MY FRIEND CAME TO ME FOR HELP AS I HAVE JUST BEGAN A CRYSTAL THERAPY COURSE BUT I AM UNSURE ON WHERE TO GO AND MY TUTOR IS OFF SICK. CAN ANYONE HELP ME AS MY FRIEND IS DESPERATE.

She can’t sleep at night, she has been prescribed sleeping pills by her GP but they don’t really help and so she has stopped taking them. When she does eventually drop off, she jolts awake after just an hour or two, dozes fitfully, but then wakes up again, and so it goes on. During the day she feels slightly nauseous, spaced out and headachy. A feeling that worsens when she gets home from work.

Please please help

Hi ,  

Your friend sounds as though negativity has reached overload . Before she tries to sleep she should lie down on the grass face down  for 10 min and ask mother earth to absorb the negative energy from her. Once she feels less burden she could place Rose Quartz ,amethyst or chyrophase under her pillow.

If she is being troubled by nightmares,stones for protection are needed such as Tourmaline or smokey quartz.    I hope she finds peace soon .

Another crystal is Sodalite which I just bought for calming,harmony, metabolism  reasons but the paper i got with it says it is also Combats Insomnia.

Celestite, amethyst(point facing down toward feet for sleeping), lepidolite, calcite all can help with sleep. Celestite can help with insomnia. Green stones also. Green is a color of acceptance. When going to sleep move energy out of the head and into the feet, as over thinking can keep one awake. Acceptance is a needed part of being able to fall asleep well. She also might need to be more physically active, not sure what kind of work she does but likely she needs more balance in her physical activity. Breathing exercises can help us handle things better and cleanse the body and mind. Stretching can open up pathways that allow pain and negative energy to pass through and leave the body. Lavender eye pillows or essential oil. My mum has had trouble sleeping and found putting the smell of lavender around like on her pillow or the oil under her nose can help immensely.
