Covid-19 - top 6 ways to get better SLEEP in times of stress
I have heard from so many people that getting good, quality sleep is a challenge right now! Here are my top 6 recommendations to better sleep in times of stress:
1) Pick a calming crystal to wear everyday, all day. I like Botswana Agate and find it as effective as CBD oil. There are other great calming crystals like howlite, chrysoprase, and amethyst. Pick one and let it support you all day.
2) Do a DAILY detox of energy especially EMFs. We are all in our homes using devices to stay connected. This coupled with staying in a space with the same people day after day can cause an energetic overload on our systems! Do something each day to detox like: take a bath in sea salt, drink green tea, walk barefoot outside, meditate with a grounding crystal (hematite, shungite, smoky quartz), sit by a salt lamp.
3) NO SCROLLING IN BED! You know what I’m talking about - ban the cell phone from your bed - and all other devices too. Read, relax, write in a journal…use your bed as a time when your brain can get a break from taking in lots of information.
4) Diffuse restful oils in your bedroom. Use all the systems your body has to help you get into a good state for restful sleep. Aromatherpy is a wonderful way to tap into the power of your brain. My favorite bedroom combo is 2 drops lavender, one drop cedar wood.
5) Bathe before bed. Taking a warm shower or bath before bed can help transition your energy. Set up your room before your bathe - put your journal by your bed, or your favorite book, put a mug of green tea on your bedside table, lower the lights, and get your aromatherapy going. Then return from the shower or bath to a spa-like setting, ready for snoozing.
6) Use a crystal as a sleep aid. If your sleep challenges include waking up and not being able to go back to sleep, place chrysoprase under your pillow. If instead your mind races and you can’t get to sleep, place a pice of amethyst by your bedside and hold a piece of selenite for a few minutes when you first get into bed.
