Crystals, Remedies, and Guidance for a Good Nights Sleep
Growing up I was the child that could sleep through anything; someone vacuuming, a family gathering, car rides, you name it and I was completely asleep regardless of my external environment. I also chose that if anytime of day I wanted to sleep, I would. So my parents would find me in the most random places like under the dinning
room table, under the toilet with my butt in the air, and under the bed. As I got older, I still slept well through the night, it just became more of a challenge to fall asleep. That was until I created better habits before I went to bed! As you may know, how well and how much you sleep at night plays a large roll in your overall health, happiness, brain function, energy levels, and so much more. To get a good nights rest sets your day up for success before you even begin. If you're someone who may have a hard time falling asleep at night below are better habits, remedies, and crystals that I have done for some time now and fall asleep immediately after I finish my routine.
Remedies For Better Sleep
-
Meditation
Meditation is the practice of being mindful and fully aware of the present moment. You begin to tune out of your external world and tune into your internal world. I have been practicing meditation for years and I will tell you no two meditations are the same, but after every single one of them after you open your eyes you feel more present, centered, grounded, aware, and aligned with who you are. If you are new to meditation begin with at least 3 minutes. If you have meditated before, use your intuition to guide what meditation is best for you! Depending on the night, I will do anywhere between 20 minutes to 1 hour. I also highly suggest giving yoga nidra a try. In Sanskrit yoga nidra means "Yogic Sleep." In this state, your mind and body are at rest while you are fully conscious.

2. Yoga
Yoga in Sanskrit means "union," union of the mind, body, and spirit. It can help lower your blood pressure, slow your heart rate, support a healthy circulation, detoxify the body, encourage cell regeneration, and support a healthy immune system. Even 10-20 minutes of consistent bed time yoga can make a huge difference in your overall well-being and promote a good nights rest.
There are many great night time yoga options available for free on youtube!

Crystals are an incredible tool to use alongside your night time routine, as long as you are using the correct crystals! You want the crystals that work in harmony with what your body needs. I use crystals during my meditation and to sleep with to promote a deeper and peaceful nights rest.

4. Gratitude Journal
Honestly any type of journal is beautiful to use, but I have found a gratitude journal is an all in one. A place where you can take the time to speak from your heart space of all the things, people, places, events, miracles, little things, big things, hard lessons, you name it and find gratitude and love for it all.
"Gratitude is the ultimate state of receivership. It's the gateway to unconditional love and openness in your heart. It's the realization that everything in life is beautiful just as it is. Gratitude immediately changes your perception from a state of sadness or fear to creation, understanding, and presence. Being grateful is a way of life." - Rachel Hancock

5. Essential Oils
You can breathe in the oil or use a roll-on that is diluted with the essential oil to put directly on your skin.
Make sure you are using a company that has reliable resources like lab-testings to prove their oils are 100% all natural. I personally use Plant Guru and it's the company we use to sell at our storefront, Lovingthyselfrocks, as well. I have used Doterra and Young Living in the past and both of their essential oils are lovely as well.
(1)Lavender Oil - used to promote deep sleep, calming the nervous system, and inner peace.
(2)Rose Oil - awakening and balancing the heart chakra, allowing you to be more present within your body instead of following a racing mind before bed.
(3)Ylang Ylang - helps lower blood pressure and a racing heart.
(4)Peppermint Oil - can help you breathe more clearly by opening up your nasal passageways and helps clear your head.
(5) Sandalwood Oil - can help balance your mood.
