Sleep Spells
Sleep Spell #1
Maybe you’re a person who needs four hours a night sleep or someone who needs eight hours a night sleep. No matter what type of sleep pattern you run, getting those hours in undisturbed everynight is crucial for your happiness the next day. Sleep is when our bodies and brains rest and repair themselves. If you are stressed not getting enough good-quality sleep, it will show in everything from headaches, to fatigue, to a slow reaction time while driving. Plus I’m sure you’re sick of hearing your own excuses if you have a bad night sleep and you need to tell someone the story of how you can’t sleep, like a boss, a teacher, or an appointment, and watch their eyes roll!
Perhaps you’ve even tried some meditation podcasts or apps to help you sleep. Sometimes these can be very helpful. But if you’re feeling stressed about why you can’t sleep, you can prolong the sleep process even further and create other symptoms such as headaches, or anxiety about the hours of sleep you will have once you get to sleep and how you feel the next day.
I recommend you try this spell, to help you relax, and to set a beautiful environment for you to enter the sleep stage.
You’ll need:
- An 8mm Amethyst, Chevron & Quartz Lotus
- A white mojo bag
- Lavender
- Jasmine
- Chamomile
- A white candle
Blend the herbs. Hold them in your dominant hand, and visualize them filling with soft, blue light.
As you do this, state your intention to have deep, restful sleep and pleasant dreams.
Fill the mojo bag, and place it and the amethyst in front of the candle.
Light the candle, and say,
“By lavender, chamomile, and jasmine too,
I wish to sleep the whole night through,
That I might rise and greet the day,
In a healed, refreshed, and rested way.”
Sit for a moment, and breathe deeply from your belly. Lower your shoulders, relax your jaw, and let your hands fall open. (If you like, sip some chamomile tea while you do this.)
When the tension has melted from your body, snuff the candle, place the mojo bag under your pillow, and set the amethyst on your night table.
Sleep well, and repeat as often as needed.
