When you need to get to sleep, first, avoid over-stimulating stones like moldavite and turquoise. You might also turn off the TV and switch to radio if need by.
Then, try to understand why you can’t get to sleep. And have full faith that you CAN enjoy restful, peaceful sleep.
Everyone is different, so please rely on your own body’s feedback, but in general here are some common problems and solutions utilized by a university of Chinese medicine.
Pyrite or Black Kyanite Under Your Pillow
If you can’t sleep due to negativity in your life, PYRITE or KYANITE eliminate negativity. Keep a fairly large piece if possible under your pillow and you’ll find it will soon be easier to relax and nod off to dreamland.
Pyrite:
Builds confidence, strength and stamina
Helps the body fight infections
Helps overcome negativity, fears and anxieties
Black Kyanite:
Ancient tales hold that the blade of Archangel Michael’s sword is made of black kyanite! A sword of truth. The gemstone protects from the predatory negativity of others.
Let it release you from the unwanted energy of others.
Pyrite Works Well In Conjunction with Hematite
Keep HEMATITE with you by wearing hematite jewelry (or keeping a pocket stone with you). It will further balance your energies and help you overcome negativity.
It prevents you from absorbing the negativity of others
It boosts self-esteem
Builds willpower and confidence
Calming Howlite
HOWLITE can also help cure insomnia by also reducing negativity, particularly if it results from conflict.
Howlite is soothing, brings ease and peace
Restores perseverance and patience
Helps overcome karmic ties with difficult family members and overcome grief
Which Is Better?
It depends on you. Hematite and Howlite are a very different stones. Howlite is much lighter in weight than hematite. Some people wear hematite all the time to help balance them. Howlite, on the other hand, can get you through a crisis.
To find out which is better for you, hold a howlite stone in your hand and breathe deeply, and do the same with hematite. Pay close attention to your response to each stone, if any, to see which stone resonates better with you.
Moonstone and Opal also restore tranquility, particularly if you are prone to overthinking things.
