ABC of stones for a peaceful night
It will not have escaped you that very often when we look for a mineral to solve a problem whatever it is, the books refer us to a typical mineral without even giving us the legitimate reasons and without even, through somatization, understanding the reason for our problems. Indeed if we look for a stone to sleep we will often be advised of Amethyst, Celestine or many others, but treating sleep disorders in the broad sense, does it have a real logical meaning or is it better to refine by looking for the reason for this disorder?
Any stone merchant will systematically refer to the index of his book to cite the stones written in black and white next to each ailment, without looking further into the "why this stone and not another?". On the other hand, any good therapist, whether in naturopathic, phytotherapy, or lithotherapy, will do his job as a therapist before taking on his second role according to the specificity of his training. As a therapist and lithotherapist, I always look for the source of each ailment in order to best treat the cause and not the symptom, and then, according to the principles and virtues specific to each crystal, advise the one that I believe would be the most or best suited to the current situation experienced by the patient.
To take the perfect example of sleep disorders, we would have the choice of treating this disorder for what it is, and relying on any book, regardless of the author, and choosing one of the stones treating this disorder, or looking for the deep and true cause of what causes this imbalance. The first question that it would be good and legitimate to ask in this case would be, why can't I find sleep? or what is the state in me that prevents me from achieving this? and so on, from symptom to symptom. Very often the sleep disorder is only the tree that hides the forest and on each first symptom, we can choose to stick a label and leave it at that, or decide to go back up the plot to the true source, as we would do by going up and going through the tree from the top to the roots and from the roots to the rootlets and finally from the rootlets to the radicles.
As I told you above, very often sleep is only the final symptom by which a whole bunch of other underlying ills are translated, more or less deeply buried in the unconscious, or in the unconscious subconscious. Behind sleep very often will be hidden many other somatic symptoms such as for example: fears or phobias, stress or anxiety, cogitations or ruminations etc. For fears and phobias for example, we can note the fear of the dark and darkness, as well as the fear of monsters or the phobia of clowns emerging from the closet or from under the bed. Fear and phobia that many children could know during the tender age, from which I myself left in my time. From this new symptom, we can continue to go back up the plot like this until we arrive at the very source of what could have at any time generated a psychic or psychosomatic imbalance.
Finally, to finish this long preamble, certain sleep disorders may be caused by telluric or magnetic disturbances or even by lunar or planetary cycles with varying levels of energy, and here again it will be necessary to adapt the request according to the real and true cause, once this has been perfectly identified, hence the crucial interest in relying on a litho-therapist for the choice, advice and purchase of minerals, more than on a standard shop selling crystals and minerals, however beautiful and brilliant the minerals offered may be, because let us not forget that all that glitters is not necessarily gold.
Now let's get to the heart of the matter and discuss the list of crystals that are beneficial for treating sleep disorders and promoting optimal rest. This list of crystals is only substantial, because we unfortunately cannot cover all of them in a single article, as the subject is vast, and the causes and symptoms are numerous.
