It will not have escaped you that very often when we are looking for a mineral to solve a problem whatever it may be, the books refer us to a typical mineral without even giving us the legitimate reasons and without even, through the somatization, understanding the why of our ills. Indeed, if we are looking for a stone for sleeping we will often be advised to use Amethyst, Celestine or many others, but does treating sleep disorders in the broad sense have any real logical or Well, is it better to refine it by looking for the reason for this disruption?
Any stone dealer will systematically rely on the index of his book to cite the stones written in black and white next to each ailment, without looking further into "why this stone and not another?". On the other hand, any good therapist, whether naturo, phyto, or litho, will do their job as a therapist before putting on their second hat according to the specificity of their course. As a therapist and lithotherapist, I always seek 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 which in my opinion 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 to treat this disorder for what it is, and rely on any book regardless of the author, and choose one of the stones treating this disorder, or seek the deep and true cause of what causes this imbalance. The first question that would be good and legitimate to ask in this case would be, why am I unable to fall asleep? 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 just the tree that hides the forest and on each primary symptom, we can choose to stick a label and leave it there, or decide to go back up the framework. 'to the true source, as one would do by going up and traversing the tree from the crown 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 through which a whole bunch of other underlying illnesses and more or less deeply buried in the unconscious, or in the unconscious subconscious, result. Behind sleep, many other somatic symptoms are often hidden, such as: 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 we can experience in many children during their tender years, from which I myself left in my time. From this new symptom, we can continue to trace the plot like this until we arrive at the very source of what could at any time have generated a psychological or psychosomatic imbalance.
Finally, to finish this long preamble, certain sleep disorders could be caused by telluric or magnetic disturbances or even by lunar or planetary cycles of greater or lesser energy, and here again it will be necessary to adapt the demand according to the cause. real and true, once it has been perfectly identified, hence the crucial interest in relying on a litho-therapist for the choice, advice and purchase of minerals, rather than on an average store selling crystals and minerals, as beautiful and shiny as the minerals offered are because let's not forget that not everything that glitters is necessarily gold.
Now let's get to the heart of the matter and address the list of crystals favorable for treating sleep disorders and promoting optimal rest.
