Should you sleep with selenite under your pillow?

The short answer is yes! Placing selenite under the pillow while you sleep can help you rebalance and feel healthier, as it cleanses and eliminates negative energies. Selenite products are available to buy online here.

What are the benefits?

Sleeping with selenite under your pillow can have a profound effect on your wellbeing. It is especially believed to be one of the best crystals to help with insomnia, a growing concern in our troubled times.

A recent survey found that:

• 36% of UK adults struggle to get to sleep at least on a weekly basis
• Almost 1 in 5 have trouble falling asleep every single night
• Nearly half of the UK have trouble falling asleep at least once a month

Which explains why more and more people are turning to alternative therapies to help them get the required seven to eight hours a night.

Selenite can promote sleep by surrounding your body with protective energy and cleansing your aura, so when you awake, you feel well-rested and energised.

Using it is simple. A small stick of selenite is placed under your pillow - maybe you’d like to cover it in a pillowcase beforehand to give it some protection -  but that’s all you need to do. It’s not only your sleep patterns which may be improved by sleeping with selenite under your pillow, there are other benefits that have been recorded by those who love this special crystal. They include:

• Soothing the heart.
• Helping you to get rid of stress and anxiety.
• Stabilizing your emotions.
• Bringing romance into your life and improving your relationship with your partner.

You might want to consider different shapes of crystals if you are looking to improve your sleep. Tumbled stones and those in spherical forms seem to be potentially more effective, as their vibrations interact more with the human electromagnetic field leading to relaxation within the body.

A word of warning: There are those who can find selenite difficult to sleep with because of its high vibrational frequency - the aspect that actually makes it effective in the first place -  so if you do find that your mind is actually more active as a result, you may want to consider placing your selenite at your bedside instead.

Also, if you are experiencing sleep disorders, anxiety or any other emotional or physical symptoms affecting your wellbeing, it is always important to seek medical help to rule out any serious health issues.

Why do people do it?

Sleeping with selenite under your pillow can connect you to its higher power even while you are unconscious of the fact. Selenite can help protect you from outside influences and energies, all of which adds up to peace of mind. It can enhance feelings of relaxation and bring with it deep sleep, so the question is not why would you do it, it’s why wouldn’t you?
