***Author by Zoe Porter from TrulyExperiences*** 
I’m one of those lucky people that fall asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow. But I wasn’t always like that. I’d spend ages tossing and turning and thinking about the day, and once I finally drifted off, the smallest thing would wake me up. I tried a lot of things to get a good night’s sleep. Meditation didn’t seem to work, counting sheep drove me crazy, and breathing exercises made me want to laugh.

Then I discovered crystals.                          

A good friend of mine is a high-flying businessman who’s always on the go. But he looks fresh and wide awake, even when he’s jumped on the red-eye and had several meetings by 9 am. I asked him how he did it, and he let me in on his secret.

He uses crystals for everything, from money manifestations to relationships and getting a restful night's sleep. Now I do too.

I’m going to share with you how you can use calming crystals to enjoy restful, revitalizing sleep.

A powerful angelic stone, full of unconditional love and profound healing, Celestite is my friend’s favorite. He says the calming crystal brings him closer to his spiritual awareness, connects and balances all the upper chakras, and opens his heart to receive love.

He’s right. Celestite helps you connect deeper into yourself and your awareness of who you are. When you feel connected to yourself and calm in that space, then sleep is never an issue. Lay Celestite crystals down your heart center while lying in bed or keep a piece of this stone nearby. The power of this calming crystal power will find you.
