Restful Sleep Jar and Ritual
This jar is actually aromatherapy! You’ll need:
- a glass jar
- ¼ C baby roses-dried OR rose petals-dried
- 1/8 C lavender-dried
- 1/8 C chamomile-dried
- 1 Tablespoon rosemary-dried
- ½-¾ Tablespoon ground orris root
- a piece of moonstone, blue lace agate, or blue tourmaline (optional)
- Any of the following incense (optional): Sandalwood, frankincense, lavender, violet, passion flower, lily, or jasmine.
Light your incense (if you choose) and cast a circle. Mix in a bowl the rose, lavender, chamomile, and rosemary. Cover in the ground orris root, while saying three times (out loud or in your head):
Bring me quiet
Bring me peace
Ease my dreams
Nightmares cease
After everything is well covered by the orris root, store in a (preferably brown or blue) glass jar with a tight fitting lid and store in your bedside table drawer. You can add a piece of moonstone, blue lace agate, or blue tourmaline to the mix to make it more effective. When you are having trouble sleeping, take out the jar, uncap it and inhale deeply its sweet aroma. Then set it aside, leaving it open on your bedside table, turn off the lights and dream!
