5 Energy Tending Tools to Improve Your Sleep
When I moved into my current apartment, my sleep was horrible. I thought it was the stress of a move and that things would settle down once I settled in.
Six months later, my sleep was the worst it had ever been – seriously even worse than when my son was an infant. And he was a bad sleeper – he didn’t sleep through the night until he was one year old.
It wasn’t my “sleep hygiene” – I had mastered that.
Sunlight first thing in the morning. ✔️
Work out consistently, but make sure it is timed perfectly. ✔️
No caffeine after 2, no food or stimulants 2 hours before bed. ✔️
Set up the room right – lights dimmed beforehand, temperature below 68 but above 60, earplugs, eye mask, the right sheets, etc. ✔️
No daytime naps (I have always struggled to nap anyway, so this was easy.) ✔️
Unwinding before lights out – journaling, reading, yoga, and many more. ✔️
Really the only one I have ever struggled with is consistent sleep time – but it was close enough to not be a major problem. (Check out my sleep tools here.)
It wasn’t perimenopause side effects – I tried many things to see if that was it. Including taking courses and reading books on menopause. Only one tool outside of sleep hygiene helped a little – Lion’s Mane.
It wasn’t a medical issue – I explored the Western medicine route and there was nothing wrong.
Fed up, I turned to spiritual and energetic causes. I started to learn about how our land and physical spaces are impacted by the exact same spiritual and energy issues we deal with on a soul level. It’s not just us that can have an energy imbalance, a curse or a being attached to the land.
In fact, I found that often our land can have more issues than we do. It picks up everything we do on it, plus can hold the energies of portals, other dimensions and more.
Turns out this was my sleep problem – it wasn’t me, it was my apartment.
My new place had a LOT of issues. In fact, my mentor said that it would take a dedicated group of shamanic practitioners’ decades to clear it all.
But I didn’t plan on staying here for a decade. And I wasn’t going to spend the money hiring that many people to clear land and a building that I didn’t own.
So, what did I do?
I did pay for some spiritual clearing of my actual apartment, and some of the major land issues that directly impacted me. I am trained to do this work, but sometimes it is hard to do it when you are regularly impacted by it. You don’t always see the whole picture because you are in it. This is why I paid someone else to do the majority of it.
I will do occasional spiritual healing work on my space if there is a smaller issue that I know I can do easily.
But the big tool that I use to manage most of it is energy healing and tending.
These are my top five go-to techniques that you can easily do too.
Change Sheets Every 3 to 4 Days
I know this is a lot, but it makes a big difference. Just like our clothes and sheets take on our physical dirt, they also pick up our energetic dirt. They also pick up the energy of the space around you. Cleaning them regularly will help keep their energy clean. Which will improve your sleep!
This one is so powerful that on nights I can’t fall asleep, I will get up and change them. I just did this the other night at 2 AM!
Use Essential Oils to Clear the Space
I like to use Palo Santo to clear out any bad energies. I use this because it removes the bad but leaves the good. Sage and other plants take everything, and you need to do a complete reset of the space. Additionally, I use essential oils, so I don’t have to stay awake because I am burning something. This way I can set it to run and go to sleep.
This is the brand I use. After lots of research they stood out as the best. Plus, they are a small business with amazing customer service. And they aren’t MLM!
Reiki for Space Clearing
Reiki is a great way to clear away what doesn’t serve you or your space. For me, I use both pre-recorded videos and do Reiki myself.
The biggest difference for me is that sometimes if there is a specific part of the room that feels heavy, I will do the Reiki so I can ensure it is cleared and there is nothing else there.
If you are not Reiki attuned, don’t worry – the pre-recorded videos work just as well. What I would recommend is that you find one that is as specific as possible. For example, if nothing major is off a generic space clearing will work. But let’s say you have noisy neighbors that fight – you would want to look for one that is geared towards removing others’ energy.
Can’t find what you need? I do custom Reiki videos so you can get exactly what you need and use it over and over again.
Rattle in the Corners
This is one of the first energy clearing techniques I learned. It is quick, easy and makes a big difference. Negative energies get stuck in the corners, just like cobwebs do!
Grab something that makes noise and rattle it towards the corner. It doesn’t matter what it is, just that it makes noise. It can be a baby rattle, a jar of something that makes noise – really anything will work.
As I am doing this, I like to state the intention that all negative energies move on, but this isn’t required. The rattling alone will work.
Selenite in the Corners
One way to help protect the entire room and at the same time clear the bad energy is to place small bits of selenite in each corner.
It doesn’t have to be a big piece, mine are about the length of my pinkie finger and smaller than the width of a green bean.
If you have a room that has a weird shape, place a piece of selenite near each corner that changes the layout. For example, my bedroom is a square with a long hallway to the bathroom. I have selenite in the four corners of the square part, and then one in each corner of the long hall.
What to Do if These Don’t Work
If these basics aren’t helping, it may be time to make sure that there are no spiritual issues affecting you or your bedroom. You can learn more about how to decide if that is what you need in this article: https://andreabelzer.com/spiritual-land-and-space-tending/
There are many different tools that can assist you in cleaning up your space. For this article, I brainstormed what tools I used over the past week to tend my space. The list of spiritual and energy tools that I used this week was over 20 and I stopped writing them down once I hit that number. But knowing which to use isn’t always easy when you are new to tending energy. For that reason, I put together a course on Energetic Sovereignty. The focus is your personal sovereignty, but the course also includes a section on your space. Including learning how to read the energy of your room.
