Create dream rituals from "summary" of The Dream Book by Betty Bethards
Dream rituals are special practices that help us to connect with our dreams and access their deeper meaning. They offer us a way to honor our dreams and tap into their wisdom, transforming them into powerful tools for growth and healing.- Create a ritual before going to bed as part of your nightly routine. Make it unique to you and tailored to your personal preferences. Before getting into bed, pick out a comfortable dream journal or set aside a special dream blanket or crystal that will prepare you for restful sleep and sweet dreams.
- Enhance your nightly dreams by engaging with the moon or stars. Gaze out into the night sky or find a special spot where the moon shines brightly upon you. Focus on crafting a heartfelt personal intention and tuning into your inner self while laying under the starlit night.
- Unwind your body and mind through yoga or stretching before getting ready for sleep. Set aside even five to ten minutes where you become still and quiet and feel your breath move throughout your body as you gently stretch.
- Utilize visualization techniques to cultivate peacefulness and relaxation prior to bedtime. Picture yourself in various calming natural landscapes such as beaches, waterfalls, gardens or other places of solace. You may even tailer it to fit your personal preferences and otherwise connect with nature.
