Dream Pillows |
The first thing you need when making dream pillows is cloth. If you can sew, then just stitch up two pieces to make a little pillow, or a bag with one end open. If not, buy a little cloth bag. You can use any fabric, and may even want it a certain color, depending on what the pillow will be used for. Here is a list of colors you can use. Next, you need the herbs. Here is a list of herbs and oils. These are a list from DJ Conway: OILS BERGAMOT: (not the mint kind!) soothes the nerves, gives relaxing sleep. HYACINTH: stops nightmares. JASMINE: helps increase psychic dreams, lifts depression, quiets the nerves; is calming. LAVENDER: relaxing deep sleep. LILAC: recalling past lives. MIMOSA: prophetic dreams; getting to the truth; making decisions. HERBS ANGELICA : prophetic dreams and visions. ANISE: use just a little to repel nightmares. BAY LAUREL: inspiration; repels negativity. CEDAR: helps to repel bad dreams. CLOVES: use just a tiny amount because of the strong odor. Retrieving buried memories. HOPS: restful sleep and healing. MARJORAM: relieves depression. MUGWORT: visions and prophetic dreams. MULLEIN: repels bad dreams. ROSEMARY: use just a little as it is very strongly scented. Avoid nightmares and headaches. ST. JOHNS WORT: banishes spirits. VALERIAN: deep rest. Some cats love this herb as much as catnip so keep it out of their reach! Once you have your herbs, put them in a morter and pestal, and grind them up. If you dont have one, just rip them and mix them together. While your mixing, imagine the herbs being charged with what you want, like if you want a relaxing sleep, you could use lavendar, hops, and bergamot and imagine restful energy going into them and imagine that when you wake up, you will feel great. If you want, you can cleanse and bless them at your altar.You can also give these away as gifts. |
