Sweet Sleep - This essence was developed for adopted children originally but has proved very helpful for anyone with these issues no matter of age. Bed and sleep time can be frightening and lonely times. Fears, bad dreams, abandonment issues, trauma, vulnerability, grief and loss can be enhanced by the darkness and physical separation from caregivers. This essence supports safe and healthy sleep by providing protection of the soul during dreams, by helping one to feel whole and safe, connected and nurtured, fully and joyfully present, trusting that needs will be met and that the caregivers will still be there when one awakens. Optimism, good humor, faith and hope are inspired. Take at bedtime or when tension starts to build around the approaching bedtime. May be useful to build some quieting down time into the bedtime or late day schedule. (Crested Iris, Ivory Hollyhock, St. John’s Wort, White Bleeding Heart, White Foxglove)
