By my bed

[Belle]

I have a bunch of crystals lined up by my bed - amethyst, quartz, moonstone, some jet pieces, some sand from Egypt (a country where I have an affinity).

Is it a good idea or bad idea to have crystals by your bed and should there be some I should avoid or some I should have

Nope it's fine to have them by your bed. The only reason I would imagine you would not want them by your bed is if they bring you bad dreams, some have a way of doing that. You can play it all by feel though. Some nights I have to remove my Moldavite from the area or I will have intense dreams all night resulting in a poor night of sleep. Some nights I love it, but when I have to get up early it's a little too much.

Worst thing I ever did was sleep with the back of my head to the window, especially on full moon nights. Really wacky dreams. Not a good idea.

sounds more like a Feng shui issue than a crystal issue, I think there is something about where to place your bed... I think putting the foot of the bed, so your feet are pointing towards the door...

of course, if this means your head is towards the window, on a full moon night ...

choices, choices, lol ! How does one choose ? And then, if you put the wrong crystal by your bedside, if there is a wrong one ... I'm not sure ... oh oh

I think it is just experimentation , to see what works best for each person

I put Obsidian by my bedside once and boy the nightmares were horrible. It's because of Obsidian's raw energy that strips away illusions. Everything with crystals regardless of what you read about them is trial and error for you personally. Just like one medication may heal one person and harm the next, crystals can be the same way in nature. I am not saying they will harm you or anything if you pick the wrong one, if you do pick the wrong one you will know it. But they can have negative effects on you like nightmares, unwanted visions, unwanted psychic powers, things of that nature. A lot of people wish they were psychic but then once they have their first psychic experience they are quickly wishing away their newly discovered talent. You must try each crystal and see how it works with you personally. Each and every one of us have a totally different chemistry running through our bodies and brains. In general we are all the same but the fine details are different, much the same way we all have different finger prints.

I like to sleep with crystals under my pillow, for the last month or so I have been sleeping with a piece of clear quartz. Just before I fall a sleep I like to hold on to the crystal.
