according to World Health Organization statistics, as many as 75 percent of U.S. adults do not meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's recommended daily Intake of 420 mg of magnesium. magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as inefficient blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue, and poor sleep.*
why is magnesium important?
• magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles, and lungs, and to support healthy blood sugar*
• promotes bronchial relaxation*
• it’s an essential mineral for electrical activity of the heart, which supports healthy heart rate and rhythm*
• helps relax smooth and skeletal muscle*
• promotes the dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation), which supports normal blood pressure and enhances blood flow*
• supports insulin sensitivity for healthy blood sugar*
• is a cofactor for enzymes involved in cellular energy production*
science has shown the benefits of taking magnesium before bed can help you fall asleep faster, sleep more efficiently, and wake up more refreshed, so what better ingredient to integrate into the bedtime route. here's a favorite of ours;
sit on or next to the bed, bring the bottle close to the heart and swirl the water and crystals,
notice the sound and feel of the bottle.
breath in, breath out.
spray onto the soles of your feet while you continue conscious breath
breath in the intention for your rest, breath out anything that could block that intention.
hold presence in the body while you stretch, how do your hips feel? how is the jaw? tip, twirl and swirl the skeleton whichever way feels best. once you feel the topical spray has dried, and the body is checked-on, you may wrap the ritual whatever way feels best. a prayer, a meditation we like to wrap with our moonbeam ritual mist. we also love to spray the linens with the moonbeam ritual mist to wrap the ritual moonbeam vibes. sweet dreams.
