Chants To Keep Nightmares Away

Chant 1: Guardian Angels
Chant 2: Circle of Light
Chant 3: Sacred Sleep
Chant 4: Healing Waters
Chant 5: The Divine Shield

Nightmares are vivid, disturbing dreams that occur during the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep, influenced by various factors such as stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep disorders, and certain medications or substances. These factors can be triggered by diet, exposure to distressing media content or bad energy, unfamiliar settings, genetics, and developmental progression.

These chants are designed to be calming for a stressed, busy mind and to promote a sense of peace and protection before sleep.

Chant 1: Guardian Angels

Guardian angels, near me stay,
Guide me as I sleep and play.
Nightmares flee and shadows hide,
In your warmth, I’ll safely abide.

Chant 2: Circle of Light

Circle of light, shining so bright,
Wrap me in safety throughout the night.
Dreams of peace shall fill my sight,
Banishing nightmares, with love ignite.

Chant 3: Sacred Sleep

In the realm where the dreamers lie,
Hypnos/Sacred sleep, please hear my cry.
Let only dreams of love appear,
And keep away all that I fear.

Chant 4: Healing Waters

Waters flow, cleansing deep,
Soothe my mind as I sleep.
Nightmares drown, and dreams take flight,
In healing waters, bathed in light.

Chant 5: The Divine Shield

Divine shield, strong and bright,
Protect me from the fears of night.
In your arms, nightmares dissolve,
And in sweet dreams, my spirit evolves.

Each chant can be repeated as many times as necessary, and you can customize them to better suit your personal spirituality or beliefs. Before going to bed, you might want to sit or lie down in a comfortable position, take some deep breaths, and recite the chant softly or mentally to set a positive and protective intention for your sleep.

Thank yourself for allowing these chants to grace your nighttime routine. May your dreams be filled with peace and love.
