INDULGENT PILLOWCASES

Tuck yourself between the thick linen sheets at La Colombe d’Or in the south of France and the air rustles with the supremely relaxing scent of lavender. Spritzing your sheets with a combination of essential oils and water is an ancient practice worth reviving, both for its sleep- and relaxation-inducing powers and just knowing that you’ve taken the time to make your environment a little bit luxurious, to make yourself feel extra cared for.

PSYCHIC SLEEP

Yoga nidra, which means “psychic sleep,” is an ancient practice that can be highly restorative—a single session (between 20 and 40 minutes) is said to be equivalent to hours of sleep. You aren’t actually sleeping during a session, but you’re meant to get close—to be talked down to the moment when your body is still enough to sleep and yet your mind is still awake. The goal is to quiet the conscious mind in order to tap into the potential of the subconscious. The overall effect is deeply relaxing.

If you’re interested in giving it a try, and we recommend you do, you can find recordings of yoga nidra meditation online—we’ve listened to Kirit Thacker, the head of yoga at Ananda, the very luxe and very authentic Ayurvedic spa in India. The more you practice yoga nidra, the easier it becomes to conjure the sensations requested (hot and cold, feelings of lightness and heaviness). And although you can do a session at any time, it’s an ideal right-before-bedtime ritual—particularly if you struggle with a restless body while attempting to fall asleep.
