Conjuring For Healing, Is this wise? Options

I have been having thoughts of conjuring a spirit or entity for sake of asking for my mind to stop buzzing so much. I have not been able to sleep very much, and my condition is slowly wasting away as I trudge through each day exhausted from a night of feeling like there is a static storm zapping around in my head.

Is it a wise idea to make a conjuration ritual to summon an entity known for helping the health and well being of humans for this purpose? And if so, who? I am thinking of one who is known for medicine, perhaps a polite request for the presence of Hermes. Any comments or suggestions?

Raphael of Tiphareth is my go to guy for this sort of thing. I recommend him.

I concur with Nero on this. My experience with Raphael was safe, positive, and very effective for what I needed. Assuming you intend to do it more properly than I did, though, I'm guessing you will want a sigil. Nero, you've got one for Raphael, yes?

I agree as well, although it sounds like there is too much fire and air in your system. So alternatively you could try earth element meditation, a la bardon's method, to balance it out. If you wanted to evoke a spirit, Raphael is good suggestion, but also sylphs to control the air aspect of intellect, salamanders to control the fire aspect if your problem is too much mental energy, or again gnomes if you want to raise earth energy to balance it out.

Really the best solution will depend on the root of the problem. Why is your mind racing so much? Are you stressed, not expressing yourself creatively enough, or have too much energy? An hour on the bike or treadmill might just solve your problem.

Yoga nidra is another effective method of calming the mind and getting plenty of sleep, although the practice itself is not supposed to put you to sleep - it certainly works if you allow it to. Chanting a long mantra can help as well, simply chanting it when you lay down until your mind is calm and you fall asleep - also you'll have a great effect on your dreams as well more than likely.

A method I have used to calm my mind - as a gemini (which I beleive you are as well, yes?) mental activity is one of my 'strong points' as well as an occasional obstacle - is to visualize my mind as a whole, as a pool of water. I focus on keeping the surface of the water placid and calm. By associating thought with the disturbance of the water, which is a simple intention function, as my mind begins to race, the water will begin to make ripples and waves, sometimes even froth violently. I just force the water to be calm, the surface mirrorlike, and in time it consumes my attention so completely that thought simply stops. Eventually, if I'm trying to sleep, I just fall asleep with that visual in my mind.

I would suggest rooting out the nature of the issue first, although Raphael can help you discover that as well. I would enter into conversation with him to find out, and ask his advice for solving the problem, before I would ask him to actually assist me in applying the solution, if only to have that in my tool belt.
