How to Prepare A Gem Essence and Crystal Elixir

Here is another message from our favorite Chiropractor.

*Please note that this does not replace the advice of a doctor. If you are having medical issues, please see your physician.*






What You Need



1. A glass container filled with about 12 ounces of water. If you are going to

be placing your essence outside be sure to cover it. Any container you use

should be cleansed well.



2. Distilled water is preferable because it's free of mineral content.



3. A crystal, which should be cleansed in salt water before being used. If

you're going to make an essence, which combines more than one crystal, you can

put them in the same container.



Basic Preparation



Sit quietly in meditation for a few minutes before preparing your essence. It's

usually not a good idea to prepare a mixture when you're upset, agitated, or in

a hurry to do something else.



1. If the temperature is above freezing you can put the water outside. Leave it

there for 24 hours (it doesn't matter if you leave it there longer). If it's

below freezing put the water in a sunny place in your house.



2. Take the crystals out of the water with clean tongs. Pour a small quantity of

the water into a one-ounce amber dropper bottle. This is considered the mother

tincture. If you are not alcohol-sensitive put in a teaspoon of brandy to

preserve it or put in the refrigerator. (During cold weather this isn't

necessary. The brandy is mainly for the purpose of preserving this tincture for

a year). Store the remainder of the essence in the refrigerator.



3. I recommend taking 8 drops of the essence under the tongue 3-4 times a day.

It is best to take it before, rather than after, a meal. How long to take the

mixture is up to what you are treating and how you feel.



4. To use this tincture externally, fill a 4 oz spray bottle or mister half full

with plain distilled water. Then fill the other half of the bottle with the

tincture you have made. Turn the bottle over a few times to blend the tincture

and distilled water together.



5. Spray over yourself or patient. Hold the bottle about a foot away from

yourself and mist your aura energy around you.



6. Gem essences are safe enough to use with children, pets and plants, too.



Gem essence work in harmony with the body by interacting with our bio-sheath and

are natural and self-adjusting. When crystals are activated by natural sunlight,

they transfer their vibrational signature into water, creating a remedy that is

safe, effective and used in conjunction with all modalities of healing.



Stones not to be used



Never use stones that can flake off into a tincture. Avoid using stones in the

Mica family. Avoid using soft stones that may leach powder or stones that are

porous. Avoid using dyed stones.

To use these softer stones, you can certainly use the double boiler method and

place a glass bowl with the stone only (no water) within another bowl with

water. The sun transfers the energy from the stone, into the water in the bowl

beneath it.



How to Prepare A Crystal Elixir



What You Need



1. A glass bottle with a roll on top or perfume spritzer.



2. Sunflower, safflower, jojoba, canola oil are good to use because they are

either light oils or are very stable oil (jojoba).



3. A crystal, which should be cleansed in salt water before being used. If

you're going to make an elixir, which combines more than one crystal, you can

put them in the same container. These crystals will stay in the bottle with the

ingredients.



4. You can also consider using the appropriate herbs in this elixir. Lavender,

chamomile, thyme, basil, orange rind, lemon rind, rose buds are all great

choices depending on what you are making the elixir for. You can also choose

these same or other scents in essential oils.



Basic Preparation



Enjoy a peaceful meditation for a few minutes before preparing your essence.

Focus your intention on what you are achieving. It's usually not a good idea to

prepare essence when you're pre-occupied, agitated, angry or upset.



1. Add your crystals to the bottle.



2. Add the oil, about ¾ full. Add the herbs, if you wish.



3. Place the mixture in the sun for 2-3 hours. The sunlight will charge the oil

with the crystal vibrations and enhance the oil with the herbal energies.



4. Bring it back indoors. We often reiki-charge the oil or you can hold the oil

at your heart level and say a positive affirmation or intention for using your

elixir.



5. If you are adding essential oils, add them at the very end.

Turn the bottle over a few times when you are ready to use it. Roll the elixir

on your pulse points at the wrist, neck, top of feet and two inches from the

groin on either side.



Stones not to be used



Never use stones that can flake off into a tincture. Avoid using stones in the

Mica family. Avoid using soft stones that may leach powder or stones that are

porous. Avoid using dyed stones.

To use these softer stones, you can certainly use the double boiler method and

place a glass bowl with the stone only (no water) within another bowl with

water. The sun transfers the energy from the stone, into the water in the bowl

beneath it.

The Clearest Perception

We’ve all heard of the infamous saying, “where there is a will there is a way.” If you reflect on some of the more trying times in your life when you didn’t know how, what or where you were going-you have experienced “the way.” This is a great test of faith. What if we used this concept but structured it differently in order to measure and achieve our goals? When we perceive clearly, plan carefully, project sincerely and remain persistent we will see outstanding results




Perception is having a clear picture - a concise concept of what you want or where you want to be in your life. In order to direct your energy and magnetize the object of your desire we must focus with razor sharp intensity. This magnetic energy will pull your desires to you. Perception is creating the perfect concept leading and directing us to our goals. Desiring a new car? See it. Touch it with and within your mind. Get a clear picture of the exact model, color and make of the car that you most want to drive. Complete this concept until you smell the interior. Drive it all the way home in your mind.



Planning. Create a plan. Writing and charting small obtainable goals is a step by step blueprint toward achieving your aspirations. It is extremely stimulating to record your goals, monitor your progress, chart the action steps and celebrate your accomplishments. When steps leading toward your goals are accomplished you become motivated with excitement and the desire to continue. A plan provides direction. Planning gives you a blueprint of what you are doing and where you are going. It will keep you on track. Planning will intensify your desires. Car? Visit car dealerships. Plan to talk to a salesman about the one you like best.





Patience. We all have moments and sometimes longer than just a moment- when we become completely annoyed with the pace that our life and our plans are taking. Patience is a virtue. The characteristic of patience can never be underestimated. We are an impatience people. Hence the era of the microwave, the instant this and the high speed that. Again, with my old time quotes, “anything good that is worth having is worth waiting for.” You cannot perceive and plan your goals and expect an overnight turnaround. Patience is similar to faith. We must have the faith that the energy we are putting into our goals will result in manifestation. Becoming impatient is like planting a seed for a crop of vegetables and going back to the soil to dig it up to see if it is still there. Plant the seed, water it with faith, prayers and your blueprint. Then step back and watch your harvest sprout. Be patience. You desire a car but you are unemployed. Unrealistic? No simply going on faith with patience as your companion.





Persistence. Each of the above outlined steps is useless if you fail to focus and remain persistent. The final step but one of the most important is not giving up. When you are reaching for something that is your desire – the process may not be easy nor burden free. Obstacles will arise and may sometime seem overwhelming but if you can catch a breath, exhale and regroup your goal is within reach. Where there is a will there is a way. The will is the persistence and the way is the path toward your aspirations. Persistence. You did your homework, shopped around, the funds manifested. What an awesome ride!!
