GEM ELIXIRS

[Guest guest]

GEM ELIXIRS

One way to benefit from the healing energy of crystals is to make gem

elixirs or gemstone

waters. These are made by charging pure water with the energy of the

crystal or stone .

Many people just like to keep a quartz or amethyst crystal in the water

they drink or use to water plants with even without further charging

this seems to improve the taste and energy of the water.

Water has the ability to hold energy patterns intact for long periods of

time.

Imprinting the subtle healing energies of crystals onto water needs no

special equipment

just focused attention , intention and sunlight.

 

Most often Gem elixirs are made by placing the cleared stone or stones

chosen in a clear

glass or crystal container with pure water and placing this in sunlight

for several hours.

Two to four hours is common, though on a very bright sunny day at noon

full charging can

occur in as little as half an hour and on overcast or cloudy days it can

take much longer.

 

Some people keep the gemstones in the water for a minimum of 24 hours

and some people

take seven or 14 days to make an elixir spending some time each day to

mentally reinforce the intention .

Conventionally made elixirs are made outside on bright sunny days. Very

cloudy days are not suitable for making most gem elixirs .Though

personally I have found that some essences made on overcast or foggy

days instead of being less powerful than those made in full sun they

bring in some different qualities that also have value and can be

wonderful and have a soft and gentle quality.

Time of day does not seem to be a critical factor in gem essences and

they are often made in the morning or at noon .

 

It is important to minimize direct physical contact with the stones and

water in order to keep

the crystal energy from absorbing your own energy and effecting the

elixir so you may wish to place and remove your stones with a spoon .

You should have a calm and focused emotional state while making elixirs

because strong emotions can effect the elixir.

 

Some people feel strongly that the container should be an undecorated

clear glass bowl others prefer cut glass or fancy type crystal feeling

that the prismatic effects from the light on the cut work enhance the

energy of the resulting elixir . You can clear glass bowls and other

objects with energy or intention and other methods just as you clear

crystals .

After the water has been charged by the gemstone it is filtered and

usually preserved with

alcohol or vinegar .

To preserve an elixir Fill a container halfway with your essence and

fill the rest of the

bottle with brandy or vodka or with vinegar. or with half vinegar or

alcohol and pure water .

The alcohol is used to inhibit bacterial growth and may also help to "

fix " the vibration.

If you intend to expand your elixir as is done with flower essences this

would be your mother essence and you would make stock bottles by placing

from three to twenty drops of mother essence in an ounce of distilled ,

spring or other pure water and an ounce of brandy or vodka or vinegar

..This stock essence is then used to make a dosage bottle by again adding

ten to twenty drops of the stock essence to two ounces of the water and

brandy mixture . this would then be the elixir or essence which you

would use for treatment .

The amount of water and the proportion of alcohol used as a preservative

does vary

somewhat among different recipes . Dark glass bottles are preferred for

storing elixirs. Label your elixirs with the gem or gems used the date

made whether it is a mother , stock or dosage bottle.

 

Gem elixirs are often used undiluted rather than being expanded either

by drinking glasses of the charged water or used by placing two to five

drops of the elixir in a glass of water or

under the tongue two to four times a day. They can also be used

topically on the skin or put in bath water. You can add them to sprays

that you use for room or aura clearing.

 

Some stones should not be used to make conventional gem elixirs .Do not

make a

conventional elixir from any stone containing known toxins .These

include but are not limited to Copper which would include azurite and

Malachite .Orpiment is arsenic and Cinnabar contains Mercury for example.

I proceed with extreme caution about other elixirs too, as I am not

quite certain how complete some books information about physical toxins

is. " Love is in the Earth " by Melody does have some mention of whether

or not a stone can be used to make conventional elixirs. It might be

possible to do some real damage with elixirs made in the conventional

way from some kinds of stones .Soaking the stones in water can cause the

leaching of toxic components into the water. I do not know how much real

danger there would be as that would depend on quite a few factors

specific stone , dose, amount of leaching of toxins etc..

 

Alternate methods used to make elixirs that are unsafe or fragile or

water soluble or otherwise unsuitable to be immersed in water include

placing the stone in a smaller container which is placed in the larger

container of water , and placing stones around the container being

charged . These are often used in combination .Some sources recommend

that you have at least six stones of the same type to place around the

container , Others use quartz points to amplify and direct the energy of

the stone you are making an elixir with into the water.

 

Another way to make an elixir is to hold a charged stone against the

side of a glass of water

and intend the crystal charge the water with its energy. This is most

effective if you are skilled at focusing your intention. but is not

usually as long lasting as using a conventional method. and may be more

suitable for making a single glass of charged water to be used within a

short time.

You can use the gem elixir shakti from the crystal empowerments

<http://home.attbi.com/%7Eskygreen/CE-outline.html>if you have been

attuned to that system and just run that while holding the stone against

a glass of or run the energy shakti of the stone (from the same system)

into the water in combination with the gem elixir shakti. When using

these methods the water is usually used immediately without adding

brandy or other preservative though if these elixirs are intended to be

kept or expanded then you do use preservative as outlined above.

 

That method is much the same as requesting the Deva of the stone empower

the water or

singing the stones song into the water but use of those ways depends on

what your

personal path or gift is in this work , and how well you are able to

make a connection with the deva in meditation . Some people use Reiki or

another frequency or system of healing energy to assist in the

transmission of the vibration pattern of the stone into the water.

 

When making gem elixirs most people select the stone or stones that are

used for the issue

they want to work on but it is advisable to meditate first to receive

guidance and permission from the stone spirit as to the uses of a

particular elixir or for guidance. These may not always be limited to

those uses found in lists of crystal properties .

Most people use gem elixirs undiluted or unexpanded though flower

essences are virtually

always expanded The dosage used is usually ten drops twice a day for a

month. If need be

repeat the dosage more frequently, for example, five drops four times a

day.

The term Gem elixir' does not just apply to semi-precious or precious

gemstones. It also

includes materials such as seashells, amber or petrified wood which

could be classified as

being of organic origin. Gem elixirs can be used undiluted or diluted.

The term Diluting may be somewhat confusing because it is generally held

that adding water to the mother or stock does not diminish the quality

or effectiveness of the elixir .

Whether the elixirs are used diluted or undiluted depends upon the

individual. Some people

feel that a person benefits best from the undiluted elixir for the first

month and later on they can be diluted However, this can be decided for

each individual.

 

The length of a treatment can be several months. You may want to change

the elixirs

monthly. The person taking them usually makes quite considerable

progress in a month.

Gem elixirs can be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment

without interfering with that treatment. Homeopathy practitioners find

gem elixirs work well together and complement one another. You can use

muscle testing or a pendulum to help with evaluating the potential

usefulness of gem elixirs. as well as meditation and intuition.

 

Flower essences are made basically the same way.

One carries the water into the garden to the flower if possible.

Meditate before or while

selecting the flower intuitively snipping it/ them quickly and putting

it into the water, it does not matter if the flower is upright or floats

or not. Flower essences are ideally made in the morning around 8:45

standard time when the dew is still fresh on them and the flowers

release a peak flow of energy for 20 to thirty minutes .You may include

a clear quartz crystal in the water for any flower essence to enhance

its energy .

Some people do make gem /flower essences by combining the gems and

flowers together at

the same time but probably more people prefer to make each essence

separately and combine them later.

 

The descriptions of the uses for several gem elixirs are included below.

These are gathered

from several sources and should only be used as a partial guide for the

use of gem elixirs.

consult gem properties list and especially your intuition for other uses

.. I have not used many of these personally, and different sources of

information often vary greatly as to the purpose the elixirs are used

for . These are predominantly suggestions for elixirs that are used for

emotional healing but one may use appropriate elixirs for any other

purpose as well. This list may have stones on it that should not be

used for conventional (water soaked ) elixirs, Many people use quartz
