GEM ELIXIRS http://www.pjentoft.com/f-28-gemelixir.html

 

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

elixirs or gemstone waters. These are made by infusing pure water with

the energy of the crystal or stone .

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.

 

While some crystals may be safe to put directly in water we do not

recommend conventional immersion methods ( making gem elixirs by

soaking stones in water).

It is not always possible to get accurate information about the

toxicity of stones,water can damage some stones and bits may break off etc

.. Energy methods can be used to make excellent elixirs without risk.

You can use small polished stones but instead of immersing them in the

water

you should choose another method . Some methods are to use a nested

double container or you can you set the stones outside of the water

container

or run the energy of the stone or crystal into the water with a

shakti (energy frequency) or by intention as you hold the stone against

the side of the container of water.

 

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. This may be

safe provided the quartz crystals have no inclusions of other material,

no loose parts etc we still think that non contact methods are preferable.

 

Traditionally Gem elixirs were 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.

It is better to put the stone or stones in one dry container then place

that container into the container with the water making sure that the

container does not tip.

 

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 are great. 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 waterford type crystal

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

enhance the energy of the resulting elixir .

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 . If you use Alcohol choose

a drinkable but inexpensive alcohol.

If you live in the Portland, Oregon Area you might try using New Deal

Vodka a locally made vodka with a nice energy. Christian Brothers Brandy

is also a nice choice. You do not need to make your gem elixirs with

really fine expensive liquor.

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..

Better methods the non contact elixirs

 

These Alternate methods have always been used to make elixirs with

stones that are unsafe or fragile or water soluble or otherwise

unsuitable to be immersed in water.

 

Double container method

Place 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.

 

Surround

Place the stone or stones around the outside of the water and either

use intention or use sunlight.

 

Charge by intention

 

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.

 

 

Shakti

You can use the gem elixir shakti from the crystal empowerments 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.

 

Spiritual assistance

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 and the
