Crystal Water

[Guest guest]

Actually, how I make mine is very easy.

I use filtered water to begin with and put it in a container in the

refridgerator with one tumbled crystal. I use tumbled crystals

because of the banging around factor and I don't want it to chip.

Usually within 24 hours you can actually taste the difference in the

water.

 

I just keep refilling the pitcher with fresh water as it gets low.

Depending upon how low I let it get, I can drink it the next day or

need to wait a day to get the same benefits.

 

Below are some articles from others on how they do their crystal

water, aka crystal elixirs.

 

GEM REMEDIES

 

As crystals have powerful vibrations, it is easy to transfer these

vibrations to water. Gem remedies also known as elixirs can be taken

internally--unless the stone is toxic. They can also be applied to

the skin or put into bath water. Remedies such as Black Tourmaline

can be put into a mister in water and sprayed into the room.

 

TO MAKE A GEM ELIXIR...

 

Place a cleansed, nonfriable crystal in a glass bowl with spring

water (Place friable or toxic stones in a small glass jar and then in

the glass bowl. This is the indirect method.) Stand the bowl in the

sunlight for twelve hours and/or then in the moonlight. (depending

on the stone) Remove the crystal and bottle the mother tincture in a

glass bottle with an airtight stopper. To keep for more than a week,

add fifty percent brandy or vodka as a preservative and store in a

cool, dark place. Add to bathwater or make a dosage bottle.

 

This is a list of crystals which are NOT suited for elixirs etc.

Before you put any stone in contact with food or make a water to

drink or gem elixir you should make sure that it is safe to do so.

This is only a few of the stones that should not be ingested .There

are a lot of non contact ways to create elixirs and because there are

toxic stones and some stones are easily damaged by water the non

contact methods are prefered. Many of these are copper containing

minerals (copper is toxic to our bodies), but there are also others

for instance, rocks that contain Lead or Arsenic, Cadmium, Aluminum,

Barium or Mercury. (There are a lot of other stones and substances

that should not be put in water to drink these are just some of them

(not kidding!).

 

Amazonite - use with caution, the color is a result of traces of

copper,

which is toxic)

Atacamite - poisonous (copper)

Auricalcite - Poisonous (zinc and copper)

Azurite - poisonous (copper)

Boji-stones - unfit - (contains some sulfur) There is some secrecy re

it's contents - which means you really should not drink it. (Would

you take a pill you did not know the contents of?)

Bronchantite - unfit and poisonous (copper)

Chalcantite (AKA " blue shit " ) - poisonous (copper)

Chalcopyrite (peacock stone) - poisonous (copper and sulfur)

Cinnabar - poisonous (mercury/quicksilver)

Conicalcite - poisonous (copper)

Copper - poisonous

Crysocolla (AKA Venus-stone) - poisonous (copper)

Cuprite - poisonous (copper)

Dioptase - poisonous (copper)

Gem Silica - poisonous (copper)

Galena/ Galenite - poisonous (almost 90 percent lead)

Garnierite (AKA Genthite/ Falcondoite) - Contains nickel

Halite - will dissolve in water ( Halite is Salt)

Hematite - will rust

Lapis Lazuli - poisonous (the pyrite inclusions, that is.)

Magnetite - unfit (Iron, will rust)

Markasite - poisonous (sulfur) (marcasite has the same chemical make-

up

as pyrite)

Mohawkite - poisonous (copper, ARSENIC etc.) (Keep away from

children!)

Psiomelan - poisonous (barium)

Pyrite (AKA fool's gold; Inca-gold) - poisonous (sulphur)

Realgar - poisonous (sulfur and ARSENIC) (Keep away from children!)

Orpiment -an arsenic

Stibnite (has Lead, Antimony)

Smithsonite (AKA Galmei/Zinc spar)- poisonous (zinc may also contain

copper))

Ulexite - The rock will loose its luster when in contact with water

Vanadanite - Poisonous (lead)

Wulfenite - Poisonous (lead and molybdenum)

The general rule is:

Avoid making elixirs and massage oils of any stone/ mineral/ crystals

containing any kind of metal (lead, copper etc.).

If you don't know the chemical make-up of the kind of rock you have -

avoid any blue or green stone, because most of the blue and green

stones get their color from its copper contents. (Especially the

bright colored ones.) Also avoid any shiny, metal-like stone, because

most metals are toxic to humans.

And one last, general warning:

Stones containing arsenic (like Realgar) and mercury (like Cinnabar)

should not even be worn nor handled without protective gloves etc.

because of its extremely high toxicity.

Some stones such as Uranium should be avoided because of

Radioactivity. Chocolate colored Tiger's Eye may have been

irradiated .

We do not have a list of radioactive stones. I think that in general

crystal healing practitioners will be better off not using

radioactive stones in their work at all. Certainly you would not make

gem elixirs or do laying on of stones with these.

You are not likely to come into possession of these stones

unwittingly ,unless you live in an area where some of these might be

found locally. I have come to feel that it is best to work with

energy and other non contact elixirs methods the quality of energy is

equal or better to conventionally made elixirs. There have been cases

where some stones, Chocolate tigers Eye for example have been

irradiated to obtain a particular color.

Making Gemstone Elixirs and Sprays

B Y J O Y S P R I T E

I BECAME AWARE OF ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES WHEN my oldest son was about

a year old. He had an ear infection and the doctor wanted him to take

antibiotics. A friend suggested I get some ear drops made with

Echinacea and garlic. I decided to try the Echinacea and garlic drops

even though I had gone by to fill the prescription for antibiotic.

When we had a follow up visit with the doctor a week later he was

well pleased with Ian's speedy recovery. I didn't tell him that Ian

had had herbal eardrops instead of the antibiotic, and afterwards,

our trips to the doctor for colds, flu and minor infections were

greatly reduced. I became interested in herbal therapies and learned

how to use teas, capsules, tinctures and ointments made with natural

herbs. From there I learned about homeopathy and flower essences and

using the energetic signature of a substance to bring about healing.

 

As I moved onto my crystal path I was pleasantly surprised to learn

that some healers used crystals and stones to create elixirs for

healing. Though I was quite interested in the idea of using crystal

energies internally, it was a while before I got around to using this

form of therapy. My primary interest was in creating elixir sprays

that could be used to cleanse and clear a room instead of sage or

incense, but the first time I ever made an elixir for internal use

was a couple of years ago when a special friend of mine became very,

very ill. His roommate reported that his fever was quite high and his

chest was terribly tight and congested. I was quite concerned and

decided to go and check on him. Just as I was about to leave I had

the idea to pop open my healing box and choose some crystals to make

an elixir. There was no time to create an elixir with sunlight, as it

was evening, so I decided to simply put them into his water bottle,

being sure that it had a squeeze top so he couldn't swallow or choke

on a stone. The stones stayed in the bottom of the bottle throughout

the time he was sick, hospitalized and recovering. When he was well

he brought them back to me and I cleared and returned them to my

healing box.

 

While I was disappointed that the elixir I prepared didn't cause him

to leap from his sickbed, a sudden picture of vibrant health, I have

been encouraged by the fact that he has not since had an illness

overtake him in such a manner. I believe that the stones in his water

bottle did have an effect on the core reason for his susceptibility

to such serious illness. Since that time, my experience with elixirs

has shown me that the vibrational shift from using them is often

subtle and deep. So, while one may not experience amazing instant

results, over time the root cause of the problem may be cleared.

 

Gemstone elixirs are similar to flower essences in that they are made

so they contain the essence of the vibrations of the crystals or

stones used. As one consumes the elixir over time, the vibrational

essences work on the root cause of " dis-ease " so that the person can

clear the issues that created it and the dis-ease can be relieved.

Elixirs can be made for immediate consumption or can be preserved and

used sublingually, and they are simple to create. If you are going to

make your own gemstone elixirs you will require a few bits and pieces

that are easily obtained. First you will want to get some pure

distilled water and then find some clear glass or crystal containers

that will allow the sunlight to pass through the water containing the

crystal. If you are going to make an elixir to drink right away this

may be the only thing you will need, as you make the elixir and drink

it as soon as you make it. If you are going to store and use the

elixirs over a period of time you will also require some medium sized

dark bottles, some small dosage bottles and some brandy, vegetable

glycerin or apple cider vinegar for preservative. Make sure that all

of your containers and bottles are carefully washed and thoroughly

rinsed and have air-dried.

 

Of course, the most important part of the elixir is the stone or

crystal from which the essence will be made. You may desire to

consult crystal-healing books, or intuitively choose stones. You can

also use kinesiology testing (strength testing) to choose appropriate

stones. This is easy. You stretch out your left arm and make it stiff

and strong. Have someone test its strength by pressing down on it.

Then, hold the stone in the other hand and have someone press down on

your outstretched arm to see how " strong " you are with the stone. If

the arm is hard to press down the stone will be good for you to use

and if it is easy to press down then the stone is not the right

choice for you at this time.

 

It is perfectly ok to choose more than one stone with which to make

an elixir. Sometimes mixing crystal vibrations in one elixir is much

easier than making a lot of separate ones and then taking a number of

them for the desired result. The most important thing about making

elixirs from crystals and stones is to make sure that the stone you

are using is not water-soluble and does not contain mercury, arsenic,

copper, or other toxic substances. One way to determine if the stone

you are about to use is not suitable for traditional elixir

preparation is to look in a really good mineral guide to find out

what the stone's physical properties are. You might be surprised to

find that some stones, like malachite for example, cannot be used in

water to prepare an elixir. The book, Love is in the Earth, by

Melody, sometimes has information on whether or not a stone can be

used to prepare an elixir. When in doubt, there is an alternative

method that can be used that I will describe further on in this

article.

 

Most elixirs are prepared initially by placing the chosen stones in a

clear jar or container filled with distilled water and setting the

container outside in full and bright sunlight for at least an hour.

Elixirs for immediate use can be poured up and drunk by the glassful.

To preserve an elixir pour one ounce of brandy, vegetable glycerin or

apple cider vinegar into the water. This will stabilize the

vibrational energies and preserve the mixture. Once you have

preserved your elixir you can pour it into a dark bottle. This first

preparation is called the " mother bottle " . To prepare a dosage

bottle, pour a small one-ounce bottle � full with distilled water.

Then fill to the top with your preservative and add several drops of

elixir from the mother bottle. Once you have prepared your dosage

bottle you will want to shake it hard for several minutes or pound

the bottom of it on your palm (but not so hard you break the bottle).

This is similar to the process of percussion that homeopaths use to

set the energies of substances in homeopathic remedies. In fact it is

a good idea to shake or " percuss " your dosage bottle every time you

prepare to take an elixir. You may then use several drops under the

tongue or drink a glass of pure water, with several drops of dosage

elixir added, at least four times daily.

 

You can supercharge your elixir, during the preparation stage, by

leaving in the sun during the time of the full or new moon. You can

charge it up even more by placing it in a dark spot, after energizing

it in the sun, and surrounding the container with quartz points in a

similar way that you would use the fairy circle or medicine wheel

grid, with the container as the center of the grid. You can leave

this for a week or so while it receives added amplification from the

quartz. Afterwards you may preserve the elixir and create your mother

and dosage bottles.

 

A similar technique may be used in preparing elixirs from stones that

may not be placed in the water due to water solubility or toxic

substances. In the case of such stones, fill the container with

distilled water and place it in the sun. Surround it with a number of

the stones that you desire to absorb the essences of. Then create a

fairy ring or medicine wheel of quartz points, facing inward, around

the container and its exterior stones. This will help to focus the

energy of the stones into the water. Remember, if you are leaving

such a container in the sunshine with quartz around it, that quartz

can magnify the sun's energy and start a FIRE if you leave it in the

grass. Be careful where you place quartz if you are using it in the

sunlight and be nearby just in case. Once you have energized the

stones out of doors in the sunlight, you can continue this process

with the quartz supercharging technique described above.

 

Always, when you have prepared elixirs, mother bottles and dosage

bottles, be diligent about marking them carefully. On each bottle you

should include the stones and preparation technique used, the date

the preparation was started and whether the bottle is a mother

bottle, or dosage bottle. If you do this you will avoid having a

cabinet full of elixirs that you can't really use because you don't

know for sure what is in them.

 

Some other uses for elixirs include elixir sprays. They are also easy

to make by adding several drops of elixir to distilled water. I use

them when I am in situations where sage or incense is not acceptable

for clearing a space. I have also had baths with gem elixirs, using a

teaspoon or so in the bath. It is like taking the stones in the bath

with you without the risk to the stones or to the body (sitting on a

sharp crystal can be painful). One can even use elixirs in plant

water! Elixirs can be safely used for pets IF you are absolutely sure

of the safety of the stones you prepared them with or if they are

prepared with the alternative technique leaving the stones outside

the container. The easiest way I have found to give elixirs to pets

is to pop several drops of dosage elixir into the pet's water each

day until the pet appears to be cleared of the dis-ease. Be sure to

contact your vet for serious problems.

 

Elixirs may be used in alignment with the lunar calendar, for both

people and pets. Some people feel that starting with new moon or full

moon energy adds to its potency. It is also a good way of keeping

track of the time you are taking them, as most elixirs are only

needed for a month or so. If you are unsure if you still need to take

an elixir, you can use kinesiology testing to see if you are still

strong with the elixir by holding the dosage bottle in your right

hand and having someone do the 'strong muscle' test for you. And that

is all there is to getting started with gemstone elixirs. Have fun

and enjoy the process of creating something healing and wonderful

with your favorite crystals and stones.
