Elixir....such a beautiful and enticing word that summons up thoughts of ancient wisdom and forgotten magic! Literally it means a magical or medicinal potion, and what we are going to write about here is how to make a gemstone elixir. Why make an elixir? By creating an elixir for yourself or a loved one using your own crystals and gems, you can harness the energy of the stones into water, which when consumed has a more profound healing effect on the body's energy systems. The water can be consumed throughout the day on a daily basis and will keep infusing your system with the healing power of the stones you have chosen to work with. There are two ways to make an elixir. Some stones are non-toxic and for those we use the ' direct method. ' Other stones are toxic and require a ' non-direct method. ' Both ways are easy and effective. The very first place to start...... Having chosen whatever issue or ailment you would like to work upon, you must then research which stones are going to be the most helpful. You can do this by reading about them online, or from a crystal book, and the more intuitive souls out there may use their own intuition to guide them. * Once you have selected your stones you must cleanse and program them ready for use. * * How to do this is explained in my previous blog here on our website. * What you will need... A tall glass or ceramic water jug. A glass that fits inside ( this is for use with toxic stones ) Clean, filtered or spring water. After the stones have been cleansed and programmed you may fill the jug with water and place the stones inside. Let it sit, covered, on a windowsill where it may see some light for at least 24 hours. After 24 hours you may transfer the water into another receptacle and do over for as many batches as you like! This is the ' direct method ' to use for non-toxic stones. For toxic stones, or raw delicate stones, we use the ' non-direct method. ' This involves placing the stones into a glass within the jug so they are NOT touching the water directly. It works just as well and is a perfect method for use when you have any doubts as to if your stone is safe or not. Generally all Quartz type stones, Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Citrine, Clear Quartz, are all safe and non toxic. Stones such as Malachite, Chrysocolla, Pyrite, Cuprite and raw minerals can be toxic and are best used with the non-direct method. If you are uncertain, best to go with the non-direct method just to be sure. Elixirs are a brilliant way to enhance your own well-being. They are also a lovely gift to make for a loved one. Remember some stones work well for skin conditions etc so an elixir can also be applied topically as well as internally! Please remember to give your thanks and respect to the stones you work with and whom you hope to receive healing from. In love & Light and sending many blessings to all of you reading. xxx
