Double Dates | Matches Made Over Crystals

One of the first things many people think when I introduce myself as the Crystal Matchmaker is that I somehow match partners up with each other via the use of crystals in some strange mythical probably highly esoteric way.

It’s simply not true though.

I wish I had a crystal ball to gaze into (preferably rose quartz or kunzite) that could tell me that sort of thing. That’d be a really fun and fulfilling job! Could you imagine!? I would use it in my own love life, of course, and maybe possibly solve the problem of finding love for people.

But I digress!

The Crystal Matchmaker truly became a Crystal Matchmaker without the magic crystal ball the other night.

An old acquaintance of mine contacted me about coming to view the crystal collection before I leave town. I said sure, and we set up a time. She came by with her partner and we talked crystals for a bit with tea in hand.

There was a knock on the door and another acquaintance had arrived to pick up some items. I thought perhaps to invite him in but wasn’t sure. Suddenly the other man was at the door hugging this man, and it turns out all three of them were old friends!

In he came for some tea, and we continued to talk crystals, but by the end of the night it had been decided: These old friends would be reconnecting with a double date. By the time they reached the door they were already setting dates!

It was definitely amazing. I didn’t realize the Crystal Matchmaker had come true until I told a friend what happened and she said, “See, you are connecting people through the crystals!”

It was simply good timing I think!

Crystals for Opiate Addictions

I am not a doctor yet I often have clients come with medical questions. Before you read this article here is my disclaimer: I am not a doctor and do not have medical training and therefore cannot give medical advice.

I have found five minerals that may be beneficial for those working with Opiate addictions. Each one works in a little bit of a different way and I imagine that as a person heals themselves from this addiction they will go through different phases that will require a different mineral to help them if they so choose.

1) Iolite – This stone came up over and over again in my research on addictions. Iolite helps open up your vision and see the cause of your addiction and release it. It can help you see where you want to go and how to get there. It helps in all parts of releasing addiction from finding the self-knowledge, to releasing it, to rebuilding life after the addiction is gone. It helps you to express who you really are and to release the expectations of others.

Iolite is one of my personal favourite stones. It has helped me with empowerment, with taking care of myself in ways that ensure I don’t reach out for escapism and helped me focus on what is healthy for me.

2) Amethyst – Amethyst seems to be one of the most versatile minerals one the planet right now because of its ability to transmute. It is infamous for this ability and comes up continuously in my research again. It will take pain and negative energy and transmute it into love. When healing with addictions I recommend that this mineral be cleared often, even weekly. I have used this mineral to help transmute cravings as well.

To transmute cravings hold the mineral and in time with your breath breathe in the energy of amethyst. On your out breath see the craving or pain entering the amethyst you are holding. Continue breathing this circuit of energy until the craving or pain shifts. It will shift. Or you will receive clear guidance on what would be most beneficial for you to do. Strongly recommend that after you do this meditation you clear the crystal asap.

I also feel what wearing this crystal with citrine is very helpful. Citrine is one of the few minerals that automatically clears energies so wearing a citrine with amethyst touching means you never have to work about consciously clearing the amethyst.

3) Fluorite – This stone is infamous for its dealings with the mind. It helps clear away all the fog and lies that you might tell yourself. It allows you to see reality for what what it really is. It helps you to work through the different layers of the mind and come to a solid understanding of self and how you work. It can help you make decisions that will better your life, organize it, and implement your creativity in a way that works.

4) Labradorite – What a potent and fascinating stone. Labradorite is heavy. Heavy in the sense that it is grounding while allowing us to work with our own shadow aspects in an easy and gentle manner. It is an important part of the healing process to take a look at the depth and the roots of whatever is going on for you, especially in addictions, and see them clearly. Labradorite will attract synchronicities into your life as well.

One of the reasons labradorite is so potent for doing shadow work is because it has a very strong protective field that enhances your own protective field from the inside out. It actually creates a safe space for you to look at that internal structure, your own duality, your own reckless or self-sabotaging behaviors.

5) Pink Kunzite – One of my all time favourite stones! Pink Kunzite is a powerful heart activator and is considered one of the most needed Ascension stones on the planet right now by some. It helps you harness your own power and come into your heart. It will help to alleviate stress and anxiety and is ideal for PTSD. It can help you release the need to control things and relax into the fact that you cannot control everything. It will help you release emotional blocks and traumas. It aids in positive thinking, the release of depression, and harmonization of your energies.

What are your experiences with these minerals? Have you worked with any of them in your own healing with addictions?

When Your Angry Grab These Crystals!

Crystals to Help You Work with Anger

Anger is a complicated emotion in my experience. For a long time I really feared it, and I still do fear anger in others. My first desire when I experience anger in myself or others is to run for the hills until the storm passes. But that is not the best way to deal with anger. It must be experienced and respected for what it is. It is like any other emotion that comes and goes but for some reason is less accepted than other strong emotions humans experience in our day to day lives – happiness, sadness, depression, judgement.

This leaves many of us in an odd position of having anger and not knowing how to experience, release or express it in a healthy and positive way. Instead, many of us will bottle down the anger to explode at a later date. Or we will hide it carefully, deeply within us, carefully placing layers and layers on top of the feelings. Then there are those that let the anger flow right through them terrifying the rest of us!

Working with Fire

I have used one of the most fiery stones to help me understand and experience anger in a positive way: Carnelian. Carnelian is a deep, passionate, strong stone that will bring your anger to the forefront so that you can experience it. It moves your anger so you can see it and know yourself at a deeper level. Carnelian and I worked together closely for my journey of releasing and learning about the anger I experience in my life. It gave me a courage I didn’t feel that I had, and soothed my fears around experiencing this emotion. It let me go deep and know that I wasn’t going to get lost in it.

Overwhelming Feelings

I remember when I was working through the deeply bottled anger I had collected throughout my life. I suddenly was experiencing bursts that would go through my whole body. My adrenaline would be activated, heat waves and tremors would shake my body, I could get so lost in how it felt that I could not speak it was such an overwhelming experience for me. And it often would come out of nowhere at the most random of times. Once I got used to it – I felt like a fireball for a few months becoming randomly angry at the smallest things – I learned how to experience anger with wisdom.

By this I mean I learned how to utilize it for what anger is good for – standing up for yourself. Making sure you and another person know when something has gone too far. Giving you strength and courage to stand up for what is right for not just yourself but others. I knew I had learned this when I got into a fight with an ex boyfriend of mine. We were having an argument on the phone when he said something that just made me furious. Beyond furious. I didn’t say a word. I hung up on him and hopped on my bike. He lived a ten minute bike ride away and I arrived still boiling. He had tried calling several times and I ignored all of them.

Transmuting the Anger

Sugilite and Amethyst were other major minerals I used to help me in my process. Both of these crystals are noted as transmuters. What’s interesting is that Amethyst is resonant to and carries the Violet Flame of St. Germain. This is a major purifier of old and new energies that no longer serve us. It releases patterns we no longer need to keep replaying. Amethyst will help us find new ways of experiencing things and help establish new patterns within our life.

Sugilite is noted as a mineral that works directly with transmuting rage and anger. It is also noted, and I used it for this aspect, to work with the inner child. It gives an ease of access to the inner child and there were often times when my journey working specifically with anger that I would feel my inner child, and witness my inner child either screaming with rage or running away as fast as she could. My work with this mineral allowed me to tap into this aspect of self and even have conversations with her. It helped me to find healthy ways to shift my anger into something beautiful like artwork or writing.

Powerfully Using Anger

I very intentionally went up the stairs to his door, and knocked. He opened the door and didn’t know what to do. I stepped in, looked at him straight in the eyes, and said in a very low voice trembling with the anger I felt towards him, “If you ever say anything like that again to me, you will never see me again. You will never be allowed to speak with me. You will never know that I was in your life.”. Instead of running away from anger – both mine and his – I had gone directly into it. I had faced and experienced both mine and his.

Eliminating Anger

Howlite is an amazing mineral that works to eliminate anger and rate. How does it do this? In my experience it is a purifier which is a little bit different than a transmuter. When you are wearing Howlite it is automatically “taking” it away from you very much like an air purifier. Howlite helps you to act in alignment with your highest self no matter what is going on around or inside of you. It able to help you keep clear sight and keep your centre and base your decisions on what is best for all involved.

Graduation

Ever since then I’ve been able to experience my anger and the anger of others with less fear. I still go on my tip-toes but I can stand it. Sometimes I feel like I am a wooden post withstanding the torrents of the ocean and rain. And it feels like a good thing.

In my experience of my own anger, a lot of it had to do with traumas I’ve experienced in life and with self-forgiveness. Along with carnelian, rose quartz was a constant companion. In fact I slept with a large rose quartz ball for almost two years! Rose quartz was very important to my journey because it is a crystal that helps to forgive oneself and others. It opens up the door to fall in love with yourself. It helps you come into your own love for life. And to release anything that gets in the way because you don’t need it!

Anger will tie up and block the heart chakra. Rose quartz will unknot it and take down the walls slowly and gently. You don’t need it. All we need is love.

Meditation Suggestions

Meditate with Carnelian, Howlite or Blue Kyanite. Blue Kyanite is often used to clear blockages inside the energetic system and can be used on any chakras though it is mostly resonant with the throat and heart in my experience. You can meditate with each stone individually by just holding it in your left hand if you wish, or you can meditate with all three stones. I am wary of all three stones because it feels like a very potent and powerful combination – the only “cooling” stone in the mix is Howlite. To meditate with all three place the stones in a grid around you or on you in key spots – put one mineral on your heart and hold the other two, etc.

To meditate with Sugilite and the only child I suggest you find somewhere comfortable. Tune into the crystal by focusing on how it feels wherever your holding it. Does it pulsate? Is it cold? Does it buzz? Then ask the mineral to help you speak with your inner child. Imagine yourself taking 21 steps towards your inner child. When you arrive on the 21st step imagine her/him waiting for you. Take note of the surroundings your inner child has put him/her in and approach him/her. At this point you can have a conversation with your inner child and when you wish to leave you can take the 21 steps “out” and come back to your body.

If you do a laying of hands crystal session on yourself or another you may wish to place blue kyanite on the heart/solar plexus, rose quartz on the heart, Larimar on the throat, moss agate on your root. Moss agate and Larimar are calming agents. They slowly clean and clear and connect you deeply to nature. They help to gently heal traumas and hurting hearts.

The Dating Dance | The Energetic Side of a Date | Energetic Cords

This is inspired by a post on one of the blogs that I follow who posted this here.

In this post I’d like to talk about a couple of things.

First I go over cords because this is all done through the cords. From my understanding, at the beginning of a relationship, most of the dating dance is done in the subtle realms. The physical realms help a lot, of course, however, the energy is potent and can make or break a relationship in my opinion.

The second part is an example of how the dance works. This post is written from a heterosexual point of view, but can be applied to any mixture of gender and couples. It’s all energies, frequencies, and connections.

Next week’s post will be about managing these energetic cords in healthy ways.

It seems to me that there is an energetic sensitivity that occurs between two people dancing the date dance. Every so often I’ve seen it in my head:

Myself and the man are walkie talkies set to our own frequency. Then we go out on a date together which shows us if our frequencies can match each other, if we can talk a similar language, if we can hear each other. Its a dance that comes to an end it seems when we part ways. But then, our frequencies have become attuned to each other. After that point, whether we know it or not, our subconscious and conscious ways of being will effect the result of that date.

A Brief Lesson On Cords

Even though we are not in each others physical company we still have an energetic cord that has been created. This cord runs from me to him and him to me. It keeps us in tune with each other. And its often subconscious. This is why people say that if you think of someone often they are probably thinking about you. Or why your intuition can tell you more about a person in silence than when your with them.

Because of the cord that has been created you can tune into that person and feel what they are feeling. You get the inside scoop on what is going on for them. Which is probably why women always know when a man is cheating – its whether or not they want to admit it. We can feel where they are putting their time and energy. We are built for it.

But don’t worry men, you can tune into women as well we can tune into you. I’ve dated men who will take the time to tune into me, and I have to admit to you, its a huge selling point for me in a man.

Both parties in a relationship have the same access to the cord that connects you two.

Lets be clear about one thing about these cords: These cords run between you and other people ALL THE TIME.

The deeper and more intimate the relationship the stronger/bigger the cords is. The less depth to the relationship the less the cord is there. Cords are created between you and your family members, friends, work mates, team mates, the barista you received coffee from today, the beggar on the street… Absolutely everyone!

Cords are part of a natural process of life that allows us to develop deeper connections with those we desire to and to stay tuned into those people. The people that after several months of not talking to we want to call up and say “Hey” or the people that pop into our heads. “I needed to call George because I felt like something was wrong. It turns out that he had a terrible fall the other day and just got out of the hospital.”

Healthy cords allow us to feel connected and supported within the web of people that we know. We are in a constant state of giving and taking energetically. The cords allow the energy we need to come to us and the energy others need to be gifted to them in this constant flux.

Unhealthy cords create unhealthy tendencies in relationships. Some examples of these behaviours are the following:

an unhealthy obsession will occur
one person inside the relationship will be constantly fatigued (or if a person has several cords connecting in unhealthy ways then that person might be constantly tired)
a codependent relationship may occur
or a person will be almost addicted to another person.

It is because of the cord that is developed on a date that a sensitivity to another person is developed. The person at the other end of the cord can literally feel what you are putting out there. Are you putting out a desperate vibe? Are you putting out a i-liked-him-had-a-great-night-will-trust-that-he-calls-me-goes-about-my-day-vibe?

Whichever vibe you are feeding is what he will feel through the cord that connects the both of you.

And he will match his response to that vibe.

Just as you will match your response to his vibe.

In my experience, this is how unhealthy people enter into a relationship with other unhealthy people while healthy people attract healthy people.

If the frequency you put off when you are away from that person matches their blueprint (the way that perceive and function in relationships) that person will generally pursue the relationship.

An Example

I go on a date with a man and we match well. I feel really connected to him, and I feel the night has gone amazing. We may have even shared a kiss! When he drops me off, he says, “I’ll call you tomorrow.” I say, “Please do.” with a grin, and leave on a high.

If I am in an unhealthy state of mind I might be obsessively checking my phone, allowing whether or not he calls me to affect my mood. I may obsess for a few days before taking action and doing something about it. Perhaps I have been thinking about him non-stop. I may not be focused on what I am doing because I am so focused on him. Maybe even stop doing what I need to do because this has affected me so much.

The man feels this when he thinks about me. That’s all he has to do in order to tune into my energy. The more aware he is the more conscious information he will receive, however, he will still receive information in the subtle realms and respond appropriately for his blueprint.

If he is operating a healthy state of mind most likely in that extreme scenario he would not be interested in pursuing the relationship further. If he is in an unhealthy state of mind he would probably pursue the relationship as long as he felt that it could match the blueprint he holds for his relationships.

If I am in a healthy state of mind the next day then I would find myself not obsessing, but curious and open. I would be doing what I need to do with the glow of the possibility of new love. I would have patience to let it grow as it will grow and to nurture it into something.

There is a lack of attachment that the unhealthy state of mind often has – an attachment to fulfilling oneself in some way instead of allowing the relationship to be the cherry on to of an already fulfilling life.

A man operating from an unhealthy state of mind might pursue me but find himself quickly rejected due to the blueprint of what I perceive a healthy relationship. A man operating from a healthy state of mind might pursue me and we might find that even if the relationship doesn’t continue as lovers that we can be in relationship to each other in healthy ways.

That, to me, is the energetic dance of dating.

It’s something to think about and be aware of, but not something obsess over. It’s something to witness inside of yourself and consciously make choices about what kind of frequency you put out to increase the probability of what you desire coming true.

Think beyond just relationships with lovers. This is a micro view of a macro. This is a pattern that holds true for all areas of life. The frequency you put out will attract that in the subtle realms.

And its all learning.

Stay tuned for next weeks post on healthy ways to manage your cords.

Crystal Forecast: April 6th – April 12th

Morganite, Equality in Love

Such an interesting pink card this is. Morganite is a form of Beryl that is quite a soft pink, almost translucent. It is drawing our attention from the self-care of the bottom three chakras, the very physical realms, to the heart. There in-lies the next step of nurturing: Self-love.

Part of the self-love is the balance between the masculine and the feminine aspects of self, and realizing your polarities. Where are you most comfortable on the polarity scale for yourself? Are you most comfortable being seventy-five percent masculine? Or ten percent feminine? Where is your natural and comfortable tendency to naturally BE?

Notice how you move in and out of these polarities. Notice who draws what side of you out. Notice how different activities draw different sides out. Where are the wounds? Where is the grace? Where is your love? Is there an aspect of love missing to either side in any scenario?

All of you deserves to be loved by you. Every single aspect. The good, the bad, the ugly. All of it. Every breath, every footstep, every pimple and mole, every heartbeat, every hair. You will find from self-love grows respect, worthiness, and joy.

When You Need to Forget the Future

Being intuitive comes with its own unique set of challenges. For example, in a world of probabilities, I often have to forget the future. It sounds silly doesn’t it?

While most of us are planning the for the future and figuring out what we would like to do here I am learning to forget it. Not all of it. Just an aspect of it.

There seems to be a fine balance of planning the future, expecting what’s to come, and releasing it to let what happens happens. It seems to be that balance I’ve been learning about this past year.

When I first moved back to Vancouver I was delightfully surprised to hear from a mentor of mine in a quick reading that I will be meeting my Life Partner in Crime during my time in Vancouver. As I tuned into it I felt in Spring it would be likely to occur this meeting. Then I checked in with a psychic friend of mine, and he confirmed Spring.

Well, its turned into Spring and almost all I can think about is the meeting of this partner. I’m excited! As “spiritual” as I am, I am also human. And I share the desire to connect as much as the next person. So it’s Spring and every day I wake up wondering if today is the day!

I’m making sure I don’t change the probability line too much, ensuring that I am choosing the correct probabilities to make this come true, and all the while hearing my Guides whisper: “Just forget about it. Let it go. Let it go.”

A friend says, “You can’t control it.”

The same psychic friend I’ve started to check in with monthly says, “You choosing to travel this summer might have screwed up the timelines. I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t meet him now until after your travels.”

I know! I know! I have to forget the future!

If I can forget the future than the future has the freedom to become truth.

Do you know how hard that is? The human brain holds onto the certainty of the future pretending it has figured it out, pretending nothing can shake it, pretending clarity, pretending it knows the truth. In reality, it knows as little as I know, which is very little, especially about my own future.

And so with a big, deep breath, I release the future. I forget that I have a possible meeting with my Life Partner in Crime. When I think about it I will redirect my thoughts. I will not feed it. I will simply let it go into the depths of the forgotten.

This is part of the reason why I feel I don’t receive messages containing my future for the small things – just the big things. Grand visions to come or deep knowings that come true once I’ve released them to the ethers. The visions always come true when I’ve released them.

Oh sigh. The practice of non-attachment as taught by my Soul.

Crystal Forecast March 9 – March 15

Petrified Wood, Past Life Embrace

I feel loose ends will be tied up for many of us this week. It feels like there are many completions through the world and on the planet of karmic cycles. Bring with you to these completions the knowledge that whatever has been completed can be continued freeing to the Beings involved to truly be as they are without any of the oddness that often comes with the karma between Beings. I see many lines lifted from the grids, many of them dissolved into the Crystalline Unconditional Love that Is.

I see many triangles forming the grids of Love, Peace and Harmony coming forward onto the Earth, and shifting the energies almost imperceptibly at this time. Feeling, think, and be Love as best you can. We are constantly climbing the Ladder of Consciousness. It is by focusing on the Godhead within that we find we move through this ladder easily and effortlessly. Remember always to say your prayers to yourselves and the Beings that are you working with you and through you.

We are all one.

I feel an openness occurring after the karmic cycles complete and another space is created but not to be filled. It is created to just be. Many of us will take on, if we have not already, more of a practice of Being and Surrendering. We have new visions and realigned with the heart space from last week, setting into motion many positive things inside our lives, and now we practice Being.

This does not mean stop moving or breathing or going. This means Be Here where you are, not in the past or the future, but in the Now. As best you can, return to the now as often as you can.

Five Amazing Heart Chakra Crystals

V-day is tomorrow and this is the month of love in our Western Culture. While there is a lot of people complaining about the monetization and corporate greed, at least on my Facebook and in my friend groups, I’m actually grateful that this day has become so big.

In our Western Society we need a reminder to love sometimes. We need reminders to open our hearts bigger. We need the reminder that it is okay to love, fully, without hesitation. We need that push sometimes to really do what our heart desires, to really make known what we want.

While I don’t agree with having to spend lots of money or buying into the consumer holiday aspect of this month of love, I do appreciate those reminders. I do appreciate the mass celebration of love that happens like no other time in our culture.

Personally I feel that everyday is a day of love. Everyday is a day to learn to love better both ourselves and others. There’s a quote that I used to have on my wall, I’m pretty sure it was by Rumi, however I wasn’t able to find the full quote for you. It talks about how each moment we live we have a choice: Love or Fear. It’s up to use from which energy we respond to each moment.

That’s what I feel the mineral kingdom is constantly doing: constantly reminding us to act from love. Constantly reconnecting us to the Divine Unconditional Love within us. Constantly reminding us to open our hearts, receive our Divine Birthright of Abundance, Love and Joy.

That being said, here are my Top Five Heart Chakra Crystals!

1. Rose Quartz

This is the go-to mineral for the heart chakra because of its work with self love. I’ve spoken about it in this previous post, so I’m going to keep the words about this mineral short. Rose quartz opens up our hearts to self-love and helps us learn its okay to take care of ourselves. If we are single this Valentine’s Day why not cuddle up with your rose quartz and ask, What actions can I take today that would be from Self-Love?

It may suggest a bath with some essential oils, or going out for a delectable meal. Perhaps it will be to take yourself out on a date, or maybe it will be to allow yourself to turn off your phone for the night so you can really just be with yourself. Who knows?

2. Moonstone

Oh lovers, lovers, lovers! This is the mineral for you on this day of love! Moonstone has many legends about it being used to attract lovers and to incite the act of making love. Known as the “lovers stone”, it has been known to reconcile lovers, and to also cause lovers to fall in love. It is the mineral of intuition, femininity, and the moon. It draws forth intuitive flashes and positive emotional feelings rather than working with the logics of the mind. Read more here.

hiddenite

3. Hiddenite or Green Spodumene

This crystal is one of my favorites to work with on the heart chakra center! It opens the heart softly and gently to heal our relationships with others from the heart. It brings feelings of joy, gratitude, and peace uplifting your moods. It allows you to move on from situations that have hurt your heart, and for forgiveness to occur.

It is especially amazing for break-ups. There is folklore that states if two lovers break up, and one lover gifts both of them a piece of hiddenite the pieces will work together to heal the wounds between each other, allowing forgiveness to occur. It doesn’t mean necessarily that they will get back together, but it does give them the opportunity to be friends or at least able to be in the same room with each other!

It is also used in fights to calm the space and to allow people to interact more from the heart center. I’ve had visions working with my piece of being in fights with family but holding the piece in my hand, allowing the vibrations to waft over all beings present to bring the fight more heart centered and expressive than ego-centered.

4. Ruby

Ruby is considered by many to be one of the most powerful minerals in the world. When I tune into it I get sense of power with a very old ancient energy with it. The energy doesn’t feel irrelevant to today’s world, but feels like we need to use it in new ways. It feels like this mineral was once used by many royals and conquerers for its energies of bringing wealth and sexuality to their lives.

In today’s world, I feel it is asking us to now use it to anchor into our bodies and selves the abundance consciousness of the planet. It asking us to use and amass wealth and prosperity in heart centered ways. It brings with it a whirlwind of healing our sexuality as well.

On top of all the metaphysical stuff, it also heals the heart and the liver physically. It is known to cleanse and clear the blood, and aid in circulation. If you want to gift yourself or someone you know with a love mineral, I would say this is it.

P.S. I feel that ruby will become more well known and used on our planet in the coming years due to its ability to work with the Ruby Ray/Ruby Red Ray. Ruby projects and connects to a very particular frequency that reconnects us to our inherent wealth and nobility.

5. Pink Andara

Okay, okay, I have fallen in love with Andaras. And mine is pink. I’ve gone through a period of a few weeks meditating with my piece on my heart chakra, and wow. I’m amazed at how much it moves and shifts my armour around my heart center. I could literally feel it grabbing the armour and dissolving it, leaving my heart center much more open.

This is a mineral that will connect you directly to your heart center dissolving all blockages to allow Divine Unconditional Love to flow right through you easily and gracefully. It will connect you Quan Yin, the Female Buddha, who is also known as the Goddess of Compassion. Your life unfolds with more ease and grace as this process occurs, bringing more opportunities and flow.

Using all of these minerals as your intuition guides you will help you with several things: You will learn to fall in love wit yourself, you will learn to let love flow and that love is the true power is this World, that all things benefit and grow from Unconditional Love but love from the ego destroys. It will become obvious to you what your heart is guiding you to do, and it will lower the amour around your heart which allows you to be more authentically you.

These stones will teach you how to truly love.

And also balance.

You will learn that the greatest act of self-love is to take care of yourself first.

How To Make Everyday GemStone Elixirs

It’s super, super easy. Anyone can do it. Let me tell you how! With pictures!

There are two types of elixirs that I make. The first elixir is the one that I make in my every day life for drinking, which this article will be focused on. Most of the time my water is infused with some type of mineral when I’m not travelling (and whenever possible when travelling). The second are the type that I make for Willow’s Lavender.

The every day elixirs that I drink are made for quick consumption and are less time consuming to make. They usually have just one or two minerals in them due to fast turnover. I don’t keep extra’s of any of the elixir around because if I want rose quartz water instead of amethyst water I’ll simply make it that day, whereas the elixirs in the store a combination of gemstones to maximize the potency of the mineral kingdom for a specific usage created in ceremony. The process is detailed here.

Before we start lets talk about why on Mother Earth would you want to infuse your water with gemstones? I’ll give you three reasons:

1. Every time you drink water you could be sipping magickal crystal frequencies that heal your body effortlessly, with no thought on your part!

2. It’s a simple, easy, effective way to help attain or maintain the level of consciousness you desire.

3. You bless your water, and when you bless your water you change what the water holds. This means that the unwanted chemicals that don’t serve your body are filtered out, and you are drinking “clean” water.

Let’s get you started on making your own everyday gemstone elixirs!

Step One: The first thing to do is research. Ask yourself, what do you want the elixir to do? What qualities do you want to draw into your life? What do you want to become more of? What do you want to release/heal?

Then check out the crystals and minerals that will help you with that.

I usually use a combination of resources when I do my research. They are good ol’google, The Book of Stones: Who They Are & What They Teach and Love Is in the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals. Sometimes I’ll use the Liquid Crystal Oracle cards too. After a while you’ll get to know the minerals better and will begin to trust when you intuitively pick out the crystals. Often I’ll just ask my minerals “Who would serve me best in my water?” and go from there.

At this point in the journey its important to double check two things: Does the mineral you’ve chosen dissolve in water? Is the mineral you’ve chosen poisonous?

This is the list that I use.

If you find that your crystals is either water dissoluble or poisonous you can still use it, don’t worry, there’s just a couple extra steps involved because you have to use the double jar method instead of just one jar. The double jar method requires a small jar with a lid that easily fits inside the large jar you are using.

I’m a bit picky so I use glass only when making gemstone elixirs. I never touch the water with metals (caps excluded – I haven’t been able to find glass lids yet) or plastics (the worst!). The water will absorb materials from whatever you put it in and glass tends to be the cleanest so I use glass as much as possible.

You may want to make sure you are in a quiet space to better focus until you are well practised. This part of the process takes a maximum of ten minutes.

You are ready to begin when you’ve assembled the following:

One mason jar (or two if you are doing the double jar method as detailed above)
Your chosen mineral(s)
Water (preferably distilled, however, I often use tap/filtered water – do the best with what you have.)

Step Two: Fill the large jar with water and bless it.

If you are doing the double jar method make sure there is enough room for the small jar to fit without overflowing the large jar.

After the water is inside the jar take a moment to pray over it and to it. Thank it for the wonderful blessings it gives our bodies, thank it for healing our bodies, thank it for flushing toxins out of our body. Thank it for the love it gives us, for the nourishment it provides it. Tell it how wonderful it is and how grateful you are to drink it.

Imagine you are sending love to the water. I will typically stand with my feet firmly planted on the ground, head bowed, both my palms on either side of the jar. I spend a few minutes just pouring out love and gratitude for the water. Then I ask it to bless my body and all who drink this water. I ask for it to accept the mineral I’m about to put in for healing, love and light. I will often visualize matching scenes or symbols as I pray over the water like the Violet Flame or Cho Ko Rei.

This changes the entire structure of the water.

Step Three: Activate & program your mineral.

Then take the mineral, or one mineral at a time if you are using more than one, and place it in the palm of your hands. Either roll it between your palms or simply hold it if its fragile. And begin to program your mineral.

1. Connect to the mineral.
2. Ask the mineral to work with your intention, bringing the qualities you want to the water, infusing the water with with its Divine Unconditional love and healing.
3. Thank the mineral.

Step Four: Place the mineral(s) in the water in the large jar.

If you are using the double jar method place the mineral(s) inside the small jar with the lid on tightly and put the small jar in the big jar.

Step Five: Pray over the water again (optional).

At this point I place both my hands on either side and do a quick prayer asking that the water be infused with properities of this mineral, and state my intention. I say thank you, and relax.

Step Six: You have gemstone infused water!

Enjoy it! Make a refill any time you want!

Experiment too! I’ve had some crazy experiences with certain minerals, but sometimes that’s the best way to learn. I will say that its definitely a lot of fun with the mineral kingdom.

P.S.

If you decide to make an elixir with moldavite, unless you are the 10% of the population that feels grounded with moldavite, please, please, please use a more grounding stone, too, like amethyst and black obsidian. A pure moldavite elixir should pop up with a “Do not drive after drinking or operate heavy machinery or use sharp objects.”
