Gemstone Water

I've been studying colour therapy and crystal therapy for quite some time and I was always curious about using gemstones to infuse in your water. Since September I've been experimenting with different gemstones to infuse my water. I've been using a water bottle to carry a small to medium size stone.

I leave it for about 20 mins to infuse. If I infuse larger stone in the water I will only drink 2 oz of it each day for a period of the time.

I have used many different types of smooth crystals.
I started with citrine for 2 months. This stones helps the solar plexus chakra the Ego ( demon:Shame )
This helps balance the metabolism, digestion and energy levels.
In my past I have experienced with anxiety or feelings of nervousness in my abdomen. The 3rd Chakra is a great chakra to start working on to help balance the body.

Other stones I have tried is : amethyst and quartz are great to try as well.

I am currently working on bath/body oil that are being stimulate by gemstones and well as Epson salts ( on top of the container) blended with essential oils. As x-mas presents :D looking forward to hearing how people enjoy them.

You may need to kick, prod and insult them just to get them off the couch. They require spiciness in their food, environment, and relationships to motivate and stimulate their interests. Since they lack motivation, they are motivated by fear and bribery.

Chakra Rainbow Mediation

Sit in a comfortable position hands on your thighs

Close your eyes

Focus on you breath completely. Feel each breath come in through your nose down into your lungs filling them completely allow your belly to expanding out.

As you exhale feel you lungs empty and your navel move towards your spine feel the air as it goes up and out through your nostrils.

Bring your attention to your feet they’re firmly pressed against the earth beneath you. You can feel the earth’s energy pulsing under your feet.

You accept the earth healing, loving energy as the pulse goes up into your legs. Knowing that mother earth accepts you as you are.

Now bring your awareness to the base of your spine feel the spinning red wheel of energy in your perineum the area between your genitals and your anus. This is your first chakra. Feel the rich red color ground you.

Move your awareness up to your sacral area; 2 fingers width below your navel. See the color orange warm this area of the body. This is center of emotions, sensations, pleasure and movement.

If thoughts come in and out of your mind put them aside. Bring your focus back to the area of the body.

Move your attention up now to your solar plexus above the navel and under the ribcage. Picture a bright yellow sun in this area. This is your power area, your metabolism, your body’s energy. You might experience warmth in this area.

Moving up now to the heart chakra. Feel the love and peace as you imagine a beautiful green leaf tree. What kind of tree is it? What color are the leaves? Release the tightness in this area; allow it to leave your body. Fell the lightness. Allow yourself to be at peace.

Bring your awareness to the throat chakra does it feel tight? Is it hot? Is it scratchy? Have you been suppressing toughs? Is it sore have you been speaking too much? Imagine a beautiful light blue color like the sky on a sunny day. Let the tension in your throat melt away.

Come back to your breath

Focus your attention now to your third eye in between your eyebrows. This is your minds eye. This area is all seeing and knowing. Imagine a deep indigo color. Do you also see flashes of other colors? Let the tension in your head melt away.

Moving up now to the crown chakra. Located at the top of the head. The color violet and white mist surrounds this area. Feel the loving energy enter your body from this area.

Come back to your breath. Feel the air enter and exit your body. Thank your body for the information you’ve received today and it’s infinite wisdom and healing power.

When you feel ready open your eyes.

You can do this exercise at home. As an alternative you can spend time with one or more chakra during a meditation session.
