HOW TO CREATE A GEM ESSENCE

Did you know that you can create an essence of a gem, a mountain, a place, a pyramid, or even of your own light? Crystals and stones carry information from the earth in the same way flowers do.

If there’s a significant gemstone you’ve been working with lately, consider using a gem essence to connect even more closely with it’s medicine.

To create a gem essence, follow the steps below. Then, take the essence from 1-3 times per day, as desired and listen to what medicine comes through. Steep in the wisdom of the Earth.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

One medium sized glass or crystal bowl
One large, clean, dark glass bottle
One or more one-ounce amber or cobalt dropper bottle(s)
Pure spring water
High-quality brandy (apple cider vinegar or glycerin are alcohol substitutes)
Labels and a pen

INSTRUCTIONS

• On a clear day before a full moon with no clouds in the sky, place a non-soluble crystal that you have allied with or feel connected and understand to in a clear crystal bowl and cover with spring water.

• Let the crystal infuse in sun and moonlight for 24 hours.

• Then, remove the crystal from the water and you now have the Mother Essence.

• Fill a large, dark glass bottle with half Mother Essence, half brandy. Set the other half of the Mother Essence aside for you to bathe in to receive the teachings more clearly of how this essence wants to work.

• Be sure to label the jar with what it is, how it was made, and consider adding the moon phase and planetary alignments.

• To prepare for consumption, put a significant number (between 1 and 10) of drops into a small dropper bottle and fill the rest of the bottle with half spring water, half brandy.

• With using brandy, the essence will be able to maintain its energy for up to ten years so bottle up and share with others if that feels right!

• Take a drop of the essence on your tongue and enjoy your bath in the remaining Mother Essence and nothing else.

• After at least a twenty minute soak, write down the teachings of this essence. Get creative! Enjoy the medicine you’ve created.
