What are Crystal Essences?
by Catherine Wilson
Crystal, Gem or mineral essences are essences created from minerals, crystals such as amethyst and gems such as ruby or sapphire. When prepared carefully without preservatives these are usually referred to as ‘gem water’. The crystal/gem practitioner must take care to select only safe stones as some are toxic when placed in water. There are other methods for extracting the vibration from the stone without immersing it in water thus making it safe to people to take as a vibrational medicine safely. Minerals and crystals are precise and potent energy patterns. They work on the cellular level of the body and can shift emotions/actions effectively and readily. Essences made from these ingredients help to create harmony on every level.
A Crystal or Gem essence is crafted in a similar way to flower essences using water, a glass bowl and sunlight, known as the solarisation method.
“ By drinking the essence you introduce the healing vibration of the stone or gem diretly in to physical body. Turquoise is one stone that is not partial to water. Salt type crystals will dissolve in water so the essence practitioner is very careful with each stone or gem when making a special stone essence.” 1.
For example a crystal essence for stress may include: Moss agate (grounding, healing, nuturing) Aventurine, (calms central nervous system energy), Laboradite (enhances memory, soothes nerves, strengthens) or Lepidolite. Lepidolite also helps with stability, trust and peaceful sleep.
Crystals and Gems are some of the most powerful healing stones you can find. Found in nature they can assist with Emotional Balance, Energy Alignment, Spiritual Growth and Holistic Healing.
Crystal or gem essences can stabilize, harmonise and balance your energy. Animals respond well to crystals as we do.
