Elixir: a magical or medicinal potion – Oxford Languages Dictionary
Elixirs can take many forms. In the case of a crystal elixir, the form is a liquid infused with the vibrational energy of a crystal, gemstone, mineral, or fossil.
This liquid brings the benefits of crystals to you in a form that can be applied, ingested, or even immersed in.
To make an effective elixir you need to determine the purpose of your elixir, gather your tools, and choose a sunny day.
Purpose drives practice
An effective potion is one created with intention. Your intention will guide your actions and selections.
The purpose of your elixir will influence your choice of crystal, fossil, gemstone, or mineral. Consider the energy of your intention. Is it to release or to invite?
Once you know that, consider the energy of your stone. Some have projective energy, while others have receptive energy. Still others are a balance of both.
Projective energy directs. It is often referred to as masculine energy. It can relate to action, release, or the future.
Some projective stones include:
Receptive energy invites. You may hear or see it referred to as feminine energy. It may relate to rest, connection, or the past.
Some receptive stones include:
The energy of some stones is a combination of both receptive and projective energies. This energy can support shifting between the two states, represent what you need in the moment, or support your state of being present in the now.
Some that are both receptive and projective include:
Purpose may also influence your choice of water. In Stone Medicine, A Chinese Medicinal Guide to Healing with Gems and Minerals, Leslie J. Franks says that your water selection is as important as your stone selection.
- Distilled water supports your intention to discharge or release.
- Spring water supports your intention to tonify or invite.
After you decide if you are inviting or releasing, you may choose to determine which energy center relates to the purpose of your elixir. You can start by considering the expression of each energy center:
- Crown: Transformation
- Brow: Understanding
- Throat: Communication
- Heart: Compassion
- Solar Plexus: Will
- Sacral: Creativity
- Base: Security
Each of your energy centers also relates to parts of your physical body. If you are interested in effecting your physical body, you may want to refer to this list:
- Crown: crown of your head, pituitary gland
- Brow: eyes, occipital, brow, pineal gland
- Throat: throat, neck, mouth, ears, sinuses, collarbone, shoulders, thyroid gland
- Heart: heart, lungs, blood, chest, breasts, upper back, hands, arms, thymus
- Solar Plexus: digestive system, midback, pancreas
- Sacral: reproductive system, urinary system, lower abdomen and back, gonads
- Base: bones and teeth, lower limbs, adrenals
Once you have clarity of purpose, you should be able to comfortably choose your water type and your stone.
The best time of day to craft your crystal elixir is during the mid to later morning hours as the energy of the sun gets stronger. Solar energy is projective, and it will project the energy of your intention and the stone into your water.
Clear intentions manifest the best results. Use a single stone for your elixir and store in a mother bottle. You can make several different elixirs at one time then combine small amounts of each elixir into a smaller bottle.
Crafting your crystal elixir
To craft your crystal elixir, first gather your tools. You will need:
- Bottles
- Jars and covers
- Crystal, Fossil, Gemstone, or Mineral of choice
- Water, spring or distilled based on your desires
Once you have chosen the stone energy that you wish to access, clean and clear your crystal.
Fill a container with water. If it will be exposed to the elements cover it with a lid or cheesecloth to keep airborne contaminants out.
Set your jar in the path of the rising sun.
You may choose to place, or hang, your stone against the side of your jar facing the sun, or use an internal container that does not allow the water to touch the stone inside. This method is known as the indirect method.
Some ways to craft a crystal elixir using the indirect method include using a test tube, floating or resting a smaller jar inside a larger jar, or using a pitcher designed to prevent ice from diluting the liquid it is cooling.
Some stones are harmful to ingest like malachite which contains copper. Other stones dissolve in water like fluorite. Using the indirect method ensures a safe elixir.
You may also choose to write your intention or craft a sigil to add to the energy of your elixir.
Allow the stone and water to rest until your elixir is ready. Use pendulum dowsing or allow your body to guide you.
Remove the stone.
Store your elixir in a dark glass bottle. It is safe in the refrigerator for up to a week or in your freezer for later use. Your unused elixir can water your plants or be released to the earth.
Using Your Crystal Elixir
Regarding usage, your purpose will again be your guide. Vibrational support can benefit your mind, body, and spirit.
Some ways to use your elixir include:
- Adding a few drops to your drinking water
- Mixing a drop or two with lotion or salve before application
- Placing a few drops in a foot or full body bath
- Applying it directly to your body as an anointment
- Misting a room or item
- Adding a few drops into a larger amount when your recipe calls for water
- Mixing drops of one elixir with drops from another to combine beneficial aspects
These are only a few of the ways that you can access the benefits of crystal elixirs.
