This Summer, Cool and Calm your mind with these Crystal-Infused Waters!

Crystal infused waters are great to be used to cool and calm your mind and body during the sweltering summer days.

The crystals release properties that help create a sense of serenity and well-being.

Here are a few DIY methods of using Crystal infused water to help you stay cool this summer!

Make your Crystal Infused Elixir-

Make an elixir by putting one or more of crystals (read to the end to know which crystals work best) in a glass container of pure water and placing it in the sunlight for several hours to energize and charge it. This elixir may then be used in several ways!

• Local Application

Soak a wash cloth or handkerchief in cooled elixir and then wrap the cloth around the back of your neck or lay it on your forehead. Or you may wrap a couple of these stones in a cool damp cloth and then apply it.

• Cooling Crystal Spritz

Make a cooling crystal spritz. Pour some elixir into a spray bottle and spritz yourself with this refreshing spray throughout the day as a sure way to beat the heat. Again the stones may be placed with the water inside the spray bottle.

• Foot Baths

Foot baths are excellent for bringing down body heat and enhancing energy in a quick, easy and relaxing way.  Just soak your tired feet in cooled elixir. Alternatively you can place stones directly in the water and allow your feet to touch the stones as they soak.

How this works:  Water, being the magical element that it is, adopts the unique vibration of the crystal. The crystal thus lends its healing properties to the water, transforming it to an elixir!

Suggested Crystals – Rose Quartz, Clear Quartz and Amethyst. Crystals come in many shapes and sizes, but tumbled crystals work best in this case!

Enjoy your Elixirs! We’d love to hear about your experience using them!

Did you know that crystals can be used to being great relief during Mercury Retrograde?

Mercury Retrograde tends to be a little intense for most people, in that it brings issues regarding Communication to the forefront, so that those issues may be dealt with and cleared.

I have found that crystals are often a great tool during these times (or during any challenging periods!). The unique property and vibration of the crystal helps raise your energetic vibration and bring great impact when used correctly and with the right intention!

Here are some crystals that focus on communication and grounding, and can assist you greatly during Mercury Retrograde:

• Blue Lace Agate

This crystal helps stay calm and peaceful during communication

• Fluorite

This crystal helps improve concentration

• Amazonite

This crystal helps to speak up with clarity and grace, and to keep harmony during communication

• Aquamarine

This crystal helps with clear communication

• Hematite and Smoky Quartz

These two crystals when used separately or together work very well to ground your energy

I hope you find these crystals helpful during this time. Hang in there, and remember to always choose love over fear, specially during Mercury Retrograde!

Love & Light,

Mercury Retrograde starts April 9th, 2017!

Over the past year, more than ever, there has been a lot said online about the phenomenon of Mercury Retrograde.

Often, there is a lot of fear energy around this.

People dread doing any work and put off starting anything new during this time.
Since Mercury rules communication, Mercury Retrograde is notorious for causing chaos in communication channels. Often technology and travel, negotiations, contractual work and documentation are disrupted, and tension in relationships manifests as a result of misunderstandings and miscommunication.

However, we can focus on clearing the fear energy around this phenomenon, and empower ourselves to choose love instead, when thinking about Mercury Retrograde.

The first thing you need to know is that the backward movement of Mercury is nothing but an illusion!

This is because the planet does not actually move backwards, it just appears so from where we stand on Earth. Knowing this is very important because it can make you realize that even if things seem to be stuck, it is not actually so, because in this universe, everything is always moving forward. Your inference that things may be stuck or not moving forward in your life is often simply a negative judgment of the situation. So before you come to any conclusions about anything, take a moment to view it from a different perspective. You might get some insights that you didn’t have before.

Since Mercury rules communication, the best thing to do during a Mercury Retrograde is to strengthen your communication with your higher self. It is a great time to go inwards, reflect and strengthen your relationship with yourself. This is also a great time to take a step back and re-think and re-evaluate anything that is beating you down. Keeping asking yourself “why?”, “So what?” etc to get some more clarity with respect to your desires and purpose.

Trust your intuition to show you the areas of life that you need to work upon (these are areas of your life that are currently stressing you out), and take some time to carefully think your decisions through. Get clear in your head about what it is that you want, and then set your intentions accordingly.

Retreat from the world, even if every so briefly, to get in touch with your inner voice!

If you view this phenomenon as a time to reconnect with yourself, and re-claim your power from external circumstances, you will realize how powerful you really are, and this will put you in a better position to make decisions out of love, and not fear.
