1. Cleanse your crystals, and the area you wish to work in. Do this in whichever way suits you(bells, singing bowls and sage are favourites of mine). Do NOT skip this step. 2. Light a white candle, and burn your favourite incense or oils. Relaxing music can add to the experience, although steer clear of anything with lyrics as this can distract the mind(rainwater, birdsong, Tibetan singing bowls, all work well). 3. Arrange the quartz crystals in a diamond, as seen in the second image. 4. Being aware of the sounds and smells around you, lie down comfortably on your back inside the quartz diamond as shown, placing the hematite on your feet as you do so. 5. Place your seven crystals on the corresponding chakras, mindfully. Think of the healthy attributes of each chakra each time you feel the stone make contact with your body. Begin with the root chakra and, continue up, to the sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and the crown. 6. Then place a quartz crystal just above your crown chakra, and keep the remaining two in your upward facing palms. 7. Visualise each chakra being cleansed and healed, beginning from the root, and finishing at the crown. 8. Now…. Relax and let the crystals work their magic! 9. When you’re ready, remove the quartz crystals from your palms, followed by the one on your forehead. Then remove the crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral, and root stones. Lastly, sit up, and take the hematite from your feet.
I’ve come down with the flu and this is what I’m drinking to help keep the symptoms at bay:
Add a tablespoon of honey to hot water, stir to dissolve (soothes sore throats).
Add 1/3 of a lemon’s juice, stir to combine (high in vitamins, boosts immune systems).
Take a small sprig of thyme and let it steep in the mug (known for ability to fight colds and flus).
You can witchy it up like I did by thanking the ingredients, asking a deity for their blessing or imbuing the brew with healing, strengthening intentions.
I recommend drinking hot and inhaling the steam to clear your airways. Stay healthy this change of seasons, lovelies!
