Stones & Crystals Used in Water

Water is a useful tool for working with crystals and stones. Water can be used to clear and charge crystals for healing work. Special tinctures and waters can be prepared with crystals for healing uses. These specially prepared "crystal waters" can be used topically or consumed internally. Environmental waters, such as rain, streams and the ocean can be used to cleanse or powerfully charge your crystal and stone healing tools.

Clearing and Charging Crystals with Water

• Crystals can be cleared of lingering energies by placing the tip of the crystal or stone in the flow of running water. Running tap water or naturally running water, such as water found in small streams, both work well for clearing crystals. Leave crystals and stones out in the rain to charge them with natural, environmental energy; electrical storms have even more ambient energy to charge a crystal. Snowfall is also a form of moving water, thus leaving a crystal out in falling snow will also charge it with natural energy.

Preparing Vats of Crystal Water

• Add crystals or stones to a large jug of distilled, spring, or filtered water to charge it with energies. A crystal or combination of crystals and stones can be left in a jug of water overnight or for several days. Place a transparent jug of water in direct sunlight with the crystals inside to powerfully charge the water in just a few hours. If you are experienced at working with subtle energies, you can sit in a meditative position with a water jug in your lap. By focusing your mind and meditating on the stones or crystals , you can charge the "crystal water" with whatever specific energies your mind directs.

Uses For Crystal Water

• Crystal water can be used in a variety of healing modalities. It can be applied to the body directly with a cloth or sponge to balance, enhance or remove certain energies. It can be applied directly to injuries on the skin or within the body to speed up healing. It can be used to cleanse hands of actual dirt and bacteria, as well as negative energies that stick to the hands from our daily interactions in life. Crystal water can be added to plain water with a dropper to create healing tonics, or new vats of crystal water. In cases that require intense energy, crystal water can be consumed undiluted. Crystal water can also be consumed by healing clients or by crystal healing workers to renew energies, clear the mind and body or enhance health.

Using the Ocean with Crystals

• Oceans are the largest bodies of crystal water you will ever encounter. The high salt content of oceans, as well as the large number of oxygen-releasing plants and living things within them, give the oceans similar properties to crystal water. Take a crystal into the ocean to rapidly clear it of any unwanted energies. Additionally, the crystal will be charged by the life force energy of the ocean. It is best to place the crystal in a cloth or net bag that can be tied to your hand or wrist so that the powerful tide of the ocean does not snatch away your crystal.
