What do gemstones do with water?
The crystals added to the water are both visually appealing and healthy. The water is thus charged with the energy of the gems, transporting all the information.
The different types of gem water are effective means, since they act quickly on the organism from the physical point of view. It is a similar and complementary modality to the external use of crystals, although the effects are not always equivalent. This dossier provides everything you need to know about the correct way to prepare gem water.
The vitalization of water with precious stones is based on the assumption that some natural stones emit special energies. In traditional Chinese medicine, practitioners have been making use of this in a wide variety of ways for thousands of years.
Yes the stones are endowed with vital energy and this is exactly what our drinking water lacks, it makes sense to bring the two elements together.
In the Middle Ages this was the main concern of St. Hildegard of Bingen. The abbess relied on rock crystal water in all situations.
Even then, he attributed strong effects to the stones. Still his methods of preparation are established in gemstone therapy. Over the years, the method of energizing water with rock crystals alone has been changed.
Today we opt for mixtures of different gemstones, which enhance each other.
It is said that combination of harmonizing and strengthening stones has positive effects. The basic mixture to energize the water is formed by: Amatista, rose Quartz and Crystal Quartz (also called rock quartz).
It is said that amethyst has a harmonizing effect on the soul, rose quartz is considered a cleansing stone, and rock crystal represents the strengthening of the body and mind.
There are two valid methods for vitalizing water with gemstones. On the one hand, by direct contact between the water and the stones and on the other hand, indirect contact, using glass tubes containing the stones.
Which is better, using glass rods or putting the stones directly into the water?
Both ways have their advantages and disadvantages. We explain which ones:
Gemstones used for direct contact with water should be larger in size than the pebbles on the rods, so as not to run the risk of swallowing them.
In general, larger pieces are more expensive and require more pretreatment, such as polishing. As they are directly in contact with water, they must be cleaned often to prevent lime or organic matter from being deposited on their surface.
The stones that we use to fill the rods are smaller in size, that increases their relative surface area and their vibration increases. Its energy also passes through the glass and reaches the water.
The rod is easily cleaned under water with a little detergent and can be used in several containers at the same time, such as a pitcher, a glass or a cup.
It is also possible to combine the two methods. For example, you can always have a jug of water prepared with the basic mixture "WELLNESS" at hand and, as required, add a rod of a more specific mixture.
What mix or variety of stones should I choose?
That is very personal..
Our advice... go with your intuition!
What good is a gemstone chosen for your zodiac sign, the chakra you wish to treat or the property that appeals to you, if the color/look of the stone doesn't call to you? If you're attracted to a particular blend, there's a reason! Trust the attraction you feel.
To start with, you can opt for the classic mixture that we call "Wellness", which is composed of: Amatista, rose Quartz and Crystal Quartz.
This mixture is very gentle and restores the water's natural energy, as if it were water from a fountain or spring. In addition, you can combine this basic mixture with any other, they will enhance each other, try it yourself..
Why are you selling gemstones in a store of Yoga and Meditation, what does one have to do with the other?
A lot! First we do NOT sell gemstones as ornamental jewelry, but for the purpose of enhancing health and wellness through subtle vibrations.
If you are practicing Yoga and/or Meditation you are using methods to enhance your physical, mental and spiritual health. You have chosen these techniques because you are interested in something beyond the purely physical benefit.
Do you wish to enhance more levels of your being?
Well, don't let the water you drink go unappreciated. It will be part of you, because water represents between half and two thirds of a person's weight. It becomes your blood, urine, sweat. The water you drink will be part of you and requires your attention.
Do the stones have to be cleaned, unloaded and loaded before the first use?
Good news, we take care of this before supplying them to you.
When we receive precious stones are subjected to an exhaustive cleansing process, both physically and energetically. We follow several steps:
First wash the stones with purified rainwater (very soft water) to remove all the dirt they may carry. Once they are physically cleaned, we proceed to unload and recharge them at an energetic level.
There are many methods for this purpose. Most gemstones need to be submerged in water for several hours, exposed to the sun or the moon, to recharge them. Others require a deeper cleaning with natural salt (not direct, but indirect).
At the end we kept all the prepared stones in glass jars in an old oak cupboard to preserve their energetic state.
The change from an untreated stone to an energetically recharged stone can be perceived even by an untrained person. After the process they look sharper, more vital, with much more brilliance.
Which is better, using raw stones or pebbles?
The difference between rough stones and boulders refers to the treatment after they have been extracted from the mines. Rough or massive stones have a rough surface and sharp edges.
On the other hand, pebbles are subjected to a polishing process, in machines similar to huge washing machines, which leave the stones with a smooth, shiny surface and rounded edges (hence the name "pebble").
There are those who favor raw, untreated stone to vitalize the water, because these stones are supposed to be in a more natural state than polished ones.
However, we prefer pebbles, especially in stones that are intended to be in direct contact with water, simply because a smooth surface is much easier to clean than a rough one.
Note that stones in direct contact with water should be cleaned often, at least once a week, to prevent lime scale and/or organic matter, such as algae and bacteria, from settling on them.
Disclaimer
There is still no agreed scientific evidence (although there is recent research) of the healing properties of gemstones. Our blends are based on millenary experiences of ancient cultures. Gemstones are used for example in Ayurveda, TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) and shamanic rituals, among many others. Such as the Yoga and Pilates, which we all know how beneficial they are, crystal therapy is included as a pseudo-scientific technique. The use of gemstones can NOT replace medical treatment.
