Energy Body 101: Into The Roots (part 1) If you listened to the first part in our Energy Body Series on The Podcast, Angel Face Magic Hour, here is a bonus ritual for you to connect with the Root Center.
If you missed it, I am doing a Series going through the Energy Body and exploring topics related to each Energetic Center, through the perspective of the 7 Chakra Centers.
Have you ever made a essence? You might have heard of a flower essence, but have you heard of a gem essence, a color essence? Today we’re gonna be making one together using gems and color magic to nourish the Root Chakra and support grounding, energetic protection and the connection to our bodies. You can watch the video version above but i’m gonna break it down for you in this blog.
First you will need your ingredients:
1 Quart Size Mason Jar or Tall Glass for drinking water (we will be filling this almost to the brim with filtered drinking water)
Root Chakra Supportive Crystals: we used Smokey Quartz and Red Jasper, other suggestions include Black Tourmaline, Onyx, or Clear Quartz.
One colored Red cloth (can be patterned) such as a head scarf or tea towel, something small and light weight.
Alternately you could use a Red Piece of Construction Paper or Computer Paper Colored Red, Clear Tape or Red Washi Tape
Apple Cider Vinegar or 80 Proof or higher Vodka or Alcohol of Choice (this is used for preservation purposes)
Now Let’s Make Some Healing Magic!!
Step 1: Firstly you want to make sure you glass is clean and if anyone besides yourself will be consuming this medicine I advise sterilizing your glass ahead of time, you can also cleanse them energetically if you want to add another element into the mix.
Step 2: Adhere your cloth or piece of paper to the outside of your glass
Step 3: Fill your glass with water almost to the Brim
Step 4: Place a lid on your jar and lay your crystals on top on your mason jar, if crystals are food safe you can insert them directly into the water (PLEASEEEEE DO YOUR RESEARCH BECAUSE SOME CRYSTALS ARE HIGHLY TOXIC TO DRINK OR CONSUME INTERNALLY)
Step 5: Place jar in windowsill or outside in direct sunlight, for 1-4 hours, drink up and enjoy !!!!
Step 6: If you are looking to preserve this essence for continual use, fill up the top of your jar with apple cider vinegar or alcohol (vodka, tequila etc NOT rubbing alcohol). Place in your fridge and use to make your essence ratio. I explain this process further in the video, but the idea is that jar we created is now your base, our mother essence, and from that you will use a smaller dropper bottle to administer the dosage for yourself, meaning you will take a small dropper bottle, fill it half way with your essence cocktail and fill the rest up with filtered water, then you can take 2-6 drops under the tongue 1-3 times a day for continual use.
Essences are Energy Medicine, so their effects are subtle and that’s why it can be beneficial to take a small dose for a longer period of time to really see the effects and the benefits.
HAPPY ESSENCE CREATING!!!!!!
