While I cannot cook, I do want to share my favorite recipe for stress release – also pre-stress magic (like the night before an MSJ filing).
- Stress Relief: Immersing yourself in a crystal-infused bath can help alleviate stress. The calming energies of the crystals promote a sense of peace.
- Energetic Cleansing: Crystals absorb negative energies.
RECIPE
- PREP: Obtain a drawstring mesh nylon-type bag. You can have a set of 10 with pretty colored ribbons closer by tomorrow with Amazon. Keep this bag (which is just plain cute) hanging on your bathtub/shower wall. Clear little waterproof stick-on hooks are available (Amazon). Note: If you are a shower taker then this little hook trick is perfect.
- Choose your crystals: Choose ones that are both water and salt-safe (not all crystals are).
- Amethyst – reduce insomnia
- Black Obsidian – shield against negativity and brings clarity to the mind (if you notice my desk outlined with little black stones . . . )
- Citrine – boost needed to plow on through
- Clear Quartz – brings a sense of clarity
- Rose Quartz – pull your spirits back up
- Sodalite – deep peace, serenity
- Smoky Quartz – neutralizes negative energies, alleviates anxiety
- Cleanse your crystals (Google shall explain).
- Draw a bath
- Add
- One cup of Himalayan salt it helps to protect your energy but also strengthens and softens your skin. (Martha Stewart notes that keeping the salt in a pretty clear container in your bathroom with a little wood scoop (see Amazon) is visually zen.)
- 10 drops (or so . . .) of your favorite essential oil – Lavender oil works perfectly it creates a soft aroma while encouraging you to relax even deeper (do not add essential oil to your shower, you can use shower steamer blocks – Amazon).
- Think of the one thing you want to achieve or manifest and picture it as clearly as you can.
- Soaking with your crystals for 15-20 minutes.
- OPTIONAL – dim lights and light a few scented candles.
