Bath therapy with a gem elixir
Bathing with a gem elixir always works better if the actual gemstone is also placed in the water. This works even better if the water is first filtered through quartz crystals. Gemstones were embellished in the bathing pools of many past cultures including Lemuria, Atlantis, Egypt, Rome, Greece, Persia, India, China, the Incas, and the Mayans.
A particularly valuable technique is to obtain and place seven oils in the bath along with the actual gemstone. Individuals can research what would be especially valuable to their unique needs, but the seven oils recommended for the general populace to activate the seven chakras include olive oil for the crown chakra, jojoba oil for the brow chakra, clove oil for the throat chakra, sunflower oil for the heart chakra, cotton oil for the third chakra, peanut oil for the second chakra, and safflower oil for the first chakra. People experimenting with other oils should feel free to use intuition and other modalities such as the pendulum to understand what chakra each oil is affecting.
Oils fully strained to the point of clearness with as little coloration as possible are best. Otherwise, colored oils would manifest color healing and a given color frequency might be discordant with and interfere with the color vibration and healing frequency of a given gemstone. These essential oils should also be organic, preferably not including any animal fat or petroleum products.
Mixing essential oils with the gemstones in the bath
First, experiment to isolate the level of natural suspension and buoyancy of each oil. One possible test is to take a tumbler half filled with pure distilled water and gradually place each oil into the tumbler. There would be a slight differentiation in buoyancy and density for each oil; each would float at a slightly different level in the water. You could then see what level the oil was influencing to better understand how each oil was working. The goal is to obtain seven different levels to activate each of the seven main chakras.
In a tumbler or in a bath, the denser oils that settle closer to the bottom of the water have an attunement to the lower chakras and associated lower chakra influences, while the finer oils that settle closer to the top of the water have more affinity to the higher chakras.
For instance, contrast the settlement of heavier castor oil with lighter almond or myrrh and frank oils. Castor oil is often used over the abdomen, while essential oils from frank and myrrh are traditionally used to anoint the brow and other facial areas, thus affecting the higher chakras. When used in bathing, the heavier oils have a greater affinity with gems that have an attunement to the lower chakras such as dark pearl and dark opal. Lighter oils intermix with gemstones that activate the higher chakras such as quartz and diamond. Approximately five drops of each oil should be placed into the average size bathtub. However, more oil could be added to the bath so that the entire surface of the water was covered with oil.
The properties of these essential oils penetrate into the skin, which is, of course, part of the body’s digestive system. The assimilation of these properties into the system cause increased harmony and balance within the self Gemstones influence the person more by stimulating the subtle bodies through the meridians, which find a heightened quality upon the skin’s surface. It is better if the gemstones used to correspond to the chakras are of a more porous nature.
Because of this porous nature, it might be wise to use some of these gemstones only once in this process. While it is not crucial, greater amplification is achieved in bathing with gem elixirs, gemstones, and essential oils with distilled water.
If the water used is first passed through crushed powdered quartz as described above, the properties of the oils and gemstones will then extend to the levels of the subtle bodies, stimulating a mild nutrient like property.
