No, this isn’t your morning smoothie! This is a gem elixir to help you get the most out of your day. You’ll need a small, clear drinking glass and a larger one; you’re going to put one inside the other. You’ll also need a gemstone. Select from the following list, or (if you’re experienced) use a stone you already work with.

* Carnelian: Energy and vitality
* Citrine: New beginnings
* Rose quartz: Universal love
* Sodalite: Cleansing and purification
* Amethyst: Peace and spirituality
* Tektite: Grounding and discipline

Place the stone in the smaller glass. Place the smaller glass in the larger one, and put some purified drinking water around it, but not too much— you don’t want the glass to float away!

Let this bathe in the sunlight for a day, then remove the smaller glass and drink the energy of the crystal and the life force of the sun.
