First, create
a quiet, calming environment. Turn off all lights. Light a white, off-white,
yellow, or red candle. Place the candle so that the flame is out of your
direct field of view from where you will be sitting, or laying. (this part
is important)
Light the Jasmine
incense, and allow it to smoke the room a little. Put it close to where
you will be sitting or laying.
Next, put on some
light, calming or soothing music, non-lyrical and without a lot of drastic
changes to it. The music needs to flow evenly so that it helps to calm,
but does not draw attention to itself. Turn it up to drowned out any silence
or house noises, but not loud enough to be noticed after a few moments.
Make yourself as
comfortable as possible. Remove any jewelry or clothing that you will constantly
be aware of on your person, such as a pendant that as you try to relax
you just keep noticing it resting on your sternum (example). If you are
acutely aware of little things like this, then you cannot completely relax,
and this will not work.
Take the Hematite
(The shiny metallic grey-black stone) into your right hand. Place it so
that it is comfortably resting in your palm, almost to the point that,
after a time, it seems to feel as if it melds into your hand. Then place
the Quartz or Fluorite stone in your left hand, comfortable in the palm,
just as the other.
Close your eyes,
and control your breathing. Deep, slow, easy breaths. Allow your body to
feel a slight airyness, but be careful, …don’t fall asleep. When you have
achieved this, begin to envision all the anger, or fear, or upset nerves,
or whatever has you distressed as emanating a pale red glow. Then envision
all of the red slowly, gradually drawing itself through your body, pulling
itself toward your right shoulder, moving down your right arm, into your
hand, then into the hematite stone. Hematite is legendary for having the
unique capability of drawing negativity into itself, and out of the object
it touch, whether it be human, animal, or inanimate.
As the red glow
slowly gets sucked into the hematite, envision the crystal stone in your
Other hand gently drawing in the calm atmosphere of the room, and allowing
it to seep into your left hand, becoming a pale blue or white illumination
as it does so. Envision the blue or white glow slowly flow through your
body, filling every point that the red had just left, until it eventually
reaches the hematite stone in your right hand.
At this point,
stop. Open your eyes, take a deep breath. Lay the stones down away from
you, not touching each other, and just allow yourself to continue relaxing,
listening to music, smelling the jasmine, watching the candle flame flicker.
And remember to lay your hematite upon the earth overnight to allow the
negative energies to draw out of the stone.
