Use Herkimer Diamonds

Herkimer diamonds are really quartz crystals that are so named because of their clarity and unique diamond shape. These crystals are valued in crystal healing and spiritual work. It is believed that they are very intense and carry high vibrational energy. These diamonds are used to clarify psychic energy and encourage healing on all levels.


Instructions








1. Place it under your pillow. Herkimer diamonds are known for their dream-enhancing capabilities. If you are interested in exploring your unconscious through dreams or you are having trouble sleeping, use this crystal to help you sleep more deeply and remember your dreams better. Simply place the diamond crystal in a small cloth bag and slip it under your pillow. You don't need a very large crystal for this practice.


2. Make a gem elixir. Herkimer crystals are used in elixirs to enhance clarity of vision, clarify your dreams and encourage healing. Elixirs are made in a variety of ways with liquors and various herbs. The simplest method for creating an elixir is to place the Herkimer diamond in a clear glass of fresh water. Place this water out in direct sunlight for a couple of hours. When finished you preserve the elixir and fix the vibration by mixing one part of the water with one part of an inexpensive liquor.


3. Use it in meditation. The Herkimer crystal's psychic clarifying effects work well in meditation. Find a comfortable position in which to meditate. Hold the crystal loosely in your hands. Concentrate on relaxing. Focus on the crystal. Send your mental energy to the crystal, communicating your goals to it. What do you want to achieve with your meditation? Are you looking to encourage healing, contact a spiritual realm or increase your mental abilities? Don't try to force the meditation. Be calm and relaxed as you focus on your goals.








4. Wear it on your body. Direct skin contact with the Herkimer diamond takes advantage of its healing benefits. Make a bracelet or necklace of crystals to wear. This little stone is said to sometimes be overwhelming in its powers. Pair it with amethyst to mute its abilities slightly if needed. Some also place the stone in a headband to wear over their third eye on the forehead. This is helpful during meditation and psychic work.
