Touchstone
/ˈtəch-ˌstōn/ noun
A sacred object made from symbol, metal and gemstone
Infused with Reiki healing energy to support connection to self
Designed to be a vessel for your powerful intentions
The jewelry you reach for every day to walk with you on your life journey
You may be asking yourself why you're here...
The truth is, you already know.
You want to connect with who you are on a deep soul level.
This ritual will open the road to that journey inward.
By setting your intentions within a piece of my symbolic jewelry, you activate it.
This activation is the moment you breathe life into your touchstone.
Through whispered word and empowered thought, this is how you call yourself home.
Prepare Your Space
Let’s get you nested in your most cozy space.
Pick a quiet area you can be in undisturbed for about 20 minutes.
You can do this indoors or out—it is entirely up to you.
Gather any crystals you have on hand, make yourself a comforting drink, maybe even grab a blanket.
The idea here is to make yourself as comfortable and cared for as possible.
You’re creating the threshold for something sacred to come into being.
Gather Your Tools:
- Selenite or Clear Quartz crystal
- Incense or any dried herb you feel comfortable burning
- a candle (optional, follow your comfort level)
This is your time and your practice. You get to choose how simple or complex you want to make it. You could even devote a whole night to this if that calls to you. Take a cleansing bath, maybe even pull some oracle cards for guidance and clarity. The magic in any ritual or spell lies in listening to and following your intuition.
Feel free to make this one fully yours.
Grounding for Head and Heart
I would suggest a quick grounding session for a few minutes right beforehand.
Simply go outside and stand barefoot on the earth or place your hand onto a tree. Close your eyes, if it's safe to do so. Take a deep cleansing breath and think about drawing in warm positive elemental energy. At the same time let go of any negative energy you have been holding onto to be cleansed and renewed. Do not fear harming nature, she knows what to do with the energy you send to her.
When it feels complete close with a thank you.
You are now grounded.
This energetic moment connects your body to the Earth and your energy to your intention.
Repeat this sacred practice anytime you need a reset.
Let Us Begin
You have everything you need
Step 1 Set Your Intention
Light your incense or candle, ensuring you follow fire safety guidelines and keep flammable materials at a safe distance.
Get comfortable and take a few deep cleansing breaths.
Quiet your mind, hold your jewelry and look at it closely.
Connect with the symbols and stones.
Pay attention to any thoughts, emotions or imagery that come in.
Let that help guide you to your full intention.
You can use the suggested mantra, or shorten your own thoughts into a quick and easily repeatable phrase.
Choose affirming language, even if your intention is to let something go.
Step 2 Smoke Cleanse
If you have specific herbs you feel comfortable burning now is the time to safely light it, or use the incense you already have burning.
**Special note: For those who do not want to light anything or cannot be around smoke. Hold your jewelry in an open palm instead and repeat the phrase with intention.
Carefully pass your jewelry back and forth through the incense smoke.
Say: "May this combination of metal, stone and symbol be cleansed of anything that doesn't serve."
Repeat the phrase three times and close with a thank you.
If candle magic is calling to you...
I love to add in a small candle into my rituals. If that's you too, here are a few ideas. For color I would go with gold, white or silver for energy cleansing and amplifying. You could really get specific and choose a chakra color that aligns with your intention. Go all out and dress your candle with herbs, scratch a symbol or word into its surface or leave it as is. This is your practice, always do what feel right for you. If you choose to add in a candle safely light it in step 1.
Step 3 Heart Centered Connection
Return to your comfortable spot with your newly cleansed piece of jewelry.
Take a centering breath and hold your jewlery to your heart.
Close your eyes and relax back.
Visualize what it would be like to have what you are calling in.
Let yourself go into the feeling of it. What is the air like? What are you wearing? Do you feel happy and light or grounded and empowered?
Get specific and sit with the emotion of it for as long as you can while pouring loving energy into your jewelry.
Repeat the mantra you chose earlier three times, then close with a thank you.
Step 4 Rest and Recharge
Open your eyes and take a deep grounding breath. Smile in the knowing you just created something sacred to support and amplify your sweet energy.
Give your touchstone a name if you feel called to do so.
Place it on your selenite or clear quartz crystal to allow the energies to settle. You can do this as long as overnight or as little as 30 minutes. Go with what feels right to you.
Your touchstone is now energetically charged and infused with your loving energy and intentions.
There is no ending, only a beginning
This ritual is designed to work in harmony with the healing Reiki energy your touchstone came infused with.
I hope you leave this practice feeling energized and empowered.
Every time you look at or wear your touchstone, repeat your mantra to yourself.
Make it a daily ritual and see where it takes you.
Fire Safety Reminder
