Simplified Activation Ritual (Inspired by The Liquid Crystal Oracle)

"Cleansing and healing exercise"

This is best performed by the ocean or near a body of water.

1. Hold Aquamarine in your dominant hand over your 3rd eye with a selenite on your crown chakra and a pyrite on or around the solar plexus.
2. Take slow, deep breaths, imagining a gentle river washing through your mind and emotions.
3. Say aloud:
   "I release complexity. I embrace simplicity. I flow with truth and clarity."
4. Allow your thoughts to settle, gaining insight into what truly matters.

Spend time with this breathing, visualizing, and mantra exercise. If done with true intention, the effects should last a long time. See if you can do this multiple days in a row, preferably for 21 days to really shift life into simplicity.

“Greater vocal delivery and word precision”

To increase clear communication:

1. Place aquamarine on or behind your throat, sapphire on the lower left side of your ribs with silver on the other side.
2. Slow deep breaths and include some vocal toning or humming to amplify the process and clear out the throat. Go ahead and get lost in some singing!
3. Speak aloud, “I say what I mean with clarity” or repeat “I speak clearly and confidently”
4. Carry on for as long as you feel called, ideally at least 15-20 minutes performed daily for 21 days or the day of a speech.
