How to Use Crystal Cocktails to Expand Your Energy Healing

Crystal cocktails are when we use more than one crystal to support the goal of our energy work.

Crystal cocktails are the key to expanding our crystal energy healing and taking it to the next level. 

Why is that?

Because crystal cocktails interact with who we really are; complicated human beings with complicated emotions.

Stand-alone crystals are GREAT for energy healing. But we can really add oomph and extra healing by making these crystal cocktails.

You can use the crystal cocktails in grids, lay them on your body, hold them in your hand. 

 Sometimes I like to set them in front of me while I’m sitting at the table and charge them with my hands.

 As always, there is not one right way to do this. Just start  your energy work and see what crystals support your intention.

Here are some examples to show you what I’m talking about.

Asking for a Raise Cocktail

Imagine getting ready to ask your boss for a raise. For this, it makes sense to set an intention for open and clear communication.

The way to expand the energy and build the cocktail is to ask,
“What would help me have open and clear communication with my boss?”

The answers to that question build the recipe for your unique cocktail.

How about some root crystals to feel SAFE talking to my boss, some solar plexus crystals to feel CONFIDENT talking to my boss, and some crown chakra crystals to know I am CONNECTED TO MY DIVINE PURPOSE while I am in talking to my boss.

I like to put the support affirmations first (root, solar plexus, and crown), because those are the ones that are holding resistance to the open and clear communication, get it? I clear the resistant chakras so my body is ready for the throat chakra healing. Its like tying the shoe laces before starting to run.

 Here is another example.

Forgiveness Cocktail

You have been doing some soul searching and decide you are ready to do forgiveness work directed towards your step mom.

You intuitively feel like rose quartz is going to show up with the best energy to support you.

But you are still feeling some resistance.
Ask yourself,

“Where am I resisting this forgiveness?” or “What would help me forgive her?”

If you are replaying painful memories over and over in your head, a third eye crystal could help.

If your inner child is resisting with a long list of “She did this and she did that, and it wasn’t fair!” a sacral chakra crystal could help, or a crystal that reassures and nurtures your inner child.

Maybe you are feeling that “it is not safe to forgive her,” in which case we could add some root chakra support.

Even, perhaps, your heart is still resisting. The hurt from a mother-figure, and wishing you had a different past with her, is real! So I would add EVEN MORE heart chakra crystals.

A crystal with a loving, maternal, or goddess energy could also help, unless that energy in general is triggering to you.

All of those blocks make perfect sense, by the way, and none of those feelings are wrong. 

Let’s talk about forgiveness for a minute. I like to think of forgiveness work like this;
Forgiveness means we are clearing an emotional debt someone “owes” us. We are saying

“I no longer expect you to repay this. I am in charge of this now. I take responsibility for healing this debt.”

It isn’t about saying that it is ok for someone to hurt you.
It is more saying

“I choose to hold onto healing now, instead of holding onto pain.” 

It is about clearing blocks and hooks so that you can begin healing. 

These forgiveness affirmations would support the cocktail:

I release these upsetting memories. I am free of the need to replay them over and over in my head.

I nourish, protect, and love my inner child. I remove any connections and energy hooks this child has to my stepmom. 

It is safe to release this anger and hurt.

I choose to use my energy to love myself.

I am open to experiencing healthy relationships.

Which style of energy work with crystal cocktails is best?

As you can see, some of my grids are on my flower of life, some are free form. I like to go with whatever feels right in the moment.

That is a way to develop and honor your intuition.

I know that can seem intimidating if you are a beginner! Don’t worry.

One style of working with crystals is NOT better than another!

And like I mentioned earlier, you don’t have to grid! Gridding makes sense to my brain so I go to it often, but I also use crystal pouches and God Boxes, or wear the stones as jewelry.

Make this work your own. You can use crystal cocktails any way you want.

Grief Cocktail

A final free form grid to help illustrate crystal cocktails for energy work is this grief grid.

Apache tear is a classic grief stone. Even as a stand alone crystal, it could bring you support and comfort. But we can also use it in a crystal cocktail to boost the energy work and energetic synergy of the crystals.

The intention of this grid is to hold space for grief. 

Usually, after I make an important grid, I put the crystals in a God Box. I love to write an intention and add it to the box. My God Box will sit on a shelf in my home for weeks at a time working the intention of the grid. 

So go grab your crystals, set your intentions, ask yourself what crystals would support your work, and feel the magic unfold.
