CRYSTAL WATER BOTTLES

The scoop on my new gemstone water bottle…

I’ve made a conscious effort to increase my daily water intake over the last year; not just because of how important it is to the body, but because of all the added benefits of doing so (improving memory & mood, reducing cravings, flushes the system - to name a few).
On top of that, this year especially, I’ve really committed to increasing my action towards sustainability and living a more Eco-friendly lifestyle because I realised more than ever that true change comes from individual action and commitment, not just thinking about it.

Here’s the lowdown on my new relationship with gemstone water bottle brand BeWater…

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll probably know that the law of attraction plays a massive role in my life, as well as other holistic or alternative therapies such as use of Crystals, Oracle cards and Reiki. That’s why when I heard about BeWater, a reusable gemstone filled water bottle brand who are committed to providing responsibly sourced water bottles packed full of the energies of different crystals, I was super excited!

Drawing on an ancient practice that stretches back thousands of years, Bewater bottles incorporate beautiful, ethically sourced gemstones at their core, each chosen to transfer a specific energy ‘blueprint’ when the bottle is filled with water. There are four Bewater ‘paths’ to choose from: Belove, Bepower, Bejoy and Bemagic. Each has been designed using gemstones inspired by these qualities.

Finding a new relationship with water during lockdown

Lockdown has been such a challenging time for a lot of us, even us who are generally quite positive with a sunny nature! In times of challenge it’s only natural to worry about our well-being and the impact that it will have on us, both in the immediate and long-term future. I for example, spent the first few months of lockdown being super active, looking after myself and reconnecting with nature, but I also found myself in a period where I’d lost all motivation and commitment to keep looking after myself shortly after that. After feeling in a strangely foggy place for a few weeks, I’d realised that many of the positive things I was doing to keep my well-being in harmony at the beginning of lockdown (like drinking lots of water) had stopped…and this was when I had my ‘ah-ha’ moment, about why I was feeling a bit out of sorts.

I noticed that on days where I wasn’t drinking water, invoking the energies of my crystals or making a conscious effort to nourish my well-being, I started to feel really shitty. Shitty & tired. But this was such an awakening moment for me because I learned, personally, for the first time ever, the importance of water in MY life and how it relates to other parts of my overall health and well-being. That might sound strange. You might be thinking, “duh, we need water to survive dumb dumb”. But I tell you, until you have that realisation/ experience of particular things yourself, it doesn’t always penetrate.

Three Bewater crystal combinations that may prove especially useful during times of challenge are Compassion, Clarity and Abundance.

Compassion combines Lapis Lazuli, thought to calm stress and support healthy immune function, with the beautiful zen Aura Quartz.

Clarity uses Amethyst to bring clarity of thought and peace of mind and Quartz Crystal to encourage hydration and amplify energy.

Abundance incorporates Citrine to energise every level of life; it is used to open the chakras and sharpen the intuition. The energy of this stone is alive and overflowing.

My new water ritual using my Citrine Abundance Glass Bottle*

Right, so now that I’ve told you something you already knew (recap: staying hydrated is super important for your physical wellbeing and overall health), I can tell you how I’ve been using my own Bewater bottle to set intentions and nourish my soul from the inside out.

But before I do that, let’s have a moment of appreciation for the bottle in mention…

Okay, where was I? Ah yes, nourishing your body from the inside out…Crystals can help you do this. Everything moves, everything has a vibration and a frequency, or energy, and according to the theory of crystal healing, our energies rise to align with the frequency of crystals.

When we’re at a higher frequency, we feel in better health, we have more energy and we experience more flow in our lives. Equally, when we’re out of alignment and our frequency is lower, we can rebuild feelings of wellness and positivity by spending time with a frequency that is higher.

The Energies & Properties of the Citrine Crystal

Citrine energises every level of life. In crystal healing traditions, it is used to open the Chakras and sharpen the intuition. The energy of this stone is alive and overflowing, full of joy, wonder, delight and enthusiasm. It is believed to motivate, activate creativity and raise self-esteem, thus opening a world of abundance!

From a physical perspective, Citrine is all about balance – balancing hormones, settling digestion, improving circulation and supporting thyroid function. It is a great stone for detoxification of mind, body and spirit; and for a time of renewal and creation!

When I use my bottle, I like to fill it with water and (sometimes fruit) and allow it to infuse for at least 10 minutes before I start to sip away. One of the practices that accompanies my sipping and works really well is intention setting. I’ll do another post about exactly what I do to set my intentions, but in short, I like to use a combination of written and visualisation techniques to map out my desires as a manifestation technique.

I have found time and time again how beneficial it is for me to do this in order to keep on track with achieving the things I love, but also to give my days some particular areas of focus. For example, a daily intention may be:

“Today I want to experience the feelings of joy & abundance.”

Sometimes my intentions are followed by micro-actions that will help the universe to bring about the circumstances or things that I wish to attract. So for example, in this case, I may take an action to meditate on the things that help me to achieve this, or I may leave it to the universe to bring about the events that will lead to this feeling. Your intuition will tell you what will work best - the Universe never fails us!

I use my Abundance bottle daily and I’m certain that this is it for my water drinking needs now. Bewater have truly transformed my water intake from a necessity, to a well-being experience and I am truly grateful.

Another amazing thing about the bottles is that the inserts are changeable, which means you can purchase additional ones to swap out as and when you need them.
