*Reveals, step by step, the shamanic rituals and techniques to prepare crystal homoeopathic elixirs to heal the waters of the Earth *Explains how to create a sacred water altar in your home for elixir preparation as well as programme the crystals used with healing intentions Ravenwood explains how to create crystal homoeopathic elixirs using a sacred water altar and attuned crystals. Detailing how to create a personal altar in your home, the crystals most suitable for this work (such as amethyst and selenite), as well as how to programme them with your healing intentions, she describes the month-long cycle - from full moon to full moon - of ritual and prayer at the core of the process that infuses the elixirs with their cleansing and healing powers. Ravenwood provides shamanic journey meditations based on Native American and Egyptian traditions to help you connect with ancient water spirits and guides and instil your water-healing work with sacred purpose. She explains how to ceremonially apply an elixir to a body of water and how the remedy will propagate outward to the ocean, bringing healing to the waters it spans as well as to the animals it encounters. Bringing spirituality into physicality and providing a practical application for the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, this hands-on shamanic method enables each of us to take part in transforming our planet as well as our selves - for the health of Gaia and our own bodies is directly tied to the health of the waters that surround and are within us.

Ravenwood has adeptly crafted a powerful elixir of practical tools, inspirational stories and heartfelt meditations and lovingly placed this guidebook on the altar inviting each of us to add our magic, intention and attention to the waters that flow through our bodies, emotions and planet. I loved reading this book and will treasure it for years to come. * Danielle Rama Hoffman, author of The Temples of Light and founder of Divine Transmissions and Thoth' *
Kathryn Ravenwood writes in a common-sense, down-to-earth style, yet she brims with elegance and depth. Weaving in her own remarkable and very human narrative, Kathryn gently but confidently encourages us to trust our own sacred essence and experience. She helps us find the potency of our own loving intention, our own consciousness, our every action. She reminds us that all is one vast energy field, and that we can be a healing force within it. * Brian C. Taylor, author of Becoming Christ: Transformation Through Contemplation, and Becoming Human *

How to Create Sacred Water is a blessing to the planet, at a time that we need it the most, when every day our waters become more polluted, more species become extinct, and our way of life and our planet are threatened. Thank you, Ravenwood, for helping save the planet. * Gloria Taylor Brown, co-author of Invoking the Scribes of Ancient Egypt, CEO of Taylor Brown Interna *

Kathryn clearly shows us that spirit is alive and well and ready to work with us to help in planetary healing. * Sharlyn Hidalgo, MA, author of The Healing Power of Trees: Spiritual Journeys Through the Celtic Tre *

For followers of new age thought, [Ravenwood] provides thought on her ideas of healing and research using this purified water and crystals. How to Create Sacred Water is worth considering for metaphysical spirituality and healing collections. * Wisconsin Bookwatch, December 2012 *
[Ravenwoods] work is important in many ways, one of which is the generosity of her focus on healing the Earth--in contrast to our predisposition to focus only on ourselves. Implicit in her message is the truth that the water is us--that the health of the Earths water is intimately connected with our own well-being, and that we are not separate from the Earth. With love and good humor, she brings us gently to a perspective that could go far in the healing of us all. * Metaguide, January 2013 *
Here is a simple way to revitalize your local and wider waterways. It takes a big dollop of loving intent and some basic tools, easily obtained. Read the book for a list and for the method. * Jennifer Hoskins, New Dawn, June 2013 *
