Gem elixirs are liquid preparations that contain the potentized healing vibrations of a particular gem or mineral. Their primary actions are to stabilize and balance the energy field, including the subtle bodies that make up the aura and the chakras (main energy centers of the body).

Gem elixirs work by catalyzing the release of stress and tension that have been allowed to build up in the energetic structure of the body. As these dissonant energies are released, that structure comes back into alignment, and the body is able to regain its natural state of balance, stability, and resistance to stress.

Gem elixirs help us access the healing support of the mineral kingdom in a very efficient way through their ease and flexibility of application. They may be used both internally and externally, by themselves, or in combination with other vibrational remedies. They are particularly effective when used concurrently with flower essences, as they help to physically stabilize and anchor the shifts in consciousness that are catalyzed by the transformational energies of the flowers.

The Alaskan Gem Elixirs were co-created by Jane Bell and Steve Johnson in the summer of 1992.  Their intention was to prepare a collection of remedies that would blend the support of the mineral kingdom with the strength and purity of the Alaskan environment.  Each Alaskan Gem Elixir was prepared in a pristine wilderness setting that was chosen for the particular elemental qualities it embodied, qualities that would most effectively anchor the healing pattern of the stone into the water. For example, a few of these elixirs were prepared next to a glacier, some on the shore of one of the largest lakes in the state, located 150 miles from the nearest road, and several in a high meadow filled with wild flowers and surrounded by peaks of the Alaska Range, including Denali, the tallest mountain in North America.

Historically speaking, much of the information that exists on the healing qualities of gem stones has been derived from their physical signatures. These include the crystal system or family that a particular stone belongs to, its color, hardness, chemical composition, and the geologic process by which it was formed.  With that information in mind, the primary focus for Alaskan Gem Elixirs has been on the subtle invisible geometry or healing pattern of the stone and on the elemental forces that were called into service during the preparation process.
