CITRINE CRYSTAL FOR CURE AND WEALTH LUCK

Since Chinese New Year is around the corner and in ushering the new year with everything new, let us look at the mystical crystal for their mystical power to usher in good luck of health and wealth to us all.

Citrine is a yellow-to-golden member of the quartz mineral group. A deep golden variety from Madiera Spain can resemble the costly imperial topaz gem stone, which is one reason that citrine is a popular birthstone alternative to those born in November and those who are lacking in the Earth element in their birth chart.

Citrine has been called the "stone of the mind". Ancient cultures believed that placing a citrine on the forehead of an elder would increase his psychic power.

Citrine is known as the lucky "Merchants Stone". If you are in any type of sales, just put a citrine in the cash drawer and watch what happens. Also used by healers to:

• increase self esteem
• protect from the negative energy from someone else's abuse
• open the mind to new thoughts
• promote clarity of thought

At night, before retiring to bed, you can also imagine smoke comes out from the top of your head, slowly cover your whole body and then turn your body into gold. This is believed to realized wealth luck and good relationship luck.

Citrine is sometimes used by healers to help with digestion as it is considered beneficial to the endocrine and digestive system - cleansing, purifying and eliminating poisons that have built up. Citrine is an excellent stone to calm and soothe distressed conditions. Some use it to help relieve depression, digestive problems (including constipation and diabetes). It will give joy and love to the owner.

KAMQUAT DIGESTIF FOR CHINESE LUNAR NEW YEAR 2013

Well....the biggest Chinese community's celebration is around the corner now, i.e. Chinese Lunar New Year 2013, so I thought I share something relevant for the festive season.

As usual, kamquat and Chinese Lunar New Year are synonym and during this time of the year, you will see lots of kamquats at the market which to the Chinese, represents "Gold" or wealth luck.

Use the golden orange kamquats only

Therefore, with lots of kamquat available, why not make a drink great for the family reunion dinner or to be served to visiting guests? Let's drink to our great wealth with "Kamquat Digestif"....in Malaysia, the Chinese would shout out loud "Yummmmm Seng" as a toast to each other.

Ingredients needed:

1) A bottle of your favourite Vodka (if you drink), if not, a bottle of your favourite sparkling juice

2) Some sugar (if you use Vodka)

3) Some water to dissolve the sugar

4) Some kamquats, of course!

First, heat-up sauce pan with 1/2 cup of water, add sugar to your sweetness tolerance / preference then when the sugar has dissolved, lift up the sauce pan and let it cool to room temperature.

When the syrup has cooled down, pour in your Vodka into a decanter and add in the syrup as well.

Wash and cut your kamquats into halves (about 6 kamquats for 1 litre of decanter) and drop them into your decanter with the Vodka + syrup.

Close the lid of your decanter tightly and keep it refrigerated, preferable 1 - 3 weeks, depending on how patience you are for optimun kamquat "kick".  A day or two would do too but less "kick".

The same method applies to sparkling juice, except that you don't need to add the syrup because sparkling juice is already sweet (unless you want it to be a bit sweeter).

Serve the drink chilled!!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2013 TO EVERYONE!!!!!
