The process of creation, as we described in previous chapters, is quite complex and challenging. Not every step can be done perfectly or even completed on the first attempt. However, this doesn't mean there will be no results from flawed work. You can start the creation over and over again, improving the process iteratively and slowly growing your Crystal from one attempt to another. Each time you will achieve slightly better results, a bit deeper knowledge, and better-trained skills.

But over time, after many cycles, you may find yourself burdened under the layers of fatigue, confusion, and disappointment. This happens to people even during normal daily life. Remnants, slags, and mixed raw substances accumulate in our lab over time, increasing our entropy.

If that's the case, it may be time to perform a great reset for ourselves. If you are reading this book for the first time and have been following the process, it's worth resetting at this point.

Fire to the Sky

We briefly mentioned this technique in the "Air" chapter, now let's review it in deeper detail:

• Sit or stand comfortably.
• Tune into the Fire, using both of your hands.
• Raise the Fire through your body with both hands, creating a full-power firestorm for yourself.
• Let the Fire climb from your feet up to your knees, belly, chest, hands, head, above the head, and around your entire body.
• Use spontaneous movements of your hands to let the Fire reach and clean each part of your cocoon around your body. It will burn away everything wrong, outdated, or stuck, and it will refine and improve everything worth keeping.
• You may now feel joy, strength, and freedom. The Fire is all around you, and it becomes unclear whether the Fire came to you and filled everything, or if you are fully submerged in the ocean of the Fire.

Continue enjoying the Fire as long as you wish. You need to restore your connection with Fire to maintain a strong and steady energy supply in your life.

Great Flood

Once you are done, it is the turn of Water to flush away the ashes and calm and clear your mind and heart:

• Tune into the world of Water, using both of your hands, and raise them slightly above your head.
• Feel rivulets of cool water flowing down through your fingers, around your wrists, down to your elbows.
• Feel the crown of your head cool with a menthol sensation, sliding slowly down the back of your head, around your neck, and shoulders, and down along your entire body.
• Slowly lower your hands to avoid tiring them and enjoy the full-power rain of calming Water, which flushes away all the mud and soot and makes you feel transparent and silent.

Enjoy the Water as long as you wish. Your little personal Ragnarok is over.
Nobody is dead, nothing is destroyed, and your shiny Stone is still there, waiting to be created again.
