Craft this Leo/Sun creativity syrup at sunrise, then continue using it every morning as you greet the sun to add a bit of creativity into your day! 

You Will Need:
Glass jar with lid
1 tablespoon dried chamomile
1 orange peel
1/2 teaspoon ground clove
2 saffron threads
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 cup water
Citrine
1/2 cup honey

Directions

1. At sunrise, place all ingredients except for the cinnamon water, citrine and honey in the jar.  As you add each ingredient, think about its properties and smell it’s aroma.

2. Place your hands above or on either side of the ingredients and visualize that as the sun rises and brings light to the world, so, too, do new ideas light up within you. Imagine light blossoming in the herbs, and once you feel an energetic response from them, use the cinnamon stick to stir the herbs clockwise, calling in creativity.  Pour in the water and visualize your sacred and solar plexus energy center’s growing with creative power. Add the citrane to the glass.

3. Watch or imagine the sunrise with the endless orange and bright colors. Lighting up the previously dark sky. Close the jar, and let the sun heat the infusion throughout the day, keeping it in a spot where it can absorb the sunlight. Alternatively, if you remove the citrine, you can add heated water or heat the mixture in a pot on a stove if the sun will not warm it enough. 

4. At midday when the sun reaches its peak, add the honey, again, stirring clockwise with a cinnamon stick. Bring inside and strain into a bowl. Pour strained liquid back into a jar and store in refrigerator for up to three weeks.
