From the book "Everyday Magic" by Dorothy Morrison

Take a blue topaz to a quiet place and sit comfortably. Set the stone aside, then close your eyes and hold your hands closely together, palms facing each other. Feel the warmth of energy flow between your fingers and palms. Visualize the energy as a white light.

Move your hands farther apart, forcing the energy stream to broaden. Keep moving your hands and expanding the energy force until you reach a distance of about six inches. Shape the energy into a ball with your fingers, then squeeze and compress it until it is the size of the stone.

Hold the compressed energy in one hand and the topaz in the other, then clasp your hands together to combine the two. Say:

"Thought form of my energy
In this stone, now live and be."

Open your hands and breathe on the stone. Say:

"I share with you my Air to breathe."

Hold the stone to your forehead, then hold it to your heart. Say:

"I give you the Fires of passion and intellect."

Rub some saliva into the stone. Say:

"I give you the Waters of Life."

Rub the stone across your feet. Say:

"I give you the strength of foundation."

Hold the stone in your dominant hand until it tingles and pulses with energy. Open your hand and chant over the stone:

"Stone of Topaz, bluest stone,
Your life is mine, and mine alone.
Work to curb my appetite
And bring good health back into sight.
Give me strength to stay away
From foods where fat and sugar play.
Bring the willpower that I need
As I will, so mote it be!"

Wear or carry the stone with you while dieting.
