Crystals
, gems and minerals are solidified reflections of properties that are
already within the human body. Gems and precious metal are used to balance
planetary influences and to act directly o a life force. Having the capacity
to both attract and dispel positive or negative energies, their healing
properties are applied by wearing them in or having them in some way close
to the body. The healing effect of gems can be experienced even by placing
them in water overnight and drinking the water the next day, drinking water
form vessels made of specific metals such as gold, silver, or copper.
Precious stones and metals are also oxidized and purified in medicines in
India
. Called “bhasma”, these substances go deep into the body and can help
in the healing of deep-seated illness or in rejuvenation.
Healing using quartz
crystals is among the most ancient of all known therapies. Due to their
perfect molecular structure, crystals vibrate at a constant rate. It is this
quality of crystals that make them ideal tools for harmonizing and balancing
the body. All crystals and gemstones vibrate at their own unique
frequencies. By selecting the crystal with the correct vibration to counter
an individual’s malady, the body’s natural rhythm is restored.
If gems are to be used
for healing they should be purified. Immersing gems in salt water for two
days purifies them. Their power can also be enhanced by chanting sacred
syllables (mantra) over them. Gems are most effective when they weigh more
than two carats and are worn in contact with the skin. If a precious stone
of two carats or more is not available, it is better to use a semi precious
stone that is larger. To allow direct contact with the skin, all rings and
pendants should have an open backed setting and the preferred metal is gold.
Individual stones have
properties that influence the “doshas” in individual and increase the
well-being of the wearer. Some of the commonly worn stones includes the
Topaz, which is said to help overcome fear. A yellow Sapphire is worn to
enhance energy and vitality and is generally considered good for health.
Opal is considered to have a positive influence on the wearer, promoting
friendship, compassion, creativity and understanding. Precious stones like
Diamond, Sapphires, Rubies and semi precious stones like Lapis Lazuli, Coral
Beryl and Moonstone, have their own attributes and are recommended to
correct various imbalances in the body.
