Healing with Gemstones… Magical or Logical?

Astrology has always been very fascinating to the world. The Predictions, Yantras, Mantras, Gemstones makes us wonder how they impact our lives. How something in the solar system can be influenced by a piece of rock on the earth…

Since ages, mankind is trying to discover a method with which future can be foreseen and controlled. However, to some extent we have succeeded in this and we are using gemstones to shape our lives. But, is it science or supernatural powers that make these rocks so powerful? Let’s unfold the mystery… 

When I am million kilometers away from cosmic bodies… How can I get affected?

Every thing in this universe possess energy… as long as these energies are in harmony, everything is fine. During conjunction, these objects start impacting each other by radiating and accepting energies. The most common example of this phenomenon is tides… moon revolves around the earth and due to gravitational forces it changes the level of tides.

Planets are no different than rest of the things in the universe, which is why; they impact human lives on earth by affecting their energies.

Talking about human being, not every planet shows same effect on different individuals. E.g.; to some, Jupiter bestows prosperity while to others it brings worries. Why this is so? Because, our birth chart decide the role of planets in our life.

What my birth chart has to do with it?

A Horoscope chart is created by analyzing the planetary position (also called natal planets) at the time of birth. These positions are calculated in correspondence to the 5 fixed stars of the universe, which also decides your zodiac.

By considering the natal planets and their conjunction with current planetary positions, status of planets and their effects on our life is calculated. This is how astrologers make predictions and recommend gem stones.

Why I am being advised to wear gem stone?

Like any other object, human body also possess energies which decides our well being, physical and mental condition. Let’s say, you have a bad headache today… it’s because your energies are not well harmonized which makes you feel uncomfortable. Another example, you are feeling very jovial today (whatever is the reason)… the reason of your happy behavior is the flow of positive energy into the body.

It is very clear that our tendency to receive energies decides our physical and mental well being.

Gem stone is one such object which radiates energy and influences the energies of our body, which can be positive or negative. We often misunderstood gemstones as remedies and expect wonders out of it. This is not completely true. We must understand that gemstone boosts the energy of planet, be it positive or negative. This is why we must wear them with utmost caution.

Okay, so how do I know which stone to wear? 

Many a time, we wear gemstones for enhancing our personality or status. Diamond, Ruby, Pearl are among the hot favorite jewelry stones. Intentionally or unintentionally, we are exposing ourselves to their energies. Not always, but they do leave their negative impact. This does not mean, you stop wearing jewelry… just be a little cautious, if things suddenly started turning upside down after bringing a new stone trinket into your wardrobe.

For astrological reasons, it’s always good to consult a qualified astrologer. Second important thing, always buy gem stone from authorized agency (insist for certificate of authenticity) and it must be crafted with perfection, strict NO to flawed stone!

Precious or Semi precious? What is the difference?

Commercially, a gem stone is classified as Precious and Semi precious stone, based on rarity of their availability. Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald are known as Precious stones because of their purest form, while rest all are categorized as semi-precious.

There is a misconception that Semi-precious stones are less effective and less valuable. Is it so? Here is the answer…

Ruby, recommendation for Sun, starts with a price around USD 1200… whereas, Green Garnet also costs around USD 1200 which is a semi precious gem stone yet expensive.

Let’s take another example. Price range of Emerald starts with USD 180 and its substitute is Green Onyx which starts with USD 68 (almost, half the price). Green Onyx is a semi precious stone yet effective for debilitated mercury.

Not every pocket affords expensive stones… Then, what can I do?

Mother Nature has given us so many stones that we can easily find an affordable substitute for us, e.g. Brown Tourmaline is an effective substitute of Ruby. Almost, every astrologically significant gem stone has an alternate, which are easily available with dealers. So, you don’t have to burn a hole in your pocket to get a solution of your problems... just ask for gemstone from your astrologer which is inexpensive yet a valuable substitute.
