Certain gemstones, worn originally for their decorative value, have been found to bring peace of mind to the wearer, and even affect bodily healing. Gemstones are guides that focus energies and help individuals get in touch with the universal forces that surround them. But they are not forces themselves, merely the reflection of energies that are already present and are amplified and tuned for a persons use, not misuse. Gemstones have fascinated mankind since prehistoric times. Beyond their intrinsic beauty, these special crystals can somehow focus the miraculous hidden energy of the universe. Much of the valuable data about gemstones have been lost in the past few centuries. Miraculously, some of this priceless information has recently been recovered. New disclosures on the effects of gemstones have been made available. Although many of the beneficial effects of gemstones are not directly explainable by our limited knowledge of the physical world, we do know that all gemstones possess a crystalline structure. Crystalling structures can collect, focus and emit electromagnetic energy. Scientists have long known that a crystal set in an energy field will collect and focus that energy. They also know that if a crystal is squeezed it will release its own energy (the piezoelectric effect). Yet science is not even close to understanding how truly powerful crystals are in the more important task of of focusing life energy. Of all the natural crystals, Quartz is perhaps the master gemstone. Chemically quartz is composed of silicon and Oxygen (SiO2), a combination known to geologists as the building block of minerals. In fact most of our planet is made up of minerals containing SiO2. Silicon dioxide is also an important constituent of our body, which may be the physical basis for our connection to crystals. The transfer of energy from the natural crystal to our body's silicon could have something to do with healing. Each mineral crystal has its special influence, function and vibration. There are no two crystals exactly alike. The energy emitted by gemstones can be tapped as long as the wearer choses to make use of the stone. Natural gemstones do not lose their power with age or use. Their energy comes from the cosmos, and, once activated is eternal. Natural gemstones are stronger in their powers than those that are synthetic (man-made). Gemstones are believed to affect the etheric web that lies just outside the field of vision. Human bodies are surrounded by an electromagnetic field that is sometimes visible in special pictures known as Kirlian photographs. This field is often charged with electricity. Gemstones also have their fields of electricity that, when worn on the body or carried in close proximity to a person, will affect the body of the person as well. Chakras are the seven main energy centres of the body according to eastern medicine. They are in the centre of the body, starting at the base of the spine and running up to the top of the head. 1. Root/Base Chakra 2. Sex/Navel Chakra 3. Stomach/Solar Plexus Chakra 4. Heart Chakra 5. Throat Chakra 6. Brow/Third Eye Chakra 7. Crown Chakra The body needs all of the following seven color rays: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Each color ray is associated with one or more of the Chakras. by using a color ray that supports a particular chakra, a person can speed healing of the associated areas and organs. **For more information on "Single Chakra Therapy" and "The Significance of Color Energy affecting the Human System", Please email us your request at gemstonetherapy@islandgems.biz Copyright 2006 islandgems.biz All rights reserved.
