| Gem Therapy |
Let's accept that gemstones are no ordinary stones. For there are
schools which admit that few of these gems have more vital force
than we humans have. Gems are more refined in bringing out the
results than crystals. Crystals are present in their crude form in
nature. But out of these crystals only few can be converted into
gemstones. While crystals have a weaker relationship with us owing
to the distance and gaps in our proximity with them . They are
only able to help balance the energies in their surroundings. But
gemstones, by virtue of their remaining in direct interaction with
our physical body all the time, keep balancing our aura even when
they are totally inauspicious to us. And one more thing, gemstones
not only introduce their vibrations to our systems but they also
change and alleviate our vibrations to get attuned to that of
theirs.
Now we shall see what role gemstones play in keeping our vitals in
function. As we all know every soul is inflicted with certain
karmic obstacles and the malefic push and pull of the various
planetary bodies. These obstacles impede the natural spin factor
of the chakra vortices. But gemstones, by introducing their
vibrations to the various levels of the chakra vibrations, cut
through these impediments and let the soul realize the goals for
which it has taken birth.
But for the gemstones to administer their suitable frequencies,
they should be prescribed by an expert. Just like it is dangerous
to treat a patient without the scrutiny of a certified medical
practitioner, the gemstones if administered wrongly can cause more
harm than benefit.
Now we shall reiterate few observations made during our discussion
on vastu, pyramids and astrology. Every human being comes into the
physical world with certain karmic imprints on his soul. This
karmic imprint he inherits from his performance in his previous
births. We have already discussed the feasibility of rebirth in
the light of many instances cited. Basically the chakra of the
human yoni starts with the Muladhara. It is the kind of gateway
between the human energy level and that of the animals. Hence,
many of the saints opine that once a soul packet reaches the level
of the Muladhara chakra it enters the human domain. But then a new
journey begins. As we keep performing good karmas the energy level
keeps rising and the kundalini rises to the higher chakras as
mentioned before. Now after the death of the specific human being
the soul packet remains in its resting abode for a certain period
after which it starts preparing for taking another birth. Now the
kind of birth and the quality of life the soul body is going to
lead in the forthcoming birth is mainly decided by the energy
level which the soul body retains after leaving the physical
sheath. Hence whatever good or bad karma we perform in a birth,
reaps its benefit in the next or subsequent janmas.
Hence, depending upon the energy level in the chakra system, a
soul body takes birth in the physical realm. And the position of
the planets inscribes a permanent imprint on the soul body.
Moreover, the rhythm of every planet gets registered in the soul
body which keeps affecting the course of life. There are seven
planets and two cloud planets-Rahu and Ketu-along with 27
Nakshatras which keep affecting the course of our life as per
their position during the time of our birth.
Clearly then, whatever we experience throughout the course of our
life is heavily influenced by the rhythmic motion of these
planets.
The seven chakras are associated with the seven planets and 27
Nakshatras, so that whenever these planets have any specific pull
or push on our soul bodies the chakras start acting adversely or
beneficially. Hence the cosmic rays which act as a bridge between
the chakras and the planets are either wane or wax according to
the phases that the trajectory of our lives go through.
This trajectory and the phases in which different planets behave
differently can be properly sorted out in the form of Janma
Kundali (horoscope). In fact, as I said earlier, the phrase Janma
Kundalis derived from Kundalini, which gives the reflection of our
Kundalini energy in various chakras.
Each gemstone vibrates on a specific frequency level. When a
specific chakra starts slowing down due to the waning of cosmic
rays reaching it, form a specific planet, this frequency has to be
replenished with the external agent in the form of tools and in
the form of internal catalysts like mantra and mudras of kriya
yoga.
For me gemstones are one of the most efficacious therapies as they
remain nearest to the charkas, in direct touch with the physical
body. Hence to me it appears that gemstones are one of the best
agents to bring back harmony between our karmic factors and the
planetary effects along with our aspirations and energy level.
The use of gemstones and crystals for psychic as well as
decorative purposes is now widespread. Do these gemstones have any
astrological significance, and if so, how does one work out which
stones to use for best effect?
As a general rule, the best benefits can be obtained by wearing or
using the stones represented by the strongest or most favorably
aspect planets in your natal chart. It is, after all, those
planets which tend to indicate the characteristics that we are
most 'at home with' within ourselves. A common mistake is for
someone to wear or to use a stone associated with a quality they
wish to possess or enhance, but which is not naturally assimilated
by them. Rather than the gemstone being able to endow us with some
mystical quality which we lack, it is far better to view them as
tools to enhance the abilities we already possess - and thereby
making us in a stronger position to seek within ourselves for the
qualities we wish to develop.
The following list will be of use in selecting which stones may
work well for you as an individual. When the term well-aspect is
used, I mean a planet which is strong by exaltation, ruler ship,
house position and/or in favorable aspect to the 'benefices' i.e.
Venus or Jupiter. If you do not know which are the strongest
planets in your chart, any astrologer should be able to tell you
quickly and simply.
When the SUN is well aspect:
Amber, fluorite and chrysolite are recommended. Amber
(actually a fossilized resin, rather than a 'gem') certainly
conveys a sunny color, but is also helpful in creating balance in
life and in making space for spiritual aims as well as
materialistic ones. It absorbs negativity, and has a general
harmonizing influence. Physically, it is said to benefit the
conditions of stress, asthma and urinary problems.
Fluorite is another powerful healer, which has specific
applications in the well-being of teeth, gums and bones. Chrysolite
is reputed to be powerful in healing viral illness, toxemia and
appendix problems.
When the MOON is well aspect:
Moonstone, quartz (especially milky quartz), emerald
and carnelian are recommended. The Moonstone is well known as a
soothing influence on troubled emotions, as well as an aid to
intuition and the understanding of dreams. Milky quartz absorbs
excess mental and emotional energy and has a general calming
influence.
Emerald was used in ancient times to cure eye disorders, but is
also said to enhance one's courage and self-esteem. Carnelian is
perhaps best known for increasing fluency both of speech and of
ideas - this stone is of especial benefit to anyone in the public
eye.
When MERCURY is well aspect:
Agate is recommended. This stone is said to attract loyalty and to
cushion the user from harmful vibrations. The agate stones have a
very earthy, grounding influence, which can be invaluable to the
Mercurial personality. They also promote both truth and strength.
When VENUS is well aspect:
Opal, Lapis Lazuli, Coral and Green Jasper are
recommended. Physically, the Opal is said to increase the
assimilation of protein into the body and to be helpful to the
lungs. The Opal is an important stone and also represents
unconditional love such as that of a parent to a child. It is
important that this stone is not worn by anyone with an afflicted
(difficultly aspected) Venus.
Lapis Lazuli is often known as the third eye stone, reputed to
help inner vision and enhance psychic abilities. This stone is
also found to be helpful in decision making. Coral (not
technically a gemstone) is primarily known for strengthening the
spleen, whilst it's other main physical attribute is to aid the
treatment of the voice and throat. Green Jasper is a
stabilising
stone which calms ad steadies the emotions. It is also said to be
a remedy for ulcers.
When MARS is well aspect:
Bloodstone(Green Jasper), Smoky Quartz and Diamond are
recommended. Diamond is a stone of Mars-like strength and courage,
said to give clarity of ambition and the determination to resist
setbacks. Diamond also, however, has the capacity to magnify
negative thoughts and vibrations, and should be used with care.
The Bloodstone is said to purify the blood, and is a useful stone
to wear next to the body if the wearer is suffering physical
trauma.
Smoky Quartz is a powerful healing crystal and a grounder of
excess energy. It is also traditionally said to increase fertility
in both sexes. In days gone by it was given to soldiers as a good
luck token, as it is also believed to protect the wearer or
carrier from danger.
When JUPITER is well aspect:
Topaz is recommended. This stone is said to calm the
mind and to bring refreshing sleep. Kidney and bladder complaints
and the treatment of varicose veins are also associated with this
stone.
When SATURN is well aspect:
Onyx and Malachite are recommended. Onyx, especially
black onyx is said to help overcome hearing problems and to
promote concentration and self-control. Malachite, with its high
copper content, is said to be beneficial against menstrual cramps
and rheumatism.
When URANUS is well aspect:
Zircon and Garnet are recommended. Tourmaline is also
sometimes associated with Uranus due to its highly electrical
properties.
Zircon has physical applications in the aiding of childbirth and
the treatment of insomnia. It is also said to aid spiritual
insight. The Garnet's main uses are in the treatment of blood
disorders, however this popular stone is also said to forewarn
it's wearer of impending danger by losing some of its color.
Energy, beauty and new opportunities are also said to await its
wearer.
When NEPTUNE is well aspect:
Amethyst and Aquamarine are recommended. The Amethyst
is a marvelous and beautiful stone, widely used for meditation and
healing applications. It is said to increase intuition and to
promote psychic development. It is also very helpful in relieving
sleeplessness and headaches. Aquamarine prevents water-retention
and is said to be a good aid to the eyesight.
When PLUTO is well aspect:
Beryl is the 'original' crystal in as much as it is
probably this stone that was used by the ancients for scribing. It
stimulates deep seated psychic abilities and clairvoyance, and is
also said to increase the will power. The elimination of things
that have served their purpose is said to be encouraged by this
stone. |
