GEMS FOR HEALING

"Gemstones are the reservoirs of cosmic colour frequency"

-Dr. Benoytosh Bhattacarya,

author of Gem Therapy

Gems for healing works with the understanding of subtle energies. Subtle energies are defined by Professor William Tiller

of Stanford University as "all those energies existing beyond the four known to present day science". Subtle energies

are the energies of consciousness, or that which has awareness and exists separate to physical manifestation.

If one has a mechanistic view of reality, if one accepts the modern science and medical viewpoint that we as humans are composed of nothing more than a collection of atoms, molecules and tissues, and organs, that after a brief period on earth all turn to dust, then the comprehension of gemstone therapy in its various forms will not come easily. 

"Knowledge comes from space; our vision is its most perfect set. We have two eyes:

the earthly and spiritual. It is recommended that it become one eye. Universe is alive

in all its manifestations, like a thinking animal.Stone is a thinking and sentient being,

such as plant, beast and a man."

-Nikola Tesla

If however, one has an expanded view of reality, which forms the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the ancient Ayurveda of

India, and all other systems of true spiritual knowledge, the concept of the subtle vibrational field emanating from the gem

raising the frequency of out of balance and polluted human energy fields, through sympathetic resonance, is a Divine

blessing for the ills and woes of humanity, as well as activating consciousness and optimizing potential in those who are already well

How can a gemstone heal the body/mind/spirit? In spiritual science, or the science of consciousness, gemstones are considered

the highest evolution of the Mineral Kingdom. The Mineral Kingdom is the first evolving realm of consciousness, upon which the

other universal realms are based. The physical outward expression of the gemstone relates to its mineral composition, to the presence of trace elements giving the gem its unique colour, to its geometric atomic structure, the presence of inclusions within the gemstone, and other factors. As in the vegetable kingdom, the animal and human kingdom, and beyond, the physical form is the vehicle through which the consciousness expresses through. The consciousness has its own qualities and properties, and it is primarily the high subtle vibration of the consciousness in and around the gem crystal that conveys the powerful healing frequencies which can bring balance to mind, body and soul.

Gemstone bhasmas or ash are part of the ancient ayurvedic pharmacology of healing. For those that have worked with these specially prepared alchemical substances made directly from the pulverized gem, the incredible "magical" healing power of these substances is quickly noted. Gem bhasmas are considered the deepest and most rapid acting of all the ayurvedic pharmacology which is in itself vast. Once again, the preparation of the ash from the gemstone is activating the consciousness of the gem, tapping into the divine created power within, and it is this potency of vibration that is primarily responsible for the remarkable healing effects gem bhasmas have on so many ailments of body and mind.

Gemstone Elixirs made from the gemstone, by placing the gem in water as a carrier of frequencies for many hours in sunlight along with other activation procedures, also results in highly vibrational healing. We have gemstone elixirs available upon request.

For those that have explored subtle energy healing, or vibrational medicine, it is surprising or perhaps unsurprising if one understands the vibrational potency of gems how often gems or gem based systems are utilized. The wonderful system of Harmonics developed by the late Dr. Mel Rees, chiropractor (who along with Dr. De Jarnette, developed the great gift to humanity, the system of Sacro Occipital Technique, SOT chiropractic) is a form of gem therapy. Dr. Rees's harmonics work with tiny gemstone particles embedded in circular harmonic discs activated through specific subtle energy procedures. 

The gemstones, primarily the seven considered in ancient Vedic science to be the most powerful representations of the seven planetary energies.(see home page) when for the most part untreated, radiant, transparent and vibrant, are there to be our friends, to be with us through times of elation and happiness and success as well as through life's challenges and obstacles.

 In Tibetan medicine the single most powerful way to attract health and wellbeing is to wear the correct resonant gemstone. The reason being that the wearing of the correct gem is said to attract the subtle frequencies of the seven planetary energies which from the time of our birth influence our karma, on all levels: health, position in society, success, relationships, wellbeing.

The implanted nucleus in a cultured pearl can be up to 90 percent of the pearl. Keshi pearls have no implanted nucleus, Keshi pearls are of all different shapes and colours, with a beautiful lustre.
