Precious Stones and Our Health

Precious Stones and Our Health

The first writings about the mystical effects of precious stones date from the period of ancient Egypt. Some of these writings transposed encrypted by Egyptian magicians on papyri are still preserved in various places.

Recent research in the field of crystals and precious stones has confirmed their effects, but could not provide unanimously accepted logical explanations.

One of the esoteric explanations would be that the precious stones stored in their crystalline structure the ancestral energy from the time of their formation and birth in the depths of the earth which they diffuse outwards with a certain subtle frequency of their own, corresponding to their crystalline structure.

Experimentally, it has been proven that jewelry made of stones and precious metals has not only an aesthetic role, but also a healing one. If we know how to choose them, precious stones can transform our lives.

Some of us at one point had the impression that some jewelry generates a state of well-being, while others, even if they are attractive, generate a slightly unpleasant, seemingly inexplicable state.

Specialists claim that the stones and crystals we wear directly on the skin, or mounted in jewelry of gold, silver, platinum and other precious metals influence our general mental and physical condition.

Each stone generates certain effects on the body characteristic of its own frequency of vibrations of their crystalline structure.

It is recommended that gemstones and crystals that are transmitted from one wearer to another must be "purified" of negative energies that may eventually subsist in its energy field due to previous impregnations. The places where it was, the people who used it, the events that took place around each gemstone are imprinted in its energy field and not all these impregnations are positive, beneficial.

A good specialist in crystal therapy can indicate the condition we suffer from, studying the color of the stone we wear. He will also suggest the most suitable stones or crystals for treating these health problems. For example, the ruby or coral loses its luster and color if the person wearing it is anemic; likewise, turquoise fades if its owner is in poor physical or mental condition.

Choosing the right stone

If we want to choose a gemstone that has a beneficial effect on us, we must take into account some essential aspects. Ancient esoteric science tells us that we are not the ones who choose our stone, but the stone chooses us. Thus, it is good to choose the stone or crystal that causes us a certain attraction, that fascinates us.

If we liked a certain stone at first sight or it inexplicably attracted us, it means that it is the stone that suits us. When we hold that stone in our hand, we can perceive its subtle energetic charge, feeling a state of well-being and contentment.

We also need to ask for some additional guidance on how to process the stone. Thus, it is good to avoid irradiated stones. Irradiation is a technological process that eliminates the imperfections of precious stones. The process is applied especially for aquamarine, topaz, emerald and diamond. Artificial coloring is another process that changes the energy strength of stones.

In addition, fake stones should be avoided, as they do not have a subtle beneficial energy charge. Thus, it is useful to verify the authenticity of the desired stones or crystals.

Purification of stones and crystals

After purchase, the stone or crystal must be purified from any negative energies. These energies often come from the people who carried it or touched it before us.

In crystal therapy, stones and crystals are frequently purified to maximize their characteristic beneficial energy and eliminate any negative energies.

In crystal therapy, it is said that each stone or crystal is an entity that absorbs, but also emanates the energies of the one who uses it.

There are several methods for purifying crystals

One method would be to leave the crystal in the sun or moonlight outdoors for a day. It is recommended to place the stone or crystal next to a plant, the process of energy purification will be more intense.

In the case of small stones or crystals, they can be placed in a quartz or amethyst container, which has been previously washed with rainwater.

Another method is to wash stones or crystals with clean water.

Thus, keep the stones or crystals under a stream of cold water for 10 minutes, and then place in sea water or in a container with a solution of salt water for 12 hours. The salt water solution can also be obtained by adding sea salt in a container with clean water until a salinity of 3.5% is obtained.

Increasing the energy power of stones and crystals

The sun is the best source of energy intensification, especially at sunrise. For this we will leave the stone for a few hours in the sunlight.

In order to keep their healing energies, the crystals and stones must be kept away from each other and not touched by other people.

How to use

In crystal therapy, crystals and stones of various colors are placed on the body like a map, above certain areas of projection of subtle centers of force or chakra. When we act simultaneously on these chakras, the body balances and its functions tend to normalize.

For some conditions (usually severe or chronic), the treatment is somewhat more complex. In treating minor ailments, we can use the help of precious stones and crystals, which are placed on the chakra or chakras that cause the disappearance of the disease. Each chakra corresponds to certain stones or crystals.
