Gemstones are the life force of the mineral kingdom. They are said to be
storehouses of cosmic energy radiated to earth from the cosmos and the other
planets in our solar system. In a way they are a connection between the Earth
and the other heavenly bodies. In Ayurveda and Vedic Astrology it is taught
that gems will harness specific energies that will have the power to enhance
the overall quality of a person's life.White light is divided into the
seven rays of visible color (as seen in the rainbow), as well as two rays that
are invisible, infrared and ultraviolet. In Ayurveda the proper balance of
these rays in the body is an inherent part of both physical and emotional
health. Whenever there is a lack of any of these cosmic rays within the body,
disease begins to manifest.
These cosmic rays are stored in great abundance within natural gemstones
and can never be depleted, even after years of use in gem therapy. Actually,
the color we see a gem to be is not necessarily the cosmic color that it
radiates. A simple experiment of viewing a gem through a prism will reveal the
actual cosmic color. Ruby is actually red and emerald green, but diamond
radiates an indigo color, blue sapphire a violet color, pearl an orange color
and many others actually transmit colors now seen to the naked eye. When used
in healing practice the gems will release the concentrated colors to the
physical and ethereal body.
Ayurveda and Vedic astrology speak of using specific applications of gems
for amplifying cosmic rays. A dynamic effect on one's physical and emotional
health and wellbeing is brought about when gems are correctly prescribed and
utilized. Nine specific gems are used that transmit the nine specific light
rays of visible and invisible color. These gems' healing qualities have been
written about in Ayurveda for thousands of years. Following are the cosmic
colors transmitted by these gems and just a few of the myriad benefits of each
to improving and maintaining health.
Ruby (transmits red color) transmits a powerful solar force that is
warming and stimulating, promoting blood circulation, strengthening the
heart and the flow of energy within the body.
Pearl (transmits orange color) transmits a gentle lunar force to cool
and lubricate. It can counter dryness, strengthens the respiration and
soothes the emotional self.
Red Coral (transmits yellow color) transmits a heating and strengthening
force to the blood, muscles and bones. It is said to also be able to
strengthen male sexual energy and is used as a remedy for impotence.
Emerald (transmits green color) transmits a cooling energy that will
relieve pain in the body, calm tremors and calm mental nervousness. It
promotes healing of burns and wounds and many other skin disorders such as
eczema.
Yellow sapphire (transmits blue color) fortifies body tissues in general
and promotes vitality and longevity of life. It is wonderful as a general
"tonic" for strengthening the body and has shown particularly dramatic
results in the elderly.
Diamond (transmits indigo color) is energizing to the body and mind. It
will strengthen lung function and is also used for female sexual problems
from infertility to lack of desire.
Blue sapphire (transmits violet color) cools, cleanses and detoxifies
the body. It has a phenomenal calming energy that in clinical treatments
often puts a person to sleep, only to be awakened with freshness and
increased vigor after only 20 minutes.
Hessonite garnet (transmits ultraviolet) strengthens and detoxifies
nerve tissue and the endocrine system.
Chrysoberyl cats-eye (transmits infrared) increases heat in the body and
removes toxins from the nervous system.
Gems are most effectively used in specially formulated "gem therapy" lamps
and the most advanced usages also utilize an electronic medical instrument
that imposes an additional vibration upon the light as it passes through the
gemstone and is beamed on the body.
Leading resort spas are using these instruments and lamps for calming and
energizing, as well as for increasing elasticity of skin. Specific spa
treatments have been developed and now used in conjunction with massage,
facials and other popular spa treatments. At a recent Resort and Medical Spa
exhibition one such instrument made by Balaji Gem Instruments, called the "Navaratna
Gem Lamps" attracted crowds as they were giving complementary treatments to
spa owners and attendees to show how effective this therapy is.
A prominent publisher of a European spa magazine proclaimed his belief that
"this kind of gem therapy is the medicine of the future". Not only are natural
health practitioners such as naturopaths, Ayurvedic practitioners,
chiropractors and doctors of oriental medicine adding this therapy to their
practice, but a few progressive allopathic physicians and surgeons as well, we
feel that his comment could well be quite prophetic.
Just as ancient Ayurvedic healing is being embraced by numerous other
practitioners of different he ... |
