By Ernst: Everything in our life consists of energy. Energy is the force that keeps everything in the Universe moving. One of the important properties of energy is that it can always be converted from one form to another. A practical example of this is: when we light the stove, chemical energy (gas) is converted into heat energy.
Gemstones do not only look beautiful, they are gifts, a gift from Mother Nature, which can help with all kinds of problems and complaints of a physical or psychological nature. They help to rebalance our chakras and auras and have a medicinal effect.
Also, these gemstones can help in the spiritual growth of a person. Each gemstone has its own specific effect on our body and mind. A gemstone sometimes consists of one or several minerals and each mineral consists of a combination of elements that have their own effect. Through the skin, the energy (elements) of the gemstones is absorbed by the wearer of the gemstone. People are often advised to wear the gemstone of their choice directly on the skin, in a pocket or, for example, regularly hold it in their hands. Because the substances are absorbed through the skin and the aura, a shortage of a mineral can be supplemented or an excess can be removed. Only a minimal amount of a mineral is needed for proper functioning.
Stones can also become exhausted and then you can clean them so that they work optimally again. However, the cleaning method is different for every stone. Satin plate (also called Selenite) and Desert rose cannot withstand water, they melt away or fall apart. Satin plate charges itself and is also a great rock on which you can place your stones so that they can charge. Also, place the stones in the moonlight at full moon or bury them in the earth for a while so that the energy can be charged and then taking them out again is very effective.
Some examples of gemstones and their functioning:
Gemstones are mined and found in several countries including Brazil, Morocco, Indonesia, Madagascar and America. Gemstones also often offer protection against radiation (Black tourmaline), which we have a lot of nowadays in the form of computers, telephones and networks around us. Also, they protect against negative energy, or curses that are spoken about someone (Bronzite). Gemstones are available in raw form, as they are found, but also in cut shapes, such as animals, sculptures, moons, etc. They are also available in gemstone jewelry, pocket stones, sculptures, eggs, hearts, spheres, etc. You can also use stones in your home that keep the energy pure (Satin Plate or Clear Quartz), that help you stay close to your true self (Labradorite), Celestine (which can ensure a good night’s sleep), Ocean Jasper, which brings joy and zest for life and helps you to recover faster during and after an illness. Red garnet provides a boost of energy. Amethyst is a protective stone and purifies. The stone promotes an understanding about oneself and also helps you to be honest with yourself. Honest about behaviors that can be harmful and not in service to your highest self. It helps you to recognize and tackle addictions. Rose quartz has a very soft energy that is called the stone of the child and of the artist. The rose quartz protects everything which is small and fragile. It makes it resilient and irresistible. Rose quartz is also known as the gemstone of unconditional love. She teaches you to accept yourself as you are, so that you can also love others for who and what they are. If you are looking for friendship and love, rose quartz is the stone.
The rough version of the gemstones will provide the best result, so it works optimally, but the cut version also works fine. When purchasing a gemstone, keep in mind that not all stones are suitable for people who are just starting to work with gemstones and for children.
Please note: some minerals are toxic and it is therefore wise to go to gemstone therapy or to be well informed by a reputable gemstone trade who is well aware of the functioning of these gemstones and who can help you with a good stone that is suitable for you.
Love and Light,
Ernst
