The Healing Power of Gemstones
It is expected that some readers will scoff in disbelief at the possibility that gemstones may possess any energy powerful enough to help people in the healing process.
This report will present scientific evidence to prove not only that stones may store and release energy but also that such energy forces may provide therapeutic benefits in terms of both physical and psychological healing.
There is much anecdotal evidence from traditional cultures about the power of certain stones.
Native American traditions, for example, speak of a particular variety of rock known as Buffalo Stone that was used in rituals to help locate the herds of bison that were vital to the livelihood of the plains peoples.
Much less speculative is the undisputed energy in such radioactive minerals as radium, as discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie in the early 20th century.
As early as the mid 18th century it was studied by Linnaeus that certain crystals such as quartz will emit an electrical charge when pressure is applied.
It was this principle, known as piezoelectricity that eventually led to the discovery that quartz crystals could be transformed into memory chips that form the basis of today's computers.
Another gemstone, the ruby, is used in the creation of lasers.
But how can gemstone energy be powerful enough to provide healing benefits? Before this question can be answered one must accept that there is an energy circulating within the human body that impacts physical and emotional health.
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian ayuervedic medicine are two modalities that are not only ancient but also gaining respect by modern medicine, which accept the existence and importance of this energy.
It is believed that individuals with extraordinary perception can observe auras that reflect the nature of this energy, and, further, that when a necklace made from therapeutic gemstones is worn by an individual, a change in their aura may be seen.
Although the effect cannot be measured by scientific instruments, nevertheless a solid body of anecdotal knowledge has been accumulated that leads to the conclusion that different kinds of gemstone necklaces generate different kinds of effects on the people who wear them.
Aquamarine, for example, is said to help people gain better awareness of their true nature and their potential for spiritual growth.
Not surprisingly, the quality of the gems in a necklace has a direct relationship to the power of its therapeutic energy.
The most effective stones, it is said, are those with the purest colors, highest degree of clarity and least amount of imperfections.
Just as, a few decades ago, the ideas of laptop personal computers, microwave ovens and laser printers seemed like inventions of science fiction writers, so it is possible that in another decade or so healing from a therapeutic gemstone may be a common, ordinary and universally accepted practice.
