Does Gemstones Really Work?
Can Gemstones Really Influence Us? Exploring Their Efficacy
Gemstones have been a centre of attraction for humans for centuries. But, are the physical attributes of these gemstones the only reason that people invest so much in them? The significance of gemstones goes beyond their external beauty and has a direct influence on our lives.
Hello, I am Dr. Radhika A. Jain, an internationally renowned astrologer and Vastu expert. With my expertise, I’ll guide you through the profound significance of gemstones beyond their external beauty, delving into how these precious stones directly influence our lives through the lens of astrology and energy alignment.
So, without further ado, let’s get started!
What are Gemstones and their benefits?
Gemstones are natural minerals formed deep within the Earth’s crust. Each gemstone, from radiant diamonds to tranquil sapphires, possesses unique qualities shaped by geological processes. Beyond their physical allure, gemstones hold cultural significance and are believed to have metaphysical properties. As an expert, I can attest to the enduring fascination and value that gemstones bring to humanity, both aesthetically and spiritually.
Gemstones are said to have multiple life-enriching benefits, a few of which are:
- Grant the blessings of the corresponding planetary Lord of the gemstone
- Heal physical and mental illness
- Relieve stress and grant inner peace
- Restore balance in the body
- Energise the body chakras
- Impart strength, courage, and clarity of thoughts
- Help gain stability on physical, mental, and intellectual fronts
In spite of gemstones having such benefits, many people have a tough time believing in their effectiveness just because it falls under Alternative Sciences. Some sceptic people call the workings of a gemstone merely a placebo. Though in recent years the scientific reasoning behind the effects of donning gemstones has started being recognised.
Scientific and Vedic Reasons for Wearing Gemstones
The benefits of gemstones have been recorded ever since the Vedic Ages wherein Vedic Astrology, Gemstones have immense importance and proven to be a great remedy against the malefic effects of planets or the various Doshas in a person’s horoscope.
According to the Vedas, it is known that if a planet has positive energy at the time of the birth of a person, then that planet proves to be beneficial for that person. However, if due to the planet’s placement or affliction, it becomes weak, then wearing a gemstone can be worn to make the planet’s affliction towards the person stronger according to his or her Horoscope, thereby having positive results in the person’s life.
In recent years, pioneers in the field of gemology have spearheaded exhibits showcasing the scientific principles underlying the effects of gemstones on our mind, body, and external environment. One notable case study, conducted by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), elucidated how specific gemstone compositions interact with light and energy fields, potentially influencing human well-being. Through rigorous research and experimentation, these exhibitions shed light on the tangible connections between gemstones and their profound impact on holistic health and environmental harmony.
One of the prominent reasons for wearing a gemstone is that it receives cosmic energies through colour-coded frequencies better known as Colour Therapy, which seep into the body and cure the troubles around you through the cosmic rays & the positive energies of it.
Modern Science’s take on Gemstones
Modern Sciences believe that certain colours have amazing effects on our body (physically and mentally). Shades of green, red, blue, purple, and others can emit rays that control the behaviour and response of your body. This benefit stems from the fact that the sun is the source of all energy related to colour and lustre. Since gems have both these attributes, they respond positively to light. If you observe the sun’s rays through a prism, it will reflect a seven-colour spectrum with two invisible colours- ultraviolet and infrared. The nine colours together form the cosmic matrix that works as the essence of our solar system. All nine planets resonate with the energies of these colours.
The wavelength of coloured lights emanated from the planets matches the radiation from their corresponding gemstones. A gemstone absorbs these cosmic and solar energies when they pass through it and seep into the body. This invokes a positive response by restoring chakra balance and leading to an improvement in health conditions.
Apart from colour frequencies these healing rocks and crystals have their particular vibration and frequency, which arise from their molecular composition. From the way they move and interact, these vibrations and energies work in benefiting and uplifting our mood, mind, and health in a considerable manner, often in the way essential oils and aromatherapy work. Acting like a magnet, it can absorb the negative energies and welcome fresh vibes.
Since they are all naturally extracted, they harness the energies of the sun, moon, and oceans (all-natural healing energies) to improve our state. Used in a certain way, it can also improve your concentration and creativity. It can also promote physical, emotional and spiritual cleansing. Gemstones vibrate at the same pitch as humans and maximise the healing abilities we already have. Because of this comforting feeling, when you place a crystal on the body, it helps you connect better and feel at ease.
Parting Words
Gemstones can be extremely effective considering the cosmic energy they possess and the positive effects of colours they behold. But, it’s also important to understand the requirements and relevance of each before actually wearing them or investing in them.
