Healing with gemstones spiritual power
Gemstones have long been used to stimulate psychic abilities and to enhance spiritual growth. The use of minerals in the Israeli breastplate as spoken of in the Bible perhaps best exemplifies this custom.
The choicest gems have traditionally been used to embellish temples, churches, and other sacred places. Religious symbols have often been carved onto minerals. Various religions have consistently included gemstones in describing the heavenly abodes.
The gemstones listed in the New Jerusalem from the Book of Revelations expresses this custom. Many different minerals open one to the spiritual realms. There is also some fascinating material in the Steiner teachings on our spiritual connection with the mineral kingdom.
All gemstones may be used as focuses of meditation for amplifying their abilities to stimulate healing within the body physical.
The primary beneficial result of isolating the healing properties of specific gemstones is that this allows individuals to have knowledge of themselves as fully integrated beings in mind, body, and spirit. To understand these capacities within the self amplifies the individual’s ability to eventually experience all healing within the self, for this is not based upon systems of magic.
Magic is only that which is unknown to man and seems to be as beyond the concepts of conscious knowledge.
One suggested technique using gemstones with meditation involves the following: put a gemstone in front of you in a device such as a copper pyramid.
Then sit in a chair or in the lotus position in front of the gemstone and concentrate on attuning to its thought amplification abilities.
To enhance its properties further, place the gem on a spinning device. This creates an electromagnetic field. To bring the properties of the gemstone into a particular part of your body or to send them to another person, mentally picture the mineral’s properties traveling to that area.
It is also wise to face north when meditating with gemstones. This aligns individuals with the Earth’s natural magnetic forces.
Many minerals have information stored in them by people in past civilizations.
The primary suggested meditation to retrieve information stored in minerals is to learn which chakra each stone corresponds to. Then meditate upon the stone, perhaps in the presence of quartz. This sensitizes the individual to the forces of the stone and its properties.
This practice balances the stone to interplay with the forces of the chakras. Isolating certain musical properties in association with each of the specific chakras brings about balance to such a degree that individuals can experience complete resonance with the stone.
Pitches for activating the stone could as come through manipulation of the vocal cord for the specific pitch and quality of that stone. Intone each octave vocally with the OM
that corresponds to each stone according to its chakric implications.
For instance, in the lower part of the eight-note scale we find the lower notes. Thus, the lower pitch of OM is associated with Aries, and we find the application of diamond. By starting at Aries, which is the first sign in the zodiac, you are also starting with the deeper pitches of OM. Each sign has a specific pitch associated with it. The further up the musical scale you go, the further you go around the zodiac.
Higher pitches activate different minerals, chakras, and astrological signs. This is a simple way to link music with the chakras, gemstones, and astrological signs.
Individuals can also use mandala patterns to retrieve information from gemstones.
