Gemstones as Tools for Healing & Awakening

Paradigms of Healing

What distinguishes traditional therapies from biochemical medicine? ( better known as Western Medicine) The main difference is in their paradigm of healing. While biochemical medicine has its roots on the validity of the physical tangibility of the physical body with the premise that “nothing exists if we can’t see, touch it or can’t be measured by our scientifc apparatus”, the traditional therapies such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, & Naturopathy, apply the paradigm that there exist non-physical bodies known as the Subtle Bodies. These bodies are non-physical because they are made of less gross and less dense subtances. These systems of healing integrates these concepts in their diagnosis and application of therapies.

The Fourfold Model of the Subtle Bodies

The Human Subtle Bodies Model adopted from Dr Samuel Sagan

Physical Body: Is the body we are familiar with in our daily physical exisitance.
Etheric Body: This is the body which many would call the energy body. In traditional chinese medicine, it is where the meridian channels with “qi” runs through, and in the Indian models where “prana” runs in the nadis channels.
Astral Body: Is the body where our thoughts and emotions come from. The brain in the physical body does not orginate the thoughts, but is simply a reflection organ where thoughts and emotions come through.
Higher Ego: Technically, this is not a body, but refers to our Higher Self, or spark of Higher consciousness.

Biochemical Medicine – Pros & Cons

Whereas in Biochemical medicine where the concept of healing is based primarily on the physical body and the physical body is viewed as a mechanical machine with its separate parts that come together to function as a whole, Traditional medicine go beyond the physical body and takes into consideration the entire set of the subtle bodies. Its view of healing is holistic and places greater emphasis on the inter relationships between the parts to achieve balance of the overall organism, and thus diagnose and treat from this different perspective. Biochemical Medicine has brought us many benefits and has merit in its system, but the blind faith and rejection that nothing exists beyond the physical is what causes it to operate on a very dangerous and unethical level. Where a community of people is so arrogant of their ignorance, and so sure of their beliefs, and are unwilling to consider any theories or paradigms beyond their belief systems, is where they could do the most harm without knowing or acknowledging it.

Here is where ordinary folks can use their common sense and personal experience to verify results and benefits for themselves, and not have blind faith on medical personnels.

Gemstone Healing – working on the level of the Etheric body

Gemstones like medicinal herbs such as Ginseng work on the energetic level – i.e its effects are on the level of the etheric body & beyond. Therefore there is nothing hocus-pocus or placebo about gemstone healing. As surely as certain plants from the plant kingdom have therapeutic properties, so do certain gemstones from the mineral kingdom possess therapeutic properties.

Gemstone Healing – The Gemisphere Model

You are a Being of Light

From your innermost essence to your physical body, you are made of and nourished by a continuous flow of life force. This life force is a current of light which springs from the source of life itself. When it flows freely, you experience joy, vitality, and vibrant health.

In the natural course of living, however, various blockages accumulate within this flow. These blockages create dark clouds within you. They obscure your radiance and give rise to disharmony, pain, and disease.

Gemstones Embody Life Force

Like us, the Earth is enlivened by life force. As the Earth was forming, life energy was infused into the planet’s crystalline matrices. Thus, the Earth’s gemstones came to embody and express the life force within the planet.

Gemstones Dissolves Blockages

Gemstones radiate their life force with great power. When used properly they can bring light into areas of darkness and neutralize blockages within your being. As these blockages dissolve, the light of the life force can once again shine through to enliven, nourish, and heal you. Each type of gemstone expresses a different frequency; therefore, it can address a different kind of blockage.

Energy Flow in a Gemstone Sphere

Gemstones not only contain life force, they also transform it into gemstone energy. In a gemstone sphere, life force is continually drawn in from the entire surface of the sphere to the sphere’s center. As it moves toward the center, the life force becomes more and more concentrated. This concentration fuels the transformation of life force into gemstone energy and causes the gem’s energy to be unleashed with great power.

When a gemstone is cut into a sphere, the life force that is contained within its crystalline form—and that once possessed all the love and power of creation—is still present. A sphere represents wholeness and infinite potential. Cutting gemstone crystals into spheres unleashes their potential to heal and uplift the whole person.

They treat your whole being

You are a complex spiritual organism comprised of many dimensions, physical and nonphysical. Gemstone-sphere necklaces can directly affect all these dimensions. They are the easiest and most holistic way to experience the therapeutic benefits of gemstones.

They fill your aura with energy

When gemstone spheres encircle your neck, their energies can radiate into your entire subtle-energy field, or aura. Your aura is an energetic reflection of your physical body and inner aspects. As a gemstone’s energy fills your aura, it gains entrance to both your physical and inner dimensions, where it can work directly on dissolving blockages.

They respond to your needs

Your aura also contains a wealth of information about you. When your aura is saturated with gemstone energy, this energy is drawn back to the spheres carrying the aura’s information with it. The gems respond to this information and adjust their energy flows according to your needs. As long as you wear gemstones, their energies continually flow into your aura and back again, working at ever deeper levels. In this way, they gradually dissipate the energetic clouds and other blockages that obscure your natural radiance.

Not all gemstones are therapeutic-grade

Therapeutic-quality gemstones are those which meet the high standards for physical purity and quality set by the Gemstone Guardians. For every gemstone there is a different set of criteria which makes that gem therapeutic.

Mission vs Effects

While a gemstone’s mission never changes, different people can experience a variety of effects from the same gem. For example, the mission of Dark Green Aventurine is to cleanse discordant energies from the body’s weakest organ. Yet, its effects vary from person to person according to his or her needs: in one person, it might cleanse the liver, in another the kidneys, and so on.

Understanding a gemstone’s mission, and not simply its effects, provides a deeper and more holistic vision of how to use that gem most effectively. Alongside each necklace’s photograph, you’ll find a summary of its mission to help you select the necklaces most suitable for you.
