Healing stones transmit their energy through color and vibration. Experience their healing force in the body and learn to recognize the effect of gems and color
Almost anyone can appreciate the color of healing stones, but to experience the power of their vibrations, one has to actually make sense of them. We can consider all physical, intellectual and psychic processes, all sensations, thoughts and feelings as chemical reactions within the body. These consume and create energy. Sometimes there can be too much energy in the body and at other times too little. Many colors emit positive energy; others have an equalizing effect. By properly using color, one can regulate the bodyâs energy level, making up for deficits or siphoning off excesses. That is why certain colors appeal to people in certain situations. The colors of healing stones work on the human organism and psyche. The intense play of light of gemstones can have a calming or stimulating effect; it can purify or heal.
The frequencies of light that stones emit are particularly important. They have a direct influence on the bodyâs biochemical processes. In addition, stones reflect the bodyâs chemistry. Stones consist of crystals whose smallest singular component is the atom. These are in constant motion. But because the vibrations of energy are not visible, stones seem to be solid objects. Their energy can be positive, negative or neutral, but only by its effects can this be known. Just as one feels more or less comfortable in certain environments, one can feel positive or negative vibrations from contact with certain stones.
*Meditations on gemstones can lead to physical health, psychological balance, self discovery and inner clarity.
The Effects of Color
The Indian Ayurvedic tradition teaches us that the health of the body and mind is dependent upon a number of factors: our thoughts, dreams and attitude towards work, our environment, neighbors, pleasant and unpleasant sounds, smells and colors as well as influence of gemstones and crystals. I this holistic conception of the human person, color play a particularly important role. All of the colors of the spectrum that we see in the world around us find a perfect correspondence in the microcosm within each of us. In ancient cultures, people would paint themselves with bright colors to connect with the mysterious strength of the soul. They understood that each color has a deep inner meaning. This still holds true today, even though much of the ancient knowledge concerning these matters has been lost. Color has a healing effect not only upon the soul but upon the totality of the human organism. To fully grasp the healing power of color one must study the different colors and their properties.
