Jewel & Jewel

Besides their obvious magic and beauty, gems have a vast heritage of healing power. All cultures, religions and times valued gems to prevent illness, misfortune, and to positively influence the spirit of the wearer. From the shamans of American Indians to the astrologers of Hindu cultures, from the headmen of the Celts to the ghost men of the Aborigines, they all have used stones to cure, heal and protect. Formerly a secret that was passed on from generation to generation, this knowledge has now become a worldwide movement which, across languages and cultures, is dedicated to the re-enforcement of our spiritual self-consciousness. I frequently get asked: “How could a gemstone possibly heal a sickness?” It is not the sickness that gets healed, but the host. Those who dismiss the old wisdom of healers either think science can (or should) explain all there is, or they have never been really sick (despite, or especially because of modern medicine). To start with, a gemstone influences the light pattern of your body and the energy of your aura. Depending on your constellation, your karma or your walk of life a color might be too dominant or underrepresented in you and thus disturb your inner balance. Keeping the colors of your aura in a state of equilibrium is important for your ability to keep off negative thoughts and add positively to your karma. Though we have yet to understand the connection between color and the human brain, quantum physics has come up with a first notion of how colors may influence us on a atomic level.

Here are the basics, as far as we understand them today: Matter is not as solid as it appears to us. In fact, matter can also be understood as energy stored in form of particles. All energy reveals itself in different wave forms such as heat, light or radiation. Color too is a wave form. A gemstone may thus be seen as stored energy (matter) of a certain wave length. Human emotions and physical processes are based on energy and information, which also is transferred in wave forms. Hence, colors may have a direct physical influence on the human mind and body.
