We,
as human beings, receive vital rays
- subtle cosmic radiation from planets
that influence our attitudes, behaviour,
and environment. This planetary radiation
has a definite impact on our ever-changing
psychological dispositions. Stones
and gems, coming into direct contact
with the skin, exercise an electromagnetic
influence over our cells.

Utter the word astrogems, and be ready to
be labelled as "that helpless lamb who
believes in that misleading thing called astrology"
by the cynic who would also deride astrology
as "fated pronouncement of stars".But
surge a wee bit beyond the mist of pre-conceived
notions, shed that cloak of so-called "scientific
temper", and what have you? Reasons not
to blithely dismiss what were first endorsed
in this holy nation: astrogems -- known as
jyotish gems in ancient India
Common
Sense About Gems
Have
you noticed that, when our friends laugh (irrespective
of whether or not we have understood the joke
they are laughing at) we tend to laugh with
them? However, we may not be inclined to join
the laughter of a stranger sitting next to
our table in a restaurant. Ever wondered why
it is so? The infectious laughter occurs because
of our resonant empathy (common resonance
frequency) with our friends. In simpler terms,
our friends are on the same wavelength as
us.
Power
of Prayer
Similarly, when we pray, we send out appreciation,
or a request for some quality to be improved,
or a situation to learn from and, at times,
we are amazed at how wonderfully the universal
intelligence responds. However, look at it
in perspective, and things will fall in place.
What are we doing when we pray? We are actually
resonating with the abundance of divine love
and goodwill that is readily available to
everyone, and our prayers act as channels
through which the love and goodwill flow to
our near ones and us.
Did
you know that Prince Charles speaks to plants,
and that plants respond by bending and other
ways? It is all a matter of flow of energy
from the endearing one to the plants. Those
who practice positive affirmations like chanting
of mantras will testify the wonderful results
of such exercises on the body, mind, and spirit.
Now,
take a step further back, and let's move on
from smaller things to the huge celestial
bodies. Isn't it true that the Moon's major
phases have such strong effects that we are
consciously able to experience them? Sunspots,
although of minor astrological significance,
have also been shown to significantly affect
us. Thus, the basis of all our problems in
life lies in our receptivity (resonance).
As our receptivity can either be negative
or positive, reactive or proactive, we must
strive to become magnets that attract only
the positive aspects. We must increase the
positive aspect of our receptivity.
Electromagnetic
Resonance and Vital Rays
Likewise, we can benefit from the invisible
influences if we received the correct blend
of radiation that is helpful to our particular
electromagnetic 'signature' (corresponding
to our karmic weaknesses and strengths). The
real significance of karma is not in what
happens to us, but in how we react to it.
And the greatest challenge of life is to react
to events in a positive way. This is where
gems come into action. When we wear the right
kind of gems, they produce helpful electromagnetic
rays.
We,
as human beings, receive vital rays - subtle
cosmic radiation from planets that influence
our attitudes, behaviour, and environment.
This planetary radiation has a definite impact
on our ever-changing psychological dispositions.
Stones and gems, coming into direct contact
with the skin, exercise an electromagnetic
influence over our cells.
The
human body contains carbon and various metallic
elements also present in plants, metals and
jewels. People are very sensitive to E-M radiation.
If your astrological chart shows that your
receptivity to beneficial planetary radiation
is weak or out of balance, it can be rectified
and strengthened by the natural electromagnetic
radiation emanating from the appropriate gems.
Just
as we need vitamins and minerals to meet our
physical requirements, we can also utilise
different forms of invisible energy to stimulate
and aid our mental, spiritual, and physical
dispositions. Gemstones have traditionally
been used as a potent source of these invisible,
therapeutic energies.
The
Sci-Phi (Science & Philosophy) Of Gems
No detailed scientific
explanations have been offered yet to show
how precious stones are able to rearrange
and re-orient our negative karmic patterns
into positive patterns that can heal and improve
our lives. A full scientific understanding
of the healing potential of gems may well
require an unusually wide scope of investigation,
ranging from the macrocosm of astrophysics
to the microcosm of atomic structure.
Gems,
as intelligently grown crystal forms, share
- by common design - unique, patterned symmetries
in their atomic lattices that contain billions
of atoms in geometric alignment. The precise
structure adopted by atoms when they link
to form a crystal depends upon which kinds
of atoms are present at the time, which ones
end up in the crystal structure and the conditions
(temperature, pressure etc) which control
the way they link together.
