Spiritual Jewelry: Gem Therapy for the Modern Age

The history of gemstone therapy dates back for thousands of years. It is known that the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Judaic cultures utilized gems for both healing and general enhancement of life, but it was the ancient Vedic culture of India that gave us the greatest inheritance of this knowledge. The metaphysical properties and how persons can increase their own well-being on the physical, emotional, and even spiritual planes through the proper use of gemstones is a science delineated in the Vedic scriptures to a far greater degree than the texts of any other ancient culture.

Spiritual Jewelry: Gemstones Crystals - Yellow Sapphire

Yellow Sapphire

Yellow sapphire is the gemstone recommended to be worn for Jupiter. The yellow sapphire will radiate the qualities of generosity, wisdom and compassion. It serves to strengthen the Jupiterian energy and attract the energies ruled over by Jupiter. Many times a change is effected in financial status within a short period of time. It serves to bring material abundance and prosperity, as well as a more philosophical outlook on life. Those that practice meditation find that in wearing the yellow sapphire, their ability to concentrate increases, thereby magnifying the peace and joy reaped from such spiritual discipline. Physically it can raise levels of energy, help to gain needed body weight and to strengthen the overall immune system. It also strengthens the liver and respiratory system.

Spiritual Jewelry: Powerful Magnifiers of Energy - Crystals

Crystals are tools that augment the flow of energy. They are like magnifying glasses, enhancing that which lies behind them (our thoughts, feelings, intentions and desires). This applies not only to desirable energy, however, but to all energy, both positive and negative. Through conscious use of crystals as tools, we can enhance anything we undertake. Quartz crystals have electromagnetic properties, hence their use in a lot of electrical devices. The human energy field is also electric (electromagnetic), and crystals can similarly enhance human energies.
