Everything in, of, and on the earth is made up of and emits energy. Thought
patterns, emotions, beliefs ? they are all made up of sheer energy. Gemstones are
no exception to this obvious law of the universe.
Astrological signs are each credited with certain types of gemstones that are
beneficial to those born under that sign. Many are familiar with this birthstone
concept. The gemstones mentioned in Exodus 28:15-30 could quite possibly be
the original twelve birthstones. Historically, the High Priest wore a breastplate,
called an Ephod, adorned with twelve gemstones that represented the twelve tribes
of Israel. The Ephod was used for oracular (meaning, an oracle) purposes, to
discern the will of God. When questions were asked through the oracular process,
the divination of the answer was received via the glowing of light coming through
a particular stone embedded on the breastplate.
Verdic astrology attests that wearing a prescribed gemstone can aid a person in
overcoming an obstacle in their chart. However, the popular list of birthstones we
are all accustomed to are not necessarily the best gemstone to help one overcome
any negatives, or promote any positives, within ones birth chart. The energy
emitting from the stone itself, which changes the vibrations within the person
wearing the stone, should create a more harmonious union with the other energies
produced and received by the body.
Stones, like people, are individual and seem to carry their own personality, but
most certainly exude unique character and energies. The pattern of energy a
gemstone sends out consistently can affect one?s emotional and mental energies.
Over time wearing a certain gemstone can induce lasting changes. As the gem is
worn it continuously vibrates at its own level, giving off its particular energy, and
is absorbed into the aura of a person. The protection aspects of the aura then
become stronger and more powerful, either through spectrum effects or radioactive
effects.
Selecting a Gem to wear that is right for you should be chosen with one goal in
mind ? to increase one?s positive efficiency or to reduce one?s negative deficiency.
Some gemstones will help heal what ails you. Some will aid in clarity or
concentration. Some are even good for business! It is important to match the stone
you choose with the essence of who you are, and what your needs are.
Some of the common stones you might want to consider wearing are:
> Red Coral ? A warrior stone, the Red Coral is known to instill courage in the
wearer.
> Emerald ? The royal green Emerald is attributed with promoting brain
power, but is also known to decrease the libido.
> Yellow Sapphire ? Known for its healing properties, the Yellow Sapphire is
also attributed with bringing the wearer success and honor!
> Cats Eye ? The Cats Eye negates evil and the disease given by Mars.
It is strongly suggested that before a gemstone is chosen to be worn some good
research on gemstones be done! There is ample information available on the
internet to educate you, so that you can choose the gemstone that is right for you.
