Gem Stone Power

Gem stones have magical powers which effects on your mood and also helps you reveal tension. Learn more!

The magical healing power of crystals:

If you've heard that some one had taken an amethyst to bed with them, you'd probably think that they'd forgotten to take off their jewellery. But putting a lump of this crystal under your pillow is the treatment a crystal healer would prescribe for insomnia!!

Does it really work?

Well the only evidence we have is from the people who believe it has worked for them and this includes many celebrities. Charles Dance is convinced of the power of crystal as is Jane Fonda.

In the same way that alternative therapies such as acupuncture have become accepted by the medical professional, the day might come when to treat your flu, your doctor prescribes a piece of topaz instead of tablets. But for the present, crystal users recommended using their treatment to complement rather to replace, traditional medicine.



A gem to suit your every mood?

Agate:

Apparently relieves tension and anxiety. Use a couple of small ones as worry beads; jiggling them around in the palm of your hand.

Amethyst:

Placing one under your pillow helps you to sleep. The remains believe the amethyst prevented drunkenness and used to drink out of goblets studded with these purple gems.

Blood Stone:

Said to be a very calming stone when held in the hand, it can also help to regularise the menstrual cycle if you suffer from erratic periods.

Jade:

The stone of friendship which, as is claimed, can help you overcome shyness. Drinking water which has jade in it has been said to strengthen your body.

Quartz:

If criticism gets you down and you tend to brood, keeping one of these crystals near you is believed to bring you renewed confidence and a fresh prospective. To ease a headache, lie down and place three of these crystals on your forehead on pointing up to the crown and two pointing towards it from the left and the right sides.

Rose Quartz:

Said to help depression. Hold a piece in your right hand and think about what is making you depressed, then hold the crystal against your forehead. Breathe into the crystal and imagine that you are expelling all those miserable thoughts.

Tourmaline:

One of the most versatile gems. It's a combination of green with pink inside, symbolises the state of your consciousness and it can apparently reveal new levels of spiritual awareness. If you've been hurt by a love one, this stone's innate joyfulness is told to help heal the pain and suffering.
