Most of us have heard of the healing & magical potency of gemstones- but did you know that even small stones set in jewelery you already have can be empowered as talismans or charms of power? You can receive healing energy, abundance, emotional cleansing, empowerment and spiritual connection just by re-connecting with your favorite jewelry on a spiritual level- and I'd like to show you how in this rockin' article!
Diamonds, topaz, amethyst, sapphire, opal... these are just of few of the most commonly set gemstones in modern fine jewelery. It doesn't matter what stone you happen to have- if it's a special piece for you, there's untapped potential!
How Can Gemstones Work For Me?
Gemstones are like little (or sometimes giant!) pieces of frozen primordial energy. Like us, they each vibrate at a unique frequency which connects them to pure, cosmic vibrations that have been since eternality. Think of gemstones as little batteries that never run out of juice- connecting you to universal energy in it's most pure and intense form!
There is a mystic observation that I find to be very true in my practice: when two vibrating forces, in this case you and your stone, are placed in contact- the highest vibration (the stone) will encourage the lower vibration to raise up to it's speed. At the same time, your vibration, which may be a bit lower than that of the gemstone, will be eager to increase it's rate and kick it up a notch!
This means that simply wearing an empowered gemstone can facilitate transformation for you! All you have to do is create that connection with intention!
Step One: Get Some Research Done!
The first thing I suggest you do is find out what the generally accepted blessings of your particular gemstone are. There are countless books on the market that act as little encyclopedias for the magical and spiritual powers of certain gemstones. You can also 'dig up' lots of free info on the web. Try typing "magical properties of ______" or "healing properties of _____" into your Google.com search!
Because there are literally thousands of gemstones, it's far beyond the scope of this article to cover them all... but I'd like to share with you interpretations for some of the most popular gemstones used in fine jewelry to give you en example of what huge blessings they carry!
DIAMOND
Radiating purity and indestructibility, diamonds symbolize the central sun within us and the perfection of our Higher Selves. Diamonds aid in trust, confidence and purification. Because they flash all colors, they can help us to align with the Universal All. It brings physical strength and also well as helping to bring strength and endurance to the energies of other stones. It relieves nightmares and is also said to help release sexual blockages, helping the wearer to enjoy a brilliant sexual life.
TOPAZ
Removing negativity, topaz transforms it to joy and enhances individuality and creativity. It helps the wearer to see the big picture, understanding their own motivation and desires as well as the intents of those around them. Topaz improves the intellect, promotes health and wealth. It instills discipline and gives the wearer the impetus to act on their dreams, thus bringing them into materialization.
SAPPHIRE
Stimulating the throat and third eye chakras, sapphire enhances the intellect and expands psychic ability. It brings peace and calm. A guardian of love, it promotes fidelity between lovers, and can strengthen friendship relationships as well. It can be used in wealth magick and helps the magus to tap and send power. A protective stone, legend has it that sapphire can protect its wearer from capture, as such it is useful in legal matters.
Step Two: Cleanse & Clear
Before you connect with your gemstone in a new, more energy-aware & spiritual way, it's best to give it a good cleaning. This not only honors the power of the stone- but gives it a chance to let go of any old patterns it has picked up from being worn by you. Ideally, this exercise should be performed once a month.
* Clean the jewelry using your favorite polish/cleaner. Get it nice and sparkling!
* Wrap the piece in a soft white cloth or paper. Try to use natural cloth like silk or cotton if possible.
* Place this bundle in some sea salt for 3 days. Avoid letting any salt actually touch your piece as it may discolor or harm some stones and metals. Many sources suggest soaking your piece in salted water- I personally find that this process is too intense for some stones and may even damage them.
* Once you're done, flush or bury the used salt.
* If your piece is more an emotional, spiritual or psychic stone- try letting it soak up the light of a full moon for a few hours. If it is more a logical, physical, personal power or sexual stone, try letting it soak up the rays of the sun for a few hours!
Your stone is now clean and ready to be converted into an energy powerhouse!
Step Three: The Charge & Connection
So, now you have a beautiful stone, understand it's general properties in the spiritual sense and have it all cleaned up. It's time to wake the powers in this stone up and create a bond between you and the stone so that it can 'speak your language'!
Although some sources say that you can charge any stone to do any service- I disagree. I think it best to allow the stone to do what it naturally resonates to doing. I think forcing a stone's energy to act in a way not in accord with it's nature is like trying to force an herb to heal a dis-ease that is just doesn't. If you feel good about the stone- then allow it's positive energies into your life!
* Hold the piece of jewelry between your palms until it warms. During this time, simply allow yourself to focus on the piece and feel it.
* Once you feel the temperature of the piece matches yours- there is a connection.
* Begin meditating on the meanings of the stone, how the stone makes you feel, any psychic wisdom you receive during this time, etc. Here we are trying to connect to the essence of the stone and bring it forth. Think personally- how do the traits of this stone apply to your life? See yourself being blessed and benefited by what the stone carries- this makes a very powerful connection and really gets the stone excited to work for you!
* Feel and visualize that the piece is pulsing and glowing with light. The stone seems to be on fire- shining forth a brilliant light the same color as the stone in your hands. It carries a calm yet powerful energy which calls forth the blessings offers within your mind.
* This is a good time to pray, meditate, speak words, etc. over your piece to really seal the connection.
* Now, take a deep breath and let it slowly out onto the stone. See your breath further firing-up the stone. On your inhale, inhale light in the same color of the stone back into your body.
Congratulations! Your piece is now charged, activated and connected to you- and it can't wait to be worn to deliver all it's blessings and magick into your life!
Maintenance
Don't think lightly of it- what you now hold is powerful!
Take time on full moons, or on the day of the month you were born to spend special time with your stone. Clean, clear, meditate with, empower and thank the stone. This creates a strong relationship of receptivity and gratitude that will super-charge the effects of the piece!
Make sure to store your piece in a nice box, cloth or drawer. It is not a sacred object charged with love and Divine blessings- treat it as such and you'll be the one reaping the rewards!
Additional Ideas
* If your piece has more than one type of gemstone on it- make sure to study each stone individually, then decide with your intuition how they can 'bless well' together
* Think about the part of your body where your jewelry sits... Over your heart? On your ankle? Wrist? Neck? Think of the symbolism of these areas of your body and how wearing the stone there will effect that part of your being more strongly
* Like gemstones, metals also have a spiritual power. Explore the meanings of silver, gold, platinum, etc. by searching online. See how the metal your stone is set in and the stone itself get along together and create new potentials for blessings and empowerment!
Enjoy!
