Can Gems Change Your Destiny?

There are seven planets (Rahu&Ketu being nodes), seven colours in the vibgyor and seven energy centres in the body also called as chakras. Chakras are responsible for the health of the related body organs. Each planet is associated with a specific colour and each chakra is also assigned a specific colour.

Planets are constantly in motion at different speeds around the earth. Just like the sun, these too emit cosmic rays of different colours and wavelength. When a person is born he gets different rays of different colour and wavelength in different amounts depending upon the position and condition (combust, retrograde etc.) of the planets. This is depicted as placement of planets in the birth chart. This is also reflected in the different colours in the aura of the person. Some colours may be pre-dominant and some may be missing depending upon the cosmic rays emitted from the planets. When there is a balance in all the colours, the person is healthy and of sound mental health. Imbalance can cause disorders and diseases. This can be rectified by using gems.

Gemstones are natural inorganic minerals with a fixed chemical composition and a specific internal crystal structure. Some gem stones are derived from plants, for example Amber which is made of tree resin; pearl derived from molluscs, coral obtained from tiny marine animals called coral polyps. Gems are also made artificially in laboratories. They can be cut and polished to look like real gems. Each gem has a special degree of hardness, optical properties and specific gravity. Each planet and each chakra is associated with a specific gemstone. The colour of the gemstone is similar to the planet and can help in the rectification of imbalance caused by the cosmic rays of the planet.

For example: Sun-Red-Ruby, Mars- Orange-Coral, Mercury- Emerald-Green, Jupiter-Yellow- Yellow Sapphire and Saturn-Blue-Blue Sapphire.

How does a gem work?

Gems have the ability to absorb and then channelize the cosmic rays coming from the planet. When the light falls on the gems, they absorb only the specific colour coming from the planet. After absorbing colour, it is channelized to the energy centres through the smaller energy centres present in the fingers. Although, gems can be worn as a pendant or as wrist band, yet they are best worn on the finger. Each finger is associated with a specific planet. For example-

Index finger-Jupiter,Middle finger-Saturn,Ring finger-mostly all planets.

How to choose a gem?

This is the most important and difficult part. The horoscope of the native is studied and the following parameters are taken into consideration: –

1. The ascendant sign.

2. The Sun sign.

3. The Moon sign.

4. The planet which is natural benefic for the native but is weak in the horoscope.

5. Constellation in which the planet is placed is also taken into account

6. Placement of the planet whose gem is to be selected. etc.

Once the gemstone is decided it is worn after cleaning with salt water and chanting the mantra of the related planet. If the gemstone is chosen in the right manner it can definitely help the native to lead a healthy and prosperous life. It is a simple and effective means to change one’s life condition. The application of gemstones seems to be scientific and aids the people for control of their problems and diseases with no harmful side effects.
