Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Dear Dharma Deva Aryaji: Thank you for sharing this material. Gem Therapy is also a part of Vibrational Medicine, that is to say modalities that bring healing and wholeness via energy..as is also the case with Rudrakshas and also Reiki, for instance. Gem Therapy is a part of Color Therapy. Some theories break down all matter or even states of consciousness (moods and emotions) into energy or light and what is light but Color? The use of Gems are a complimentary system to the positive effects of the rudrakshas. In the short period of time I have been experimenting with using the gems and rudrakshas together in the malas, my feelings are as I think I mentioned before, that the rudrakshas definately enhance the power of the gems. I have further been able to discern that it seems that in turn, the gems, interact with an individual in such a way that they are perhaps more open and receptive to the positive effects of the rudrakshas, thereby assisting the effectiveness of the rudrakshas and perhaps hastening the postive process of transformation. There is a technique of recommendation used in western Color/Gem therapy by utilization of numerology, whereby a person's name can be broke down into color instead of numbers, so could also be a fun way to discern rudraksha recommendation too since the gems can be translated to the Deities and the Deities to the different mukhis. Western Color Therapy also breaks down the Chakras into color, which vary slightly from descriptions I have read in the various Vedic Scriptures.. but perhaps we are talking about realities where these seeming differences are simply superficial. Following the colors of the rainbow, the muladhara would be red and the sahaswar would be violet. Interestingly, physical science teaches that red vibrates the slowest with the color spectrum and violet the highest. My feeling are that the yogi's were correct in what they perceived as the colors of the different inner lotuses but perhaps the rainbow colors are used to stabilize and nurture the chakras. The Scriptural references to the Rudrakshas are Divine and they are a source of great inspiration and I feel should always be the ultimate authority on usage. Because the are Divine Inspired, we stand to always receive inspiration from Maha Ma Saraswati & find ever new insights from them. We are also in an era where the Spiritual Truths from all over the Planet are now being shared and we can perceive a synergy of different systems of thought as well as ancient sciences of true healing from all over the globe. Seeing also that both Rudraksha as well as Ratna therapy have been practiced in Indian for thousands of years and the effects of both are always, benign..we are only limited by our own creativity in ways that these two gifts from the Divine can be used and shared and enjoyed. All we need to is follow the Guidance of the Inner Guru. Namaste!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Dear DharmaDev Arya: The best stone to use for sahaswar would be amethyst. It is easy to get inexpensive beads. I found nice little points already set that are very inexpensive. The secondary stones would be quartz and perhaps a really neat stone called ametrine. Amethyst and Citrine are actually quartz. There is just a slight difference in the molecular structure between clear and the purple amethyst and the gold citrine. Sometimes you find a stone that has the coloring of both the gold and purple blended to gether and that is called ametrine. I have difficulty wearing it. it gets me too "fired up". Anyway Citirine is the stone for the Guru would be nice. The stone is beautiful. I don't think you would have to wear the gems in a head mala. I think just wearing them around neck would help. Let me know if you have difficulty finding anything and what in particulr you were envisioning . I as I do have some nice pieces on hand. I could sent them off to you. I really like that little Gems and Rudraksha book you sent. Seems to have different info from Rudraksha Ratna book. Blessings!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Pretty interesting stuff, back in the archives. Thanks SO much! I'm really benfiting from all the expertise, here. I'm reading slowly, to "digest." BTW-- Ametrine is, of course, part amethyst and part citrine. The citrine part WAS amethyst, but got more heat and pressure, in the formation process. So, the citrine is basically amethyst that has been more "cooked." At least, that's what a geologist once told me. Wouldn't the amethyst part enhance Saturn, and the Citrine make Jupiter happy? I LOVE ametrine, but, having a Taurus lagna, I'm advised to avoid Jupiter stones. Hope I don't sound too stupid. I'm still learning. , thunderheals@a... wrote: > Dear DharmaDev Arya: > > The best stone to use for sahaswar would be amethyst. It is easy to get > inexpensive beads.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Namaste... There is only a very small molecular difference between ametrine and citrine..and yes, one could say citrine is hotter and more refined that amethyst. Ametrine manitests differently..have seen it where it is half citrine and half amethyst, but for the most part the two colors are mixed together..where you get the beauriful purple with a gold aura running though. Therapeuticully, to my knoweledge, it is treated as its own entity and not as half amethyst and half citrine.. I don't know if it is used in Vedic astrology..am pretty certain it is not. Take care.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 hello friends - the quartz gems like amethyst, citrine and clear rock crystal are considered second or third level uparatnas or substitute gems in Vedic Astrology. This means that they have a less concentrated planetary energy and therefore, need to be worn in larger sizes or quantity to have similar effects to a primary planetary gemstone like blue or yellow sapphire. Still, the primary gem cannot be replaced in terms of real power. But the uparatna makes it possible to have something beneficial when finances are limited. But, if you can afford even a small primary gem or closer substitute, you will get more bang for your buck, so to speak. For Saturn, iolite is a better uparatna than amethyst and for Jupiter, yellow or champagne topaz is better than citrine. For Venus, wear a white (clear sapphire or topaz, for Mercury, a green sapphire, bright green tourmaline or peridot, for the sun, pink (rubellite) tourmaline, for the Moon, moonstone, and for Mars, try to obtain coral, even if it is salmon or pink rather than oxblood or bright red. Hope this is useful. alan >thunderheals > > >Re: Gem Therapy >Sun, 27 Oct 2002 20:20:42 EST > >Namaste... > >There is only a very small molecular difference between ametrine and >citrine..and yes, one could say citrine is hotter and more refined that >amethyst. > >Ametrine manitests differently..have seen it where it is half citrine and >half amethyst, but for the most part the two colors are mixed >together..where >you get the beauriful purple with a gold aura running though. > >Therapeuticully, to my knoweledge, it is treated as its own entity and not >as >half amethyst and half citrine..
