You have probably heard that some gem stones have the ability to help us in certain situations in life and have a positive effect on our health. The reason is that those gems support the energy flow in the subtle energy centers in the body, which are called charkas in India. Let us describe the relation between gem stones and the charkas, so that you can choose the most appropriate gems for yourself.
First energy center, Mooladhara. Gem: coral
This energy center is situated right under the sacrum bone. It gives us the purity and innocence of a child, wisdom and discretion. When these qualities are developed, one feels pure joy that we all used to feel in our childhood. Coral helps one improve the Mooladhara charka and thus to manifest all these qualities in our life. If one feels lack of joy in life or has difficulties in choosing the right decision or wants to improve the ability to maintain balance then one should use coral jewels. One can wear coral on the wrist, on the neck or on any part of the body.
Second energy center, Swadisthan. Gem: amethyst
This center is located in between the groins. It carries the quality of creativity and, to manifest it, this center develops pure (that is true) knowledge and pure attention. In order to clear out the impure knowledge and negative energies, one can use amethyst. Are you nervous, do you feel difficulty to concentrate your attention or to find creative ideas (be it at your work, in the kitchen or anywhere)? Or do you feel it difficult to protect yourself from negative energies that come your way? If so, you can use amethyst. If you have an amethyst in your room, do not forget to put it in the water and then wash it and wipe dry once in a month. That will clear the stone so that it can be used again to clear your energy system.
Third energy center, Nabhi (Manipur). Gem: emerald
This charka is situated at the center of the stomach. It is the source of inner peace, generosity, hospitality and self-mastery. If one wants to achieve inner peace and self mastery, one should wear emerald on the left middle finger. If one wants to become more generous and to improve one's material well being, one should wear emerald on the right middle finger.
Fourth energy center, Anahata. Gem: ruby
This is the center of the heart. By this center we feel pure love, that is just love without any expectations. It also makes one fearless, self-confident and independent, lets one feel the joy of the spirit. Ruby supports all these qualities, besides it helps blood purification. If we want to be full of love and compassion, open-hearted and at the same time independent, we should wear ruby on the left little finger. If we want to balance our sense of responsibility, to improve our relationships with the father of brothers, to live an ideal life, then we should wear ruby on the right little finger.
Fifth energy center, Vishuddhi. Gem: sapphire
The place of this center is at the jugular notch. This is the center of pure brother-sister relations. It gives one the ability to speak sweetly, softly, from the heart. At the same time, it helps us to maintain the state of uninvolved witness in various situations in life and thus to find the best solutions. If we often feel guilty or inferior, it should be helpful to wear blue sapphire on the left index finger or on the left wrist. If one's speech is too harsh or loud, if one wants to become more sweet and diplomatic, one should wear sapphire on the right index finger or the right wrist.
Sixth energy center, Agnya. Gem: diamond
This charka is situated at the center of the forehead. It gives one the qualities of humility and forgiveness. It also helps one to be in the state of thoughtless awareness and to become more compassionate. Diamond supports these qualities. Do memories of your past occupy your attention more than the present? Do you have negative feelings when you wake up in the morning? Then it will help you to repeat often "I forgive myself" and to wear a diamond ring on the left ring finger. Or do thoughts about the future always occupy your mind? When you go to bed, can't you fall asleep even after one hour? Do you feel it difficult to forgive others? Then during the day repeat often "I forgive everyone" and wear diamond on your right ring finger.
Seventh energy center, Sahasrara. Gem: pearl
The place of this center is in the limbic area at the top of the head. It is the source of the state of meditation, that is a state of thoughtless awareness. This is the last center, the "gate" which, when opened, allows our limited individual awareness to merge into the unlimited universal being. It gives us silence, joy and happiness, allows us to feel absolute freedom and to achieve self-realization. Pearls support all those qualities. If you feel that you haven't yet achieved the state you should have achieved or you feel like living inside a shell. If you can't understand your own value, if do not feel integrated inside emotionally, physically, mentally or spiritually. That is, if you do not feel the endless peace and serenity of a drop that has reached the ocean, that means that you haven't yet experienced the self-realization that one achieves through Sahaja Yoga. But no problem, you can try it right away online at one of the Sahaja Yoga web sites. After having that experience, wearing pearl jewels will help you to further develop the qualities of this charka.
