The Power of Gem Stones
Introduction
For many thousands of years, mankind has been drawn to the mineral kingdom. In a time long past, the connection between our planet and ourselves was very intimate and sacred. Precious and valuable information was easily channeled to humans regarding the powerful energies possessed by the various minerals that inhabit our world, and how they can be used to keep us healthy and in touch with our essential selves.
As the human race developed, it began to lose its connection with the earth and the ability to sense the healing powers that are inherent in nature. Fortunately, scattered about the planet, were various cultures that continued to place nature at the center of their cultural and spiritual lives, and their healing arts as well.
In today's modern world, many of us sense that this connection with nature is something deeply lacking in our lives. We feel a longing to find our way back to the secrets that were once an inseparable part of daily life. The art of Feng Shui teaches us to live harmoniously with the flow of nature.
Looking to the healing power of stones is a part of that process, and is becoming an area of great interest and research in modern science. It is known that stones are created with very specific atomic structures and have the ability to channel and direct energy. You probably wear a watch with a quartz crystal inside that makes it keep time. The original lasers used rubies to direct energy. While there is still so much to learn about the qualities that stones possess, everyone seems to be in agreement that they are, indeed, powerful and hold many wonderful secrets.
It is a true blessing that all of these secrets have not been lost. We can still be guided by those who long ago recognized the hea;ing power of stones. This information must be treasured and preserved for a time when mankind moves full circle, back to the knowledge that we and the earth are inseparable, and that we are here to help and serve each other.
