For thousands
of years gemstones have played a part in all cultures through the highest
orders of religion and Egyptian Pharaohs which in both cases have been well
documented. The Egyptian High Priests believed in using gemstones to generate
the properties of certain crystals to amplify the power within to a higher
level. The Gemstone crystals most used in ancient Egypt was Carnelian, lapis
lazuli, turquoise, emerald and clear quartz.
This can be
seen within the Jewish religion where in the Old Testament where Moses was
ordered to create a breastplate (ephod), to be worn by a chosen high priest, in
which within the ephod specially held gemstones to represent each of the houses
of Israel. It was thought that God would communicate via his judgement through
these stones to denote his instruction of orders to the children of Israel.
Thousands of
years ago cultures such as the Egyptians and the Chinese long knew about the
healing power properties of the gemstone crystals. Because of the secret
knowledge of the use of the crystals, those that knew the practice were deemed
very powerful and likes of the highest orders of religion and royalty knew this
and as such ensured that they were kept close and the use of this practice made
available to the rich and powerful.
Such examples
of this practice are well known even to this very day:-
Chinese
Acupuncture using crystal needles
Pranic
healing no-touch energy healingAyurveda, Hinduism and Buddhism origin, using the art of Chakra to obtain the body and mind spiritual balance of life
The Mayans,
Incas and native Indians also shared in the power of quartz crystals for healing
on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. They also used crystals
to diagnose diseases.
Most
Gemstones are very old, sometimes millions and or billions of years old and
have endured varying kind of miraculous traumatic force of nature, that was
necessary to create them, such as earth quakes. For this
reason gemstones are very powerful and by wearing them we can be near that
power.
