Why wear Gemstones? Each planet subjects us to certain cosmic rays. Some are beneficial while some are harmful. The ancient sages of the Vedic ages discovered that there are ways to counter the harmful effects of the stars. They believed that the best remedial agents, better than herbs, and even better than metals, are flawless (or as flawless as possible) gemstones of not less than 2 carats, which act like cosmic filters - either enhancing the beneficial rays or blocking the harmful ones. How can Gemstones help me? Ancient Vedic texts indicate that gems influence human beings both physically and mentally. They may give both positive and negative effects. It was observed that each planet is associated with a gemstone and every gemstone has inner strength to absorb radiation emitted by a particular planet. Therefore, in order to achieve maximum benefits, gemstones of astrologically identified planets are worn. Gems are like highly potent medicines, which have the inner strength to reduce malefic impacts of planets on your life while also helping to create a positive environment for happiness and development. They can improve any problem areas in ones life such as fortune, health, profession, finances, emotional issues in relationships, children’s future etc. How are Gemstones prescribed? Gemstones are chosen according to your birth chart, which is a unique signature of planetary configuration at the time of your birth. Wearing right gemstone of right weight on an identified day, of right metal, in the correct hand and finger and at the auspicious time are important elements of Gem therapy. Gems have both powers to give and take. Wearing wrong gemstones can be as harmful as wearing a right stone for good luck! How can I find out which is the Gemstone for me? You must have your chart analyzed by an astrologer. Where will I get genuine Gemstones? Jyotish or Astrological quality gems are normally available with select Jewelers.
