Over the centuries, people all over the world have been intrigued by the metaphysical qualities of stones, or more appropriately called minerals. It has been recognized that everything that exists is in a constant state of vibration, and crystal structures have a particularly stable vibration that resists the influence of other vibrational frequencies.
Minerals, particularly in their crystalline form, stimulate healing based on the property of vibration or sympathetic resonance. They have very specific resonance points with one of our seven main energy centers (chakras). The colors of the stones seem to influence the qualities of the vibrations. This is more or less similar to the colors represented by the seven chakras which also coincide with the seven colors of the rainbow. (Crown Chakra – purple, Breath Chakra – indigo, Throat Chakra – blue, Heart Chakra – green, Solar Plexus Chakra – yellow), Sacral Chakra – orange and Base Chakra red). These resonant frequencies create an electromagnetic field.
If we believe that all human beings have interwoven energy bodies (human aura) beyond their physical shell, and that they are electromagnetic in nature, it naturally follows that they can be influenced by the electromagnetic resonance of minerals and crystals.
Illnesses and ailments have been attributed to disharmony in thought patterns, causing irregular energy flow within the subtle (non-physical), etheric, and physical bodies; therefore, prolonged exposure to the positive vibration of the stones can have a healing effect. In addition to their healing effects, minerals also offer protection from negativity and, in a way, bring us good luck.
Amulets and Talisman to ward off ghosts.
Certain stones, especially those of celestial origin, seem to have the power to drive away negative or unwanted energy. These are stones like those in the meteorite family (tektites, moldavites, iron or nickel meteorites) that can actually drive away evil spirits. When carved with images of the Buddha or deities, or when specifically enchanted by advanced practitioners, they can be used as very powerful talismans or amulets.
So, it is also believed that wearing certain amulets or talismans would protect you against ghosts. Additionally, some also feel that certain stones, especially the quartz family (white quartz, amethyst, ametrine, citrine, and smoky quartz) can offer the same protection. Other protective stones include diamond, pyrite, hematite, obsidian, black star sapphire, black diopside, and jet. I personally understand that stones have a varying degree of electromagnetic radiation. When worn on our body, they serve to strengthen the vibration of our body energy, as if projecting a protective shield over us.
A very powerful talisman I have is the image of the Bodhisattva of the Earth Tent (Dichang) made of tektite. I also have a bracelet made of pyrite and amber, and I used to take it with me whenever he traveled abroad. In my arsenal, I also have bracelets and pendants made of iron meteorites, and they are also very powerful to ward off negativities. Those moonstones are also believed to be good protective stones for traveling abroad, especially for crossing waters. I always carry some pieces of tumbled moonstones in my luggage.
For those who are afraid of ghosts when traveling abroad and staying in hotel rooms, they can try to arrange their shoes Yin Yang style, one with the sole up and the other in the normal position, at the foot of the bed. .
Amulets and talismans are likewise charged with strong vibrations by their creators, both monks and priests, and serve the same purpose as stones. At my level, I am able to magnetize stones and any object to give them a stronger radiation using my energizing method or chanting mantras.
spirits in stones
There is a belief that some stones contain memories of the past, while others become the abode of some forms of life, such as hermit crabs that inhabit the shell after shellfish have died. My spirit friend Stella has the ability to communicate with stones and she stated that she often saw mischievous looking creatures residing in some stones. Once I was meditating with a ball of labradorite (a kind of feldspar stone that is opaque with a luminous blue on a gray background) and I saw images of a woman dressed in a Greek robe in the middle of some Roman pillars inside the stone. She had almond-shaped eyes and well-defined features and she seemed annoyed at my unwanted intrusion. There was another stone, a piece of rhodonite, a pink colored stone with black manganese fillets, that I could see pictures of dome shaped structure. I also remembered another case when an old lady handed me a piece of jade that she retrieved from the exhumed grave of her long-dead mother, and she asked me if it was okay for her daughter-in-law to use it. The moment I picked up the jewels I could feel a painful sensation in my stomach. I asked her if she remembered if her mother suffered from any stomach ailment and she confirmed it. I cleaned the stone for her, but she told me that she had changed her mind about giving it to her daughter-in-law and she decided to keep it in the jewelry box instead. Jade is said to have the unusual quality of protecting her owner. She would break into pieces whenever the user found themselves in dangerous situations; folklore says that she blocks dangers on behalf of the owner of her.
Stones to attract fortune
The Chinese believe that wearing certain stones will bring them good fortune. Jade is the most favored stone adornment, not only bringing good luck to the wearer, but also offering protection. For those players who are always hoping for windfalls, they can wear yellow gemstones: yellow sapphire, topaz, or citrine. Some may even carry a pyrite donut along with a dollar coin in their wallet. Green stones are to attract wealth generated by running, and include not only jade but also emerald, peridot, quartz with chloride inclusions, aventurine, malachite, and amazonite. In addition to being used as semi-precious stones set in rings and pendants, some of the faceted stones (aventurine, malachite, and amazonite) can be placed in cash registers to help improve daily profits for retail businesses.
Stones and Feng Shui
Feng-Shui, or Geomancy, is a way of talking about energy as well: energy caused by the landscape, magnetic forces and flows, seasonal fluctuations in energy flows, celestial and planetary influences, and the positioning of static objects in the environment, and how your own body energy copes and resonates with all of these energy causes. The Western application of Feng-Shui is to bring a series of scientific equipment to a location and test the various forms of energy in the area. If you are sensitive to energy, you may feel the influence of “Feng-Shui” – good and bad “Chi” – instead of fully relying on the Feng Shui principles practiced by the masters. Since the stones have positive vibrational energy, they can be implemented to improve the Feng-shui of the building if they are placed in the correct position. For example, the left corner of the main hall of the house, diagonally opposite the entrance, is considered the position of wealth; To enhance positive energy in this corner, an amethyst geode could be placed. This is a better substitute for putting round-leaved plants there, as Feng-shui masters traditionally recommend. In addition to placing mirrors or wind chimes on our windows to block negative energy from some poorly shaped structures or the landscape in front of our house, we could hang faceted carved crystal balls. Against the sunlight, these faceted balls could reflect flecks of rainbow lights on the house and create a wonderful sight as they look like they are dancing on the walls.
