There is no general answer to the question: 'when does my gemstone start working?'. Experts say that it depends on the sensitivity of the person who is going to wear or keep the gemstone. It is about the interaction between the power of gemstones and the energy that is created. In order to use the energy of the gemstone, you should be in contact with the gemstone a lot. That does not mean taking it out of your drawer once a week and touching it. In order to absorb the energy of the stone, you could use your crystal in different ways:
- while meditating
- in your pocket
- as a jewel
- on your body
- as a home accessory
Healing effect of gemstones during meditation
By holding your gemstone during meditation, you can feel the connection with the power of the stone. Hold your gemstone with both hands and take a few deep breaths. Gemstones and crystals are said to make a meditation even more powerful. Some gemstones can help you ground yourself during meditation, while other gemstones help you think more clearly. Which gemstone you can use best during meditation depends on what you need in your life at that moment and what intention you set. You can learn from trying! Read our blog 'meditating with gemstones' for more gemstone tips during meditation.
Gemstone in your pocket
The more physical contact you make with the gemstone, the more your body would be aware of the energy of the crystal. But to put a large rough gemstone in your pocket is also not practical. Pocket stones on the other hand would be perfect for that!
Stones and their effect as jewelry
Gemstones are perfect to wear as jewelry. How about a gemstone bracelet or a gemstone necklace? There are also beautiful gemstone rings with the most beautiful crystals incorporated, each with their own spiritual stone meaning. The creative ones among us could also get started with making gemstone jewelry themselves.
Gemstones on your body
Many gemstones can be used during gemstone therapy, healing and chakra massages. Chakras are seven energy points in our body: heart, throat, abdomen, navel, head and crown. If one or more chakras are out of balance, you could feel that in your body. For example, are you struggling with something that you don't dare to say? Then your throat chakra could be out of balance. You can bring them back into balance by placing certain gemstones on your chakra or chakras. You could use chakra stones for this. These are seven colorful gemstones that correspond to the seven energy points in your body. According to gemstone experts, the gemstones and their effects would harmonize with the corresponding chakra, so that the chakras can charge themselves with new power or get rid of old energy.
How do gemstones work in the home?
Feeling at home in your own home is important. And through crystals and their effects, you could make your home an even safer haven. Gemstones could have a positive effect on the atmosphere and energy in the home. And you can put gemstones anywhere in the home!
A cleansing stone such as rock crystal could fit very well in the living room, because it has a cleansing character. Amethyst would promote a calm and relaxed atmosphere and rose quartz could provide a secure and safe feeling at home. Together, these stones form the Golden Triangle. Do you have a very large living room? Then you can also place several golden triangles in different places.
Search by Operation
Gemstones and Crystals all have their own energy vibration, because they are formed in different circumstances (temperature, pressure). This energy can connect to certain Chakras in our body, which can have a positive effect on us (and animals/plants).
