Jewelry made from natural and semi-precious stones embodies romance, brings positive energy and health, and has its unique symbolism. Natural stones confirm that "there is no greater artist than Nature". They possess a special power that can heal the body and soul.
Their healing power lies in the energy they contain and the vibrations they emit. These capabilities help restore disruptions in one’s energy fields. Natural and semi-precious stones are born from astrology, esotericism, religion, and even homeopathy.
Although pessimists may call stone healing a modern phenomenon, this practice has quite deep roots. One of the oldest Indian philosophies, originating more than 5000 years ago, is based on the holistic healing power of stones. It is called Ayurveda.
Lithotherapy (from Greek: lithos - stone and therapia - treatment) has been around since the time of Theophrastus (372 BC). It uses pure natural substances. The vibrations of the stone are almost identical to those of humans and therefore can stimulate energy flows in our bodies.
Many of us have heard that silver water kills bacteria. This is another type of "medicine" used in lithotherapy - energy water. To gain healing properties, water is poured into a glass jug and various stones are placed in it - such as quartz, alexandrite, and amethyst.
After staying in the sun for twelve hours, the water is already charged with healing properties and can purify the body and boost the immune system. Other advice includes wearing stones as jewelry to protect against illnesses, evil and more.
Lithotherapy is still not practiced a lot in Bulgaria. But let’s see what the main types natural stone healers are.
Natural stones and crystals have been used since ancient times. Historical sources describe the use of crystals in Sumerian, Egyptian, and Ancient Greek civilizations. Crystals and natural stones are also mentioned in the Bible, the Quran, and other sacred texts.
There are historical records of their use for healing purposes between the 11th and 19th centuries. Interest in them was revived in the 1980s with the so-called New Age culture.
Crystals are formed from solidifying ions, molecules, or atoms. They arrange into a regular, repeating structure, forming a crystal lattice.
Most people associate crystals solely with jewelry or their metaphysical properties. Without them, there would be no smartphones, watches, or even computers! Quartz crystals, for example, are used to give the correct frequency to radio transmitters, receivers and computers.
It can be said that we influence everything, and everything influences us. We are all connected.
Natural and semi-precious stones vibrate at a frequency that is almost immeasurable. With the help of Kirlian photography, it has been established that when a person holds a pure quartz crystal, their electromagnetic field doubles in size, or in other words - the aura expands.
The healing power of stones is due to the energy they contain and the vibrations they emit.Thanks to their healing abilities, stones restore the disruptions in our energy fields. When a stone is placed in the area of a chakra, it helps it to function properly.
Sometimes the color of the stone corresponds to the color of the chakra.If you want to experience the healing power of stones, all you have to do is wear the stone you have chosen close to the part of your body that needs healing.
