Gemstone Meaning and how to use Gemstones

How to use Gemstones

Gemstones are simply rough pieces of crystal and precious rock which have been placed in tumbling machines containing water and sand so as to mimic the natural process of polishing by rivers and streams. The end result being beautifully smooth Gemstones to wear or handle.

It is always best to take a gemstone and just roll it around in your hands, try to get a feeling for the stones energies and frequencies, does it feel powerful or subtle in its energies, does it give off an energy or does it seem more to soak up energies. Often you can learn a lot just from handling a gemstone for a few minutes.

A way to receive the benefits of Gemstones and Crystals is to hold them in your hands while practising different spiritual techniques or visualising the benefits these stones can give to you. Holding a stone and imagining better health, money arriving in your life or any other of the gemstone purposes will help. Imagination is one of the most powerful forces in the universe and mixing this with the gemstones nature can give you a very powerful energy for changing yourself and life.

Simply carrying stones can be beneficial, but thinking of their properties and imagining these helping you is the best way forward. All you need to do is find a comfortable chair or spot, relax and close your eyes holding the gemstone in your hand, then begin to let the feel and the vibrations of the gemstone fill your body and begin visualisation techniques relevant to the stones qualities.
