The Metaphysical Book of Gems and Crystals

Description

Details the powerful effects of gems as an alternative therapy for physical,
psychological, and spiritual healing • Reveals the physical, healing, and
astrological properties of over 70 minerals, along with instructions for
maintaining and recharging their powers • Examines the “life” energy of
stones, their basic vibratory patterns, and how this energy is used
therapeutically to treat various disorders • Shows how to use gems in color
therapy and to harmonize the chakras Gemstones have been used for both
therapeutic and spiritual purposes since the beginning of time and in all
traditions. Used properly, they can contribute to and accelerate healing
through the practice of lithotherapy, which uses gems and minerals to restore
enzymatic functions, and they can energize spiritual development. Alternative
medicines such as homeopathy have given prominence to the therapeutic
character of certain minerals, but the use of gemstones in expanding awareness
or establishing a holistic, energetic connection with the stone itself have
scarcely been brought forward. In this reclaiming of ancient wisdom, Florence
Mégemont explores the many potent and beneficial dimensions of the mineral
world. Over 70 precious and semiprecious stones are inventoried as to their
principal deposits, therapeutic applications, and zodiac correspondences.
Readers will discover which physical and emotional disorders can be relieved
by using which minerals and–with the application of chakra therapy–which
gemstones are indispensable to their spiritual health. While not proposing
that lithotherapy is a substitute for traditional allopathic treatment,
Mégemont shows that it can be a powerful complement to it. Additionally,
stones can act preventively, energizing both our health and spiritual
resources to a state of balance and attunement. Read more
