May you walk the earth Mother balanced and grounded.
I enjoy using gemstones and crystals to balance and clear my chakras (pronouced "shockras"). The energy that all stones contain is very powerful and benefical. Gemstones have been used in several cultures since the beginning of civilization.
The people of the planet are beginning to utilize the energy of gems for healing and reuniting themselves with the earth mother. Below is a list of several gemstones and the properties within each of them. I will also list which of the chakras the particular stone activates. To those of you who do not know, chakras are little wheels of energy that
move along the spinal column. One can use the stones to tap into this energy, remove blockages, and balance the energy. When a person's chakras are misaligned, it can really upset them. People tend to get sick easy, have emotional problems, or feel weak and tired. For more information on this please feel free to check out my reading list which has books on this subject.
