Using Gemstones in Times of Change

In this time of change, when large events are felt keenly throughout our global village, we explore how therapeutic gemstones can help us find some much-appreciated perspective and balance. Our gemstone pharmacist, Carol Jarka, also shares some good Gemstone Pharmacy News about our refreshed supply of precious gemstone combinations. We announce our first Gemisphere Workshops of 2006 and invite you to participate in a special TeleSeminar this Wednesday evening, when Michael Katz and Dr. Ada González will talk about gemstones that address the ever-changing needs of children and teens.

Radiant Heart
A combination of Rhodonite, Roselle, and Mother of Pearl, Radiant Heart comforts the heart and provides stability during emotionally challenging times. It nurtures and heals a heart that has been challenged, betrayed, or otherwise hurt.

Ruby Rose
Wearing this combination of Roselle (rounded Rose Quartz) and Ruby heals wounds of the heart, such as grief, as it soothes, mends, and strengthens the heart chakra. Ruby Rose gently massages the heart chakra, coaxing it to relax and let go of its heaviness and pain.

Onyx
Because of its beneficial effects on the root chakra, Onyx helps you become more grounded and feel more stable and secure. Wearing an Onyx necklace can help you be more focused and effective when you feel overwhelmed by the pace of change and multiple demands.

Onyx Grounding Technique
Performing this technique focuses Onyx’s energies on the root chakra to help you connect with your inherent strength and energy, adapt to challenges more fluidly, and perform multiple tasks with greater ease. It eases a sense of insecurity, instability, or ungroundedness. For instructions on how to perform this therapy, click here.

Agate
Wearing an Agate necklace helps you forge a stronger connection with the Earth and feel more grounded and comfortable in the physical world. Its earthtone colors are the same as those expressed by trees, minerals, clouds and sky, and the planet itself. When you wear Agate, you are nourished by the very energies that nourish the planet. Agate will also help your body adapt more quickly to a new environment.
 

For Enhancing Awareness

Amethyst
Wearing an Amethyst necklace can help you find perspective during times of great change. Amethyst awakens your consciousness to life's spirituality. It encourages you to look beyond yourself to the level of pure spirit and the true self. When you wear Amethyst in a necklace that lies near your heart chakra, it can also help reduce and balance emotional extremes.

Therapeutic gems can serve as invaluable tools to help us give our children what they need to grow and develop into their fullest selves. As the kids you love head back to school or simply start a new season in their young lives, we invite you to join Gemisphere founder Michael Katz and Dr. Ada González to talk about gemstones that address the unique needs and issues of kids and teens.

Growing up in modern society can be demanding—physically, socially, and spiritually. Therapeutic gemstones can help a child or teen thrive by supporting their bodies, minds, and spirits in the process of growing up. Even babies and toddlers can benefit from the support of therapeutic gems. We will discuss tips for using gemstones with kids of all ages—from the very youngest children to college-age teenagers.

There will also be time for questions and personal consultations with Michael and Dr. Ada, so please bring your questions.
