GEMSTONEMANUAL That’s My Gem That’s My Gem The most important thing about crystals, minerals and stones is to remember, that they are tools that provide you with a reminder of your intentions and goals. Just as you might light a candle to help you focus on your intention or tie a string around your finger to remember something, a gemstone can provide that same nudge. These sparkling treasures from deep within the earth can help distract you from any troubling thoughts that might be getting in the way of your progress. They remind you to focus on what you WANT. FOREWORD DO GEMSTONES WORK? The short answer is yes. But, I'm guessing you aren't here for the short answer. Humans are logical creatures and, as such, we need to have meaningful experiences with things on an individual level to fully believe and understand them. To see or feel the energy of gemstones, open heart and mind: * When you focus your energy on something, it expands. * Thought and intention are like a roadmap for energy to follow. * Gemstones amplify, transform, harness and guide energy. * Wait, what does that mean? Focus Your Energy Your thoughts create your reality. You are a reflection of your surroundings and they are a reflection of you, therefore your mind is the most powerful tool you possess for directing your life down the path of your choosing. If your thoughts are filled with negativity, your world becomes filled with negativity as well, but... If you focus your thoughts and energy only on the things you want to see happen in your life and you will see these things flourish and grow. Energy Follows Intention Thoughts supplied with energy become reality. The flow of energy follows the intention of your thoughts. Learn to monitor and control your thoughts and intentions. Hold them in your mind and in your heart. Focusing your thoughts on an outcome and projecting your thoughts into a physical object—like a gemstone —can help turn that thought into a reality.
