Talismans


Gemstones were used as common medicine in the Middle Ages. They were crushed into powder and administered to patients. The wealthy people of India still use this method today, using a drink made from hot milk and crumbs of grated ruby, emerald or sapphire. According to Eastern beliefs, every stone has a soul, and can collect, store and emit beneficial energy. The healing power of the stones comes from the resonance of its energy on humans. Depending on the vibration of the accumulated energy, the corresponding stone can work positively on the body, mind or human emotions.
Eastern philosophies, based on chakra theory, claim that each color of stone corresponds to the color of a specific chakra, or energy point in the body. With crystals you can meditate, you can wear them, “recharge” when needed. Before each use, the stone should be thoroughly cleaned, preferably by washing it under running water. Sunlight or moonlight and starlight can be used to enhance the positive energy flowing from the stones. Just expose the stone to them for 15 minutes a day.
One of the simplest rituals uses mountain crystals: put the mountain crystals in oil for a few hours, and use this oil to massage the body to improve the functioning of all the chakras.
