All creation are the manifestation of energy in various forms. And in this complex matrix of the animate-inanimate energy system, creatures interact with each other. Planetary gem therapy harnesses just this the energy connection to plug the gaps and compensate the deficits. Planetary gem therapy is the use of natural, pure, flawless and treatment free gemstones or jyotish gemstones for achievement of one's objectives, no matter what they are better heath, greater wealth, smoother relationships, getting free of debts, rewarding work, emotional wellness etc. They are packets of pure energy, sitting concentrated in small albeit powerful gems which have taken hundreds and millions of years to form in the earth. And this one vibrant object cannot be replicated (in its power) or substituted by any lab grown mineral or treated gemstones whose natural energy has already been tampered with and tarnished. Planetary gem therapy relies on Vedic astrology to provide pointers to the suitability of a gem. An individual's horoscope / birth chart is cast using the three parameters of date of birth, place of birth and time of birth. These coordinates help the astrologer in sketching the precise planetary positions at the time of an individual's birth. Analysis of this horoscope helps determine, which gemstone would help determine the individual's progress and which gemstones must be avoided. Planetary gem therapy strictly follows the grahanukul paddhati of prescribing gems. Planetary gem therapy works on the premise of passage of light through the gemstone into the human energy system via touch (barring diamond). For simple understanding of how this works let us begin with color. Color is a component of light. A color is nothing but energy of a specific wavelength and frequency. Old sacred texts have outlined gemstones attributed to each planet and how they can be harnessed for benefit. For instance, natural ruby is the gemstone of sun, natural pearl is the gemstone of moon, natural yellow sapphire is the gemstone of planet Jupiter etc. Planetary gem therapy is all about using the maharatnas - ruby (manikya), pearl (mukta/ moti), yellow sapphire (pukhraj), blue sapphire (neelam), emerald (panna), diamond (vajramani), cat's eye chrysoberyl (lehsunia/ vaidurya), hessonite (Gomedh) and red coral (moonga) or their upratnas for achievement of objectives and a richer, more fulfilling life experience. Planetary gem therapy is an excellent tool from the kitty of ancient wisdom and gives fantastic results when implemented carefully. Here's how you can make sure you harvest the best of the gems you wear.

  • Make sure you get the correct gem recommendation
  • Buy only jyotish quality gemstones ( insist on certification from an accredited gem lab for authenticity and make sure your gem is treatment free and flawless.
  • The requisite consecration of you planetary gemstone is done properly.
