Everybody creates their own belief system and although we try to put these systems into categories and form communities around them, our beliefs and faith are as individual as our fingerprints and DNA. They define us in all of our thoughts and actions.
Since we all have different belief systems, we can choose to judge other's beliefs or to be curious about them.
I use a method to prepare gemstones, rocks, and crystals for my friends and clients who desire for their stones to hold a certain purpose, intention or blessing. They believe that the gem, rock, or crystal has energy and will influence their life. Does it work? You will have to ask them.
UNDERSTANDING METAPHYSICAL BELIEFS
The idea that a stone can hold energy and influence is an old belief. These earthly objects, found in the ground, whether shaped or natural, have influenced us in many ways.
We spend our money on them. They inspire us to travel and collect them in all areas of the world. We are collectors, researchers, metaphysical practitioners, or we simply adorn ourselves with stones. Any one of these influences impacts our lives. Take a minute to think about why you read Rock & Gem magazine and how your relationship with rocks and gems impacts your life.
Although I do not use rocks and gems for metaphysical healing, stones do consume my life, just ask my family and friends.
Many people believe that gemstones, rocks and crystals have metaphysical properties because of their chemical composition, crystal structure, shape, color or other attributes.
