Wearing Red Coral Gemstone with Rudraksha
Wearing a combination of Gemstone and Rudraksha is the best way to make the most of it. Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy® (RRST®) devised by Neeta Singhal makes the use of both Red Coral gemstone and Rudraksha beads. It is a holistic healing therapy that uses the curative and healing properties of Rudraksha and Gemstones to balance and energize chakras. In RRST we deal only with natural and un-treated gemstones. The reason Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy is widely acclaimed by many is that it works on chakras, the very basis of life and is a holistic therapy that heals from deep within with absolutely no side effects. In RRST setting of a gemstone, as a ring or as a pendant, the bhasm made of the planetary herb is kept inside one tube and the metal that improves the planetary effects is kept in another tube. In the case of Red Coral, Khadira Bhasm and metal Copper are used to attract the cosmic power of Mars. The gemstone is then energized with its precise seed mantra on a specific day to empower it to eliminate all the malefic effects of the planet and reinforce its beneficial effects. Thus the gemstone becomes a powerful talisman suitable to be worn by any person irrespective of his birth chart.
Recommending a Gemstone based on RRST
During the consultation, the blocked chakras that are causing the mental, emotional and physical issues are identified and limiting beliefs are addressed. Chakras become imbalanced when your thoughts and attitudes tend towards fears and negativity when facing challenging situations in life. Blocked Chakras manifest emotional disorders and physical ailments. It is only after blocked Chakras are balanced and activated that you can transform your life of suffering, obstacles, and confusions into love, success, and happiness. As per the chakra status and concerns of the client, a suitable combination of Gemstone and Rudraksha bead is recommended. As per the cosmic colour they emit, the gemstones work on specific chakras. So natural Red Coral gemstone works on Muladhara Chakra and the RRST Consultant identifies the correct finger position for drawing maximum energy from the stone. Rudraksha and Gems are powerful agents of energy and work on releasing the negative energy stored in the form of stress in the blocked chakras, thereby activating them and turning them to their natural state.
MULADHARA (ROOT) CHAKRA
Muladhara means the foundation of birth and is ruled by element Earth. It is situated near the tail bone. This chakra relates to our connection to the earth, emotional/mental health, material reality, survival, physical strength and vitality. It governs the spine, pelvis, rectum, legs, bones, feet and the entire skeletal system. This chakra helps us with stability and survival in society by achieving a stable position, work, food, money, shelter and makes sure that our basic needs of the family are met. Materialism expresses itself through Muladhara and the way we use this energy determines whether we become dependent on material life or use them for our spiritual development.
A balanced Muladhara Chakra makes you fearless by nature and also makes you safe and secure. Hence proper functioning of all the chakras ensures appropriate energy flow to all body parts including our vital organs. Thus chakra cleansing and balancing are essential to enjoy good health and happiness which translates to overall abundance and wellbeing in every sphere of life. The purpose of Muladhara Chakra is to make you get established in your being, feel cherished, precious and special and live a life free of fears and guilts. Hence, the Red Coral gemstone works great to balance the Root Chakra.
