Effects on Human Body
Scientifically, Gemstones influence our mind, heart and the entire body as they work on different Chakras(energy centres of the body). Gemstones can help awaken our awareness of the psychological, spiritual and emotional aspects of ourselves. There are many ways in which gemstones can be worn. They are worn as rings, bracelets, earrings, neck pieces(necklaces/Malas) and as amulets. Mostly they are polished and are cut precisely to enhance the reflection of light from them. What makes a gemstone distinct, fascinating, and exotic are its color, cut, transparency and vibrancy.
The core strength of gemstones lies in the colors they emit. Sun rays passing through a gemstone make it emit a cosmic color that is absorbed by the body Chakras. They are widely used to heal physical, psychological and emotional sufferings.
Characteristic properties of gemstones make them valuable, favorable and irreplaceable in the healing of diseases. The body needs all 7 color rays: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each color ray is connected with one or more of the Chakras. Aura, the etheric body or bio-magnetic stratum, is a subtle energy field that encircles one’s physical body. With the color ray in favor of a particular Chakra, you can quickly heal the associated areas and organs.
Gems, as specified by the ancient rishis and seers, possess the ability to avert negative influences of planets and enhance the positive attributes. The colours and vibrations of specific gemstones directly correspond to the colors and vibrations of different Chakras.
By wearing Gemstones touching the skin in particular fingers or as bracelets or pendants, we improve the transmission of cosmic colour rays radiated by the planets which are condensed by the gems and transmitted to the body thus empowering the specific Chakras in our ethereal body. Chakras are ruled by Gods and planets and once empowered; the individual imbibes the strength, courage, support, luck and other blessings from the divine energies to achieve success.

Vedic importance of gemstones: Quotes from Rig Veda
Of the seven important gemstones, each one for each planet, may the almighty lord bestow upon us the appropriate one out of the three ( the best, the good and the average) categories. Gemstones empower a person by their supernatural effects.
The native (who wears the gemstone) seeks planetary clemency and favour through prayers performed for him by learned brahmins, and through the use of gemstones.
May the Sun God, who controls our existence and prosperity in this universe, grant us the required funds. Since we offer prayers to 'Him', may he keep intact our savings meant for the purchase of gems.
Thus properly prescribed gemstone is capable of driving away the influence of witchcraft and will subdue my enemy.

How Gemstones Work and How to Choose The Suitable Gems- Part 1
Gemstone Inclusions and Their Types
When a gem has another gem mineral formed inside it, in the world of gemstones, it is called as an inclusion. And such mineral irregularities are common and naturally happen during the evolutionary stages of a gem. There are cases when one finds crystals, liquid, gas bubbles, or air bubbles in gemstones. A gem inclusion is a great help in finding the authenticity of gemstones. With the help of advanced microscopic tools, one can detect those inclusions, meaning the gemstone is natural because it is not easy to create inclusions in synthetic stones. A gemstone without a tinge of inclusion is the rarest of the rare. But if there are natural inclusions in a stone, that can be considered as the inclusion created in a natural process. Some people don’t like a gem with inclusions, while some are absolutely fine with them as it gives them a feel-good factor of owning a natural stone.
Types of Inclusions in Gemstones:
Solid: It is when a gemstone has a solid object inside it being clearly visible. Liquid: It is when the host gemstone is has cavities filled with liquids such as water, carbon monoxide, saline, etc. Gassy: When the stone has gas inside the cavities creating air bubbles. The commonest example of a gas is carbon monoxide gas.
Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy
Sakhashree Neetaji's Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy is believed to be a highly effective way to tap into the power of gemstones to change one’s life. And with good reason too! This unique therapy involves accurately recommended specific Rudraksha and gemstones for chakra balancing, transforming belief systems, dissolving chakra blockages, and opening doors to both personal and professional success. With hundreds of positive testimonials, reviews and feedback for this therapy, it is hard to ignore the fact that it truly does have the power to change lives.
“Planets put all of us into adverse situations so we can learn to face challenges, overcome them, and emerge as a stronger person. However, many of us are bound by fears that restrict our true potential. Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy is the science of using specific Rudraksha and Ratna on a person so that 100% of their properties are utilized, and their powers can change emotions, fate, circumstances and path of the planets in the wearer’s favour”, states the expert Neeta Singhal.
For this task, specific Rudraksha and Gemstones are used based on the blocked chakras identified, the horoscope and the ultimate goals of the wearer. The wearing methodology is also very important, and so the stringing method is critical too.
A typical session involves a one-on-one conversation with the client wherein problems are discussed, issues are diagnosed and blocked chakras are identified. Based on the existing problems and the desired outcome, gemstones and Rudraksha are expertly strung so the client can wear them as early as possible and positive results can be noticed in as less as a week’s time.
While many clients turn to Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy to see success in their career, studies, inter-personal interactions and love life, an equal number of clients depend on RRST to find relief from health ailments. This therapy is believed to be a holistic cure for a wide variety of diseases, including, chronic headaches and backaches, digestive problems, allergies and skin problems, depression and insomnia and several kinds of psychiatric problems as well.
The reason Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy is widely acclaimed are many as it works on chakras, the very basis of life, and is a holistic therapy that heals from deep within with absolutely no side effects. What’s better, it is a one-time investment as the bracelets, rings and pendants containing Gems and Rudraksha are worn for life and continue to work their magic. In all earnestness, this holistic therapy costs just a fraction of what one ends up paying for traditional remedies, and is also a practical solution for those who don’t have the time to engage in meditation, yoga and yogic therapies every single day to balance their chakras. RRST maps your chakras to correct fingers and body positions. According to your specific concerns, you are recommended a RRST combination in form of bracelet, ring or pendant which needs to be worn on a regular basis.
Besides planetary gemstones, bhasma made of the planetary herb is kept inside one tube and a metal that improves the planetary effects is kept in the other tube of the gemstone jewelry. Gemstone is then energized with a precise seed mantra on its particular day that enables it to eliminate all malefic effects of that particular planet and reinforce the benefic effects. The first century Greek metaphysical philosopher Agrippa describes: "When any star ascends fortunately we must take a stone and herb that is under that star, and make a ring of the metal that is suitable to this star, and in it fasten the stone, putting the herb or root under it, not omitting the inscriptions of images, names and characters”. The following table summarizes the precious gemstones with their connected planet, cosmic color, metal, Beej mantra and Bhasm.
At Rudra Centre we have done a deep research in the usage of gemstones and how they affect chakras of human body.
Wear the stone recommended exclusively for you. We examine your chakras and planetary effect to pick the most suitable gemstone combination for you.
