Healing Color Therapy and Powerful Gemstones!
Use Gems to bring Health and Happiness
There would be several times in your life wherein you will be attuned and drawn towards a certain color/colors. These colors may be the feature of your apparel or your dwelling, your vehicle etc. Generally these colors make way into our life to balance one aspect of life or another. Our system consists of energy centres called as Chakras and when a certain color is used more often it just means that our system needs more of that color to bring about balance, harmony and homeostasis in our life.
Even though arts like Astrology and Numerology give general indications about appropriate colors for us I feel that one should trust the instinct more than anything else with all colors except Black.
Your system will be naturally drawn to Black especially when Saturn periods are operating and it is one color that does not help during this period. Whichever color you mix in black will become black. Black stands for passive and cold energy. I have noticed and statistically found that most people running through the 7 ½ year Saturn cycle are drawn towards black.

Yes, I understand that Black is the most fashionable color and the most loved color in the modern world. But really it's not a good choice in Saturn periods. It causes more depression, anxiety and a feeling of being lost.
Color therapy has been used by healers, mystics through the ages. We find certain colors find predominance in festivals and major events of our lives such as weddings, funerals, religious rituals etc.
Implementation of gemstone color therapy can increase focus, concentration and balance several negative aspects.
Gems work by color therapy and hence are very effective. Here you will find a brief description of what each color represents and associated gemstones. You can use these basic principles to achieve balance, stillness, peace and harmony.
