Gemstone wearing procedure
Gemstone Wearing Procedure
The rules of Astrology clearly indicate that the nine governing planets in the cosmos have a deep significance in the functioning of human life. Each planet has a particular beneficent traits which astrology seeks to enhance and certain negative traits which astrology seeks to undermine in a quest to improve the quality of human life.
The navratnas or the nine gemstones are in correspondence with the nine different planets and each of them carry certain characteristics in sync with the ascendant planet. However, in order to reap the benefit of each gemstone, it is imperative to have a thorough knowledge of the nature of each, along with the weight and quality, the day and metal with which it is best compatible and the finger on which it must be adorned and the ideal time and ritual of subscribing to each stone.
Gemstones have a magical healing power which enables humans to overcome insurmountable obstacles and reduce the potency of adversities. However each gemstone has a vibration which needs to be invoked before its charm can be set off. In order to draw out and extract the maximum benefit of each gemstone, it is necessary to follow a strict guideline and detailed ritual before each one of them can be activated and charged, to manifest its positive aura and ward off the negative.
