AboutThe Gemstone Project is a journal of observations and experiences gained from wearing, gazing at, meditating on, holding, and otherwise working with particular gemstones. Born from a personal project, anyone who is interested is now invited to participate!
What I am doing, and suggest for anyone who wishes to join, is finding or purchasing the gem best suited to a particular purpose, or which most speaks to me at the time, wearing or working with it for at least a week, then posting my feelings, reactions, and observations of the gem's effects on me (and others if applicable).
I am trying to experiment with at least one new stone per month.
None of this is "set in stone" ofcourse (ha ha :). For example, if this morning you pick up a rock and your arm tingles all the way up to your elbow, then go ahead and post about it today!
Compare and contrast! A gem that does one thing for me, may be different for you. I would like to see what we have in common, and what we don't.
A few things you may want to consider while working with a stone:
- How do you feel when holding this stone?
- How do you sleep while wearing this stone?
- Do you notice changes in your body while you are using this stone? Such as: heart rate, blood pressure, fatigue, vitality, bleeding less or more when cut or menstruating, headaches, joint pain, etc...
- Does this stone affect you differently at different times of the day or month? Phase of the Moon?
- Do certain metal settings, or being kept in a bag seem to "block" the flow of its energies to you?
- Does the stone work as well in your pocket or purse, as it does against your skin?
- Does wearing this stone with another type seem unsettling, or enhancing to your work with it?
- Do other people or animals treat you differently while the stone is with you?
- Does your personal preference or dislike for the color/appearence of a stone seem to change its effectiveness for you?
- Do your experiences with the stone match what you've read?
- Was the stone useful for the purpose you intended, or did you find it wanted to "work" another way?
