East Indian religions embrace the
concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the
entire cycle of cause and effect (i.e., the cycle called samsa-ra)
originating in ancient India and treated in Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and
Sikh philosophies.
To understand karma you must understand cause and effect. What
you give, you also receive. Your own actions determine the type of karma
you are creating for yourself. Positive actions or deeds will bring
positive results. When you do something good, you will get something
good in return. The same applies when you do something bad or negative,
you will in turn, pull in something bad or negative. This is what is
generally understood as “karma”.
Karma is not a moral issue, it is a natural law. It has to do
with the balance of all and has nothing to do with the process of
punishment or reward for your actions.
The idea of karma was popularized in the Western world through
the work of the Theosophical Society. In this conception, karma is
affiliated with the Neopagan law of return or Threefold Law, the idea
that the beneficial or harmful effects one has on the world will return
to oneself. Colloquially this may be summed up as “what goes around
comes around.”
Karma can be balanced or eliminated by living a diligently
loving, faithful, sincere, honest and devoted life and by taking
responsibility for your actions that may have had a negative effect on
others. This can also be referred to as mindfulness, or devotion.
If all your actions are based on the understanding that what
you do to others , you are essentially doing to yourself, then you would
be much more likely to live a life that creates a loving, prosperous
karma for yourself.
The primary focus of some therapeutic gemstones is to help
resolve limiting karmic patterns. Working with these gems can help
transform negative behavior patterns, break bad habits, and eliminate
destructive relationship dynamics. They can also help resolve the
negative patterns that perpetuate physical or mental conditions. The
results are a greater sense of inner freedom and improved vitality and
health.
- Change self-destructive habits
- Climb out of a rut
- Develop new, healthier ways of relating to others
- Eliminate the behavior patterns underlying an unwanted physical condition
- Break free of a pattern of destructive relationships
- Align your dreams with your life path
I have chosen here some stones that can help you to balance
your life in such a way that you will break negative patterns and
create a more loving environment for yourself and those around you.
Rhodochrosite
helps develop inner freedom by neutralizing the destructive behavioral
patterns that restrict personal growth and undermine physical health.
Rhodochrosite's energy comes like a storm: it destroys negative
patterns, sweeps away emotional "clutter," and works with you to build
healthier patterns. By helping resolve inner conflicts, Rhodochrosite
encourages all aspects of your being to work together with a unified
focus. It imparts self-confidence as it helps you realize your power to
transform your life.
Blue Chalcedony
is a very good balance stone. When there is a need for softness in the
auric field, at times when stresses amount and one’s center begins to
wobble, Blue Chalcedony can restore calm and balance allowing one to
center in the present and not worry of the future. It helps alleviate
worry and anxiety as well as irrational anger or fear.
Emerald is a
beautiful water element stone that has wonderful effects on the
emotional and physical body. It brings an energy of hope, encouragement,
gentleness and abundance into one’s auric field. Emerald stimulates the
physical heart and clears the emotional body of patterns of
victimization and rejection. It allows him to forgive and find truth and
love within himself and others. This is good for letting go of unwanted
negativity, anger and fear, and opening up your heart for true love and
compassion.
Lapis Lazuli
helps one move one’s consciousness beyond the mundane and allows one to
identify habits, patterns and lessons one may have difficulty
perceiving consciously, and which may be blocking one from making
spiritual progress. Lapis Lazuli is a stone of self-knowledge and
reflection. I gives you an expanded view of your motivations and
beliefs.
Turquoise
is a stone for finding wholeness and truth, it is also an aid in the
communication of those abilities. Turquoise teaches the wisdom of
compassion and forgiveness and offers one the opportunity to experience
the insight that enlightened selfishness is identical with kindness and
generosity. Turquoise demonstrates that when one releases one’s
insistence on ‘justice’ and views others through the lens of compassion
and forgiveness, one immediately receives those gifts in return. Thus
the most generous gesture toward others also brings about what one most
desires for oneself. Not only that- such actions are contagious and
self-reinforcing!
