At Lightstreams we have been studying gemstones and their therapeutic
uses since 1990. We soon found that most people were having a
difficult time understanding how a small stone or necklace could
have any effect on their lives. So in 1993 we started teaching
the basic principles of gemstone therapy. It was also necessary
to teach a little about the energy systems of the various bodies.
We consider the physical, emotional, memory, mental, and spiritual
bodies to be separate for the purposes of understanding how the
various gemstone therapies work. The energy systems include chakras,
meridians, auras, as well as more physical systems such as the
lymphatic, circulatory, endocrine, and nervous systems. These
are all controlled and influenced by electrochemical and electrical-magnetic
fields of energy. These fields are influenced by high quality
gemstones due to their clear rates of vibration, similar to the
way that a vibrating tuning fork will start another tuning fork
of the same frequency to vibrate. The simplest therapy is to wear
a necklace of a gemstone which either you or a therapist has chosen
to best match the vibratory rate of the issue you wish to work
with. This issue could be physical, emotional, mental, spiritual,
or any combination.
The gemstone training classes are divided into three sections.
The first section is called Basic Gemstone Therapy and covers
six commonly used gemstones and their therapeutic applications.
One gemstone is covered each week. Topics such as chakras, energetic
bodies (auras), sensitivity to gemstone and human energy fields,
are also covered.
The second section covers a group of 12 gemstones, and covers
vibrational healing, body energetics, and the use of intention.
Elementary diagnostics and how to select the proper gemstones
for an issue is covered.
The third group of eight classes is called Colored Stones. Gemstones
are selected for the color (vibrational frequency) that they carry
as well as for their overall vibratory rates. It covers color
theory, the color ray gemstone necklaces, and many gemstones not
covered in previous classes.
The classes are set up so that at least 50% of class time is experiential;
including sensitivity training, handling the gemstones, and actually
using them in a therapeutic setting.
Classes are held week nights from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. at Lightstreams,
Seattle, Wa. Call 206.932.1671 for more information.
We are currently creating a workbook to enable people to learn
gemstone therapy at home.
We have recently formed a new internship program where graduates
of the gemstone course can attend advanced classes in gemstone
therapy as well as use the therapy rooms here at Lightstreams
to treat clients and practice with each other.
