More on Emerald
Until recently, I have not used emeralds much in this lifetime for myself. Ever since a Vedic astrologer advised me not to use this stone based on my astrological chart, I have consciously avoided it. Recently, however, while working on this book, I began using a rough piece in meditation.
My emerald brought up many internal visions about the famed Emerald Tablets of Thoth, the Atlantean. These tablets, formed from a substance created through alchemical transmutation, were emerald green and revealed the secrets of alchemy, the art of transforming base metals into gold.
I feel that alchemy is a spiritual, internal quest to cleanse the soul and purify the spirit to attain a higher spiritual ideal. Gold is the symbol of ultimate perfection. I believe that rather than working with the actual metal, we are dealing with an ideal in consciousness rather than creating gold in the material world.
Although I recognize that alchemy also gave rise to our modern thoughts regarding chemistry—a fascinating subject in and of itself—I enjoy contemplating the spiritual aspects of alchemy.
Emeralds are a powerful stone of transformation and healing, shifting the person’s inner and spiritual being from one state and transforming it into another. A carrier of the Green Ray, this stone activates the heart chakra center but goes much further than that.
You may have heard about the famed HeartMath® Institute, http://www.heartmath.com/, which does research in the recently discovered fact that your heart guides you and makes decisions for every single one of your cells. By activating the Green Ray within you, a transformation occurs that allows all cells in your body to open up to what your heart knows and feels is best for your path. The wisdom contained within your own heart, embodied in all your cells, allows you to tap into your soul’s purpose in order to accomplish what the Higher Power has in mind for you. Emeralds will help you to align with your cosmic mission by aligning your being with your heart’s desire, which is truly the most powerful form of knowing there is. You may do the work in the third dimension by sitting in a physical laboratory and trying to create gold, but that is not the point of the exercise. The real work occurs when you consciously choose to open yourself up to the higher wisdom available to you through the energy of the heart.
Emeralds will help you, and it is not necessary to buy an expensive gemstone. Even the lower-grade stones will work. The Green Ray is present in both types.
Part of this journey of discovery happens through your intuition and with your intention to use the stone to transform yourself. Acquire whatever kind of emerald fits your budget, and then begin to work with it. Ask the stone to reveal the proper path for your soul to follow in this lifetime.
With gently closed eyes, you can ask your questions while meditating with emeralds. Keep a journal and record your experiences. Like many spiritual quests, if you go on this journey for forty days, you will be transformed by the end of this time period. You will learn much about yourself and those around you as a result. Clarity will prevail, and you will have a new understanding of your role in the world and how best to contribute to humanity at this time.
The emerald is one of the most powerful stones of all time, connecting us to the wisdom of the great ones in Egypt as well as to many of our most powerful and influential past-life experiences. Use emerald to tap into that former awareness and bring it into the present to help the future of mankind for decades to come. Emerald is energetically believed to be a stone for personal enlightenment. Society has many troubles with the heart center and learning how to deal with the world from a heart-centered place. As a soul, once you master the arena of the heart, you are well on your way to achieving mastery over your entire life.
How to Use Your Emerald
If you or someone you love has heart trouble, it is beneficial to keep emeralds near the heart center. You can do this in one of several ways by placing the gemstone in a pocket, wearing emerald as jewelry, putting your emerald in a medicine bag, or placing the stone on the body while resting or sleeping. Regardless of how or where you use it, just having it nearby creates positive change!
