My Experience with
Gemstone Therapy

by Lorraine

I learned about Gemstone Therapy in 1990 when a friend had a copy of "Gifts of the Gemstone Guardians" (now revised as: Gemisphere Luminary by Michael Katz). I asked her about it and bought myself a copy. It looked interesting. I bought some gemstone tools. I found I had more energy when wearing clear quartz but got a bit unbalanced. I then found that they were recommending frosted quartz. This worked much better.

I started going to class in Aug. 1990. I learned about quality and better techniques. I found a partner and started doing trades as well as worked on myself and friends. People were finding the same things as I was -- more energy and help with resolving issues. Often the effect was subtle. For example, I would do a therapy for a health problem and then the person would find a new doctor or vitamin that really improved the health problem.

My husband was fairly skeptical but supportive during this time. Here I was spending a fair amount on gemstones and all he could see was money coming out of the bank account. Then he had a really really bad allergy attack -- wheezing and such. He knew his normal medications didn't work very fast so he had me try gemstone therapy. I placed some carnelian on his chest. His wheezing stopped immediately. I took it off. He started wheezing. We repeated this a few times. He really didn't want to see the gemstones work (financial reasons) -- but they worked just great. He ended up taking his medications (just in case) but wore the carnelian too. This is how he learned that gemstones work.

People often ask me whether I have had miracles when doing gemstone therapy. I've seen people change. They came in wanting to change an attitude or belief when coming for treatment -- and that belief/attitude is no longer there when they leave. Sometimes they see it; sometimes they don't. I've seen gemstones remove pain after surgery so there was no need for aspirin or other pain killers. Yet, I haven't seen it be a "miracle cure" for major health problems.

The health problems took years to create -- and well, even gemstone therapy doesn't seem to clear them overnight. (I do know of cases where people who couldn't get pregnant could after gemstone therapy -- but I don't know anyone who has been "cured" of cancer from solely using gemstones in one treatment.)

I find gemstones are a great tool for personal growth. When wearing them over time they seem to really help one overcome physical problems as well as emotional ones. I feel blessed to be able to work with gemstones. For simple information on how specific gemstones work for me, please see the information on my gemstone therapy web page.

In addition to Gemstone Therapy, I've learned many other therapies to make the work I do my own. I've learned Bio-energy balancing which is straight energy work. This work has exceptional results in helping people become allergy-free. I've studied feng shui, circles of life, nutritional support, aromatherapy, and others. I integrate these modalities into the work I do.
