Question:
Hello I found your email while I was on your website. I was wondering about gem stone rings. While wearing the ring does the stone have to touch the skin in order for benefit of the stone?
thanks
Erol
Answer:
Hi Erol,
thanks for your interesting question. Indeed this is a kind of question that needs some elaboration. The straightforward answer would be Yes, one should provide a skin contact. But, on a second thought, the things are not so simple.
Actually it boils down to knowing the exact mechanism of interaction between the energy field of the gemstone itself and the energy field of our body. Although not known exactly, we believe that the mechanism of this interaction requires no physical contact. The way we usually think about this interaction is that all crystal are a sort of focal points of cosmic (universal or subtle) energy. This energy is called prana in the terminology of the Eastern spiritual teachings. So, all crystals, minerals, and semi-precious stones (but also gemstones in particular due to their almost perfect qualities) are capable of receiving this energy, enhancing it, and transmiting it to our suble energy body (etheric body) and to the energy centers - chakras located there. If this is indeed true, then obviously it should be enough for the stone to be close to our body, not necessarily to touch our skin.
For most practical purposes, however, it is better to establish a skin contact, whenever possible. With gemstone rings, this would likely not be the case. However, if the metal band is not completely covering the gem from the back side, the energy emanating from the stone will be able to flow freely toward our body and it should be quite sufficient to get the full benefit a given stone can bestow upon us.
With love and light,
Olga
