Some scientists believe humans are essentially beings of light, and light is set to become an essential energetic healing tool in the twenty-first century. Wearing colorful Pendulum gems can be a part of tapping into the energy all around us. Gems can serve as a tool when you need to amplify energy or cool down a situation. The more vibrant and brighter the color, the more powerful the gem. Intuition guides us and draws us to what color might fulfill our needs at a particular time.
All colors of the spectrum have their own vibrational frequencies, and when they are directed at the body, they can have a wide variety of positive effects. Linking gemstones to color can be a fantastic way to begin exploring how one can rebalance and restore energy. Very often, color is the main attraction of stones. Color affects our mood and our everyday experiences. Our eyes allow the color to be received and interpreted by the brain. Seeing how light reflects a stone’s color is a miraculous gift to our human experience.
