WEARING MOONSTONE WITH RUDRAKSHA

Wearing a combination of Gemstone and Rudraksha is the best way to make the most of it. Rudraksha Ratna Chakra Therapy® (RRCT®) devised by Neeta Singhal makes the use of both Moonstone gemstone and Rudraksha beads. It is a holistic healing therapy that uses the curative and healing properties of Rudraksha and Gemstones to balance and energize Chakras . In RRCT we deal only with natural and un-treated gemstones. The reason Rudraksha Ratna Chakra Therapy is widely acclaimed by many is that it works on Chakras, the very basis of life and is a holistic therapy that heals from deep within with absolutely no side effects. In RRCT setting of a gemstone, as a ring or as a pendent, the bhasm made of the planetary herb is kept inside one tube and the metal that improves the planetary effects, is kept in another tube. In case of Moonstone, Palaash Bhasm and metal Silver are used to attract the cosmic power of Moon. The gemstone is then energized with its precise seed mantra on a specific day to empower it to eliminate all the malefic effects of the planet and reinforce its beneficial effects. Thus the gemstone becomes a powerful talisman suitable to be worn by any person irrespective of his birth chart.

RECOMMENDING A GEMSTONE BASED ON RRCT

During consultation , the blocked Chakras that are causing the mental, emotional and physical issues are identified and limiting beliefs are addressed. Chakras become imbalanced when your thoughts and attitudes tend towards fears and negativity when facing challenging situations in life. Blocked Chakras manifest emotional disorders and physical ailments. You can live a successful, loved and happy life only after your blocked Chakras are activated and balanced. As per the Chakra status and concerns of the client, a suitable combination of Gemstone and Rudraksha bead is recommended. As per the cosmic color they emit, the gemstones work on specific Chakras. As Moonstone works on Swadhisthana Chakra (Sacral Chakra) and the RRCT Consultant identifies the correct finger position for drawing maximum energy from the stone. Rudraksha and Gems are powerful agents of energy and work on releasing the negative energy stored in the form of stress in the blocked Chakras, thereby activating them and tuning them to their natural state.

SWADHISTHANA CHAKRA:

Swadhisthana Chakra means “residence of the self’’. It is the seat of the Identity, it can bring body, soul and spirit in perfect harmony. This Chakra element is water, hence it refers to clarity of mind but may get distorted by emotions.

When this Swadhisthana Chakra is blocked/ imbalanced, fears and insecurities grip you. You may feel abused, hurt and confused and won't believe that you may be loved for being the way you are. You fear to take risks in life and often end up problems.

A balanced Swadhisthana Chakra makes you fearless by nature and also makes that you are safe and protected. You are creative and have a trusting nature.  You have a strong sense of your sexuality and recognize it as one of your most powerful creative energies.

Hence proper functioning of all the Chakras ensures appropriate energy flow to all body parts including our vital organs. Thus Chakra cleansing and balancing is essential to enjoy good health and happiness which translates to overall abundance and wellbeing in every spheres of life. The purpose of Swadhisthana Chakra is to make you get established in your being, feel cherished, precious and special and live a life free of fears and guilt’s.
