WEARING CRYSTAL 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 Crystal 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 untreated gemstones. The reason this 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 the RRCT setting of a gemstone, as a ring or as a pendant, the 'Bhasma' made of the planetary herb is kept inside one tube and the metal that improves the planetary effects is kept in another tube. In the case of Turquoise stone, Bhasma and metal are used to attract the cosmic power of the stone. The gemstone is then energized with its precise Beej 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.
