Many of you who come to Ohm know that I can read energy pretty easily. I have always been able to feel and sense energy, and then when I was in my mid-20s doing a lot of breathwork and meditation, I unwittingly amped up this sensitivity to a whole new level.
It was during that time that I learned something completely fascinating: jewelry holds energy, and that energy can be read. (Such a laugh, at the time I thought it was so unique that jewelry holds energy, only to realize shortly after that everything does!)
Personally, I never liked to wear jewelry. I never cared much for looking at it or shopping for it, so it was hard for me to understand what all the fuss was about. Even when I was married, I wore my wedding ring around my neck because I didn’t like things on my wrists or fingers.
But once I realized that jewelry held energy, and therefore a history, I was intrigued.
First Insight: Jewelry holds the energy of the gemstones within it.
Second Insight: Jewelry carries emotional and historical imprints.
About a year later, I ran into her. She had never returned for treatment so I was wondering if she was upset by what I said. On the contrary, she told me she had taken off the ring and met someone new within 3 weeks…no joke!
That’s why I’m telling you this story. Hopefully it sticks with you: what jewelry you wear matters. Who gave it to you and why? How do you feel about them? Jewelry is like feng shui for the body. People ask whether their $25 t-shirt makes them happy, but rarely question the $4,000 watch from a parent they can’t stand.
Third Insight: Some jewelry protects your energy; some lets too much in.
Jewelry can either shield or amplify your energy. Empaths, in particular, need to be mindful (I generally say, “be mindful, not anxious”) and a bit more selective of what jewelry they wear. Necklaces, in particular, can revive or deplete a person quite easily because of the effect on the heart chakra. I often see people wearing crystals on their throats as well, but unless it’s something like obsidian (which is grounding), this positioning of jewelry on the body for a long period of time can drain you.
Fourth Insight: Jewelry must be cleaned both energetically and physically.
Coming off of the third insight, please note that the grime, sweat, oil and other debris that gathers on a piece of jewelry mirrors the energy it has collected. Your jewelry needs regular cleansing to stay energetically clear!
Mind you, I’m not a psychometry expert, and I never spent time developing this skill seriously. All my knowledge comes from direct experience. But one thing I do know, if you have someone who is at a higher vibrational level making the jewelry, and praying into the jewelry as it’s being made, you’re already off to a better start!
Why? Because people who vibrate higher naturally radiate more love. They don’t have to know you to infuse their jewelry masterpiece with loving energy…
So whether you love jewelry for yourself, or you want to gift something special to someone else, please remember that there’s more to this type of purchase than budget and aesthetics.
The best way to select a piece of jewelry is to notice how it makes you feel. Jewelry, like people, might like the way they look great, but you get close, it either lifts you up or pulls you down. Listen to your inner being and you will know!
