Over the last four decades I have had a lot of fun trying to explain a science that is for the most part greatly misunderstood and supported by books that in my view are wildly far from the mark on how gems or minerals can greatly help us. to help overcome this obstacle I have written this FAQ for www.astrogems.com
Can you in as few words as possible explain how Planetary gems work to mitigate or nullify negative Karma ?
Without electricity our bodies are dead and all electricity and energy has a frequency vibration. Our electrical body leaves at physical death and becomes our astral body. So though we discard our physical body our electrical body stays with us even though we may think we are more physical. At conception our electrical/astral body leaves the astral world and comes back into the physical fertilized egg.
Paramahansa Yogananda said all our past good and bad thoughts, deeds and actions are recorded vibratorily in our chakras awaiting resonant stimulation by planetary radiations or astrological resonance to manifest as a karmic return at a later date or life.
All planets have gravity and consequent magnetospheres as they orbit in the solar system.
Their powerful magnetospheres constantly send out planetary radiations which are diluted in different ways depending on other planetary movements and house location, These radiations find almost zero weakening resistance while travelling through the vacuum of space. They permeate our electrical body and depending on the karmic recordings of past actions in our chakras will or will not resonate and electromagnetically manifest a cosmically predetermined karmic symmetry.
Certain planetary gems or crystals are unique in that like magnets they have an alignment of the electrons in the crystal axis.
Multi-gem bangles can act like breakers in an electrical circuit that can supplement, modulate and transfer vibratorily a benign frequency to our electrical body and in turn greatly lessen our complex negative karmic signature, that would otherwise resonate to harmful planetary radiations.
While eliminating or mitigating our tendency to experience negative karma, they also uplift the vibratory signatures in the chakras to attract more positive karma. Once the planets have moved through a destructive or difficult cycle (transit) in our horoscope, that predestined karma cannot return or lurk for a later time. Yogananda wrote in a chapter he called "Outwitting the Stars" from the brilliant spiritual classic "Autobiography of a Yogi".
" By a number of means - by prayer, by will power, by yoga meditation, by consultation with saints, by use of astrological bangles - the adverse effects of past wrongs can be minimized or nullified......"
"The pain which is to come can and should be avoided"
- Patanjali, Yoga Sutras 2:16
This condensed explanation is not made up by the supportive research of forty years of observation by Astrogems but summarized from words by Swami Sri Yukteswar and Paramahansa Yogananda via the brilliant spiritual classic "Autobiography of a Yogi" and other books written by them.

Man is a miniature of the universe in which he lives. His basic composition - of which his physical body is merely a gross manifestation - is his astral body formed from the thoughts of God and structured around and from the creative forces and consciousness in the spiritual eye and the subtle cerebrospinal centers. The spiritual eye has a correspondence with the cosmic sun; and the six - twelve by polarity - spinal centers (medullary, cervical, dorsal, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses) correspond to planetary influences representing by the twelve zodiacal signs of astrology. The astrological stars of a person are nothing but an environment he himself has chosen by the karmic pattern he has fashioned by his past-life actions. According to his karmic pattern he is attracted to be reborn on earth at a given time that is favorable to the fulfillment of that pattern. In that sense, astrology is only a very poor way of finding out what one's past karma is.
'Then, dear Master, why do you want me to wear an astrological bangle?'
I ventured this question after a long silence, during which I had tried to assimilate Sri Yukteswar's noble exposition.
'It is only when a traveler has reached his goal that he is justified in discarding his maps. During the journey, he takes advantage of any convenient short cut. The ancient rishis discovered many ways to curtail the period of man's exile in delusion. There are certain mechanical features in the law of karma which can be skillfully adjusted by the fingers of wisdom.
All human ills arise from some transgression of universal law. The scriptures point out that man must satisfy the laws of nature, while not discrediting the divine omnipotence. He should say: 'Lord, I trust in Thee, and know Thou canst help me, but I too will do my best to undo any wrong I have done.' By a number of means - by prayer, by will power, by yoga meditation, by consultation with saints, by use of astrological bangles - the adverse effects of past wrongs can be minimized or nullified.
Just as a house can be fitted with a copper rod to absorb the shock of lightning, so the bodily temple can be benefited by various protective measures. Ages ago our yogis discovered that pure metals emit an astral light which is powerfully counteractive to negative pulls of the planets. Subtle electrical and magnetic radiations are constantly circulating in the universe; when a man's body is being aided, he does not know it; when it is being disintegrated, he is still in ignorance. Can he do anything about it?
This problem received attention from our rishis; they found helpful not only a combination of metals, but also of plants and - most effective of all - faultless jewels of not less than two carats. The preventive uses of astrology have seldom been seriously studied outside of India. One little-known fact is that the proper jewels, metals, or plant preparations are valueless unless the required weight is secured, and unless these remedial agents are worn next to the skin.'
