Diamonds are… everywhere!
By Miss Psychette, of http://psychedinstilettos.com
Forget digging deep for diamonds – according to the latest scientific news, billions of them can be found lying right on the earth’s surface. The catch? “They’d make good engagement rings for an ant”, according to one scientist. In other words, they’re microscopic – and surrounding the rims of craters where meteors crashed to earth.
Knowing that a diamond is a gemstone with magical properties the same as any other stone, I was immediately fascinated to know what sorts of vibes all these little sparklers could be magnifying out in the geographic zone they’re found in (which is, would you believe, Siberia).
The traditional birthstone for Aries, diamonds are believed to open various chakras, banish fear, stress and worries and improve respiratory problems, while enhancing self-image, confidence and vitality.
That sounds pretty awesome. Imagine having an enormous one sitting on your bedside table, ‘working’ on you while you sleep… then again, I suppose that’s why so many people choose ‘diamonds forever’ (wearing them on their wedding bands, next to their skin). I know that when I’m performing energy-work, a friend says the diamonds in my rings emit their own violet aura.
The really interesting thing about diamonds is that their symbolism turns up in every culture, religion and society in some form or other.
Diamonds brilliantly emit thousands of dancing rainbow lights, which can easily be likened to the multi-faceted aspects of your own personality and soul, and the earth and universe itself.
Some believe our goal is to walk an honourable path which will allow our souls to shine and sparkle as brightly as diamonds, despite the fact there may be twists and turns on the way (representative of the angles and facets of the diamond). The Native American Indians viewed the triangular diamond motif as butterfly symbolism (transformation and immortality), while the ancient ‘Diamond Sutra’ (discovered in a cave in China, dated at 868AD) is one of the most important sacred works of the Buddhist faith.
In the sacred text, the Buddha speaks of ‘The Diamond of Transcendent Wisdom’, urging us to cut like a diamond blade through the worldly illusions of reality that surround us to what is truly real and everlasting.
But what really makes all this diamond guff something that gets this Psychic in Stilettos so excited? Because it instantly brought to mind Paul Simon’s “diamonds on the soles of her shoes”. Or stilettos, n’est-ce pas?
