I have seen the future of jewelry and this is it: beautifully arranged, energetically potent gemstones charged with healing Reiki energy. Wow. Wouldn’t you love to wear jewelry that has been prayed over to bless you? If you were ill, wouldn’t you want to wear stones that might give you a physical and psychic boost? I took jewelry designer Liz Alpert’s business card at a recent conference. Looking at her site, I see is that she’s re-introduced a healing dimension to wearing metal and stones that dates back centuries. She struggled with back pain that inspired her to infuse her work with more spirit.

Of course, Roman Catholics know what a sacred medal (metal) can do. And surely, jewelry passed down through a family has a significant psychic charge. But our mother’s generation sometimes wore earrings, brooches, and necklaces to look dressy, pulled together, or even well off–that appears to be over! There’s also non-custom, spiritual jewelry from EnergyMuse.com made with Chinese coins and stones. Spiritually-inclined celebrities like Tony Robbins and Heidi Klum wear the stuff (I have to admit this gang looks deliberately pulled-together and prosperous). Be on the lookout for department store or flea market spin-offs. And Tibetan and Hindu sites abound with items folks like us want to wear.

Also remember that you can charge or bless any object yourself by holding it and filling it with good intention. What uplifting stories do you have about the jewelry you wear? (I’ve started wearing a favorite rhinestone bracelet in the daytime. I say: What the heck? I’m spreading good chi throughout the land.)
