The
Red Coral Necklace
A
story about red coral

The
red coral necklace
 |
Years
ago I had a motorcycle accident. Actually it was more of a
tumble, the bike just slipped over and sat on me. This didn't
really matter except the kick stand was where it was supposed
to be and my leg wasn't. This conflict in the status quo involved
the kick stand cutting into my leg. Three days later, after
surgery, I had a whole lot more respect for motorcycles. I
lay in bed and was coming to the realization that my normally
fiery constitutional resilience to injury just wasn't strutting
its stuff and that this injury could take more than quite
a while to heal.

Having
severed several nerves, the deep wound was definitely cold, and very
little electrical healing energy seemed to be circulating in its immediate
area. Obviously for tissue repair to occur, strong forces of renewal
needed to be activated.
Visualization
would have helped, but the area was already feeling pretty dead,
and my consequent negative mindset would have had to be overcome.
I
lay in bed for quite some time evaluating my body's resources. With
this accident, its recuperating resources didn't seem to be anything
close to my younger days, when a deep wound was just a scratch.
Because
of my studies and interest in gems, I hobbled out of bed and reached
for a red coral necklace to see if it would be of help. Strangely
enough, at the time I didn't feel that it would help much, except
on a subtle level.
The
next few minutes were genuinely a big shock to my understanding.
The
previous hour my wound had had a distinctly cold clammy feel to
it. A sense pervaded that nothing was happening in the metabolic
arena and recovery was going to take ages. Upon putting on the red
coral, almost immediately I could feel a comfortable surge of warmth
and circulation of energy surrounding and intelligently permeating
the wounded area. I was stunned to be witnessing something so tangible.
I was dimly aware that I had read that red coral was good for wounds
or internal bleeding. It was this profound experience, and many
other testimonials that was to inspire me to promote and advertise
the wonderful power of Vedic gems to anyone who would listen in
later years.
I kept the necklace on until the healing was over. Coral seemed
perfect as it gave a needed boost to my traumatized metabolic rate.
These
days, if I put on red coral while I'm in a fine fettle, I may, within
a day or so, start feeling too warm in the area of the necklace.
The proper use of the red coral necklace
Red
coral represents Mars in Vedic astrology and, hence, is hot to warming
in influence. Too much heat will imbalance me, but for a person
with more cold influences in their horoscope, a red coral necklace
could be much more comfortable to wear for longer periods. Rarely
would I recommend that it be worn constantly. If the wearer is old
and living in a very cold climate, more extensive use could be helpful.
From
extensive feedback over the years, red coral appears to help boost
the energy of people who are run down. A person living in a cold
climate will be more receptive to its heating benefits than the
same person dwelling in a tropical climate.
Many
friends have been amazed by red coral's effect on their colds, coughs
and flus. Often I have recommended it to people having surgery and
have had them thank me profusely for what they perceive to be its
speeding up of their healing processes. Surprising as it may seem,
I used to keep a red coral necklace beside the bed in winter, and
if I got too cold, I would throw on red coral instead of another
blanket. I generally always take one when I leave sunny California
for colder climes.
There
are many coral imitations on the market, especially in necklace
form, mostly from China and India. These include ceramic glass,
white coral or horn dyed red and plastic. Observation indicates
that for short-term remedial benefits of specific problems, a coral
necklace of over 80 carats is best (it is this much because each
bead is so small). I often recommend keeping one in the medicine
cabinet.
Characteristics
of good coral necklaces
Before
most people can appreciate the way this electromagnetic instrument
can help them, they will need to understand some parameters of its
application. The weight of the Red Coral necklace will vary between
14 to 18 grams (one gram equals five carats). So, whenever reference
is made to coral necklaces, it will be to those that weigh in at
approximately 80 to 90 carats, the sum total weight of Red Coral
beads. They are made without a clasp and of sufficient length so
that they can be slipped on and off over the head without much fuss.
Of
all the less expensive types of stone necklaces, the Red Coral necklace
seems to be the one that people feel the most. This is partly because
it has a definite, strong influence on the physical body as well
as on the mind. I have been doing research by observing the effects
of the Red Coral necklace on numerous clients, on a continuous basis
for over eight years. After having loaned them to large numbers
of people, many of whom were adamant in their disbelief in any therapeutic
uses for stones or gems, I have become very enthusiastic that this
simple instrument, if used correctly, can really be a great friend.
Red
Coral (Corallium Rubrum) beads are carved from a branch-like calcareous
framework of the coral polyp and is formed by the accretion of colonies
of these tiny marine invertebrates. The heating influence in Red
Coral seems to originate mostly from the red color in combination
with the organically structured crystalline aggregate of calcium
carbonate (CaCO3). The red color traps the infra red and red aspect
of the light spectrum, and this appears to be regenerative as a
heating influence. My extensive experiments with White Coral, which
has been found to be both calming and strengthening, indicate that
it does not stimulate the metabolic heat in the wearer nearly as
much as Red Coral. But for high pitta individuals (an Ayurvedic
body type), who nonetheless need more physical energy, this can
be helpful.
With
very few exceptions, people have found that by wearing the Red Coral
necklace they have experienced more bodily heat and energy. This
experience is very much appreciated if the person is of a less energized
character or has a low body heat. If the person has a body type
that is susceptible to feeling the cold, then she or he will feel
very attached to the necklace during cold weather. But those, on
the other hand, who do not feel the cold, may actually experience
feeling overheated and uncomfortable when wearing the necklace;
this discomfort can come within minutes or hours. The individuals
who seem to be the most sensitive this way are those who are "pitta".
A small percentage of individuals may wear the necklace for a few
days before they recognize the heat, and not absolutely everyone
is sensitive to the potent influence.
The
discomfort threshold to body heat is also, of course, related to
whether it is a hot day or not, for example. However, even pitta
types can assuredly enjoy the coral necklace if they are living
in a cold climate or take a trip to a colder place, or if they are
physically run down or elderly (i.e., cases when the metabolic energy
is not as abundant). Vata and kapha body-types (those who tend to
feel the cold), will definitely feel a great benefit from this easy-to-use
stimulant to their metabolism and body thermostat. Essentially,
all three body-types (kapha, vata and pitta) will profit by use
of the coral necklace whenever there is a lack of energy.
Strengthening
the immune system
Very
often the coral necklace has gained considerable esteem and appreciation
for stimulating the body's immune system, or in helping to clear
congestion. On innumerable occasions, when people have felt a cold
or flu bug coming on, they have reported they felt, after throwing
on the necklace, that it cut short its grip on them. People who
have congestion, especially from the flu, report dramatic improvement
from wearing the Red Coral necklace. Many individuals who have worn
the necklace following an operation claim that it has seemingly
sped up their recovery process. Artists who sing have found that
it has protected their voice when they have felt a bug coming on.
It seems to be especially useful to anemic types, who have a low
energy on account of their low blood iron. It is for all these findings
that a Red Coral necklace can be a great lifelong friend to call
on when in need; one should always be available in the first aid
cabinet.
Interestingly,
I have sold several nine-gem bangles after the occasion of lending
out coral necklaces, as it was the tangible experience of wearing
this simple, single-stone item that gave the clients an understanding
by experience of what the full rainbow of gems might do for them.
Slowing
down the aging process
As
we get older we become less able to receive the beneficial radiations
emitted by the planets. An example of this is a slow down with advancing
age of metabolic and recuperative abilities. Many elderly clients
have attested to the ameliorating reduction in this degenerative
process by wearing a Red Coral necklace. Some of those living in
colder climates have said they never take it off in winter and that
because of it, they don't feel the cold nearly as badly.
Individuals
who have had trauma or operations on their bodies have repeatedly
expressed that when they put on the coral necklace they noticed
a definite improvement in the rate of progress back to well being.
Of course, after the healing of the bodily injury was complete,
many found that the time came to take it off; after full recovery
the excess in necklace-generated heat was not to their liking. Others
kept them on as it helped their somewhat continuously low vitality.
There have also been surprising results with women who have excessive
difficulties in their monthly cycles who have worn a combination
of Red Coral and Pearl necklaces.
One
lady originally was persuaded to wear this combination for an asthma
condition. She noted some improvement on the asthma; but what really
amazed her was that her abnormally severe menstrual bleeding, every
month since the birth of her child seven years before, had dramatically
returned to normal. It never recurred again even after she took
off the necklaces. She was actually quite shocked at the result,
as she originally thought the whole idea ludicrous; but after the
striking improvement she was convinced it had to be the result of
one or both of the necklaces.
Often
people come back from India thinking that the necklace they bought
on the street is genuine, only to have it correctly identified later
as a glass product. One way of telling the difference between Red
Coral and glass is that if you have worn it for over a month and
it hasn't lost its glossy surface, you can be pretty sure it is
red glass. A lot of red-bead ethnic jewelry from India is red glass.
There are also some very impressive-looking plastic imitations around.
Red Coral is, incidentally, reactive to acids, so certain jewelry
cleaners should not be used on them.
The
most potent Red Coral necklaces are deep red in color. But this
does not mean the red tending toward orange is without influence;
it is simply a matter of degree. We have natural Red Coral Necklaces
available from $150 upwards. ( Not to be confused
with the more common white coral necklaces that have been dyed the
same color and look very similar and are sold everywhere as red
coral!!)
A
recent letter we received:
Dear
Nick,
My
wife just reminded me to tell you about the red coral necklace.
She loves it ! She finally took it off the other night , because
she got too hot , but she has had it on for a solid month , and
really finds it works. She has been outside in short sleeves, in
perfect comfort , while her much younger companion was "freezing"
. I have also noticed warmer feet and hands this season, so it is
a big hit with her !
