About Avnei HaHoshen & Crystals
Crystals promote healing and restore balance by clearing negative energy through their unique vibrational frequencies, shaped by their mineral composition, structure, and color. These properties align with the body’s needs to enhance well-being.
The use of crystals dates back to ancient times and is mentioned in Jewish, Egyptian, and other historical sources. Over the centuries, crystals have been valued not only as adornments but also for protection and healing.
When discussing Shabbat in the Talmud it highlights the medicinal use of crystals, such as the Carnelian (Even HaTekuma), which women were permitted to carry on Shabbat to prevent miscarriage. This reflects the recognition of their healing properties.
In Exodus, crystals are prominently featured in the High Priest’s breastplate, (Hoshen Mishpat) with commentaries elaborating on their significance. As Rabeinu Bechaye explains, “There is no stone among the precious stones which does not bring down power from above” (Exodus 28).
Hi, I'm Gila!
The beauty of pretty stones has always attracted me; the belief of unity among the Jewish people has been something that I have always believed in; the desire to help others has been a constant factor in my life. So what in fact do these have to do with one another?
I would never have put all of these together had I not embarked on the special path of diagnosis and healing through crystals.
Having worked as a social worker and in various administrative and management positions the flow of life brought me to a new place and I returned to the world of study. Among the areas of study was group therapy, psychotherapy and healing and assessment through crystals.
I was totally “taken” by the crystals and as I discovered their incredible powers I also learned about Judaism’s endorsement of these magnificent creations.
I began to see a very strong connection between the Avnei HaChoshen, (12 stones representing the 12 tribes of Israel, worn on the breast plate of the High Priest in the Temple) of so many years ago, and the message of unity among the Jewish people.
After working in this field for a number of years I am still “blown away” by the accuracy of the assessments done through crystals, and their ability to pinpoint so many details about a person’s wellbeing. The treatment done through the use of crystals is just as riveting. Through correct use of crystals we see the most remarkable changes take place in a person’s wellbeing. Once I understood the genuine powers of crystals new vistas opened up to me and I began to create jewellery and wall-hangings using the relevant crystal. It is through the crystals that I uncovered my creative side and have learned about talents that I never knew existed within me. I am grateful to be able to work in field about which I am passionate and to be able to ease the pain of others using these wondrous crystals.
