Jaipur-based Dr M.S. Chauhan uses a novel therapy that douses ailments
by combining gem therapy with dousing
Legend has
it that Lord Shiva created ratna (gems) as a cure for various illnesses
on Parvati's insistence. He is believed to have said: "I have created these ratna
not only for ornamental use but also to benefit mankind by healing the body."
The story could be apocryphal, but as most myths go it has some basis
in reality. This is the assumption on which Dr M.S. Chauhan has
amalgamated gem therapy (healing with gems) with
dowsing. The result of this unique synthesis is a fascinating form of
diagnosis and treatment based on the interrelationship between the individual
and the universe.
The Kurma Purana describes all creation as being constructed of
rays, radiation and vibrations. The nine principle rays form the nine
colors of the rainbow-yellow, orange, red, violet, indigo, blue, ultraviolet,
infrared and green. The nine yogicchakras (muladhar,
swadhisthan, manipur, anahata, vishuddhi, ajna, soma, kameshwari, sahasrar),
the nine nuclei in the brain (thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdla, sub-thalamus,
globus pallidus, substancia nigra, putamen, nucleus caudatushead
and tail); the seven notes of music (sa, re, ga, ma, pa, dha, nee,
sa), the seven systems of ayurveda
(bile, blood, flesh, fat, bone, marrow, sperm); the panchabhutas
(the five elementsearth, water, fire, air, ether), the five primeval
vayus (prana, apana, samana, udana, vyana) or the five senses
(smell, taste, touch, sight, hearing)all resonate with the nine
cosmic colors and their ultra-and infra-frequencies. Thus, everything
in the cosmos is interrelated and these universal rays perform the task
of creation, maintenance and destruction.
These universal rays also form the substratum of our nine planets. Mars
is the condensed form of the color yellow, moon of orange, sun
of red, Saturn of violet, Venus of indigo, Jupiter of blue, Rahu
of ultraviolet, Ketu of infrared and Mercury of green. In the human
body, every cell, tissue and organ is also the manifestation of the nine
cosmic rays. These rays exist in a state of equilibrium within the cells.
Illness occurs when the interaction between outer and inner forces upsets
this equilibrium by weakening the rays. Color
radiation from gems may be used to strengthen these weakened
rays, as they are nature's storehouse of cosmic colors.
Colors affect our entire being as the color of a ray is
a form of sustenance necessary for the health of our cells and tissues.
If there is deficiency of any color, the body organ related to
that color will suffer. As each color has its own frequency,
a disease might also be a ray of wrong frequency that can be cured by
another ray. This is what gems are often used for. Gem therapy
uses these nine cosmic colors with their ultra- and infra-frequencies
to restore balance in the body. But bewarebeing powerful reservoirs
of energy, gems should be used with a lot of caution.
DIAGNOSTIC DOWSING Dowsing involves picking up vibrations of surrounding objects.
Human beings have vibrating energy fields and so do inanimate objects.
People have dowsed with sticks, metal rods and pendulums to detect underground
water, oil, minerals and metals by logging into their vibrational frequency.
Pendulum dowsing works on the principle of magnetism. The magnetic
field becomes an omniscient field and when a query is put to the Supreme
Consciousnesswhich has all the information of the past, present
and futurethere are subtle changes in electrical frequencies causing
the pendulum to move in a certain fashion of its own volition. Dr Chauhan
has designed a box of electromagnets that are arranged in such a way as
to eliminate interference of the dowser's dielectric energy. In Dr
Chauhan's clinic, a patient is first seated with one hand on the magnetic
box. A square card is placed beside the hand. The card titled 'seat of
disease' is used to diagnose the problem. This chart lists various diseases,
which include past-life
trauma, karmic blocks, and hereditary and genetic imbalances. It even
has an item labeled 'ghosts' for condensed negative energy on various
levels.
Next, Dr Chauhan holds a crystal pendulum over the magnetic box
and it is able to pick up the patient's frequency (also known as radisthenia)
from the hand. He then holds the pendulum over the card and asks it to
point out the problem. It is truly fascinating to watch the pendulum swing
and finally point to a particular item. Problem after problem is identified
until the pendulum refuses to point further and rotates in a circle. The
next step points out the color(s) needed for the cure. When the color
is known, the pendulum is used to point out the appropriate gem required.
Once the disease is properly identified, the treatment begins. Dr Chauhan
has a vast collection of gemstones and medicines prepared from
them. He puts a few globules of the required gem medicine on the
tongue and the patient is asked to relax. Often, there is a sensation
in one or more chakras or in some part of the body. The hand is once again
placed on the magnetic box and the pendulum is again held over the 'seat
of disease' chart. If the pendulum merely rotates without pointing to
any ailment, it means that the medicine just taken is the right one.
An aura
reader generally accompanies Dr Chauhan to keep tabs on the transformation
in the patient's energy field during the whole process. The aura of an
ailing person is shrunken, but after treatment it fills up with radiant
light. Dowsing can also be done with a photograph of the patient
being placed on the magnetic box. In this case, Dr Chauhan first
uses the Condition Indicator card showing all the possible stages of illness
and existence of the soul to check the condition of the patient.
According to Dr Chauhan, diseases first appear as imbalances in
the planetary configuration and then enter the aura of a person. It then
takes three to nine months to affect the various nuclei of the brain and
filter down into corresponding organs. He believes that those diseases
that are difficult to diagnose might be linked to the past lives of a
person and are transmitted through the genetic code into the present.
Through dowsing, such diseases can be diagnosed and cured.
DUAL ENERGY
Through his long-standing experience with gems, Dr Chauhan
has come to the conclusion that every gem is not suitable for healing.
For instance, if one is meant to wear a diamond, not every diamond will
work. Every gem or stone can be either negatively or positively
charged, so instead of being beneficial a stone with negative qualities
can actually do harm. He now dowses every stone before use so that it
carries only positive vibrations.
This means that just buying and wearing a precious stone prescribed by
an astrologer is not enough. Gemstones are meant to ward off the
adverse effects of planets, but what if you end up wearing a stone that
has negative vibrations?
This is where dowsing helps, as it distinguishes between beneficial
and harmful stones. Due to ignorance, people continue wearing gems
without cleansing them. Every gem absorbs negative energies of
the body of the wearer in the process of cleansing the physical self.
These negative energies can be harmful. Therefore every stone should be
cleansed weekly.
