There are no secondary effects with Litho-therapy, and you don’t have to pay out for treatment. So you can start practicing Litho-therapy yourself by choosing your own gems and crystals. Let yourself be guided by your intuition, if a particular gem or crystal jumps out at you then that it’s trying to tell you something. Once you’ve made your decision, it’s better that someone buys the gem for you as a gift: a little persuasion and a ‘Please’ in the right direction can get you over this hurdle. Before wearing your gem jewelry for the first time it is very important that you clean it to purify it of previous imprints left by others. Gems possess a life of their own so if you treat them with love they will give it to you back ten times over.
