Indigo Bracelet

Indigo helps develop your intuition. It is the gemstone bearer of the indigo ray. When you wear a bracelet of rounded Indigo crystals, the indigo ray is radiated throughout your being, absorbing the limiting mental energies that obstruct the intuition and cloud the mind. The ability of both Indigo and Sodalight to absorb mental energies is no coincidence: Indigo is the crystalline form of Sodalight.

Self-realization is the recognition of oneself as soul. A crucial step toward this goal is to learn to listen to the whisperings of the true self in day-to-day situations. Some people call these inner nudges “intuition.” To help you better hear these whisperings, Indigo energy constructs bridges between your intuition and your conscious awareness. As impulses of truth arise from the higher self, the intuitive body is the first to hear them. The mind then receives these whisperings, filtering and distorting them according to its own conditioning and agenda. Often they are heard incorrectly, translated into dream-like symbols, or not detected at all. By constructing energetic bridges, Indigo allows intuitive data to bypass the mind and seep directly into your conscious awareness.

When the mind is bypassed, the intuition becomes a source of information separate from the mind. The bridge provided by Indigo allows mind-thoughts to come through one set of channels, while intuitive information travels another. Thus, the two types of information become more separate and identifiable. This makes it easier to determine whether the information originated in the mind or in soul. However, Indigo can help only to a certain degree. To develop your intuitive sense fully, you must exercise your intuition and practice trusting it.

When life brings the inevitable changes required for spiritual growth, Indigo helps keep the mind from overreacting. The indigo ray steps quietly through the mind, suggesting that something greater lies beyond it. It whispers that the higher self, your spiritual essence and the mind's governor, orchestrates your life’s experiences for your spiritual unfoldment. Thus, the indigo ray quietly lays a foundation in the mind and helps it to maintain a more refined balance.

The Indigo gemstone fosters a conscious connection with your intuition and helps you envision your true dreams and aspirations. It shows you your potential to attain your dreams, and it helps you see how to achieve them. Indigo expands your consciousness and opens the door to higher levels of knowingness, while teaching you to shine with your own inner light.

Supporting Bones and Joints With the Indigo ray

Each of the seven color rays of the life force is particularly healing and nourishing to certain aspects of the physical body. The indigo ray nourishes and supports the skeletal system, including the bones, ligaments, joints, and cartilage. Consequently, wearing Indigo can help strengthen these parts of the body and help resolve certain conditions associated with them.

The Benefits of Bracelets vs. Necklaces

Like therapeutic necklaces, the gemstones in a bracelet radiate their healing energies into the body and energy field around the gems. Both forms offer the unique energies and benefits of their component gems. So, how do bracelets and necklaces differ?

The answer lies primarily in their therapeutic potency. A bracelet typically has less gemstone mass than a necklace. Therefore, if you're seeking a more potent experience of a certain gemstone's energy, a necklace might be the best choice. However, don’t count out the therapeutic impact of a bracelet. Despite its lower mass, a bracelet provides a meaningful therapeutic effect, ensuring that you benefit from the gemstone's healing properties. 

To maximize your intake of Indigo energy, consider wearing one or two Indigo bracelets with an Indigo necklace. Wearing the two forms together can offer an a profound enhancement of the experience and action of the gems.

Wear It On Your Wrist

One of the most convenient ways to use an Indigo bracelet is to wear it around your wrist. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the bracelet or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems.

Special Therapies

You can also use Indigo for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to curl up the bracelet and place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery. Here is another focused treatment you can perform with this bracelet:

Dissolving Mental Blocks to Healing

An Indigo necklace or bracelet is placed on a localized area of the body to the dissolve mental energies that have accumulated there and that are disrupting the area's health and inhibiting its recovery. View instructions.

Supporting Painful Conditions of the Hands, Wrists, and Arms

Indigo is one of most effective gems for relieving arthritis, injury, and musculoskeletal pain. Wearing an Indigo bracelet allows the gems' energy to envelop the hands, wrists, and joints in the arm in a more focused way, providing ongoing support and potentially faster relief from pain in these areas.

Time Guidelines

Indigo can be worn continuously. However, it is always wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. If you start to feel a headache or significant discomfort, take the bracelet off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes initiated by the gems by wearing them for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.

Cleanse Indigo Regularly

To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Indigo bracelet. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the bracelet around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the bracelet in its branches.

Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.

Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 5 minutes at a time. Alternatively, place Indigo in moonlight.

Caution: Avoid rinsing and clay cleansing, which will dull polish.   

When Your Bracelet First Arrives

When you put on a new bracelet or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.

Gemisphere’s 100% natural Indigo bracelets are made from the finest-quality Indigo crystals on Earth. Holding our Indigo over a light source reveals its vibrant cobalt-blue color, making it an ideal vehicle for the indigo ray.

Therapeutic Quality Indigo

To accurately determine its quality, Indigo must be observed with a light source behind it. A light source reveals therapeutic Indigo’s true indigo-blue color and translucency. Without it, the Indigo’s color appears much darker, and its translucency disappears. In normal light, Indigo appears virtually identical to Sodalight. (Read about Sodalight’s unique properties and benefits here.)

As the crystalline form of Sodalight, Indigo shares Sodalight’s tendency to contain white streaks or clouds. The finest quality Indigo is neon-like cobalt blue and translucent, and has few to no clouds. As spheres move away from this finest quality, they contain more white and are less translucent. Spheres that are nearly opaque are of low therapeutic value. Spheres in which the white overtakes the indigo hue are non-therapeutic.

Like Sodalight, Indigo can become whiter as it absorbs negative energies from the environment and from your aura. This cloudiness may take as long as years or as little as weeks to develop. The Indigo remains effective, however, until the cloudiness overwhelms the indigo color of the spheres.
