Hi guys...I have been arguin with my parents all day today about a ring that I wear. I have a Coral ring on my right hand ring finger. My inlaws believe in this family friend who reads numerology and has recommended I wear this coral ring. He says its for my health and good fortune...he has done some prayers on it. My parents are interfering alot in my life about this and my marriage what should I do. I mean I am keeping the ring on no matter what. But they are driving me crazy telling me to take this ring off that its not in our religion to believe in this etc. I really need some advice I believe in it WHAT SHOULD I DO im so confused? Anyone have any info or a site I can go to on gemstones -CORAL to be specific and its usage in INDIA etc.

I don't think the ring has any effect on what you choose to do. What do you believe in? The ring is for health and good, how bad is that? They may just have a problem with the being associated with numerology. I'll put a link up for you to read more into and help you decide. Just a quick overview numerology does deal with divination so that means astrology or occult- please note that occult is a not a bad word, it means hidden or secret.

As for properties of coral it is a very positive object. Here is a link for you to read up on it. http://dreamingmagpie.com/colour-healing-coral.html
I hope this helps and I hope you keep on wearing the ring. It's main purpose is for good.

The basic teaching is this ring has no true real power. Your worshiping a thing. Not god. Sorry my friend if you are wearing this because of your misguided faith, your parents are right, take it off. One should not pray to idols of stone, coral, wood, brass, or otherwise.

The ring acts as a focal point to remind you of some universal goodness. And I have the same problems with in-laws i interference. That is one of the reason that SpiritFlight is being published. Sometimes opposition can force us to grow.

If you do not believe it has other power, then it's a gift from someone who wishes you well and has gone out of his/her way to express that desire.
If you do believe it has power, perhaps you should ask yourself -- not anyone else around you -- what you do believe. It does not make you wrong to ask questions, so long as you seek honest answers.
