The Crystal Healer
 

What's it all about?

At last - a comprehensive book that explains the mysteries of Crystal Healing in a language that anyone can understand...

Amazon.com says...
Englishwoman Marianna Sheldrake introduces this guide to crystal healing with two pithy bits of wisdom. First, "A closed mind is like a closed parachute - absolutely useless and, at the wrong time, potentially fatal." And second, "Magic is only science yet to be explored." With noticeably down-to-earth concepts, she proceeds to instruct the neophyte and the experienced in the finer points of healing, not only with crystals but also energy healing in general. She acknowledges that the patient's emotional state and capacity for visualization, as well as the healer's intent - which smacks of faith healing - are necessary to effect a cure, but explains how the energies in minerals can restore balance to a diseased body. Chapter 5 is an exhaustive list of characteristics of individual crystals, chapter 6 a list of ailments and the crystals used to heal them. This book is a must-read for those fascinated by crystals; those interested in subtle energy fields and chakra therapy will also find themselves duly informed. -- P. Randall Cohan
Amazon.co.uk says...
This is a comprehensive teaching handbook and reference guide, the main focus of which is healing using crystal tools and the chakras. The author's compulsive anecdotal style leads the reader through some surprisingly intensive information with ease. The fundamentals are covered in depth, providing an accessible introduction to crystal healing, but there is also a wealth of unique information personal to the author's wide experience and insight which means that the book has much to offer the expert.
Although readers are encouraged to work with and explore crystals in conjunction with the book, it would nevertheless benefit from further illustration. There is a reasonably thorough coverage of the healing properties of the author's favoured crystals, resins and metals despite some unexpected omissions, such as Diamond and Alexandrite.
