CONTENTS

This book contains information from my own personal journey with crystalsor the Stone People, as I like to call themworking on myself and with customers, clients, and students almost every day over the past 15 years. My experiences have given me a practical understanding of the bodys energy system and shown me how crystals and their healing powers interact with the chakras, aura, and meridians to bring about positive changes in peoples lives. It is this knowledge that is brought to you in The Complete Guide to Crystal Chakra Healing. Some of the information comes directly from my clients and students, while other facts come from research into ancient and contemporary writings. Where I have drawn upon these, I have, where possible, tested the information either on myself or on my willing students.

Im often asked whether I believe crystals work. The answer is no I know they work. One client even said that he didnt think the crystal chakra healing treatments he was about to embark on would work, and did he have to believe in crystals for them to work? You dont have to believe in crystals for them to work just as you dont have to believe that the light will come on when you turn on the light switch. Nor do you have to believe that the chakras of your energy system exist for you to wake up in the morning and breathe. Of course, like all other types of treatment (including medical), there is a placebo effect, but as you will see this is not all there is to it. People have been working successfully with crystals and applying them to chakra healing all around the world for thousands of years.

Crystal colors are created by other mineral inclusions, optical discrepancies in the crystalline structure or processes such as heat and radiation. Clockwise from top: polished quartz crystal, aqua aura, citrine, imperial topaz, amethyst, natural quartz crystal, and polished citrine.

Skeptics will always cite reasons why crystals cant work. These are usually based on the undisputed fact that there is no scientific proof of crystals curing any specific illness. Nevertheless, the answer to that is simpletry it yourself. As Ill explain, the bodymind, or your bodys energy system, which links mind, body, and spirit, doesnt have specific illnesses but is interlaced with moving, vibrant, constantly changing energy. When you experience personally the effects of crystal healing through your chakras on your own energy system, you know for certain that something positive is happening.

As you turn the pages of this book, youll find many practical exercises. Please do try them. It is only through working with crystals that you can begin to understand them. You can use this book as a workbook, reading from start to finish, or dip in and out of the crystal and chakra information and the healing techniques as you see fit.

You will be introduced to crystals and the bodys energy systemthe chakras, aura, and meridiansand learn through the method of crystal chakra healing how to select and cleanse crystals and then apply them for self-healing, healing others, and changing your environment. Just bringing the natural beauty of crystals into your home will change how you feel they make you feel good. They are safe to work with and have no unhelpful side effects because if you, or more precisely the energies within you, are already balanced, then your crystal will have to do nothing more than simply look pretty.

Welcome to the start of your journey into crystal chakra healing. Chakras and crystals are intrinsically linked through their connections with energythe chakras are the doorways through which the positve healing energies of crystals can enter the body. By following the expert advice in this book, you will begin an enlightening journey focusing on the relationships between crystals and chakras that will help you to achieve a healthy body, mind, and spirit.

Placing crystals directly on and around your chakras, or energy centers, creates an internal energy balance that leads to healing and improved well-being. Chakras draw the healing energies of the crystals into your body and then release this power through the meridians, or energy pathways, and out into your surrounding aura.

Crystals have their own unique energies which balance your energies. You can effect beneficial changes to your body, mind, spirit, and emotions by applying crystals using both ancient and modern healing techniques, including:

• Wearing or carrying crystals ()
• Laying on of stones ()
• Preparing crystal elixirs ()12
• Rotating crystals to focus energy (pages )
• Crystal chakra healing (pages )
