Crystals: What they are and how to use them [Paperback]

Crystals is a handy guide to the use of crystals as aids for meditation. The author concentrates on the use of quartz as an introduction for beginners, although the methods are applicable to other gemstones. This book takes you step by step from choosing the right crystals for yourself, through their preparation by techniques of clearing and programming, towards employing them in beneficial meditations. Some further uses are also considered, such as developing intuition, clairvoyance and healing. The meditation practices rely on the system of seven chakras, which is fully explained. The reader is guided through concentration, relaxation and breathing to using crystals laid out in patterns to focus meditative energy. The emphasis is on personal development, self-awareness and achieving a balanced and fulfilling life.

When you shine the light of conscious awareness into the dark corners of your mind, the inner demons lose their power over you, shrivel up and die, and the energies which may have been blocked for years are released, to flow into more creative channels.

Readers are invited to follow the set procedures as they are, or to build on them to suit their own ways of working:

You are encouraged to be as playful and imaginative as you can. Crystal visualisation work done in a spirit of play and creativity is much higher and more powerful.

The result is a very practical and friendly book which introduces and demystifies crystals as tools for meditation. --Frank Pennycook
