    Crystal Healing is a form of holistic healing which focuses on education and responsibility for personal efforts to achieve balance and well being.

    Crystal healing refers to the use of healing crystals and gemstones to invoke energy changes in the mind and body that can lead to internal healing. Present day interest in crystal healing is simply a continuation of mankind’s fascination with gemstones and minerals down the ages.

    Crystal healing unblocks the negative patterns by raising the vibrational frequency of the energy field that surrounds your body.

    Crystals are natural, earth made substances. They come in many different colors, sizes and types. It is only these natural healing crystals that seem to have holistic healing power.

    Metaphysically, the quartz crystal can be “programmed” to help clear away negative energy from the aura and re-align the chakra energy centers of the body.

    As Quartz Crystal is both Piezoelectric and Pyroelectric, you can change the polarity of the crystal when it is subjected to either pressure or heat.

    Additional aids that can be used for clearing, to detect blockages and balance chakras are crystal healing wands, crystal healing pendulums and crystal pendants

    Programmed crystals are excellent purifiers in any treatment room or waiting room. They will balance inharmonious energy, and clear the negative energy from the room.

    Healing crystals combine well with color therapy, stress consultancy, spiritual healing, and meditation.

    It is, however, best to give a full crystal healing treatment separately from any other treatment, for example, a massage or aromatherapy treatment. You can, however, polarize your client before giving a treatment, by placing a clear quartz crystal above their crown and a rose quartz between their feet. With a small healing crystal pointing downwards, make small circles in a clockwise direction around their body. This clears any negative energy, which may have accumulated in their etheric.

    At the end of your complimentary treatment, you can seal your client’s aura with a figure of eight. This is especially good after an aromatherapy treatment, which can leave the person feeling very weak and vulnerable. This is true for any hands on therapy. Color therapy treatments work very well with crystal healing, as the color and crystal vibrations are in harmony. Meditation and music also harmonize with crystal energy. Healing crystals can also be given after hydrotherapy, as bathing depletes the energy field around the body. This can then be restored and balanced using crystals.

    Healing crystals can also be very successfully when used with reflexology. Using a quartz crystal over the foot reflexes can draw out energy accumulated at the feet. This is good if the client has painful or very sensitive feet. Make small circles anti-clockwise with the crystal, increasing in size and moving away from the foot, as if drawing out the energy. Crystals can be used too on acupuncture points and on the 21 minor chakra points in the body.

    If you are a practitioner of another therapy, you can also instruct your patient’s how to use healing crystals to aid meditation. Ask them to keep notes on their images and experiences during crystal meditations, as this will help you monitor their progress and help you decide which treatments would be appropriate in the future.

Reviewer: Sabs, Los Angeles, CA
Excellent choice for the student (or practitioner)of massage therapy. Great as a reference guide to follow up on lessons formally learned in school. Very well organized and carefully explained techniques. Good use of illustrations. Very helpful bibliography for further study on every topic covered.
Excellent Reference book and CD-ROM
 
Review Date: May 21, 2007
Reviewer: Rich Poley, Boulder, Colorado
This is a thoroughly user friendly book for the student of massage, and the best general reference book on massage that I've found. The book attempts to cover it all and does a fairly good job. Particularly good is its section on Western Massage Techniques, especially those demonstrated in the video. The chapter and section in the video on trigger points and their release are particularly helpful for athletes.
Great Text

Reviewer: M. Barker, United States
There is no question that this book is the best introduction to massage. It is written both with heart and with the correct information you need as a beginging student. You can feel the passion of the writers for the subject, and no wonder, Tappan is one of the most famous massage therapists America ever had. The authors write so sympathetically that you are pulled further into the book.This is an amazing accomplishment in a college level textbook. I am in love with this book! It integrates Eastern and Western styles beautifully. A beautiful labor of love. This book is also on the recommended study list by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Body Work. Not many books made that cut. To get started all you need in addition to this book is a great anatomy and physiology book like my favorite by Tortora and Grabowski.
a great learning tool
