    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.

Fascinating look at nutrition - and not just for the sick
 
Review Date: March 14, 2001
Reviewer: Carol S., Pennsylvania
Although I don't necessarily agree with everything Annemarie Colbin has to say about food & health (for example, I believe that certain immunizations are a critical part of one's health care and not unnecessary or harmful), "Food and Healing" is an excellent and thoughtful treatment of a complex subject. The title may erroneously give the impression that the book is just for those who are ill. In fact, the book has a lot to offer to anyone who is interested in learning more about nutrition, and how what we eat can make us feel better or worse. We know that caffeine can give you energy or make you nervous, and that a high-fat diet can cause heart disease; Colbin theorizes that other kinds of food, food ingredients and even methods of preparation affect the body in different but no less profound ways. Particularly intriguing are Colbin's musings on "food philosphy": e.g., multi-faceted comparisons of different diets; how different thinkers approach food in a different philosophical way; various ways to look at food choices and their effects on the body. I was impressed by the breadth of the sources Colbin cites (although occasionally one finds an outdated reference, like the ones to the now-debunked Tasaday "tribe") and how she weaves everything together into a coherent and readable book. What really won me over, however, was Colbin's insistence on taking a flexible approach to eating. Colbin emphasizes that no diet should remain static, and we need to choose different kinds of diets to reflect and address what is going on in our lives at different times. She is remarkably open-minded and tolerant of all points of view, allowing the reader to take away nuggets of wisdom from unlikely sources. If some of the opinions expressed seemed a bit too airy-fairy for me (e.g., auras, and her apparent rejection of the germ theory of disease transmission), even these sections were interesting and thought-provoking. Required reading for anyone who has "food issues," wants to improve her diet, has a chronic health problem, or works in the nutrition field.
Low Fat Eating
 
Review Date: May 27, 2000
Reviewer: ,
If you missed Annemarie Colbin's fine book, Food and Healing, the first time around, it's back in a revised edition. First published in 1986, it rapidly became a classic exploration in detail of why and how we are what we eat. Reissued in 1996 by Ballantine with a new preface by the author, Food and Healing now incorporates the latest on low fat eating, findings on food combinations and new alternative medicine paths into what remains the Bible of the holistic view of food and health.

Ms. Colbin's view is thoroughly common sensical. She recognizes the fact that we are each individuals, and that once we have digested the facts, theories and proposals in her book we must make decide on what eating choices are best for us.

This is a thoughtful but not didactic book, solid and grounded in research, yet written with an entertaining touch. Rarely have we encountered a book that so well explains the nutritive quality of food, and its effects on body, mind and spirit. Don't miss it.

Reviewer: Loren E. Clive, Pukalani, HI
I just borrowed this book from a friend, and Colbin covers everything--there were several pages I xeroxed before returning it. It doesn't propose any specific philosophy, rather it evaluates the effects of different foods on the body. She incorporates Chinese and ayurvedic philosophy also and details macrobiotics. I am vegan, and I especially recommend it for vegetarians since it explains how to balance your diet, making sure you get enough calcium and the essential B12. Colbin emphasizes all-natural foods and listening to your body. I'm gonna buy a copy when I get back to the states. Enjoy!
A great book!

Reviewer: Elizabeth K. Agren, Ft. Lauderdale Fl.
This remains one of my favorite books on eating for health. Annemarie offers sensible, and do-able guidelines, not rules, and a lot of information to mull over.
I go back to this book over, and over again.
I also recommend her cookbooks. Healthy, delicious, easy to make dishes, with
simple ingredients.
You'll never look at food the same way again!

A powerful, thought-provoking book. Ms. Colbin is extremely knowledgeable and readable. This is a great book for vegetarians and would be vegetarians who have dabbled in natural hygiene, macrobiotics and other "branches" and have trouble sorting through all the conflicting information and dogmas.
