    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.

GUIDE TO HOLISTIC HEALING A Review by Chet Day

Larry Trivieri's new book, "Guide to Holistic Health: Healing Therapies for Optimal Wellness," belongs in the library of every serious health student because it provides a thoughtful and comprehensive overview of the major therapies of holistic medicine.

Detailed chapters discuss nutritional medicine, environmental medicine, mind-body medicine, osteopathic medicine, chiropractic, botanical medicine, bodywork, naturopathic medicine, homeopathy, ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, yoga, and other therapies of holistic medicine.

When I finished "Guide to Holistic Health," I felt for the first time that I had a really solid understanding of all the major approaches to health in the holistic healing movement.

Having seen so many of my friends and family members harmed, maimed, or even killed by traditional medicine, I personally maintain a strong bias against the drug, cut, and burn approach. With that said, after finishing Trivieri's book, I felt better about doctors in general because it's obvious more and more physicians are rejecting the status quo approach for methods that are more in tune with the natural rhythms and needs of the human mind and body.

Overall, "Guide to Holistic Health" is well-written, informative, comprehensive, and full of helpful techniques that the serious health seeker can put right to use.

The best overview of holistic therapies I've ever read
 
Review Date: May 1, 2003
Reviewer: ,
I couldn't disagree more with the reviewer who called this book a rehash of Burton Goldberg's Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide (which I also highly recommend). Yes, the Guide is a wonderful book, and for that matter, Trivieri, the author of this book, also served as the editor and writer for the Guide. But to call his book a "rehash" couldn't be farther from the truth. I have read over a hundred books on the subject of holistic healing/alternative medicine, and never before have I read a book that so wonderfully explains the major therapies of holistic medicine and what it means to be healthy in "body, mind, and spirit," the way Trivieri's book does. The therapies he writes about here are covered in far more depth than in the Definitive Guide, and they are explained in a manner that makes them far more understandable and credible to readers who are unfamiliar with them. The chapter on Yoga alone was an eye opener for me. What I also like about this book are the many studies cited in support of each therapy, as well as the case histories that beautifully illustrate how effective they can be.
It also helps that each chapter contains the authoritative voice of a top expert in each modality.

I rate this book 5 stars because of its combination of comprehensive scholarship and understandability. By all means, buy it if you are at all interested in learning about proven alternatives to drugs and surgery that only treat symptoms, not the causes of dis-ease!

Informative, Enjoyable Tome

Reviewer: Sally DeLellis,
This book is on my shelf next to Ultraprevention, another winner in the introductory holistic genre. Quite frankly, it's amazing how most of us have the power to transform our health to optimal levels, yet so many are too skeptical, or dare I say too lazy, to do the simple things needed...eat well, keep the mind clear, etc. The solution to the problem of disease does not always have to be complicated. Nutrition especially has the potential to be as potent as medication, without the side effects.

As someone who believes in the merit of holistic health, this book made perfect sense to me and was enjoyable as well as informative. I would imagine that those who are like-minded would critique this book similarly. To those who typically question the value of holistic medicine, keep an open mind and give this book (and the advice within) a genuine try.
My fave!

Reviewer: Liz Ellerbe, Fresno, CA
Out of five books, I chose this one on Holistic Health. Its scope just can't be matched. After checking it out from our enormous library in Fresno, I decided to buy it on Amazon for its constant reference value. I also decided to read it from cover to cover - not just hit and miss; otherwise, I might miss something.

I absolutely love this book! It was required for me to buy for school but I ended up reading every chapter (even the ones that were not assigned for class). A great reference. I will hold on to this book for a long time.
