Katrina's books are informative. In this one, she shows the crystal layouts for each chakra. She shows what different formations to look for and shows pictures of how they look. She makes it easy for the beginner and interesting. When looking up different crystals she describes the reasons one is drawn to it, and for which level i.e. : physical, spiritual, emotional. Out of all the many books out there on crystal healing, Katrina Raphaell, helps one to learn about the crystals with a clarity that is rarely evident in other books of this type.. Gail Fo

This book introduces the unique and powerful healing properties of crystals. Katrina's healing technique is to put a pattern of stomes, based on intuition, along the different chakras of the recipient. She also integrates many practical therapeutic skills on the crystal healing which enhance the healing effect. When I firstly received the crystal healing in Crystal Academy, I realized the crystal energy can bring me to a different dimension which I can't imagine before. The informationm of the 12 Master Crystals is also advanced material

The information about crystals was authentic and acurate but some of the methods were not very safe. Such as when she was speaking of channeling crystals and suggested that you speak with entities you felt around you with out first telling you to place you self in protective light was a dangerous mistake. I only hope no one has hurt them self with this misleading onformation. Although she dose speak of protection she don't put the right kind of stress on it. I guesse she dons't come in contact with unfriedly forces but they are out there and looking for ingnorent victims. The methods of healing in this book is a great way to conduct your healings. I just wish she gave more information on how to heal your self with crystals.

If i can start with the reason i bought the book in the first place, then this is it, I saw this book on the shelf, picked it up and flicked through some pages, now in my mind at that particular moment while flicking the pages i was looking for a layout picture of where placement of crystal need to go on the body, normally i read the reviews on the back cover, but because i didn't find what i was looking for in that book i put it back on the shelf,on my left was the shop assistant and on the other side my mother, when i put this book back on the shelf behind all the other books it was behind when i picked it out, i walked away, and yes it happened, THE BOOK FELL OFF THE SHELF out of it's neat little place and from behind 3 other books that were placed at an angle on the shelf. The other books did not fall, only the one that i had picked up to look at, and it fell with the back cover facing up, and there on the back of the cover was the picture i was looking for, my mother mouthed the very words that this book was trying to tell me BUY ME! and so i did. Back then i was new to the world of crystals and am relatively still the a bit of a novice, but after reading this book i have this yearning to find out everything there is to know about crystals and gemstones. I have read this book twice from cover to cover and still get excited, the explanations are simple the pictures are colourful and the makeup of the crystals and what they can be used for a very detailed. I have not read the other book written by Katrina Rafaell, but will seek to purchase a copy of crytstal enlightment to read.

Everyone must have this second volume of Katrina Raphaell's. Much more in-depth information is contained here as well as a large in-depth description of the healing properties of specific stones. She also has wonderful information on the master quartz crystals.
"Crystal Enlightenment, Vol. 1" and this book which is volume 2 are a must set for every serious student of Crystal Healing!

Katrina has been very sincere about working with crystals since prior to their inception as a trendy modality of helaing. A registered nurse by trade, Raphaell has combined crystal helaing with personal coaching to provide a method of more completely addressing the entire being during a crystal healing treatment. Although this book has been geared more towards working with others, any of the practises within Crystal Healing can be applied to personal growth.

The section concerning the Master Crystals is very important indeed. This is the first book to introduce the Earth Keeper crystals, and the mythology of each of the 6 crystal formations introduced is very rich, even if questionably channeled.

The healing process in this work extends into Laying-on-of-Stones, which is very intense, elabourate, and effective. This is one of the books that has left a big influence in our community, and it is very strongly reccomended to all students, especially those seeking an introduction to more advanced techniques.

This is Volume II (1987) in a series of 3 very well written and very useful books by Katrina. Volume I is "Crystal Enlightenment" (19xx)
Volume III is "The Crystalline Transmission" (1990)

Volume II demonstrates some crystal healing stone layouts (which stones to lay where on the body) to channel healing energy through the body to achieve certain outcomes. She also provides a lot of healing information within this volume, such as using crystals in meditation, releasing negative energy, time bridging (past-future), etc. She defines several additional types of crystals: Channeling Crystals, Transmitter Crystals, Window Crystals, Elestial (crystals), (crystal) Laser Wands and how to use them (often to direct the flow of energy through certain points of the body), Earthkeeper Crystals. She covers some miscellaneous tidbits, such as Herkimer Diamonds (from Herkimer, New York), the Tiger's Eye, Opal, and a few other gemstones.

If you are really interested in stones and crystals and their possible relationship to healing (yourself or others), knowledge and so much more, I suggest this series of all 3 books by Katrina. You probably want to read these volumes in order unless you already know some of this energy and crystal stuff. I also suggest "Love Is In The Earth" by Melody. Yes, that is her name, just like music. Once upon a time, I laughed at the thought of people believing crystals were more than just rocks. Now I have wisdom. (We all make mistakes.)

If you don't really understand what the heck I'm talking about, that's OK. But if you are somehow drawn to wearing jewelry made of natural stones, especially in the last several years, or collecting natural stone or crystals because they just feel somehow special to you, or just seem to be all of a sudden interested in stones or crystals, you might want to do some reading about them. Even the polished fine jewelry that many ladies wear are stones and often forms of crystals, such as topaz, peridot, amethyst, and diamonds.

If you can agree to suspend your disbelief briefly enough to read and absorb this material, you can open yourself up to a whole additional level of understanding far beyond what you ever thought possible. Know that no one book or series of books is going to make you a crystal healer or something similar. These books are part of a path of enlightenment for those who are called to receive this special knowledge.

God bless you on your quest for enlightenment. Namaste'

The second book of the trilogy enters deeply into the method called crystalhealing. Several crystals and stones are presented, and it's also as the first book an invaluable asset for anyone who wants to work with crystals and stones or just are curious about the magic of their secrets.

This book is excellent for anyone who is interested in working with crystals.I have both volumes of Ms. Raphael's books.
She is knowledgeable in the working of crystal layouts and her information is easy to read,if you are a beginner or if you are advanced her books are very good. I have worked with crystal healing for over 20 years and in all that time I have read many books on the subject. I still use these books more than any other.
