5.0 out of 5 stars
A great place to start!, April 6, 2007
This review is from: The Crystal Healing Pack (Paperback)
I got this without quite knowing what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was just beginning to learn about crystals and wanted a place to start. This has 12 very nice stones, I was expecting them to be lesser quality since it is an inexpensive kit, but the stones are of a good size and quality. The book is very informative without being overwhelming. I am very pleased with this kit.

Patient, Heal Thyself!, April 26, 2007
This review is from: The Crystal Healing Pack (Paperback)
The Crystal Healing Kit is a convenient introduction to crystal healing. Having done some of the meditations with the tumbled stones, I think it may have helped my chronic pain and fatigue and given me a boost in energy sometimes. I have combined some of the healing techniques with the ones in the Healing Power of Your Aura book. I put some rose quartz stones in the four corners of my room and the loud music has lessened considerably in a neighborhood where people think it's their God-given right to share their "beats" with the rest of us whether we want them or not. Rose quartz is the stone of love and tranquility, according to the book, and I suppose it is working because it's been as quiet as a monastery around here most of the time since I put them in the corners. Hopefully, it will stay that way.
The author claims to have had some success with healing others with the stones and says that the Tibetans have used them traditionally to heal. No one actually knows why they heal. Where is the scientific proof that it works? Those who are open to the book don't need no stinkin' scientific proof and besides a hardcore rationalist such as a scientist will immediately dismiss with contempt the notion that a rock could heal, so there won't be any scientific tests any time soon. I will admit that a pretty little tumbled stone could heal is a romantic notion and that rosy romanticism never dies in the new age movement.
Each of the stones corresponds to one of the twelve chakras described in the book. I like to do the session that activates all twelve of them, although at first I would use just three before I learned about how to use the rest of the stones more. I've slept with them in the bed trying to heal my back. An amethyst does seem to help the recollection of dreams, although putting the stone under your pillow already serves as a reminder, so I can't say it could be solely from the power of the stone. The hardest thing is to keep up with the stones without losing them. It's best not to move them around too much and keep them in the same place, but I do like to wear them in my pockets behind my belt, or even in my underwear sometimes. Having tried several ways to heal the pain, more or less conventionally, I keep trying "stranger" things.
The book explains what the stones can do for you and the kit contains the stones to use immediately. It also explains how to use the stones and how to program and activate them for your purposes. If nothing more, at least you'll have a nice collection of stones sitting on your window sill.

Good for beginners, February 25, 2007
This review is from: The Crystal Healing Pack (Paperback)
This is a good pack to get for someone just starting out in crystal healing. You get 12 crystals that have a wide range of uses. The book is very informative, with good illustrations to show you how to make a grid for different conditions.
