Healing with Crystals and Gemstones (Crystals and New Age) [Paperback]

Daya Sarai Chocron (Author), Chocron (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 2003 | Series: Crystals and New Age

This unique approach to wellness with crystals contains Daya Sarai Chocron's trademark methods including pain-relief prisms, cranial crystals, and mandala-stone patterns for increasing vitality. From curing a headache to helping the heart and other organs to overcoming arthritis and other bone-related issues, this remarkable book contains essential information for a healthier and happier life.

Chocron explains in clear terms the theory behind how gems and stones heal by interacting electromagnetically with the body. She also teaches us how to get in tune with and work with the etheric body, the subtle life force that sustains the physical body and serves as the matrix for the metabolic functions. Illness, she teaches, beginning with misalignment of either the etheric body or physical body can result in a domino effect of maladies. Imbalance in the etheric body can cause low energy depression; stress-related diseases such as shingles, ulcers, and migraines; and any number of other serious physical problems. Learn to work with crystals, gems, and the chakras to make sure everything is in proper alignment.

4.0 out of 5 stars A highly recommended primer, May 21, 2010

This review is from: Healing with Crystals and Gemstones: Balance Your Chakras and Your Life (Paperback)

This is one of the most heartfelt guides for working with minerals for healing and spiritual growth. I was elated to find it back in print and look forward to another generation of crystal lovers having access to this gem of a guidebook. Chocron's work was ahead of her time, as she began to explore the benefits of stones only recently available to the crystal community when her book was first written. She has a wide background upon which she calls to simply and clearly explain the uses of crystals. Each entry in the book includes not only the physical and emotional uses of the stones, but also delves into the deepest spiritual impact that each gem has upon us.

The only reason I didn't give this edition five stars was the quality of the photographs as well as the production value of the book itself. In the original edition, the illustrations were full-colour plates; this version has blurry black-and-white reproductions which fail to show the detail that the first printings had. The bindings of many copies of the 2005 edition are also uneven or poorly adhered. I'm not sure how long one will last if it is well loved and used daily. I highly recommend seeking the original edition from the eighties.

This review is from: Healing with Crystals & Gemstones: Balance Your Chakras and Your Life (Hardcover)

Great book. Easy to read and understand. Not too technical, like some I have encountered in the past. Great for beginners, but not TOO basic. I use it for a reference. Great color photos, too!
