Living in harmony with nature and harnessing its vital energies to help heal our bodies is the central message of this fascinating book. In the first section, Crystal Healing, the authors Sue and Simon Lilly explore the innate power of crystals and their ability to heal, to soothe and calm, and to strengthen and uplift. By placing certain crystals at precise positions around the body, the vibrational energy that they transmit can be channelled to achieve specific effects. The power and beauty of crystals has been well documented and the authors take great care to describe the qualities of each crystal and its potential use as a healing tool. The second section, Colour Healing, examines the influence of colour on our lives, and shows that through learning to understand the way we respond to the stimulus of colour, we can use its energy to promote balance and wellbeing. There are also instructions on how to use colour as a healing tool, using single colour guidance, single colour assessment and specific colour placement. The third section, Chakra Healing, provides an easy-to-follow explanation of the complex philosophy surrounding the seven chakras of the human body. Chakras are vortices of dynamic energy that have formed where two or more subtle energies meet in the body. These subtle forces play a vital role in maintaining the body's natural balance and flow of energy. This section explains the characteristics and influences of each chakra and how they affect our behaviour and emotional reactions. Armed with this knowledge you will be well equipped to make informed choices about your welfare and bring mental, emotional and spiritual harmony into your life and the lives of your family and friends.
