Description

A full-color guide to using crystal wands in bodywork and energy medicine

• Explores the healing properties and indications for more than 70 crystal wands

• Explains how the shape of a crystal wand amplifies the crystal’s energetic effects and provides long-lasting results

• Provides step-by-step instructions for crystal-wand techniques in massage and reflexology, in energy work such as aura tuning and chakra balancing, and for protection, power, and relaxation

The healing powers of crystals and gemstones were known more than eight hundred years ago by the mystic Hildegard von Bingen and as far back as two millennia ago by the Greek physician Dioskurides. In this full-color illustrated guide, Ewald Kliegel explains the benefits of incorporating crystal wands into your bodywork and healing practice and details the techniques of doing so.

Exploring the energetics of crystals and their interactions with the physical and energy bodies, including the overall sense of well-being they impart that underlies their other beneficial effects, the author explains how the versatile shape of a crystal wand amplifies the crystal’s energetic effects and offers advantages in massage and reflexology over other shapes of crystals and stones. The larger rounded end can act as a crystal sphere for massaging knots or large areas, whereas the tapered end is ideal for stimulating reflex zones, targeting acupressure points, and tracing meridian lines.

Starting with the foundational set of three wands to begin your toolkit: Rock Crystal, Red Jasper, and Aventurine, the author examines the healing properties and indications for more than 70 crystal wands, some easily available and others quite rare. He shows how easily-available Amethyst clears the head, relaxes muscle tension, benefits the lungs, nerves, and skin, aids digestion and constipation, helps dissolve blockages and addictive behavior, and combats fatigue. He explains how crystal wands can be divided into 3 energetic categories--neutral, stimulating, or balancing--and details how to select the proper wand or wands for each healing situation. The author provides step-by-step instructions for incorporating crystal wands into massage and reflexology treatments, for their use in energy medicine, specifically for internal tuning of the aura and balancing the chakras, and for using crystal wands for protection, power, and relaxation. He also explores the use of crystal-infused oils and balms to increase the healing effects of massage.

Helping you to enhance your bodywork practice or advance your self-healing work with crystals, this practical guide reveals not only the many healing applications of crystal wands but also the sheer beauty of these powerful energetic tools.

This is an great book full of beautiful illustrations. I loved the pictures of the crystals and would love to own a set of these wands just for their beauty. The book was very easy to understand and the illustrations and instruction was pitched just at the right level. I thought the pictures that had been overlaid with drawings of the corresponding body part or affected area were excellent. What a brilliant way to make the connection. Overall a very good read. Thank you

This book is just down my street, I have loved crystals for a long time now and enjoy their presence in my home for many a year.

I trained as a massage therapist nearly 21 years ago and have always wanted to learn how to use crystals within the massage, so when I was able to have a chance to get my mitts on this new book, I jumped at the chance :)

This book is well written and reads like a dream, I am sure the author had some crystals around him when writing it because you can feel the way he writes is so informative and is obviously passionate about his work.

The Author has worked within this field for more than 35 years and you can tell, it is a very informative book and goes into teaching you about more than 70 different crystal wands.

He details each crystal and how to use it within an energy working treatment, ie, massage, reflexology, chakra balancing and aura tuning.

The information is a step by step formation and is a must for anyone in this field to read and digest.

There is such a lot of information within this books it is almost impossible to write a decent review for I feel that my words have not given this book enough credit, I really loved immersing myself into the words and tried to soak up as much information as possible, but also, a great tool for dipping in and out of.

The book is dotted with great illustrations and photographs too.

This man obviously has a wealth of knowledge and he has successful trapped in-between these pages, I am for sure going to purchase a copy for my collection in January next year, and if you are serious about this aspect of healing and field, then your bookshelf would be bare without this.

I will indeed look into the other books that he has written :)

I received a PDF from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
As of lately, I am into well being, meditation, yoga and massage therapy. So this book peaked my interest as the subject of massage with crystals is completely new to me.
The books has great visuals that provide great illustration for the reader. I will invest in a crystal to experience some of the uses especially for my feet.
This book contains a wealth of information and it will take some time to digest. Great Book, I highly recommend it!
