Today, many are striving to lead a healthy and balanced lifestyle. They changed their approach to living by eating nutritious foods, exercising, and embracing naturopathic and new-age ideals to healing. Energy medicine is no longer a strange word or concept for most of us. There is an abundance of healing modalities that span the globe, all with the intent of helping us healing quantumly, holistically, energetically, and vibrationally. They usually encompass the whole mind, body and spirit collectively so we can bring our body back into balance. And all of these modalities can be enhanced and expanded with healing tools like crystals.

Crystals come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and have different attributes and vibrational characteristics. Their varieties are immense. You can get them in raw form, geodes, and tumbled. They can be found in Merkaba, orb, heart, wand, cube, pyramid, and numerous other shapes. Like many, I’ve been fascinated with crystals and always wanted to expand my knowledge and learn how to use them effectively. I recently added three new crystal titles to my metaphysical library and they are rich in practical wisdom and uses. Whether you are well-versed, deeply interested, or just curious, these books are great resources.

Crystal Rhythms

Crystal Rhythms, Exploring the Energy Potentials of Crystals & Stones is a reference guide to 80 crystals and gemstones. You will glean insight into the Earth power each of these precious stones and crystals offers. This book also shares how each person has their own bioelectrical rhythm and hones in on how to find crystals or stones that work in harmony with our personal rhythm. When that happens, you will experience the exchange of beneficial energy from that crystal. It’s the slight variation of frequency that makes all the difference in the world in how you will benefit when using certain crystals and stones.

People have used these precious gems for a variety of reasons including protection, luck, alleviate stress, improve creativity, clear and charge chakras, meditation, creating a grid, repel negative energy, enhance intuition and so many more. In this guide, you’ll also learn how to cleanse, smudge, and program your crystals, and various healing techniques.

The color of each crystal is also significant and you’ll learn what they are best used for. Then you’ll dive into the 80 crystals and discover their innate qualities and how to use them effectively in your daily life. You may be familiar with many of the crystals and introduced to several new ones. Charoite is linked to the 3rd Eye and Crown chakra and can be used for spiritual cleansing. Have you heard of Vesuvianite? As the name implies, it was found near Mount Vesuvius. One use is to clear negative vibrations from your auric field. Crystal Rhythms is great for experienced or newbie crystal users.

Some are recharged in sunlight or starlight, while others are smudged, rinsed with cold water, or left out in light rain. You’ll also discover how to use each crystal effectively for cleansing, clearing, decision making, protection from EMF’s, and resisting negative earth energies. It’s an awesome resource!
