If you are like I am and are
always looking for unique natural ways to heal and refresh the body,
these two new books are a welcome find. Gem Water, was
created by expert authors
Joachim Goebel and Michael Gienger.
Here, they have taken their expertise in healing with crystals and
put together a program using both the unique properties crystals,
coupled with the healing power of water. During my own course
of study I've come across the healing method of Bach Flower
Essences, you may have also. In this mode of healing, flowers
are placed in purified water, soaked, then removed, leaving behind
their healing "essence." Gem Water works in this fashion, as
well.
In
the book, the authors first take readers on a journey through their methods of choosing stones based
on their healing qualities. Next, we are instructed how to
cleanse them for use. Here you will find stones with familiar names
like Amethyst and Rose Quartz or some you may never have heard of
like Larimar and Diopside. Finally, authors give
detailed approaches to creating these water remedies in effort to
soothe and heal the body. Here's a sample of how you can use Gem
Water once
you've created it according to their specifications:
"Cleansing
A Room:
Place some gem water in a bottle with a spray mechanism and spray it
around the rooms in which you
live and work to energetically cleanse and improve the atmosphere.
Depending on the crystal use, you can
clear relevant room spaces of undesirable influences and at the same
time activate the
calming properties of the gems. (pg. 35)"
Be advised: authors also offer cautionary information. This so the layperson can use
these remedies to enhance the energies of the body. To get
started, do be sure to

of what Gem Water can do for you and your health.
Crystal Balance was written by
Monika
Grundmann,
a professional in the field of
massage and beauty. Crystal Balance offers many of the same
principles as Gem Water only more tactile. She will show you
how to heal with crystals using a hands-on approach. Although I would consider this a book
geared toward health care
professionals, for the layperson, it offers much information to
enhance the
beauty of the body, as well as improving our inner glow using the
healing properties of crystals. Here is a sample of
what it means to be in Crystal Balance in the author's own words:
"The
aim of Crystal Balance:
The aim of Crystal Balance is to create beauty through hands-on
treatment and relaxation.
Of course, the use of the crystals during the massage can and will,
in addition, bestow positive effects
on the physical, mental and spiritual levels. This can also be
encouraged through wearing the
crystals in question after the massage. (pg 88)"
Crystal Balance, like Gem Water is written in a friendly format
which first gives instruction for the choosing and
cleansing of the stones. Again, this is done by first
identifying the effect
that is desired. Next, Crystal Balance offers its reader the procedures for
using Crystal Massage to both cleanse
the body's energies, as well as de-stress and balance the
body from the ill effects of society.
Individually each book offers much in the ways of natural healing
using fun relaxing methods. One can use these references to rebalance the body in a healthy
natural fashion.
The books in tandem, from this health journalists view, offer a healthful package that promises natural
cleansing and inner beauty that only could come at the hands of God
and nature.
