This book had some nice quotes & sayings, statements on which to ponder. The author does her best to try not to end sentences with prepositions, but, like everyone, has a few slip-ups. Reading this bok takes an open mind, otherwise the entire premise sounds unbelievable. Some good meditations or ways to meditate are also outlined, along with descriptions of color power & chakras.

Unfortunately, it's obvious that this book wasn't subjected to rigorous editing. Incongruities between the written descriptions & the included illustrations occur, plus blatant mistakes in sentence structures & word choices really kept me from "getting into" this book.

The most obvious editing mistake that drove me nuts was the spacing issues. Sometimes more than 1 space would appear after a comma, or just between 2 words in a sentence. Some sentences had 2mm spaces after a full-stop (period), others had 3mm spaces. It was SO distracting & off-putting, I measured a few of the spaces to see if they were really different or if I was just imagining the mistakes!

This was a book about healing with crystals. The information could also be used in healing modalities without crystals. Had many meditations and instruction on how and when to cleanse crystals. Want to read this book again.
