Synopses & Reviews
Well-known for their guides to selecting crystals to promote healing and enhance human relationships, the Group of 5 turn their attention to the ways in which precious stones can support the emotional and physical health of children. While crystals and their properties can be an enigma to many adults, the authors say, children and adolescents are innately sensitive to the energetic qualities of stones as they have fewer mental barriers and are still responsive to the natural environment and its healing powers. Since children react rapidly and effectively to the energy of crystals, they can benefit greatly from carrying them in their pockets, or wearing them as bracelets or necklaces. In addition, stone elixirs are easy to use and are an efficient aid for parents seeking to help a child in need of particular treatment or therapy. This book provides parents with all the information they need to choose the right crystals to support their child's health and happiness.
