Two popular practices—crystal and energy healing—in one great, expert handbook! Krista Mitchell (Change Your Energy) is a master at crystal healing, and with Crystal Reiki, she has created a handbook for practitioners both amateur and professional. This hot new technique combines crystal layouts with energy healing to treat a variety of ailments. Fully illustrated and easy to use, this comprehensive guide teaches the fundamentals of working with crystals and chakras; explains how healers should prepare themselves, their space, and their tools; covers four levels of healing that include auras, body, mind, and spirit; and stresses the importance of self-care for healers themselves. Known as the “Rock Whisperer,” Krista N. Mitchell has created an informative handbook for professional Reiki practitioners who would like to learn how to combine crystal healing with their Reiki sessions. She takes a thorough and practical approach, beginning with the history and science of the combined modality, and its healing impact on the human energy body including the aura and chakra systems. Krista outlines the process from the beginning, discussing ways of preparing your energy, tools and space and starting a session with a client, and provides crystal healing layouts along with case studies as examples of how she applies the protocols for physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and aura healing. She ends with self-care and spiritual support recommendations for the healer. Mitchell’s highly personal book is also her story as a healer: how she started, and what she’s learned along the way. Krista N. Mitchell is a crystal healing expert and the author of Change Your Energy: Healing Crystals for Health, Wealth, Love Luck (Sterling 2016). She has been providing crystal therapy, spiritual counsel, and professional certification programs throughout North America since 2004. She is an Ordained Interfaith Minister who has been certified as a Reiki Master-Teacher, Akashic Record Reader, and Hypnotherapist, and has trained in the Breakthrough Shadow Coaching Program at the Ford Institute for Transformational Training founded by Debbie Ford.
