Taking a Bath with Quartz Crystals


Book Description

Crystals are part of ancient wisdom and they have been used as tools of protection, growth, and healing for a long time. Although a crystal does not create energy, it amplifies it. Nor does a crystal heal, but it conducts healing energies that are being channeled to you by the Earth or by your spirit guides. There are many ways to use quartz crystals, but using them in water is one of the most effective ways to "soak in" what a crystal has to offer you. Bathing with crystals enhances the natural healing powers of stones, infusing these vibrational frequencies of the quartz crystal into your body for the purposes of healing, higher awareness, grounding, and meditation. Elizabeth Garzarelli has been studying the healing properties of quartz crystals for over 20 years and presents this calming and enriching book, filled with gorgeous photos and simple-to-follow instructions. In Taking a Bath with Quartz Crystals you will learn the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual benefits of 12 different healing crystal baths using Amethyst, Smoky Quartz, Lake Superior Agate, Carnelian, Bloodstone, Red Jasper, Onyx, Green Aventurine, Tiger's Eye, Rose Quartz, Clear Quartz and Lemurian Seed Crystal. You will also learn: Breathing techniques and meditation in the bath. How to select crystals to use in the bath, and which ones are safe to bathe with. How to energetically cleanse your crystals. Other potential additions to your bath to further sweeten your time in the tub as essential oils, lighting, flowers and fruits, and music. "What a nurturing and powerful book. The author walks you through a journey of deep self-care and ritual. I loved her suggestions for which crystals to use for healing ailments and all her guidance as to how therapeutic baths have been used over the centuries. An exceptional, essential read for anyone who loves to bathe and wants to take it to the next level." - Dr. Shannon South, Therapist and Author Whether the bather is 8 or 88, woman or man, active or differently-abled, a quartz crystal bath offers a soothing, transformative experience.
