Well written

The latest volume of Judy Hall’s popular Crystal Prescriptions series covers a subject very close to my heart: crystal essences. As both a Witch and Vibrational Essence Practitioner, there was a lot of very juicy content for me here.Vibrational essences are made from flowers, crystals, the environment, and/or other natural sources, and contain the energetic blueprint of a perfectly balanced emotional or spiritual state. When taken orally or used topically on the skin, they gently nudge us back into a more balanced way of being. Anyone can use essences — they are safe for children, the elderly, animals, plants — and they do not interact with any orthodox medicines or procedures.In Volume 7 of Crystal Prescriptions, Hall takes the reader on a journey through crystal essences — what they are, how they work, and how to make them. She gently and clearly encourages the reader to create essences themselves and walks them through that process with examples and useful tips. There is also lots of advice about how to best choose and prepare your crystal(s) when making essences, and also how to choose essences and then take them when needed.The information here is vast and detailed; Hall covers chakras, colours, auras, astrology, and astral magic as well as a number of emotional, spiritual, and practical uses for crystal essences. She also offers advice as to which crystals are best made into essences via an indirect method so as to limit their toxicity (as some crystals are naturally toxic to humans and animals, but safe to use as an essence if prepared correctly).The main section of the book is an A-Z guide matching matching specific crystal essences with specific needs or intentions — e.g. essences for emotional and mental healing, for protection, for past life work, for abundance. and so on. Hall does not shy away from more difficult subject matter, either, and includes essences for use in addiction, trauma, and other areas. The reference material and recommended reading sections are good, too.The only chapter I found difficult was the chapter on essences for physiological symptoms and conditions; at this time, the impact of essences on physiological is less well understood, and — speaking as a Flower Essence Therapist — we cannot make any claims as to their use or validity in this area. While I have personally experienced benefits from essences with regard to certain physical conditions, I have found that the essences help as mental and emotional coping strategies in relation to (say) physical pain or illness. Therefore, I would be wary about this section of the book, but I can understand where the author is coming from here, especially when I take into account the impact of crystals as a separate holistic healing modality in their own right. I am not saying this section is wrong, because advances in holistic and orthodox health are being made all the time, but — speaking at the time of reading — I would treat it cautiously.All in all, this is a valuable and useful guide to a different method of using crystals which may be new to many readers. It’s nice to see essences handled so professionally and clearly, with so much respect and understanding. Well recommended.I received an e-ARC from the publisher, O-Books, through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for the opportunity. My review opinion is my own. I use crystals in my daily life as a part of my green witch practice and I have found this series very illuminating to my personal use of crystals. This is the "definitive" series on use of crystals.This is the perfect addition to this series ! Having read most of the series I was thrilled to receive this for review. This is a book that you will want to savor and learn much from for your crystal practice. You will find yourself referring to it often as every time you utilize this book you have much to learn.Inside the author has included list of crystals along with how to use crystals for healing, physiological issues , chakras and ancestral healing. You will find teaching here for astrological signs and planets. I found each section a wealth of information .If your new to the use of crystals or a new witch you will find this very helpful for your continued crystal practice. With each one of these books i learn more and have incorporated the teachings to my everyday practice. Very well done to the authors.

Great series of books. This book takes you from the definition of what a Crystal is, what they are used for and anything else you want to know about them. Healing with crystals is one of the most interesting parts to me. The use of them for healing doesn't mean just physical problems, but deals with addiction, PTSD and other mental health problems as well. Crystals have been used for many things over the centuries. Crystals are frequently used in conjunction with astrology, the birth signs and how to make and use your own essences. One of the most indepth books on the subject. The author cautions to use with care as some may be toxic. You can tell that the author cares about the people she writes for. I recommend this book highly. I received this book from Net Valley and John Hunt Publishing for a honest review.

Perfect

This is the most in depth book I have ever seen on gem waters, crystal elixirs/essences. It covers all kinds of crystals you can and can't use, alternate preparation methods, recipes and more. If you want to prepare your own crystal concoctions, this book has all the information offered in any class and more than any other book I have ever seen on the subject. Well worth your while.

Will be an added tool to use for my healing.
