Crystalline Illumination: The Way of the Five Bodies Review: A long anticipated followup to the crystal trilogy - Katrina Raphaell has really put forth an excellent body of work in this volume. I have personally been waiting years to read this material, and now it is finally available. I didn't quite know what to expect from this book. I was initially hoping for a more direct sequel to her earlier writings, and although this does build upon the concepts contained therein, Crystalline Illumination primarily serves to introduce new material. This book focuses on evolving our conscious presence here on earth by activating what Raphaell terms the "high bodies." These consist of the High Mind, High Heart, High Physical Body, the Eyes in the Knees, and the Eyes in the Feet. While these are not exactly chakra points or levels to the aura, they do have correlations to our non-physical anatomy. Each of the five bodies has integration points that correspond to energy centers in the body, and each represents a state of being on the spiritual path. As we activate and integrate the material in this book we really grow and progress. Each of the five bodies is given its own chapter with information on what function it serves, what color ray or rays activate it, and which crystals may best serve to work with it. The author has included several favorites in this work, but there are many new crystals that have never appeared in her writings before, including Erythrite, pyromorphite, astrophyllite, rainbow obsidian, and many others. The material in this book is new and innovative, so it naturally follows that the stones she recommends are also innovative and relatively new to crystal lovers. I really thought this book would be a little "out there" judging by the names of some of the five bodies, but it is delightfully well researched and grounded. There is some additional material concerning the nature of sacred geometry and its relevance to the order of the universe and the mineral kingdom, although I feel that it is in need of further expansion. I have a feeling that most readers will thoroughly enjoy this book and lovingly add it to their crystal libraries. Review: Facinating to read. - The 'Chrystalline Trilogy' books are three of the best books on crystals I've every read. Contains layouts and chakra information plus the use of individual crystals and the importance of combinations of crystals. Every time you read them new information pours out. These books have information on all the well know crystals and are a wonderful resource for crystal information. You need these for basic information. Many layouts which are complex as well as simple ones to use. 'The Crystalline Illumination: The Way of the Five Bodies' introduces the use of many well known as well as many newer and hard to get as well as some very expensive crystals. It's so interesting to read, I'm glad I purchased it. I will not invest in buying more crystals but I appreciate the information. Facinating to read.

Katrina Raphaell is the most knowledgable crystalogist I have ever read
She is very insightful and has great intuition and empathy towards the living energy that is contained or affected by crystals. I have read quite extensively on crystals and find her four part book series to be among the most useful.

Crystalline Illumination - The Way of the Five Bodies by Kartrina Raphaell
This book offers the practice of walking the talk - living fully as a spiritual being on this planet. It offers practical crystal layouts to anchor the higher bodies (energy systems) into the physical, how to keep them anchored along with the related gemstones. It ties in the relevance of the ancient civilisations, galactical realms, our anchor with the Earth along with our spiritual masters. This book follows on, yet can stand alone, from Katrina's trilogy : Crystal Enlightenment: The Transforming Properties of Crystals and Healing Stones (Crystal Trilogy, Vol. 1) Crystal Healing: Applying the Therapeutic Properties of Crystals and Stones (Crystal Trilogy, Vol. 2) The Crystalline Transmission: A Synthesis of Light (Crystal Trilogy, Vol. 3)

I had the authors previous books and had found this book at some crazy prices. However, I was fortunate to gain a copy at a reasonable price. Although i bought the kindle version first, thinking i would be unable to pick up a copy at a sensible price, it is not the same as a hard copy, so i was grateful to get access to not only the book but also from a very good seller. I was so pleased with the book, it was just like new with a protective cover. i was also sent an additonal gift. I highly recommend this book if you are really interested in crystal and their healing uses. I also recommend the sellar nine worlds bookstore. The contents of the book are really interesting and if you love crystals and their uses it is a perfect book to gain a differing viewpoint on layouts than in many other crystal books. i would say it would not be a book for a complete beginnner, however the authors earlier books would be a good starting point
