The Healing Power of Crystals
by Magda Palmer Cordingley
This book made such an impact that its title - "The Healing Power of Crystals" - became the catch-cry of followers of alternative health and healing! Although it can still be purchased in its present forms, I am working on another edition which will out very soon.
Originally The Healing Power of Crystals was written because I was asked to write a book de-crying any healing power in crystals, but without a doubt the evidence started to mount that certain types of crystals have positive impact on the well being of certain individuals and certain ailments.
I began investigating by interviewing people who said that crystals had either healed or given them pain relief. Through people who had experienced unusual healings I was introduced to two gentlemen in Bath/England who were having the most astonishing results placing Crystals behind lights. I suddenly realized that light, colours and shapes of crystals have a strong impact on harmony, balance and well being.
Further investigation revealed that minerals and gemstones are used in specific ways in religious artefacts. Through my persistence I was lucky to meet religious scholars who had an understanding of the esoteric knowledge of how gemstones support the power and authority of the institutions. This opened my eyes to a whole new world that had previously been hidden from me and to most other people I knew.
I became obsessed with the impact of gemstones on people and I was perplexed that some individuals reported "bad luck" whenever they wore certain jewellery. This lead me to re-assess traditional matching of birthsigns and astrology with the characteristics of gemstones that were now being revealed. Interestingly a lot of the commonly advised birthstones were creating disharmony to their wearers because their energy was not in harmony with the wearer.
Having always been interested in Astronomy, Astrology and planetary influences on our lives I was amazed to find that when matching gemstones with heavenly bodies by chemical composition and physical characteristics, similar influences were evident.
My book was the first in modern times to bring our current understanding of the planets and satellites and their chemical compositions and physical characteristics into line with gemstones.
I'm proud of this book for many reasons, the most important being letters & emails from readers telling of harmony and balance they've attained since adding The Healing Power of Crystals to their libraries. I sincerely thank those who have contacted me on this subject. I've learned of Healing Circles and Clinics for both humans and animals are now basing much of their healing tools on my findings.
These are covers of "The Healing Power of Crystals", first released in 1988.
