Stone therapy is now the most requested treatment in the spa/wellness industry. Taking the reader on a journey through the history, origin, description, and curative powers of stones, crystals, and semi-precious stones, this comprehensive guide explains the procedure for using Stone Therapy to enhance the body's natural healing abilities and bring peace and harmony to every area of life. As therapists we recognize that in the body the unconscious mind represses trauma and these memories are stored in various areas of the body. The power of the stones is to act as a catalyst, moving energy from over-stimulated areas and energizing depleted ones, leading to deep relaxation and relief from pain. This powerful, inspiring story focuses on mind/body consciousness and explains how stones can influence this consciousness. (187 pg. book)
