Laurelle believes the earth is a manifestation of the Divine, created by the Source of all things.

Her easy-to-understand guide to using crystals in your daily life will uplift and inspire you, helping you arrive at a deeper holistic understanding of yourself and the world around you.

This new perspective explores crystals for integrated wellness, complete with full color photos and in-depth descriptions, plus invitations to "try them in your life" and fun tidbits. The substantial opening chapter offers tips to select, care for and work with stones, highlights foundational knowledge about the body's chakra system, and shares how to engage with crystals through meditation, gridwork, and laying-on-of-stones—imparting signs to look for throughout your journey.

With a comprehensive glossary and detailed index, this is truly a must-have crystal reference guide that can connect everyone with the healing power and wisdom of stones. Drawing on her two-and-a-half decades working with minerals, rocks, gems and other vibrational healing modalities while impacting thousands globally through her educational symposiums, courses, and practitioner certifications, Laurelle's interpretation connects us to the magic and mystery of life.
