THE WAY OF STONES AND CRYSTALS (Régina Martineau)

The human body is surrounded by an energy field, the vital field. This field is divided into a series of frequencies manifesting through energy gates, the chakras. Thanks to the radiation of these centers, we experience the subtle experience of reality, consciousness and health. It is by knowing and balancing this energy field with the harmonization of the chakras that we have the possibility of acting on ourselves and healing ourselves, stones and crystals are magnificent and powerful tools that help us, with their vibrational signature, to act on our bioenergetic system. Stones also accompany us on our personal journey to know ourselves better. This book aims to allow everyone to evolve freely on the "path of stones and crystals" using simple bioenergetic techniques to put the energy body in resonance with the frequencies of the mineral world.
