How to Meditate with Crystals by Jolie DeMarco
Simple Ways to Change Your Life

Novice or not, this book will be of interest to those who meditate, are thinking of taking up the practice, like crystals and might consider using crystals to enhance their meditation if/when they incorporate it into their lives.

What I liked:
* The presentation/writing was easy to understand and follow.
* The discussion of frequency explained something I have heard often but never had a decent definition of.
* The way the chapters were organized
* The five methods of meditating – one doesn’t have to just sit and try to empty their mind
* The list of items that can be used to enhance meditation
* That there is something in the book for everyone
* That the crystals mentioned include some that are familiar and also some that I have not heard of before.
* That the author gives her personal experience and backstory in regard to crystals and meditation
* Concrete easy to use ideas for meditation are used including but not limited to color, mandalas, mala/prayer beads, geometric shapes and more
* That the crystals were organized alphabetically
* That there were 33 crystals AND 33 meditation practices provided
* That cleansing of crystals and how to do it was included
* That the enthusiasm of the author was felt in the words she used…her energy and frequency were high as she wrote this book.

What I didn’t like:
* Perhaps that not all the crystals I was thinking of were mentioned
* That it would be expensive to acquire all of the crystals to use in these meditations
* Knowing that no matter how much some may meditate they may never have the experience of speaking to the higher powers the author has been in contact with.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
