We talk about putting our hearts into our work and wearing our hearts on our sleeves. There are people who are warmhearted and those willing to heal your heartache. Each of us has likely known the pangs of conflict between the head and heart. For all the trials and pains of daily living, many people are taught to distance themselves from their hearts in order to avoid folly and failure. The truth is that only in embracing the language of the heart can we truly know who we are and where we are going. Focusing on the role of crystals in the journey to wholeheartedness, Nicholas Pearson reveals how the heart, as the literal and metaphorical center of one's being, has the power to lead us to greater balance, healing, and happiness. He explores the anatomy of the physical heart and its spiritual symbolism and shows how its four chambers are related to the four elements. Offering hands-on exercises and meditations with more than 60 gemstones and minerals, each a specific heart-healing stone, the author explains how to build a better relationship with the heart as your spiritual center as well as how to fortify your heart with emotional strength, reclaim your will, and cultivate forgiveness. He shows how your heart is the coordinator of your energy field and is itself a sensory organ and information processor, working to enact healing on many levels. He also looks at the heart chakra and how the higher heart chakra is evolving. Providing stone-supported lessons for applying a heart-centered approach in daily life, from expressing yourself to nurturing romantic relationships in a meaningful way, the author shows how the journey to wholeness and wholeheartedness isn't always easy, but it cannot be undertaken without first spending time to hear the soft, gentle voice of your heart and embrace the transformational force of inner alchemy known as love.

"The chapters of Crystal Healing for the Heart are well laid out--packed with lots of information--in an easy-to-read and clear style. The way each facet of the heart and the heart energy is dealt with makes it memorable and reminds people that crystal healing is a holistic approach to well-being. The core of any dis-ease state is stress that the being is unable to process. The holistic heart is therefore a key player in easing stress and encouraging the 'letting go' of what is no longer needed. The techniques and suggestions in this book will go a long way to move each of us toward better holistic health and well-being. Thank you, Nicholas!" * Sue Lilly, author of The Crystal Healing Bible * "Nicholas Pearson is one of the best things to happen to crystal healing in the past 10 years. His books are always well researched, intelligent, fascinating, and perceptive--filled with the kind of knowledge and practical wisdom that only manifests when someone has dedicated their life to the study and mastery of their field, their craft. Yet his books are always flowing and fun to read as well--quite an achievement--and Crystal Healing for the Heart is no exception. It's the book that many people have been waiting for, and it addresses many of the most important life issues that people have: how to really love ourselves, how to love and be loved in this mixed-up modern world of ours. People need to know that Nicholas is the real deal, and I hope he will be around for many years to come, sharing his insight, sharing his wisdom." * Brian Parsons, author of the Energy Boundaries series * "Crystal Healing for the Heart by Nicholas Pearson is a marvel. Why? Because from the core, empowering information down to the practical format of the book, it brings together head and heart, as few books ever manage. We could not have a finer guide in this, during a time when we desperately need it. Thank you always, Nicholas!" * Marilyn Twintreess, coauthor of Stones Alive!
