Crystal Mindfulness: Still Your Mind, Calm Your Thoughts and Focus Your Awareness with the Help of Crystals
A world-renowned crystal guru reveals how introducing crystals to your daily mindfulness practice can help you improve focus-awareness and stay in the present moment.
Are you looking for a better way to practice mindfulness? Crystals can help in so many ways. They have been around for millions of years—and in their terms, the passing of decades is merely the blink of an eye—so they offer new ways of perceiving your life. Gazing into the depths of a crystal offers
• instant clarity and stillness of mind
• a point of soft focus—so you can stay in the present moment without judging it or needing it to change
• peace from your mind’s chatter
• relief from anxieties and anger, both past and present
• guidance, so you can make a decisive move (when it’s appropriate)
• a deeper connection with yourself
In Crystal Mindfulness , #1 bestselling crystal expert Judy Hall covers what mindfulness is, how it works, its benefits, and how crystals can aid you in your everyday mindfulness practice. She also examines topics that are relevant to your mindfulness practice, such as staying grounded, becoming centered, shutting off the chattering mind, and accepting yourself.
The second half of the book is a comprehensive crystal mindfulness directory featuring 24 beautifully photographed crystals. Each description of the crystal and its benefits is accompanied by a mindfulness exercise, as well as other features such as keywords and a Crystal Reflection to use for instant access to inner calm. Flick through the pages until a picture catches your eye and work with the crystal as suggested—or target your crystal mindfulness practice more specifically using the book’s headings. When you tune into the crystal you need, the magic will happen.

I have been a Judy Hall fan for a while now, owning several copies of her works, including but not limited to 101 Power Crystals and The Crystal Bible (Volume One and Two), so I am very familiar with her style and work.
I love how thorough Judy is with her subject matter. Her books are references, you can go back to, over and over again, and this is no difference with Crystal Mindfulness. I love her meditations, as well as the always awesome photography, which does not only make this a very informative, but also a visually beautiful book.
If you are new to mindfulness, this book offers plenty of information that makes the introduction to what seems such a complex subject matter easy and gives you a chance to use crystals as your focus point. As someone who gets easily distracted, and needs visual queues to deepen my meditation, her suggestions helped a lot. And yes, you can, if you are open enough, connect, as she mentioned with the images of the crystals, if you don’t have access to the real thing.
This book is an awesome addition to my collection of books about crystals, and particularly Judy Hall’s books, which did not disappoint.
If you are new to crystals though, I do recommend that you start with her book The Crystal Bible for a more comprehensive reference on how to work with them, and integrate them into your life.

Dont you love these kind of books. Mindfulness and meditation go hand in hand but if you add crystals to the scenario a whole lot of different things happen. Crystals help stop the chatter that runs through your mind when using mindfulness in meditation. The book is interesting because it provides help and guidance on how to use the crystals.

I was really disappointed with this book. It just gives a very general review of what mindfulness is. I had hoped that there would be meditations and exercises in it. But there's nothing like that in the book. There is just a list in the back suggesting what a few selected crystals bring to mindfulness. Also alot of the crystals suggested are of the more expensive type. It says you can use the pictures as a meditation aid. But to me that's not the same as holding the stone in my hand.

It’s good at giving you a good insight on crystals and I would recommend it to any beginners who want to have a deeper understanding on crystals and I like how it is short because sometimes loads of writing about a certain topic can come across as overwhelming

This was a great introduction to crystals! It does what it says on the tin and gives a great introduction on crystals and their uses in mindfulness. I’ll deffo be referring back to this one when I’m looking at getting more crystals :p

I would like to thank Watkins Publishing for providing me with a free electronic ARC of this book, via Netgalley, in exchange for an open and honest review.
Okay… I find it really hard writing this review – I’ve actually been putting it off for a couple of weeks. Why? Well, I want to say good things about ‘Crystal Mindfulness’ but I just didn’t fully connect to it as much as I had hoped.
I’m someone who believes in both Mindfulness and the focal point of energy from within you that can come from crystals – yes, I’m a hippy dippy weirdo, I thought we established that years ago! :-D
And I did find some of the mindfulness side of this book good… but I also felt I was only getting half the information sometimes. I really can’t place my finger on exactly what it was… but something just seemed to be lacking. And that sucks as the book is not to fault as it contains some very comprehensive and useful information. The sucky part is me and my failure to connect like I had hoped.
I also don’t agree with the fact that just looking at pictures of the crystals has the same effect as holding one. That just doesn’t sit well with me at all sorry.
Finally, the list of crystals wasn’t in alphabetical order or even, from memory, grouped into specifics – energy, heart, healing, etc. And, well, Ms Pedantic Me likes her reference material to be grouped and categorised in an organised manner before I am comfortable in using a book again and again. Yes there is an index, but I would much rather be able to thumb through to the right point that have to look things up each time.
Honestly, I really do feel all the issues I had with ‘Crystal Mindfulness’ come from me the reader and not the book itself. I feel it was just a failure to connect situation.
Would I recommend this book for others?
Probably not. I mean, this was the first crystal book I have read that also focusses on Mindfulness, but it just didn’t sit well with me as being a good book for people to reference. But this is solely down to my failure to connect and not the book. Don’t hate me, but I just can’t recommend something I couldn’t get into when it comes to crystals.
Would I buy this book for myself?
Pretty sure we all know the answer to that one. For me personally, there are better books on crystals (both metaphysical and scientific) and on Mindfulness out there. This book just wasn’t for me.
In summary: A lot of good and helpful information is covered in ‘Crystal Mindfulness’ but I just couldn’t connect… there was something about the layout that put me off. Reader error, not book error.
