Crystal Resonance: High Vibrational Well-Being from the Earth and Beyond

by Kerry Nelson Selman

Crystal Resonance: High Vibrational Well-Being from the Earth and Beyond is the second edition of the first Crystal Resonance book ... revised, revamped, retitled, and now republished! This second edition expands the information in response to comments and questions from my readers and from listeners to the guided meditations on YouTube—I am in gratitude to you all … this second edition is a true co-creation and I thank all who have participated in its creation.

Crystal Resonance: High Vibrational Well-Being from the Earth and Beyond sets the platform and opens the door for the rest of the three-book Crystal Resonance series. Books two and three will be published over the next year—Crystal Resonance 2 will focus on using fourteen new combinations for healing and will be released in November.

At our very essence, we are Spirit with limitless tools at our disposal to help navigate this life in physical. Crystal Resonance: High Vibrational Well-Being from the Earth and Beyond shows us how to combine gifts from Mother Earth to enhance our natural connection to our innate spark of Divinity, Archangels, and Higher Self … and how to fearlessly embrace a life well lived that is supported by the wonder of All That Is.

Kerry teaches the synergy and life-enhancing resonance that occurs when we combine specific crystal stones and essences, flower essences, essential oils, and practices to facilitate our reconnection with all that we are. Kerry feels a deep connection with Spirit and writes personally as she openly shares her own life ‘moments’ with the crystal combinations.

Each of us is gifted free will—it is inherent, part of the package when we come forth into physical. We each get to choose every step of the way, and the choice to enhance our innate connection with All That Is remains with each of us.

For those who enjoy honoring Spirit within, and for those looking to change and embrace high vibrational well-being, the gifts in Crystal Resonance: High Vibrational Well-Being from the Earth and Beyond are waiting to be explored and celebrated.

Thanks again to you all for the feedback and support of the first edition and gratitude and appreciation to all who have supported the release of this second expanded edition. Love the new cover ... and the new title … and may you all enjoy the well-being that is yours and shine bright!

I am grateful to have received this book from the author Kerry Nelson Selman! Thank you Booktasters for giving me a chance to choose this book!

Genre:
Non-Fiction, Healing, Self-help, Guide

Review:
Crystals are gifts from Mother Nature. As someone who loves crystals, when I saw this book – I was excited and couldn’t wait to read!

The book is divided into two parts:
In Part one, starting with the Energy body and seven chakras, the author describes essential details in such a clear and concise manner that it is easier to grasp the information. Then the author moves on to explain how crystals work, how to choose crystals and how to make Crystal essences. Then the author concentrates on developing a whole synergistic practice using essential oils, flower essences and meditation to achieve a wholesome benefit of increasing our vibrations using Crystals.

In Part two, the author chooses different crystals, describes their properties, and shows how the holistic practices can be applied to get maximum positive vibrations from the Crystals.

The author has provided such a wealth of information – it truly felt good to learn. Everything is crisp and easy to follow. However, it would take time and efforts on our part to follow the same. It is not a typical one time read book. The practices listed there are meant to be followed for life.

What I loved the most was the author choosing thirteen of popular Crystals (each meant for different purpose e.g., Green Aventurine resonates with the heart chakra. It helps in getting clear perception, offers protection and aids in choosing from heart) and not only gave instructions of how to use essential oils, flower essences and Crystal essences in conjunction with the Crystals but also lays down step by step process of meditation.

The author has shared meditation tracks on YouTube which can be used along with the book. Irrespective of your faith, this is a holistic process which can clear our minds, pull us out of our negative thought patterns and raise our vibrations to a much more positive state. There is no right or wrong way in following the practices listed in the book!

The book also has illustrations of each of the chosen Crystal, two short tables for reference and ends with listing short affirmation and YouTube links for guided meditation for each Crystal.
The author has couple of more books in this series which I hope would build upon the knowledge shared in this book.

I will keep reading and following the practices listed here. Through this, I will be surrounded by beautiful Crystals. What more can I ask for?

If you’re looking for enriching knowledge about Crystals and curious how to get better use out of them in our lives, make sure to grab this book! Also, check out Crystal Resonance channel on YouTube!

I received this book in electronic format to read in exchange for an honest review.
To get straight to the point, I would advise to get this book in paper format as a reference and more in line with its spiritual contents.

If you are interested in natural, holistic therapy for spirit, mind and body, or energy medicine, and interested in combining different types of therapy then this is an ideal starter. After an introduction on understanding the energy body, describing the chakras and more, thirteen crystals are matched with an essential oil, a bach flower essence and an archangel to create a synergy. Each of these elements is discussed energetically, with beautiful language and in great detail. For each of the combinations 3 types of meditations are then described and one is also provided as a guided meditation online. That's also the most important reason a digital version of this book might be handy, although all meditations can be found together on the crystal resonance youtube channel of the author, together with a lot of other meditations.

This is not a book you read from cover to cover. This is a book that you keep as an reference and an inspiration to start looking for one or more crystals you think might help you, or a whole set of crystals if you haven't got them yet and a pendulum, and start experimenting. This book is the start of a whole new journey into the world of energy medicine and vibrations : crystals, essential oil fragrances, angel spirits and more if you want to.

There are 2 more books in the same sense, describing other crystals and their combinations. I can imagine if you have read one of these books and you're hooked, you might well want to read and have the others as well.
I'm hooked.

Last but not least, there is also a guided course Vibrational Oneness by Kerry Selman online at Udemy. The first step to becoming a professional energy healer?

Be however you choose to be … and then be all that you choose to be, and shine bright!

Crystal Resonance is a store of knowledge for those seeking to take a different path of living and wellness.
Through Crystals, Essential Oils, Flower Essences, Spiritual Connection through Archangels, and Meditation.
It is a treasure trove of information on these subjects to say the least.

The author lays out this information in a step by step manner, that is easy for the reader to follow and understand — both for beginners and experienced people practicing it, and also those with an interest to know about these.
I had little knowledge about crystals especially, and how they work with essential oils. And also with archangels. And had always wanted to know and learn. This book clarified it for me and I now have a better understanding of it.

It is a book that is written in depth and done so in an organized manner. Making it easy to read and grasp the information with ease and clarity. It is a helpful companion for those living this kind of life and following that path to wellness.

It is inspirational, educative, informative, and mind-opening. It has been a learning experience for me and enlightening to the mind. Like a light was switched on!
It is written simply, and with passion. The author’s experience, love, knowledge of this practice comes through clearly and adds to the reader’s conviction on these subjects.
I certainly intend to read more of the Crystal Resonance Series to delve further so as to gain even more knowledge and a much clearer and better understanding.
Thank you, Kerry, For writing this book and helping others towards wholesome wellness.

Crystal Resonance: High Vibrational Well-Being from the Earth and Beyond was written by Kerry Nelson Selman and was first published on 2015 by Llewellyn Publications under the title “Crystal Resonance: Combining Gemstones, Essential Oils & Flower Essences for Enhanced Well-Being”. The book's second and revised edition was published in 2018 by Shadowlands Publishing.
This book is about Kerry’s personal experience with crystals, essential oils and flower essences, and what she has learned about it. It teaches about what are the best combinations that can create the higher crystal resonance, and it also suggests some ways to meditate including these unions. It’s necessary to mention that the knowledge and techniques this book offers don’t replace the medical advice of physicians.
Kerry lives in Australia and identifies herself as an author, energy alchemist and healer. She’s been studying for a very long time and has multiple diplomas in Naturopathy, Herbal and Nutritional Medicine, Aromatherapy and in Advanced Crystal Healing and also, some certificates in Reiki (so yeah, she knows what she’s talking about). Crystals, essential oils and flower essences are always with her, and they are also in her daily meditations.
The book includes a table of contents, a foreword, and an introduction at the beginning, and then it’s divided in two big parts: the first one gives the reader some context and knowledge about energy, chakras, crystals, oils, essences, spirit connections and about the important power of synergy; the second part contains 13 synergistic crystal combinations and practices.
To read this book, you don’t need to be a professional on crystals and energy, all you need to know is carefully explained throughout this volume. But, it would be advisable to the potential readers to be open minded and to be familiar with (or at least intrigued by) the main topics. Anyway, it’s worth mentioning that age isn’t a limiting factor: this book can be read by anyone interested.
The way Kerry writes, to put it in words, is gentle, sensitive and calming (it’s not hard to see that she loves what she does). It isn't demanding and doesn’t force the readers to do anything a certain way but, instead, it encourages them to try, see and learn for themselves what suits them best. Kerry reiterates there isn’t only one correct way to use crystals, oils and flower essences, she simply suggests certain combinations that offer the highest resonance.
Personally, I would totally recommend this book to anybody who’s interested in learning about this kind of stuff. It’s a long book (over 400 pages) and I think it’s worth reading. Luckily for those readers who, like me, can’t get enough with 400 pages, there are two more Crystal Resonance volumes (that I can't wait to read).
I finish my review with my favorite quote from the book:

“Yielding is not backing down; it is not giving in. Yielding is taking into account all who will be hurt (including oneself) by the fallout of continuing.” (page 133)

Crystal Resonance - Part 1 explores the combination of 13 highest resonance, it is the mixture of certain types energy of crystals with oil and flower essences and aromatherapy.

I liked the way the author explained these things with some of her personal experiences and expirements. It's not my subject and I don't have much knowledge and understanding about such concepts but the book with its easy and understandable language or way makes it interesting.

Though I had a great time while reading this book but still there were certain things which made me questions than answers. Angels are archetypes or something which we still truly can't understand?
Learning about precious stones, oils and flowers- we all can understand and completely relate to some extent but when it comes to spiritual things, it made me bit confused. The medication part too was a interesting one but I found it little bit stretched, which made me kind of bored.

Maybe just because it's not my subject but people with interest in such concepts should definitely read this at least once.

Book: Crystal Resonance...
By: Kerry Nelson Selman.
(2018, 62 pages)


Kerry's Crystal offers readers an introduction to a subject that feels fresh and original. The author presents the material with clarity and seriousness, creating a text that is both informative and reflective. The inclusion of a detailed table of contents adds value by helping readers navigate the material effectively. The choice of language is precise, and the narrative often encourages self-reflection, which strengthens the overall reading experience.

There are some areas where the work could be further enhanced.
Visual elements such as photographs of oils, crystals before and after the burning process, and flowers would enrich the content and support the explanations. The transition between certain chapters occasionally feels abrupt, which disrupts the flow of reading. This may be related to the e-book formatting, but it can still create confusion. Finally, the conclusion doesn't provide the sense of closure that many readers might expect, leaving the ending less impactful than the main body of the text.

Despite these limitations, the book succeeds in delivering moments of real insight. Many of which remain with the reader long after finishing. For example:

• We are all such complex creatures, each of us capable of extraordinary creativity—we create great joy, but we more often create such unnecessary struggle in our efforts to control and organize everything.

• without movement we cannot grow,
physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually.

• The body is a self healing mechanism. If we
choose to facilitate that healing by using vibrational gifts from the Earth, then wellness and well-being will radiate through us and from us.


And this quotation reflects the strength of the author’s perspective and the value of the work as a whole. Crystal demonstrates genuine commitment to its subject, and with some refinement in structure and presentation, it holds the potential to reach a wide audience and leave a lasting impression.

I would also like to express my huge thanks to BookTasters who offered me the opportunity to read this book, as it has been both an informative and meaningful experience.

This is a book that I would have overlooked when shopping at the bookstore because it is not at all the type of reading that catches my attention, but I am someone who is curious and I always like to learn a little about what you come along , so is reading, I manage to maintain my interest by showing and talking about topics that I was not looking to learn about, but that it does not hurt to have known.

It is satisfying to hear how someone talks about what they like and what they love. On each page the author notes how passionate she is about these topics and how much she enjoys sharing her knowledge of her.

Personally, I am not someone who pays much spiritual attention and I do not pay much attention to certain parts of nature, but here the author managed to awaken my curiosity. In each chapter he took the time to explain in great detail everything about crystals, oils and more, along with their characteristics, uses and benefits, and to do so he used simple and clear language, making it quite easy to understand what he was explaining . . and without trying to force people to change their lifestyle or force them into doing so. At all times she makes it clear that she is only the bearer of the information with which she intends to be of help and guidance, but that the final decision must be up to each person.

[Het · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simple sentence but real interesting information. The simplicity in the writing really works in favour because the book revolves around the topic not many are familiar with or resonate with.
I guess even the author knew that since part 1 contains real basic but makes good understanding of the topic and all basic necessary background information is well explained.
The part two is where different crystals use are explained with respect to the basics explained in part 1. Everything is nicely explained in stepwise and systematic manner. Plus added bonus is author has put personal experience also.
Also I absolutely loved the table with all the information regarding the stones categorized at the end.
What didn't work is that part 1 requires a little editing so that the information can be processed easily.
Overall a good read.

[Boyko Ovcharov · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very interesting book which deals with semi-precious stones/gemstones, crystals, oils and flower essences. The author masterfully places the above-mentioned elements in a spiritual context without overdoing things.

The book features all the necessary details, explanations, research, practical examples and personal input/experience.

Moreover, it reveals a holistic and innovatove mindset that is essential for achieveing a higher level of well-being, health, gratitude and overall life satisfaction.

In conclusion, it is really positive with uplifting messages.

Suitable for both experts and novices.

Coming from someone who loves crystals, I liked this. I really do. It's definitely an eye-opener for me and I'm sure (once they have read this) for others as well, in showing crystals connecting the earthly energies with those from beyond. The author seamlessly weaves together a tapestry of ancient wisdom, modern insights, and practical guidance, making this book a valuable resource for both beginners and seasoned crystal enthusiasts. This book is a well-crafted and informative guide that navigates the intersection of science and spirituality.

p.s. my fav crystals are rose quarts and selenite <3

It was 2020 when I started to be so interested in crystals, and I got so excited when I found out about this book.
It is very informative, and the writing style is simple, which makes it easier to understand, especially for a beginner like me. Everything is written systematically, or in an organized manner, making it easy to look for something specific.
I also love that there is a step-by-step meditation guide for every crystal, as well as the table at the end of the book.
All in all, this book is insightful and a good read, I will surely reread this.

I found this both a pleasant and interesting read. I'm somewhat interested in crystals but don't know a huge amount about them, so I enjoyed reading about the different uses and benefits. I liked the meditation exercises too. I thought the information in this book was very accessible, so if you're interested in learning more about crystals, you may want to give it a try.

[Jamila Danhassan · Rating 3 out of 5]

For anyone interested in crystals, essential oils, flowers, and meditation. Their role in natural healing and holistic medicine. A worthy read.

Thank you Booktasters for giving me the chance to review this book.
