The Healing Trio, by Steven George, is an alternative health guide on three holistic healing methods: Reiki, crystal healing, and essentials oils.

In addition, the book covers the seven chakras in great detail, along with their location in the body, their mantra, the color of their aura, and how to rebalance them. The Japanese spiritual healing technique, Reiki, is also discussed extensively. The author explains the various types of Reiki, their health benefits, and their methods of application. For those who are students of Reiki, there is a noteworthy section about each training level—similar to a study guide. Also, George offers the proper way to combine all three methods, in order to boost the healing capacity.

However, my favorite part is the section on essential oils. It has sensible advice on how to purchase oils—without getting ripped off—and the correct way to sample them in the store; needless to say, I jotted some notes for my next shopping trip. For example, I will no longer blot the oils directly on my skin. George names different oils and gives a small recipe for each. He further writes about the extraction process, such as enfleurage and steam distillation; it gets fairly technical at this point. The author’s knowledge on the topic is impressive; personally, this is a major positive aspect.

On the other hand, I was skeptical about the claims on crystal healing. For instance, the idea that crystals held at the body’s chakra points can heal and reduce stress. Also, the talk on vibrational energy was unconvincing; it became a negative point. Nonetheless, I was introduced to a new world of knowledge, and this book did answer many of my questions about the subject.

There is an eye-opening starter about how negative emotions can harm our physical well-being; often, the high-paced modern lifestyle is the culprit. This introduction veered more to psychology than holistic theory—either way, I saw some parallelism.

Despite my subjective view, I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. One star was docked for the grammar. I did not give it a 2-star rating since I enjoyed the essential oils section. In addition, I feel equipped to chat—without sounding uninformed—with people who use crystal healing; however, I am not sold on all the notions.

I would recommend this book to students of holistic healing or readers who are simply curious, as I was. I would not recommend it to anyone who is not interested in these types of holistic remedies.

Sounds like an interesting book. It's unfortunate that it contains grammatical errors. Although I'm not interested in essential oils and crystal healing, I would read the book out of curiosity.

This review was great! I've recently gotten very into crystal healing and have been researching reiki, funnily enough, I'm the opposite to the reviewer because of how they felt about crystal healing, I feel about the notions of essential oils. Love the fact that even though the reviewer isn't convinced, they were not 'bashing' the idea. All in all, I think it's a fair review and I have a new book to add to my reading list. Thank you.

Thank you for the kind comment. If you are starting crystal healing, I think you'll love this book. It gives lots of how-tos in that area. I had to laugh at how we are opposite (ie essential oils). Thanks for stopping by!

Curiosity is a good motivator. Thanks for the comment!

I think from the cover you expect something of a guide on massage therapy. Your review was a nice surprise as someone close to me knows Reiki and has been practicing it for decades. It would be interesting to see what she thinks of this book. Thank you for the review.

obtaining a deep understanding of the concept of chakra is something that I seek for quite a while. I think ill take a look a the book so as to see if it will end my endless doubts on Chakra and its formation. Very clear review

[Courtney Hughes]

The book sounds informative and useful, if you are into holistic healing, etc. I ‘m glad you enjoyed it so much and that it provided you enough information to be able to chat with a new group of friends!

[Wesusa]

Quite the interesting book. Not all too sure if I will like it. I do think that the errors should be fixed.

[Nqobile Mashinini Tshabalala]

I'm quite curious about Reikie, I have been for a while. I really hope the author will heed the call and edit the book. It's content seems insightful.

[Brandy_Nyongesa]

This book seems to be very interesting. I have heard of Chakras but this is something that I would want to understand more about. Great review!

[Kaushiki Parihar]

The book seems unique and interesting. I would read this book because of it's helpful guide to healing methods as I have never heard of crystal healing. Thanks for the great recommendation.
