As they were at the birth of the “new age” in the seventies and eighties, the stone people are speaking up quite loudly again (not that they ever stopped talking), asking us to extend the wisdom that we have gathered so far. Since then, our work with stones has concentrated on expanding our consciousness into the lighter realms in order to rebalance and heal ourselves, others, and the larger world. We have focused on becoming aware of our light bodies, subtle energy bodies, the astral and the casual bodies, and other planes of awareness, which have allowed us to effectively work with crystals and stones.  In the process we have begun to realize our own unlimited self realization that unfolds automatically as we do our work with crystals and stones in the pages of this book older stoneworking techniques will be further elaborate it upon and techniques to work with “ordinary” rocks, will also be explained. As the stone people have expressed, it is time to realize that the seeming solidity of granite holds lessons for us there just as important as the quartz crystal. It is time to delve back into the depths of the Earth, as well as into the light of gems and crystals.
