Overview
Our physical well-being reflects every aspect of our lives and our inner selves. This means massage is able to affect us on every level - body, mind and spirit. This holistic concept is fundamental to the 'crystal balance' method developed by Monika Grundmann. Once you have added the different healing qualities of crystals you have a variable tool to work on different levels of the patient' being to create individual treatments. It is a simple formula, simply applied, but it is not a therapy in the medical sense. Its aim is to help our bodies to relax and recover, encouraging our soul and spirit to 'be themselves'. When we are truly 'ourselves', we are beautiful - it is as simple as that.

Author Information
"Even as a child, Monika Grundmann wanted to be a massage therapist. However, after leaving school she went to work in an office completing her beauty therapy course while working. She soon realised that her interest lay not just in the physical, but in all aspects of the body - the person as a whole. She studied psychophysiogonomy and completed her training as a non-medical practitioner. As a result of her training in the use of cosmetics Monika Grundmann was already very experienced in the power of touch, but she was now searching for a way to use touch as a positive influence on the whole person. She looked at Shiatsu, aromatherapy massage, Bach flower remedies, colour and sound treatments, and other areas, but training in crystal therapy with Michael Gienger finally brought her a better understanding of gems and their healing properties. She then began incorporating crystals into her own treatments in various ways.Prior to the birth of her daughter in 1999 she had been formulating a way to use crystals to improve the well-being of her clients and had been encouraging Michael Gienger to write a book on the subject. However, the time was not yet right. In her search for a way combine the techniques she had learned in a more focused, practical way, Monika Grundmann undertook training in 'Individual Therapy' with Rainer Strebel, which helped her discover the final piece of the jigsaw. The concept of 'Crystal Balance' was now complete. Inspired by the book, ""Crystal Massage for Health and Healing"" (published by Earthdancer an imprint of Findhorn Press in 2006), she felt it was now time to pass on all her tried and tested knowledge. This book is a culmination of the ten years she spent developing the concept, which she now shares with others in seminars and training courses."
