Secrets to relaxation

Professor shares secrets to relaxation, spiritual healing
New book outlines healing powers of crystal meditation

PHILADELPHIA – According to the American Institute of Stress, 80 percent of workers feel stress on the job and nearly half of those say they need help learning how to manage stress. In For Starseeds: Healing the Heart-Pleiadian Crystal Meditations, Dr. Ruth Starseed Hoskins shows how daily crystal meditation can decrease stress, which will drastically improve one's life and spirit.
Hoskins used her experiences as a licensed psychotherapist and professor at Chestnut Hill College as well as her educational background in holistic health sciences to show people the importance of spiritual wellbeing and relaxation through crystal meditation.
"Meditation is the one tool that opens a person to higher consciousness," said Hoskins. "By combining meditation with crystals, people are able to get in touch with their inner-selves and step into the knowledge that we are spiritual beings of light on Earth."
By using the 28 crystal meditations that are presented in Hoskins' book, readers will embark on a spiritual journey that will allow them to grow in their minds, bodies and spirits. Not only will these meditations aid in experiencing a higher consciousness, but they will also alleviate stress and increase positive psychological health.
"Stress can hurt and distort perception and make it difficult to let go of anger," said Hoskins. "The meditations that I have provided in my book are meant to encourage people take time for themselves and meditate so that they have an opportunity to relax."
