Jewelry & Gems for Self-discovery: Choosing Gemstones that Delight the Eye & Strengthen the SoulOctober 29, 2008 What a fascinating book to read! I loved sharing Shakti's journey of discovery with her. It was fun to read from cover to cover in addition to being an invaluable resource book for anyone who wears, buys, or creates jewelry. The astrology information was so simply explained, clarifying many questions I have always had about the stars. Before you purchase another piece of jewelry, you must read this!
A Gem of a BookOctober 13, 2008 Shakti Navran has created a book as beautiful and radiant as the gems she describes so perfectly. This book certainly did delight my eye as well as my mind and my heart. And, it did affirm the connection between my body and my soul... so much so that I will be much more conscious of chosing the jewelry that I wear. Thank you Shakti for recognizing and teaching us about the beauty and healing that nature provides. This is an amazingly accurate reflection of the beauty and healing that you share with the world in so many ways.
