A Spell to Heal Hard Feelings and Heal Emotional Rifts

You will need
- Quartz crystal.

Find a nice, quiet place where you can lay down, then place the quartz crystal
on your third eye and say:
"I call upon Gula, great Goddess of healing.
Guide the help to direct any bad feelings,
See this dark specters reeling.
By the grace of your power
I ask you to heal them.
Teach each to feel what the other feels,
By the power of three, I wish it to be."

You can call upon and healing diety you wish.

Gemstones A to Z: A Handy Reference to Healing Crystals

This book was a bit of a disappointment. I was expecting more. Or rather, I was expecting something different. Much of the information I found online, and in those cases it was written better and was easier to follow. Diane Stein jumps around in her definitions a bit.
I do, however, like how she has included things like chakra information.
Ironically, this is the only book I have not, and probably will not, process for my Book of Shadows, because I could not get past the introduction. There were some glaring editing flaws, and the information itself frustrated me, and I wasn’t sure why. Looking at some of Stein’s other books, I realised why: she focuses too much on women and the Goddess. Though women are important, I do not like total focus on just one gender, both are equally important.
