About the Author

Joachim Goebel studied orthodox medicine, Ayurveda and a variety of natural healing procedures. Through these studies he came to recognise water as being the 'elixir of life' in our mortal existence. He dedicated himself, with increasing intensity, to full-time research into the properties of water. He had his first encounter with crystal healing in 1996. Inspired by Hildegard von Bingen, Joachim Goebel began researching 'Gem Water' in 1998. At a time when no one else was examining the merits of 'Gem Water' he began his first series of tests. They proved so successful that the subject of 'Gem Water' increasingly influenced his professional activities as a lecturer and industrial consultant. Joachim Goebel offers international lectures, seminars and training, as well as personal consultations.Michael Gienger sees himself as a natural scientist. In his view, Nature is a huge book, in which, by perceptive observation, many secrets of life can be discovered and understood. He is entirely self-taught, and has achieved international respect with his contributions to crystal healing. However, his field of research extends over the entire broad range of nature study and natural healing systems. The subject of water, in particular, has been of deep interest to him ever since his youth. In the foreword to his first book, 'Steinheilkunde' (1995) (Crystal Power, Crystal Healing 1998) he wrote, "Among my earliest memories are those of stones, inseparably linked in my mind with running water, and mountain stream in particular. I loved to divert the flow of water with the aid of dams built with large and small pebbles." Both Crystal Healing as well as the knowledge of water have been a firm part of his research and activity over the last twenty years. He has now been able to unite his two 'great' areas of research, in order to create a well-founded basis for a new branch of crystal healing.
