What is the Group of 5?
Glossary
References
The Group of 5 is a group of therapists in or near Montreal, Canada, who specialize in lithotherapy or healing with stones. The name, The Group of 5, refers to Leonardo da Vinci's five-pointed star, which symbolizes the perfect human being. The therapists who wrote this book have chosen the star to represent them.
“In our ever-more virtual world, there is an urgent need to return
to our roots, to the earth that sustains us.… An approach using
unaltered minerals supports us in adulthood and maintains the
purity and vitality of children. A home embellished with specific
stones confers more benefits than we can possibly imagine. Children
react rapidly and effectively to stones’ energy; they can benefit
from carrying them in their pockets, or wearing them as a bracelet
or necklace.… Of course, there is no doubt that the best therapy
for children is caring parents whose love and attention are the
most precious therapeutic tools.”
—from the foreword by Gaëtan A. Brouillard, MD, director of the
Clinique Médicale de Santé Globale Brouillard, Laval, Quebec, and
consulting physician at Maisonneuve Rosemont Hospital, Montreal
