A: Melody is the author and world-renowned crystologist who in 1991 published a book called Love Is In The Earth - A Kaleidoscope of Crystals Update, winning international acclaim for her solid research into the metaphysical properties of more than 700 members of the mineral kingdom. Today, the Love Is In The Earth© series comprises six volumes, describing the properties of hundreds of stones, along with many specific techniques for advancing the work of healing through crystals, as well as a new tarot deck, the Love Is In The Earth Crystal Tarot -The Tarot for the Millennium. For a number of years, Melody taught the techniques described in her books and based on her research in Level I and Level II certification workshops around the U.S., Canada and the world. Since 1997, U.S. and Canadian workshops have been taught by a special group of instructors certified, accredited and endorsed by Melody to teach the Melody Crystal Workshops, as Melody no longer teaches in the U.S. or Canada. Many of these instructors are members of TAOMCHI today, along with other instructor and practitioner members worldwide.
