Airy- fairy yet negative

Vague, airy-fairy descriptions of the chakras are combined with a decisive, my-spiritual-path-is-THE-spiritual-path primer on the basics of spirituality. At one point the author describes "wise, ancient spirits" who are suffering very painful lessons so that they can be closer to God. Do you really want to take spiritual healing advice from someone who projects her own punishment agenda onto the divine (and you!) and glorifies suffering. Check out Karla McLaren's "Your Aura & Your Chakras." Like all authors, she has her own issues to work out, but the information is presented in a much clearer, much more neutral fashion.

A Must Read

This is a must read for anyone wanting to know more about the Chakras and how they can change your life. I loved this book so much that I'm going to go out and buy 5 more to give as gifts.

The best book for those learning about chakras.

I bought this book as recommended reading by my Reiki Master-Teacher.

I had heard about chakra's for years, and understood their flow was integral, but until I began reading this book, I never really understood how your chakras and your life affect you.

Chapter by chapter, each chakra is described in detail. What organs it affects, where it is placed in your body, it's color, what crystals work well with it, and how a balanced and unbalanced affects aspects of your life.

At each chapters end there are excercises and meditations to be used to help your chakra be in balance so you receive optimal life force.

Many of the meditations could be used in course work, in association with a yoga class that focused on a certain chakra, or in other appropriate situations.

This is by far the best book for those who are learning or curious about chakras!
