A good psychological view of the chakras

This book is excellent for those who would like a more psychological view of the chakras. In this way, it is an excellent reference book for Spiritual Counselors, Licensed therapists who want to add a more spiritual approach to their practice or any other counseling profession. It can also greatly assist those who need help in their own lives and would like to heal by working with their chakras. The author explains the chakras through archetypical patterns which may sound intimidating to some but it is easy reading and everyone will be able to relate to the characteristics presented, either by recognizing it in themselves or the people in their lives. After the explanation of each chakra and it's corresponding archetype, the author offers 2 case studies so the reader better understands how a chakra dysfunction interplays in their lives. Next, she offers meditations, affirmations, and movements to heal that particular issue. I've read a lot of counseling books, traditional and spiritual, and have found this to be very imformative, useful and very accurate in it's healing methods. I wish it was a required reading for all up and coming counselers and therapists. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who wants a basic or even indepth study of the chakras without the psychological view, as there is heavy emphasis on this.

I would give it more stars if I could!

This book is very inspiring, a must read for those trying to find themselves and are on a spiritual journey. This book will help you see yourself in all different aspects of your personality, and when you can identify your feelings, you know how to handle the stiuation. She gives meditation stategies for each archetype, which are very helpful. This is one of my best spiritual books that I own, and I own many. Once again, A MUST READ!

Wonderful introduction to the chakras!

This is a great book! Very easy to understand and easy flowing. One of the best introduction to the chakras I have read. The power this book has, you look inside your own soul and heart and have the power of control to change and unblock your energies. I enjoyed the meditation instructions and really feel at peace with my own being and those around me.

An excellent guide to the real you.

This is a great book to introduce you to the chakras and archetypes. It is easy to read and understand, and gives you the tools to look inside your heart and soul in order to know yourself better and change what you believe needs changing. Be honest with yourself when you read it and follow the meditation instructions and you will feel like your life is put back on track.

Excellent for anyone willing to look inside themselves

I have been on a journey of trying to find out who I am and why I do things for the past 2 years and out of all the information I have come across, this book explains it in the most simplest form with the simplest understanding. I found this book to be one of the only books so far that really gets to the "heart" of the subjects I wanted to work on within myself (and covers all of them!). If you have the courage to look inside and not be afraid of what you find, you can really be on a journey to a more peaceful, fulfilling life. I must go back and read it again so I can practice the exercises and meditations. Excellent book! I'm ordering another one from this author which will expand on my knowledge of unlocking my energies.
