Book Description

March 1, 2009
Nutritionist and yoga practitioner Deanna Minich's Chakra Foods provides information on how to heal emotional and physical woes through making the right food choices. The material for this book developed out of the author's highly successful "Nutrition for the Soul" classes, workshops, and private counseling sessions. Not a diet book, it looks at both the nutritional and spiritual aspects of the foods we eat and how they can heal us. For example, someone feeling stuck in their lives could turn to chapter 5 and find a list of orange foods -- apricots, carrots, salmon, pumpkin, oranges -- to help their sacral chakra. For each chakra, specific affirmations and other practices are also offered, as are meal plans and recipes. Helpful lists, charts, and diagrams help readers easily pinpoint and diagnose themselves and the various prescriptive options are all very clearly explained. With lots of useful sidebars, this book really is a treasure trove of energy medicine in the form of food -- truly food for the body, mind, and soul!



* Looks at the energetics of what and how we eat and how to rebalance through healthier choices.

* Easy to implement and stick with plan.

Review

"Chakra Foods for Optimum Health is a "roll up your sleeve" self help book. Describing in detail, techniques that Dr. Minich has used successfully to assist her patients in rebalancing their chakra centers, overcome obstacles to health, regain energy, creativity, and find new meaning in their lives. Her Chakra questionnaire is a tremendous asset assisting you in pinpointing areas of dysfunction and imbalance. She expertly takes you through each of the seven chakra centers discussing in detail food and eating healing plans, simple affirmations that make a big difference, imaginative activities you can easily do to help rebalance your chakras, and a specific eating plan to support energy flow through each chakra. At the end of the book are countless tasty recipes to help you enjoy healthy variations of familiar foods and explore new flavors and sensations. - Jacob Kornberg, MD, FACS

"Chakra Foods is loaded with wisdom, joy, and practicality. Reading through this book provided me with many 'ah ha!' experiences. Chakra Foods is full of unusual and uplifting insights that one can apply to their life instantly." -Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Secret Pleasures of Menopause and Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

4.0 out of 5 stars Great July 11, 2009
Format:Paperback
"Chakra Foods For Optimum Health" integrates modern, Western nutrition science with ancient Eastern yogic knowledge and wisdom. It provides the best introduction to the chakras that I have read (and I've read a lot of them), and an explanation of how to eat for the chakras that is very easy to digest and internalize. The author presents this material in a very well-written and intuitive package. I recommend this book very highly for anyone who wants to add dimension to their understanding of the chakras, or who wants to expand their awareness of how foods affect them."

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting New Perspective June 17, 2009
Format:Paperback
This book provides an interesting new perspective on the connection between nutritional science and spirituality. Essentially, it synthesizes eastern and western thought in a very understandable, concise way. Readers will learn how the body's energy centers, or chakras, contribute to the physical, emotional, and spiritual well being of each person. And, how the food you eat can diminish, maintain, or improve the resonance of the chakras. The book also provides plenty of dietary guidelines and tasty recipes that help readers make real changes. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Craving Chakra Foods Knowledge June 12, 2009
Format:Paperback
Until I read this book, I never thought about the HOW of eating, only the WHAT. Deanna points to the equal importance and the studies behind who we're eating with and how the meal takes place. For example, she cites a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine from Drs. Christakis and Fowler. They demonstrated that patterns of body weight gain were directly connected to our social networks. What does that mean? The greater the connection an individual has with obese friends and family (even if miles apart), the larger the influence on he or she developing obesity. If you're emotionally close with overweight people, there is also a higher chance of you becoming obese. As a mom, this makes me thing about being in great shape for my kid's healthy future and my own too! This is only one of many amazing insights and studies presented in Chakra Foods. It will have you thinking about food in a whole new way, an empowering way.
