5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to the subtle bodies and chakra healing, March 6, 2003
This review is from: The Chakra Handbook (Paperback)
This wonderful book is an exhaustive guide to harmonising the body's energy vortices with music, colours, gemstones, fragrances, breathing techniques, reflex zone massage plus meditation. The book is very comprehensive in cope, dealing with the full energy system and the subtle bodies: ethereal, astral, mental and spiritual, while explaining the function and purpose of the charkas. It explains how blockages develop in the charkas and how to eliminate them, before treating each of the seven chakras in detail.

The astrological associations are dealt with and various therapies for cleansing and activating the chakras are covered in great detail. These include sound, colour, gemstone, and aroma therapies plus colour meditation and different forms of yoga. In addition, there are chapters on chakra breathing, reflex zone massage and physical exercises for releasing blocked energies. The appendix includes tables on the charkas and their associated factors like symbols, colours, elements, hormones, musical tones and aromas.

The text is enlivened with many black and white figures, illustrations and tables, and the book concludes with a short bibliography. The Chakra-handbook is the most comprehensive work on the subject that I have encountered, providing practical information in a simple, easily understood manner. I highly recommend it to practitioners of esoteric healing and to all readers who are interested in familiarising themselves with their own energy bodies for a more fulfilling and abundant life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Manual for Novice and Master Alike!!, November 25, 2005
By 
Devi Spring (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Chakra Handbook (Paperback)
I am a professional Usui Reiki Master, who holds regular certification courses in Reiki as well as other energetic healing modalities. I ALWAYS suggest this book to my students, as it provides all the pertinent information necessary to build a strong foundational understanding of the chakra system, without overloading the reader with chapters of advanced information that may bog down a newcomer. Although Anodea Judith's "Wheels of Light" is exhaustive in its research, and is an excellent resource for the reader who is already well-versed in chakra theory, it can be extremely intimidating for a reader just starting out in the subject matter.

"The Chakra Handbook" contains all the information that a reader could possibly need at a glance: the color, sound, symbolism, location, mental-emotional-spiritual, as well as crystal & gem coorespondances; it even provides short and effective visualizations! Even though I have been practicing for nearly 10 years, I still turn to my handy "Chakra Handbook" first if I need a refresher on a particular association, or other bit of crucial information.

All of my students who buy this book write back to me absolutely thrilled with its contents!
I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Eastern theory, alternative healing, natural health, or spirituality in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply excellent, January 9, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Chakra Handbook (Paperback)
This is simply an excellent book on the chakras. Clear, easy to use, easy to understand, not overwhelming for a beginner but still plenty of useful information for experienced practitioners. Very comprehensive, touching on many aspects connected to the chakras and a wide variety of useful therapies: sound, color, senses, gemstones, foot zone. It is very holistic, explaining the emotional, psychological and physical manifestations regarding each chakra. Not only this, but it also relates them to different ages of your life and stages of your development. Amazing!
