This review is from: The 7 Healing Chakras: Unlocking Your Body's Energy Centers (Paperback)
It took me a while to finally manage to finish reading this book. It is amazing yet has so much to actually take in during a short period of time. This is definitely not a short easy read. It deals with emotions and physical problems that some of us experience on a regular basis.
My favorite part was the affirmations. I actually copies them in little note cards and positions them next to my bed. Every morning, as soon as I wake up, I read them out loud, sometimes more than once, they help me get the day started and put things in perspective.
Here are a couple of the affirmations that helped and continue to help me:
"I am a beloved child of this universe and I deserve love, peace and security.
I open myself to receive the abundance of the universe.
I am open to receive and accept love.
I am open to receive and be nurtured by the powerful energy of the earth.
I am a physical being and value my physical presence.
I resolve to take care of my body and accept it as it is today.
I value it as the physical temple in which I live and I will aim to provide for its needs in
terms of food, rest, stimulations, and general nurturing."
"I welcome Opportunities to fulfill my highest potential"
This book also contains a breathing exercise that I feel is a vital part of this book. I use it on a regular basis, to relax myself, to unwind, to get grounded and in touch with those around me.
You will definitely need a notebook and a tap recorder in order to utilize for the meditations as well as the various exercises in this book.
I know this is a book that I want to keep, and I know that I have to get back to it frequently I would highly recommend this book.

This book more or less found me. During a difficult phase in my life I came across this book and a door to new positive experiences opened for me. Brenda's writing is easy to understand as she very thoroughly explains the bodys chakras. This book includes exercises to determine where energy blocks are occuring and how to correct the bodys flow of energy. I highly reccommend this book to anyone who may want to rise above negativity, re-balance their life and live with minimal stress. This is a very powerful book!

The best book for those learning about chakras., April 23, 2005
This review is from: The 7 Healing Chakras: Unlocking Your Body's Energy Centers (Paperback)
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!
