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!

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!

I love the way Brenda writes! This book is easy and fun to read as it teaches the power of each individual chakra. The book helped me heal some problem areas of my life and I know that I will refer back to it many, many times as well as recommend it to all of my friends! Thanks for the great work Brenda, I would love to meet you someday!

This is one of the first books I purchased that was strictly on Chakras. Her views and style of writting was OK at the time but since then I have found other Authors that are alot better. I read this book in less then 1 week so it an easy read and doesn't delve very deep. She also devotes a Chapter to each Chakra, and gives a fair overview, correspondences, the rest of it is exercises like meditations and jounaling questions. If you purchase this book you must get the companion book the workbook- the workbook is great, it doesn't really add anythng new, but it better explains the meditations and you can use it for your jounal. I would give the Workbook a higher rating the the actual book! Also most of the information find in this book can be found on the information/correspondences page of the workbook just in less detail. She definetly has her view of Chakras, and through study I just don't mesh well with her views.

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.

If you are already familiar with chakras then this book probably is not the one for you; however, if you are looking for an introduction to chakras then this book is a good start. The author takes the time, a whole chapter's worth of time, to devote to each chakra giving you a very clear background and understanding. The exercises are very accurate and easy to do from the first time around. Definately a good starter book :)

I am a HUGE fan of this book. Perhaps because it illustrates the forgiveness work I needed to go through. I have found it very easy to read and follow. The concepts make sense and the healing processes (though tough) are so amazingly freeing. I cannot say enough good things about this book. If I had to say anything negative, it would be that I wish the Author had included some tips about what would happen to you after you heal each Chakra. I didn't know what to expect and sometimes was a bit concerned. So, that would have been nice. I have found however that after each healing and cleansing, new pathways to understanding open up and I can feel my body/mind vibration rising with each cleansing. Before reading this book, I didn't know much about Chakras and to be honest, I was a skeptical, but I'm NOT anymore. If you're looking for a book on Chakra healing/cleansing/balancing, THIS IS A MUST HAVE.

I felt Brenda Davies took me on a guided tour of my chakras, with very understandable explanations of each one's effect on our lives, with helpful affirmations and profound meditations to help uncover and heal imbalances. Dr. Davies starts at the root chakra, where she believes we all need to start our physical healing to form a sound foundation and grounding in the material world, and then guides us up through the rainbow frequencies of the chakras, ending with balancing of our crown chakra for spiritual healing. Her insights as an intuitive healer added many little gems to this book that I have not seen in more technical tomes on chakras. For instance, Dr. Davies relates potential imbalances to specific years in your life when emotional crises, for instance, may have caused an imbalance. And then, she leads the reader into a meditation that teaches forgiveness, offering three different perspectives, so there's a way everyone can embrace and reap the benefits of forgiving and letting healing begin. I'd love to meet Dr. Davies and have a personal healing session with her, but after reading the book, I feel like I already have. Namaste! Becca Chopra, author of "The Chakra Diaries"

I recently received my book and found it to be extremely thoughtful and informative. The author explains all of the different concepts with very basic wording which makes it easy for any novice to understand.
