Though I have had many creative experiences in my life, it had not occured to me that these were related to the chakras and their use. Now that I know this I have been able to stimulate creativity within myself at my command. I love this book. There is much more yet to learn and I am loving every minute of it. Thank you Dr. Barbara Condron for giving me the information I need to be aware of my own creative nature

This book has helped me heal. The depth of knowledge the author has is apparent. I have used it to reference each of the major chakras and the corresponding energies associated with them. The simple, clear explanations of attitudes related to each chakra -- both productive and unproductive -- have aided me to clearly identify how I can change and what I can do to balance my thinking which in turn balances the energies in my mind. I highly recommend it!

this book covers an incredibly interesting and important topic - however, does so in a style that's very difficult to follow, in particular if you're new to what the author writes about. unfortunately, dr. condron lost me almost immediately and didn't seem to make a huge effort to be understood by a beginner like me. i hope to find books on the topic that are written in plain english as the bits and pieces that i did get were very relevant and eye-opening. if you're a beginner like me, then you might find this book too scholarly. this is not a book for someone looking for kundalini yoga exercises!

I found that this book was the kind of book that I enjoyed reading over and over again. It blends serious scolarly commentary with practical examples that I could relate to in the explanation of how I can use all of the creative ENERGIES I already have more intelligently to move toward my goals and Ideals faster, I was inspired by the book and would recommend it to anyone that wants to unlock their entire mind to their command

This book presents a ramble about the author's thoughts and previous thoughts/teaching regarding Kundalini. It is filled with scientific errors, ungrounded assumptions and vapid generalizations. I found no real knowledge, insight and certainly no inspiration within its covers. Most of the book is not about kundalini at all but about the authors opinions and understanding of different subjects. I found those quite unremarkable.

Kundalini Rising is the best work of its kind I have experienced. I have long been interested in what leads one to the level of genius and as a result have read many other works related to the creative energies, creative genius and the chakras. This book goes into a much greater practical detail than any that I have read. The insight related to describing the qualities of the energy used with each chakra is outstanding. I have found this information essential for identifying and using the energies effectively. I now use this book as a reference manual!

Exactly what I was looking for; a straightforward discussion of the subject free of over-arching intellectual babble and minus the typical, cheesy new-age marketing fluff--or worse, self aggrandizing prattle about the author.

This book is not an academic work--it's a discussion, so of course everything stated should be taken as opinion. If you're out to labor, split hairs and check sources, there are already plenty of works that can provide you with that kind of challenge. If you're simply a student of meditation who wants to be inspired by some quick examples of the Kundalini force demonstrated by great minds, and a fast-moving discussion of the chakra system and how you can best use yours, then this is a worthy investment of your time.

As other reviewers have mentioned, this is not the best place for a beginner to start learning about meditation. However, it's a great read if you are familiar with the practice and have fallen off the wagon--it will inspire you to get back into your work and like it!

This book makes a very good complimentary book to go along with any of the other better rated books dealing with the subject of the human energy field. It has lots of interesting theory but does not teach techniques. It is not the best book for a person who has just started studying this subject, or who wants to do some hands on work.

The thing I didn't like about the book is the authors interpretation of the bible, which seemed to me at times to be completely lacking in any real knowledge on the subjects she was translating into her theories. I doubt that she did any 4-6 years of Bible School to get her title as a Minister.
