True Balance: A Common Sense Guide for Renewing Your Spirit, May 9, 2000
This review is from: True Balance: A Commonsense Guide for Renewing Your Spirit (Paperback)
You don't have to understand the mysteries of modern mechanics to know when your car needs a tune up. Likewise, you don't have to be a mideastern guru to know you are not in "True Balance", or to learn from this book. If you ask yourself why do you feel "blah" more often than not, or why you can't seem to focus, or why you say, "Yes", when you want to say, "No", or why life seems to be such an uphill battle, this book is for you. Finally, here is a book that really is a "Common Sense Guide for Renewing Your Spirit". If you read "True Balance" with the intent of at least giving it a try, you can not help but align your energy centers. You don't have to understand how it works. Just be assured that it will. Sonia Choquette takes you through explanations, examples, and experiences which will help you develope a solid foundation, vitality, the sovereignty of knowing who you are and that you belong, an open loving heart, and the ability to express yourself. You will begin to truly see the world around you in all its complexities and open your crown chakra to the peace and guidance of your Creator. She does not tell you what you SHOULD feel. She gives you steps that, if followed, will allow you TO FEEL. If you are even slightly "out of kilter", this book is the guide which will give you "True Balance" and the joy and peace which naturally follow.

True Balance is Truly Sensational!, May 6, 2000
This review is from: True Balance: A Commonsense Guide for Renewing Your Spirit (Paperback)
True Balance is Truly Sensational! This book is a must read for anyone on a personal journey of growth or for anyone trying to stay balanced in our fast paced lives. The book focuses on balancing the seven chakras. Even though the term chakra is used, the book is very much written in our modern day western language. For those individuals who closely follow the chakras and use Eastern philosophy techniques such as yoga, etc. I believe the book speaks one to one with these individuals. The chakras are familiar to these individuals and the examples, "to do" lists, etc. are items which I believe can easily be related to. For those individuals who are unfamiliar with chakras and simply want to balance there lives amongst the incredible number and velocity of items spinning in our lives, the book also speaks to them one on one because of the basic tools that are used to help balance the energy centers. Even if people don't necessarily believe in the chakras, the book is totally for them. There are questions, check lists and to do lists through out the book. They are simple, easy to understand and will likely result in people looking at there body, mind and spirit in new exciting ways. Some of the to do things include taking epsom salt baths, using essential oils, rubbing Vick's Vapor Rub on your feet followed with a good pair of socks put on your feet before going to bed. Again the author's wisdom and warmth shows as pen was put to paper, resulting in this book. The week of this book release, I had the wonderful experience of attending a 2 1/2 hour overview of the book, hosted by Sonia and her assistants. It was an incredible first class experience. Again I believe the book is a must read and if you ever get the opportunity to attend one of Sonia's workshops, do it because I guarantee your life will be forever changed!

Really four and a half stars..., July 28, 2003
This review is from: True Balance: A Commonsense Guide for Renewing Your Spirit (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book, both for those who are conscious of their chakras and for those who are unfamiliar with energy work. Choquette lays everything out in a simple, gentle, yet very thorough way that is a pleasure to read and absorb. She writes as if she is a kind friend, speaking with each person individually. If you are looking for a more serious, in-depth work, I recommend Caroline Myss' "Anatomy of the Spirit". If you want to learn more about the chakra system, how it affects you, and how you can effect positive change and achieve more spiritual balance without getting a degree in theology or spirituality, then this is an excellent book.
