5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding introduction to the human energy system, September 6, 2004

This review is from: Working With Your Chakras: A Physical, Emotional, & Spiritual Approach (Paperback)

Although in harmony with the yogic concepts of the chakra system, this book outlines a mainly Western approach. There is emphasis on enabling the reader to have direct experience of the chakras and of the energy flow in the body. For each energy center (which is what the chakras are) there is an inspiring case history from the author's healing practice, a discussion of the psychological impact and developmental age associated with it and of the relationship of that chakra to the physical body, advice for fragrances, colors and crystals useful in working with it, and a guided meditation. Each chapter closes with an affirmation relating to the issues surrounding that particular chakra. Interestingly, she includes chapters about newly emerging energy centers outside of the traditional seven chakras.

This book is a wonderful example of practical, down-to-earth spirituality. It is non-sectarian, although the author does freely refer to discarnate spirit guides. Her voice is authoritative and compassionate. She manages to synthesize energy medicine, psychology, aromatherapy, crystals, and self-actualization spirituality within a profoundly approachable, usable form. Highly recommended for beginning and experienced students of the human energy system alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Opening New Channels, August 11, 2007

This review is from: Working With Your Chakras: A Physical, Emotional, & Spiritual Approach (Paperback)

This book is full of practical information which can be of real help to the healing practitioner. It has information which is detailed and clear. It is dense though, I had to concentrate and give it several goes. I use it as a reference book, and it has provided good advice and suggested new ways to look for answers to the problems people present in practice. It has a spiritual content which may put some off, but even so it is worth reading the book for the information and advice offered. How Ms White comes by her knowledge is incidental to the quality of the information, which is of real practical worth. Ros

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved my life, March 4, 2005

By

This review is from: Working With Your Chakras: A Physical, Emotional, & Spiritual Approach (Paperback)

Before I read this book, my chakras were TOTALLY screwy. Now it is SMOOTH SAILING. Using this book as a reference, I made a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that aligned EACH of my chakras with its own UNIQUE crystal, aroma, and guided meditation. Then I ran a linear optimizer (using Tools>Goal Seek... in Excel) which was designed to MAXIMIZE my yogic harmonies whilst MINIMIZING my karmic/vedic interferences.

The results: AWESOME. I have achieved enlightment, and am capable of aura divination AND astral projection (levitation is still a bit tricky.) A worthwhile project, and it would have been impossible but for the advice in this book.

Experienced programmers wanting to do the same may want to use Microsoft Access.
