Both practical and inspirational, The 7 Healing Chakras is a voyage of self-discovery that shows people how to achieve their full potential. Introducing the chakras, vortices of energy that connect the physical body with the spiritual, Dr. Brenda Davies follows a clear path through the seven power centers - each characterized by a different color - from the red-colored root chakra near the base of the spine to the white crown chakra at the top of the head. Exploring the significance of each chakra, the author offers personal guidance and leads the reader in a series of exercises and meditations to unblock each energy channel and clear the psychological, emotional, and spiritual debris of the past. She combines her training as a psychiatrist with ancient methods of healing to provide the tools needed to take charge of mental and physical well-being.
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!August 12, 2008 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.
Nice meditations...take what you like and leave the rest.November 4, 2007 I like the organization of the book, the explanations of each Chakra and the meditations/exercises at the end of each chapter. I do wish there were a CD of the meditations to accompany the book rather than the suggestion to record the meditations on a tape to play back...who wants to listen to their own voice!!! This is a nice primer for anyone who is new to Chakras and energy work. It's a nice addition to my library.
An excellent primer!February 17, 2007 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
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 :)
Different .. in writting style and not at the Top of my listJanuary 18, 2007 16 out of 17 found this review helpful
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.
Best chakra book I've readAugust 10, 2006 1 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is by far the best chakra book I have read. She not only goes into detail about how each chakra effects you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, but it's filled with exercises. Being an intuitive empath, my favorite exercises are tuning down your chakra exercises to keep negative influences from affecting you. I do that every morning after doing Doreen Virtue's chakra clearing exercise and I feel fantastic all day, but if not, I feel lousy.
