A fantastic empowering tool!January 31, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is a true jewel and gives insights both practically and theoretically on the way chakras and archetypes influence our lives. Ambika has been working with chakras as a healer and refers to many practical cases she had with patients, helping us to understand the different archetypes in our daily life... Her concise writing style makes this book an easy one to read and comprehend. Having attended a practical workshop on chakras with a truly unique healer and teacher, I can tell you that chakras are intelligent energy systems within us which hold all information on our past lives and enable us -if we learn to communicate and interact with them- to bring to our awareness some deeply entrenched beliefs and patterns, enabling us to release and dissolve them... You cannot access unconscious beliefs systems without interacting in some ways with your chakras... The chapter on the Heart Chakras will put the record straight as to what is love and it is essential to remember that as long as we are not able to truly love ourselves, we cannot attract love in our life... This book is a gift for yourself and is a fantastic empowering tool to help you discover who you truly are... and thank you Ambika for sharing your experience and knowledge with us in such a beautiful and coherent way.
A good psychological view of the chakrasJune 30, 2006 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is excellent for those who would like a more psychological view of the chakras. In this way, it is an excellent reference book for Spiritual Counselors, Licensed therapists who want to add a more spiritual approach to their practice or any other counseling profession. It can also greatly assist those who need help in their own lives and would like to heal by working with their chakras. The author explains the chakras through archetypical patterns which may sound intimidating to some but it is easy reading and everyone will be able to relate to the characteristics presented, either by recognizing it in themselves or the people in their lives.
After the explanation of each chakra and it's corresponding archetype, the author offers 2 case studies so the reader better understands how a chakra dysfunction interplays in their lives. Next, she offers meditations, affirmations, and movements to heal that particular issue. I've read a lot of counseling books, traditional and spiritual, and have found this to be very imformative, useful and very accurate in it's healing methods. I wish it was a required reading for all up and coming counselers and therapists. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who wants a basic or even indepth study of the chakras without the psychological view, as there is heavy emphasis on this.
