Simple and effectiveOctober 25, 2006 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Doreen Virtue explains everything about the chakras, and how to take care of them. She gives several methods to clear them, long or short meditations. Her language is clear, her tips are efficient and she does not talk too much about herself! (I personally think that she tends to do this too often in her books and that can be quite annoying...)
The CD is also very good, the meditations are nice to listen to, not too fast, good voice, good music...
I love this book and its CD ! one of Doreen's best books !

This is a great gift for someone wanting to discover chakras and become aware of them in daily life, play with them and see what happens. The CD has a morning and an evening track, about 20 mns long, perfect for daily commute, easy to follow.
OversimplifiedMay 31, 2006 I found the book to have some good basic (very basic) information on the chakras presented in an easy to read and understand format. No real useful information for the serious seeker who has already done some study. Her explanation of energy cords was likewise extremely simplified. In reality, energy cords are a complex phenomenon that can involve almost anyone we come into contact with whether or not we know them.
This book presents 2 very passive ways to clear your chakras: listening to the guided meditation CD in the morning and evening, and repeating the affirmations that she has written for each chakra. I have found that affirmations that I write are much more powerful than repeating someone elses. Unfortunately, her style of guided meditation does not jibe with mine so I did not get much out of that either.
My biggest complaint is to her use of the word perfect, over and over. At night, after we invite in the Angels to balance our chakras as we drift off to sleep, we supposedly will be perfect - until morning when we have to listen to the morning meditation to become balanced and perfect. Now, I have nothing against guided meditation; there are several (found elsewhere) that I like to do as I feel the need. Sorry, I just don't buy the whole "just do this and you and your life will be perfect... until the next prescribed meditation or affirmation"
For a more well rounded, realistic, take charge of your own life rather than let someone else do it all the work for you book, I recommend "Your Aura and Your Chakras the Owners Manual" by Karla McLaren.

Powerful energy-block clearerOctober 15, 2005 15 out of 16 found this review helpful
This CD is a lovely way to release blockages in the chakras - you will learn how to feel and identify the blockages - even see them - then effectively clear them by transforming negative energy into positive energy. Also a good way to begin to communicate with divine energies, such as the divinity that angels represent. The only problem with the CD is that Doreen is sometimes a little cheesy and your conscious mind - especially if you're a realist - tends to reject it. However, with a bit of practice you can get into it, even the soppy bits! An excellent way of starting and ending the day - start the day with a positive outlook, then at night, clear away any negative energy you have accumulated during the day responsibly, will really help those who tend to focus on the negative, as it provides a very useful way of transmutating those energies.
