I've really been drawn to exploring crystals and learning about chakras lately. This is a short informative read, but kind of wished there was more information and maybe some illustrations.

As I was reading this, I realised that I'd read it before. Its a quick read if you don't do the exercises - longer if you do.

Fantastic quick simple and clear summary of chakras and where to start.
A superb starting point to build knowledge on over time.
The book is laid out simply so it is easy to find the information and in a clear concise manner.

I was looking for a very quick guide to give me an overview on Chakras to give a base knowledge alongside crystals that I am currently learning about.
Whilst chakras in detail are a topic I want to do later I needed a starting point.
This book hit the nail on the head!!!

Plain and simple , short and sweet.

Plain and simple , short and sweet. I Iike the direct nature of the writing of this book and the approach to the information. I would have liked more examples of self practice for healing the chakras as well as the use of tone or vibration for balancing the chakras.

Interesting read

Lately I have been doing more spiritual exploration of my mind and body through meditation. Through guided meditations on YouTube, I discovered the chakras, and decided to dig a little deeper
This book, though informative, was too short for me. I will be seeking further reads from another therapist.

Chakras made easy

I love this book as It is easy to read with simple exercises to connect with each chakra and also great insights to understand each chakra when they are balanced or imbalanced. For those who are starting to work with energies anda want to start with i highly recommend it. Love the advices for a crystal session and aromatheraphy.

Its A Good Start

This is a good introduction to chakra, oils, Crystal, and meditation. It doesn't overwhelm but gives a good starting point to get a few crystals and start a deeper journey. I would rec to others.

Short and Sweet

I would have liked to seen drawings of each area of the body as it was described with the color and chakra name also listed. It helps me learn. It was interesting... I am going to read more before starting.

Great book

Simple and easy to follow. Gives a good overview and basic understanding of all aspects of our spirituality. I recommend the book to anyone who wants a basic understanding of the power we have as human beings.

If you know absolutely nothing about chakras and you need an easy 101 introduction into chakras for reference - this is short and simple. For a bonus,++ there are a few nice meditative thought journals that help bring presence to your study.

Easy to learn about chakras and aromatherapy

Amazing book to read, easy to use on kindle. Best book I've read. Gives good details about aromatherapy and essential oils to use during the chakra and relaxation process and what parts of your body needs to be rebalanced. Perfect!

[Kelsey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Informative but not as thorough as I thought it would be. I didn’t realize how short the book was and was kind of hoping for more sustenance. This is definitely a beginners guide that just briefly scratches the surface of the subject. I feel like I’m left with needing much more.

[Karen May · Rating 5 out of 5]

Spot on

This book is short and to the point. Quick read but so full of infomation. The lessons for each chakras are informative and really get the job down. Well worth the time. I borrowed it on Kindle then bought a copy for my library.

[Iris · Rating 3 out of 5]

Informative—included great reflection questions and simple mediations. This was a short read that perhaps could have benefited from some visuals, but overall a great start to learning about the chakras.

A whistle stop tour

Suitable for anyone like me who is aware of chakras but hasn’t really had a deep understanding of what they are and what they do. This is a short, concise book to get on the path of expanding your knowledge.

[Jada Jolley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good for beginners, I do wish that there was more detailed background information.

A good read

Gives a good insight of how the mind and body works. I like doing the questions in each section I've learned a lot about myself.

Poorly written, noticed a few spelling mistakes which just shows it was rushed and not properly read through.

Good overview, poorly edited

I found the grammatical errors to be very distracting from the author's message. Seems like good information for beginners, though.

[Bernice · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nice, succinct reference guide to the chakras. Complete with meditation practices and crystal/aroma therapy guide.

[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent for beginners but lots of typos
