About the author

I’m an author, speaker and publisher. My husband, Jan Budkowski, and I run two publishing companies:
Stellium Ltd (www.stelliumpub.com) for fiction, digital and self-publishing services, and
Zambezi Publishing Ltd (www.zampub.com) for Mind, Body & Spirit titles.

I became a professional astrologer, palmist and Tarot card reader in 1974, but I tailed off my consultancy business when my writing took off. I’ve written 136 books, mainly on mind, body & spirit subjects, with total sales of around 7 million copies, and translations of some titles into twelve languages. Like an addict, I still write, most recently a trio of time travel, action romance novels – the Tudorland series (Sophie’s Inheritance, Lucy’s Dilemma and Emily’s Mistake), a gentle spell book (Spells in Focus) for our publishing company, and In Focus: Astrology for Quarto.com

I’ve taught, broadcast and lectured all over the world, and written for many magazines and newspapers. One of my favourite features was a detailed Chinese Astrology column in Prediction magazine, starting with the January 2012 issue, until the magazine sadly closed a year later. I’ve been interested in Chinese Astrology for some time, and I concentrate on making it more accessible to our western minds.

As a past President of the British Astrological and Psychic Society (BAPS), past Chair for the Advisory Panel on Astrological Education and past member of the Executive Council of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, I like to think I have contributed to the writing and mind, body & spirit communities in the UK.

More recently, Jan and I created MBS Professionals Ltd, a unique, international accreditation/certification home for Mind, Body & Spirit professionals. (www.mbsprofessionals.com)

Although I still love to write, Jan and I now spend more time in running our MB&S publishing business (Zambezi Publishing Ltd), and in our brief spare time, a spot of fly fishing in the beautiful South West of England is a great way to relax...

It's not just a clever title! This book is so easy to digest and understand!

This book is part of Weiser Books' Plain & Simple series, which consists of multiple little books like this, written by different experts, offering the basic overview of popular magickal and metaphysical topics. I've liked all of the ones I've read, but this one is my favourite so far.

You've probably heard the word "chakra" a million times. Maybe you know what they are... or kind of maybe know what they are? Maybe? This book gives you everything you need to know about what chakras are, what the chakras mean (and how many there are!) and what to actually do with your chakras once you've figured them out. It also explains things like meditation; Kundalini energy; crystals, plants, and food that resonate with each chakra; and how to tell if one of your chakras is not working properly or has a blockage.

Each of the main 7 chakras has it's own chapter and begins with a whole little chart of correspondences and info about that chakra - like it's Vedic name, associated mantras, planetary and zodiac correspondences and really every little thing you need to know to understand that chakra. It describes the function of each chakra through personality traits in people, starting with a strong and balanced chakra, then moving into if someone's chakra is closed up or maybe a little too open.

This book won't make you an expert on chakras by any means, but honestly if all you want to know is how to get started this is the best book I've found so far. It's clear and easy to read, it includes some other lingo and concepts related to chakras, gives you affirmations and visualizations for each individual chakra, and makes it easy to work the chakra system into whatever witchcraft or meditative practice you already have. I highly recommend it.

Super simple chakra book! Although I knew a good amount of information on chakras, I still learned quite a few things. Great book!

Good brief introduction into Chakras. A quick and easy read. A bit dry, but the lean-ness that that adds is appreciated.

A simple understanding of the chakra system.

Interesting preview / quick overview of the chakras. Colors, control of the body high/low levels and foods, exercises and practices to open and close them.

[Rebekah Castello · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short, sweet, and to the point. Very easy to read and understand for someone just being introduced to this kind of healing.
