The Chakra Directory is a tutorial guide and instruction manual for chakra healing by Vicki Howie. Due out 27th April 2021 from Quarto on their Chartwell imprint, it's 192 pages and will be available in hardcover format.

The author is a yoga instructor, hypnotherapist, and holistic practitioner. There are a wealth of publications in the alternative genre. If that sounds like this book is full of new age 'woo', well, it is, honestly. That being said, I (firmly 'school of western medicine' and about as non-'woo' as it's possible to be) found quite a lot of interesting food for thought here. This is a well structured and well written book. The author has an encouraging and supportive voice. She's not strident or preachy and I found a lot to like.

For readers who are interested in alternative/eastern philosophy & healing, this one is well written and accessible. The chapters present the material in an understandable and logical manner: basic info (what -are- chakras and what readers should know), assessing your chakras and finding potential problems, and finally healing what's wrong. There are tutorials and short guided information blocks in sidebars showing techniques such as EFT, aromatherapy, watsu, touch therapy, and much more. Especially important information is enclosed in highlighted text boxes in the chapters. Key concepts are set apart in the text with a handy key graphic for easy location.

Graphically the book is light and clean looking with high contrast text and clear photos. Models in the text are representative and picture a range of ages and ethnicities. It's nice to see representation in media. It's passive in the book, the author doesn't make a big deal out of it, but it is nice to see people who are older enjoying yoga and other forms of meditation and practice.

Four stars. Interesting alternative ideas and recipes.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

Excellent guide. I've had a hard time getting into chakras despite them being an important component of energy work, until I met my current masseuse who integrates chakras in her healing processes. She informed me that my heart and throat chakras seem to be blocked and wants to help me open them up. Not knowing what this meant, I decided to do some of my research. A lot of chakra books seem boring to me, but this one was a quick-to-read, easy-to-follow guide that explains each chakra, their connections to physical and emotional health, and more. I feel like I have a much better understanding of the subject now. My only small complaint is that some parts are too gendered for my liking, even though I understand the importance of masculine vs. feminine energy. I also like the little tests she has inside, although I find them too simplistic in diagnosing whether specific chakras are overreactive or underreactive. Still, I'd recommend this directory for anyone who wants to learn more about chakra healing.

While normally I'd like to see all the information gathered in one place. However, in this book it's more like here are the basics, and when you're read my to another element. I've been studying Chakras for years and have read a lot about them ,and this book taught me new things! I highly recommend this book.

This book is chock full of information on chakras. I thought I knew a lot about them, but I learned even more with this helpful guide. Would recommend this for people new to chakras, and for those whose who could use a good overview of how to understand and work with chakras to improve your life.

Another decent chakra starting book. Do get a number of visuals as references. Reader gets things to connect with the chakras - which other books may not do. A number of topics that would connect in some way brought in.

4.5/5 stars. Caught some typos, thus the -.5 stars. Otherwise, this is the first book that I’ve read on chakras that explained them clearly as well as gave practical advice regarding them. Highly recommend.
