I really enjoy Karen Frazier's writing style and her practical approach to the use of energy (in all its forms) to heal and transform. Her books are very approachable, even for a beginner.
This book links the seven steps of alchemy with different stages of personal transformation, which I find to be a very compelling metaphor. The text includes individual sections relating to each of the stages, clearly explained, and containing several exercises to facilitate your work (including meditation, journaling, chakras, crystals, essential oils...).
I don't find the tone to be excessively "woo woo", but if you aren't at least open to the ideas of Oneness and common energy, the contents will probably not speak to you. That said, if you're open to digging deep and doing the spiritual work included in this book, it is a very helpful guide for making necessary changes (however big or small) in your life.
My only wish is that it could be a bit longer! And Karen, if you're reading this, I would love a separate workbook, as well.
