Embody by Sonee Singh is a rousing and inspired collection of poems exploring the common theme of healing, organized in the form of the seven chakras – Muladhara (Root), Svadhisthana (Sacral), Manipura (Solar Plexus), Anahata (Heart), Vasudha (Throat), Ajna (Third Eye), Sahasrara (Crown). The chakras are an ancient energy system having roots in ancient India, the birthland of Yoga. A blocked chakra can manifest itself in the form of several mental and physical diseases. Thus, Singh’s idea of classifying her poems in the form of seven chakras coincides with her overarching theme of healing.
The best feature of this collection of poems is that they are not forced and seem to be flowing from the inner self as any good poem should. As Singh mentions, while writing the book, she did not have the theme in mind, and it was only after finishing that she realized that they had a common theme and a hidden structure. The simple short poems flow easily and carry readers along with their easy-to-understand and straightforward form and a free-flowing rhyming scheme.
The book, in itself, is aesthetically pleasing and offers a treat to the eyes with its colorful water paint illustrations, white background and uncluttered, minimalist layout. I feel that the knowledge of Chakras is not well known, so one feature that I would have liked to have had in the book is a bit of an introduction about the focal point of the chakra and its manifestation.
Embody is a collection of simple poetry that I think will be very appealing to average readers as it contains thoughtful but stimulating poetry that is easy to understand and is powerful because of it.

Sonee’s book is amazing. I was able to relate to many of her poems, specially parts in where she described her feelings and thoughts during the beginning of lockdown.
As a single Hispanic woman myself, they were many of her poems that also spoke to me. As a yogi myself, even if I don’t focus enough on my chakras, I was able to connect with my soul, my spirit, and myself through many of her verses.
The use of peaceful, and joyful worlds, transported me to a calm state of mind in where words describing feelings categorized as not so “perfect” allowed me to assert that self acceptance is worth it (something I’ve been working on), and realized yet again, that I’m not alone in this path of self love. This world is not perfect and neither are its inhabitants.
I do believe that balancing most of our emotions from bottom chakra to top chakra prepare our soul for a better future.
I can’t wait to read her second book!
