'Chakra Meditation: Transformation Through the Seven Energy Centers of the Body' written by Layne Redmond, narration &
drumming by Layne Redmond
(paperback book with CD)

November 2026

This is one of my favorite books by the late , Layne Redmond, a wonderful teacher! I never got to learn directly from her, but a couple of my teachers were students of hers several years ago.

I have this book and accompanying CD (yes, I like CDs moreso than streaming stuff, lol, although I do both; I like live music even more...well, if it's good, but that goes without saying!), which I've been using for several years now and love it!

I also do my own drumming on a Native American style frame drum that I designed and made myself, of Ash tree & Elk skin that were both harvested sustainably as part of a North-Western Pacific tribal ceremony. That's just one of my drums. (grin)

Anyway...
I'm tossing this into the reading ring in case some of you out there are interested in other forms of meditation in addition to, or other than, contemplation and/or chanting types of meditations. There's more than one path to get to wherever it is you're journeying to.
Drumming and dancing work better for me as meditation forms, rather then quietly sitting...I do that too, but active meditaion works better for me rather than passive meditation.

This book & music combo is a great starting point for beginners in meditation, and it's also valuable for experienced meditators to "shake things up" a bit...or if you're like me and tend to doze off occasionally while doing passive meditation, lol.

Two thumbs up! 👍👍

Finished book , now need to do seven exercises on the CD...the goal is to increase the natural flow of Prana from the root chakra all the way to the crown chakra. The chakras are the 7 energy centers of the body according to yogic tradition....the hope is to produce peace of mind, physical health and spiritual growth.

I am vaguely familiar with the chakras but totally new to yogic practices. This book is very informative and well written, offering a vast amount of information in a small book. A great book for a beginner.
