Chakra Balancing Made Simple and Easy (Self Healing Series) Paperback – January 15, 2014

This is a clear, straightforward guide to basic energy work and chakra balancing. I've had other people do energy work on me, but never quite understood the step by step. The illustrations were really helpful. I appreciated how easy the techniques were to understand and apply, both for myself and to practice on other people.

This book is a good way to learn about Chakras because it is clear and helpful. As a beginner, I liked how easy it was to understand. It surprised me to learn that Chakras are linked to the hormonal system. The pictures are a nice touch, and even though the subject is probably more complex than what is written here, this book is a good place to begin for people who are new to it.

This book starts off by explaining what a Chakra is. He puts it simply as an energy wheel that is connected to the nervous system and endocrine glands, and if not working correctly you can suffer from headaches, poor digestion, constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, brain fog, confusion, depression, poor circulation, joint problems, balance issues, behavioral problems, poor immune system, irritability, vision problems, anxiety, and aches & pains.Out of balance Chakra's cause all of these symptoms, and 'anything that brings you out of balance can affect the function of your chakras'. As in overuse, abuse, overactivity, overstimulation, over, over, over, and laziness too.He then gives you simple techniques to balancing your chakra's by making circles with your hands in front of them, shaking off your hand, and then circling the chakra's in the reverse motion. He gives pictures of where the 7 chakra's are, Base, Sacral, Solar plexus, heart, Throat, third eye, and Crown. He says you can do this on someone else in the same manner. Chakra's tend to flow upward, so start with the lower ones first and work your way up to the crown.He advises to do this at least twice a day for two weeks to get things moving in a better direction.He goes into what maladies each chakra deals with. This is very informative.He then goes into more advanced techniques using applied kinesiology. And other effective ways to balance chakras like going for walk, resting, relaxing, meditation

Very interesting little beginner's book about Chakras, with thorough explanations as to how to "balance" them and the reported benefits of doing so. I learned a lot just by a quick review of the book. For example, I was surprised to learn the connections between one's Chakras and the endocrine system. It had never occurred to me that hormones would be involved in this self-help procedure, but it certainly does make sense. Since I'm totally new at this, this book will be quite useful as I explore this subject in a little more detail. I would think that this subject might be a little more complicated than the book covers, and I plan to do some further research when the time is right. But a great overview for beginners, especially with the photographs which will be very helpful. I've only scanned it so far, but plan to really study it in the next few days.

This book delivers what it promises, namely a simple technique for balancing one’s chakra’s – assuming that chakras actually exist. I don’t intend to be nastily sarcastic here. Though I am a scientist, many years ago I experienced a series of events that convinced me that the notion of synchronicity was valid. Materialism is more-or-less the foundation of scientific dogma, which means that synchronicity can never be anything more than mere coincidence – not meaningful coincidence. That coincidences can mean anything is impossible. However, trying to explain these experiences away struck me as dishonest. Since science ridicules synchronicity I started studying the ideas of people who believe in synchronicity. The problem with most people who believe in such things as synchronicity is that many, or even most of them, apparently consider gullibility to be an admirable character trait.I first encountered the subject of chakras a few decades ago, but then stopped reading books on mysticism because they lead nowhere. I read Michael Hetherington’s book, as well a book by Hema Malini, because they were both short and free, and I thought it would be interesting to see the impression the idea of chakras made on me now. Hetherington tells us the men’s chakra’s rotate clockwise while women’s chakras rotate counterclockwise. Also that they are related to endocrine glands. How anyone knows the direction of chakra rotation, or what the significance of this rotation is, or what the relation to endocrine glands is, he does not explain. OK, I get that his book is a simple how-to guide, and not a treatise on chakras, but why even mention these things without at least a short explanation? The book by Malini gives us the colors of the chakras, again without any explanation of how these colors are known. Belief in chakras has been around for many centuries. Books on chakras always, often written in incomprehensible, but wonderfully heady, mystical mumbo-jumbo, just take their existence for granted. I gather that to really understand chakras one must have devoted oneself to intense meditation for long enough to have achieved a knowledge of Absolute Truth. Since I have not done this I am not qualified to question Absolute Truth, so whenever those people who are at One With God behave in ways that strike me as foolish (Solomon is an example) or repulsively evil (Moses is an example), it is because I am not sufficiently spiritually advanced to understand True Wisdom. I don’t buy it.On the other hand, having said all of this, it is true that meditation is good for the mind and body. Most of the time our minds are occupied with wasteful, repetitive chatter. Weeding this clutter by concentrating on breathing is definitely beneficial. It also seems to be beneficial to visualize healing and relaxation taking place within the body. If meditating on chakras aids this visualization, so much the better. However, our greatest human fallibility is how susceptible we are to manipulation. Sensible skepticism is the best armor against this.

simple and easy is a very accurate title. I downloaded this book a while ago and just started looking through it to clear off my kindle book shelf. I was shocked at how engrossing and helpful this was. I loved it. I honestly didn't know if I would gather much new information from readingyet another book on chakras. I was wrong. Rather than repeating most well known facts, remedies, ect. it gave a very thorough introduction to chakra balancing through spinning. new for me,and Im very excited. Also a very good way of describing the way we are made of energy. A great way of explaining and very down to earth. Encouraging, it made me believe anyone is capable of the technique. No one ever taught me this before. Thankyou!
