review 1: A little misleading to someone who reads a vast amout of literature on cultures of diffrent directions or path to wisdom and such, but more rubish is written about this or should I say read about this with the misleading streotype of the preconception that is "New Age" and it just reiterates the hippie movement because its all taught by many that have not even the fundamentable principles of the very basics of what the author is presnting in a short very brief summery, so its not so much the author's presentation, but the way most people shape into their own hippie fantasy. but go ahead and see if you can twist into a pretzel and think of how you love everyone and that your one with the universe, but I bet you would grasp the principles more effectively with Aleister Crowl... moreeys' Magick Book I-IV as it is presented in much greater depth and I would say more accurately explained.
review 2: I think the study of the body's chakras as well as the meditations that are desgined to enhance each of these energy centers are so interesting. I have read several books on chakra meditation, and this slim, but information-packed, volume is one of the nicest I have found. The book is particulary appealing because of its brillantly colored art work. Each chapter is dedicated to one of the seven chakras, and each contains an intriguing drawing that is meant to stimulate visually the various chakra meditation it accompanies through the various imagery--colors, animals, shapes, and Sanskrit symbols that mean different inspirational words and mantras. The meditations are described in detail. Some deal with the recharging of the chakra energies themselves and others focus on the element that rules a specific chakra. For example, a fire meditation, which is performed in the presence of a fire or burning candles, is described in Chapter 3 on the solar plexus chakra (75). A quote I especially like from Chapter 4 on the heart chakra is "If you are finding it hard to emotionally disconnect from people who have hurt you, it can help to know that letting go does not absolve these peole from the future consequences of their actions: karma will win out. Once you let go of this hurt, it will be replaced by a sense of the inter-relatedness of all life"(94). This statement is followed by a description of an interesting meditation called "Untying Knots Visualization," (95), which helps a person see him/herself unraveling and letting go of troublesome feelings or resentments. The book also contains lists of specific kinds of incense, essential oils, crystals, gems, flowers and foods that stimulate or unblock each kind of chakra energy. less
