Chakras for Beginners: The Complete Guide to Balancing the 7 Chakras and Healing your Body with Guided Chakra Meditation

I bought this book (kindle edition) based almost entirely on the absolutely glowing reviews seen here, especially since the preview was very limited. I requested a refund after only a few minutes scanning through the book. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but this book (Chakras for Beginners: The Complete Guide to Balancing the 7 Chakras and Healing your Body with Guided Chakra Meditation (Kindle Edition) by Judith Yandell) is NOT the book that many of these reviews are written for. A few brief examples, each from a different review but all found here on this page:One reviewer says for each chakra it has a breakdown of "associated data for precious stones, runes, planets, tarot, oils"... it does not have any of that.Another reviewer said it has "beautiful artwork".... there is zero artwork or illustrations of any kind, it's text only.Another review refers to the author in a sentence starting with: "Alcantara's book is written in a three step format...". This book is not in a 3 step format and the author is Judith Yandell. There IS a book called "Chakra Healing: A Beginner's Guide to Self-Healing Techniques that Balance the Chakras" by a Margarita Alcantara, which is probably the book that this reviewer intended to refer to and it may or may not be the book the other reviews are referring to.Also, a quick search of "Chakras for Beginners" as a title pulls up a whole bunch of books with that phrase in the title with various subtitles so I can see why there would be confusion.This book (by author Judith Yandell) might have been fine if it were what I was expecting, but it simply is not the book that the most of the glowing reviews are referring to. It's nicely written from what little I read, but it's a short, 80 page book with no photos or illustrations, text only, no associated crystals/etc, and not at all what I would describe as "in-depth". If you just want to read a brief summary with some helpful suggestions & exercises, this may suit your needs just fine.But do not base your purchase on the other reviews here as I did, because many of them are clearly not for this book.

Long before modern technology and science, ancient cultures knew that all living things carried a life force with them. They called the centers of energy that move inside of us - chakras. The 7 chakras are the energy centers of your body. If they’re blocked or out of balance, you’ll feel the repercussions in your body. If you want to reap the benefits of a healthier mind and bring harmony in your life, you have to balance your chakras and unlock their power.This guide covers essential fragments of knowledge for chakra beginners, giving you a definitive understanding of all the basics you need to master your chakras.

The book was written simply. I feel like I have a good understanding of the Chakras and I feel ready to engage in this energy to heal my life. I appreciate the exercises. I appreciate the sincerity of the author.

As a person unfamiliar with chakras , I found this book very helpful. I plan to copy many of the breathing exercises and other great ideas that were presented and I hope to integrate them all into my life as I continue to heal.

This book is very detailed, and easy to follow.

Love it, very informational

Good book for beginners. A lot of valuable info and meditations to help understand the chakras and how they function.
