The Ultimate Guide to Chakras: The Beginner's Guide to Balancing, Healing, and Unblocking Your Chakras for Health and Positive Energy (The Ultimate Guide to...)

I have read many books on chakras. They have been information but just not enough of something. Now after reading Dr. Athena Perakis, I know know what was missing. She brings in not only the spiritual but the historical information as well. This book is reader friendly but will hold the interest of those that are already educated about chakras as she gives so much more. Dr. Athena Perakis has such a beauty with her written and spoken work and the illustrations are amazing. Each chakra is exquisitely explained as well as the crystals, oils, runes, planets, tarot and recipes corresponding to each chakra. This is a must have for all those who would like to have more balance and peace in their lives. The Ultimate Guide to Chakras, tune in to your chakras, the power centers connecting your physical body and the world of energy will make a perfect gift for all who would are just beginning to work on their chakras as well as those who are already working on balancing and aligning their chakras. I know that Dr. Athena Perakis has two more coming out soon, and I have already pre-ordered.

Just got it yesterday...pre-ordered it as soon as it was available. I'm still reading it and will be for a long time. There is an amazing amount of info in there all laid out in a simple, sensible manner. Whether ur a beginner or experienced working with chakras, this is a complete guide. Each chakra has its own meditation, gemstones, rituals, even runes! You don't need to cross-reference other books or search for info, everything is laid out plainly and in easy to understand ways. It's like an encyclopedia and a how-to all in one. The artwork is exceptional. The art and colors of each section correspond with that particular chakra. Besides the chakra work, there's so much more...working with deities, offerings, rituals...it's amazing the amount of knowledge Athena was able to condense into one book, without losing any of the history. I feel like it gives the reader a very strong knowledge of chakra work but in a concise yet all-inclusive way. It's a brilliant piece of writing with amazing art. I def recommend this book to anyone looking to learn about chakra work or the fundamentals of metaphysics and energy.

I've read MANY chakra books. I chose this one because I read her Blog, enjoy her writing style and respect the author as she is incredibly knowledgable. I was truly interested in her"take" on the subject, but I've read many books on this subject so I didn't expect to learn anything new - just get a fresh take on it. The illustrations are beautiful and the writing flows easily. I found myself slowing down my reading so I could really take in the info. This is how a "beginner" book should be written - this is how an intermediate book should be written - this is how an advanced book should be written. ALL levels will learn a plethora of new information. The material is easy to understand. I'm only a third of the way through the book and I'm amazed at how much I'm learning! Worth every cent but more importantly, so worth taking the time to read! Bravo ! Author! Author! Bravo!

First. Let me explain that I’ve been doing chakra work for 20 plus years now. This is the FIRST book that I’ve found to be most comprehensive and complete for beginner and experienced alike. The DIY recipes and projects are phenomenal and fun! But what’s more is they are practical and jam packed with incredible energetic results! The actual book material is very sturdy and has a soft semi-sheen that lends a beautiful quality to the artwork by Roberta Orpwood is flowing and lovely to concentrate on while meditating upon each chakra. The absolute BIGGEST seller for me was the Soul Star and Earth Star Chakras that are also included in detail so it gives the beginner a lovely introduction to the transpersonal chakras. Dr. Athena Perrakis has outdoen herself A’HO AND ON WE GO!

I’m a Hindu, and I’ve studied Angel Therapy as well. In the book Perrakis says the left side of the body is the male side, giving side. In Hinduism and Angel Therapy the left side is the feminine side , receiving side, and the male side is the right side. I’m thinking maybe she combined different aspects of other belief systems. However, as far as Hinduism this is incorrect. I really bought the book for the Goddesses for each chakra. It’s a great source of information, but I’d NOT let this be my stand alone book for chakras . Do your research, and factor in at least two more books to check facts. I have 7, and I’ve been studying chakras for a few years now. Also, the print could be a bit bigger. Overall, it’s a good book, with exercises , prompts, essential oils, crystals, goddesses for each chakra, rituals, and I like that she focused on the earth and soul star chakras which I think are another two major chakras worth discussing. The Earth Star helps ground us to Gaia, the Soul Star is how we receive our divine information, downloads, etc. Just don’t let this be your stand alone guide, factor in other books/ research to check information. Hope this helps.

First let me say, thank you Athena. Thank you for this beautiful fountain of divine imagery and knowledge. This book has a profound way of letting you embody, experience, and live the essence of the chakras as she offers you many sacred practices and activities to make you feel connected, and help you find that connection. Every word is so delicately woven into a grand story, the chapters taking you into a long winding beautiful path into the world of your energy centers, and the world of YOU. Athena has a magical way of making you realize that it all starts with you, you are the magic, you are the chakras, you are the power. She has given each of the chakras a distinct, unique, and familar voice. Once you have heard them, once they whisper to you, once they start humming to you things forgotten, once you have seen the magnificent choir resting inside you, this choir will sing a song so sweet, so beautiful, you as the composer will want nothing more but to tune it to perfection, and to maintain this vibration as it is such a delightful place to be in. Thank you for this medicine, it truly is something to be treasured. A’ho, and on we go <3

This is an awesome book!! There are explanations of the chakras and exercises to activate energy flow, questions for reflective journaling, and correspondences for each chakra (deities, gemstones, tarot, runes, essential oils and herbs, and planets). And a very deep and beautiful treatment of each of those topics for each chakra. The photography is what grabbed me first -- it is stunning. The artistic illustrations are lovely as well. But best of all from my perspective is the level of scholarship, and I also love the recipes for offerings, crafting, incense, perfume, and more. The whole book is aesthetically so beautiful -- the pages are large and satiny, the colors are intense and lovely, and even the font is chosen carefully. The author's attention to detail is woven throughout this book. Don't miss this one!

It is so amazing and helpful when all the information you need is in one spot. This book holds all the information to get you started with learning about the chakras, connecting, and working with them. From essential oils, herbs, DIY ideas, mantras, guided meditations, archetypes, to the meanings with tarot, runes, and planets . . . just wow. The exercises are practical and easy to follow and the conclusion of channeled information is just a beautiful way for a teacher to share even more, to inspire more thoughts and ideas. I pre-ordered my book and was not disappointed. Some have complained about the text. I have to say that it's really not a big deal. I think what makes it so hard is the fact that some areas have really big font compared to the "heavier" reading areas that are smaller. I had not difficulty reading the information. There are a few typos but it doesn't take away from the information.

No indaga mucho, explicación muy breve.

Maybe the top 1 book for learning everything about the chakras and experiencing yourself the magic of your own truth!!

What a fantastic book about Chakras. The Ultimate Guide to Chakras has enlightened me so much, its totally worth every dollar! I highly recommend this book, if you are new to it or think you know all about Chakras, this book will teach you something new about yourself. Beautiful illustrations and easy flowing pages of well written information about Chakras. Thank you Dr. Athena Perrakis, I am so glad I have it in my library.

I finally got it but haven't had the time yet to dwelve into it.

There is an awful lot of information in this book and it is heard to concentrate on all of it but it is very informative and doesn't leave anything out
