This is certainly the most engaging and comprehensive book about chakras that I've read -- it even talks about the earth star and soul star chakras which are not typically covered in other related literature.

The artwork and layout are beautiful, there are exercises to help integrate knowledge about chakras or to discover more about them through personal experience, activations, and guided meditations. There is additional research about how chakras can be found in other literature (for example, associated godesses to a particular chakra don't all come from the Hindu religion) and their associated gemstones, herbs, essential oils, and more.

What would make this book five stars for me is if the book had information about closing one's chakras as a form of energetic protection. Some people believe that having chakras in different points of the body actually weakens a person's energetic system, so I would have appreciated additional insight on this.

Chakra healing is a tradition that's thousands of years old. The exercises in this book shall help you to unblock the energy flow through your chakras, by addressing each chakra on its own and all of them in combination. Each chakra's corresponding goddesses, tarot cards, gem stones, etc. are listed and explained, and there are recipes for corresponding esssential oils, as well as, mantras to chant.

The information in this book is especially suited for a beginner at chakra healing.

The embodiment exercises are easy to follow, yet I would find them more helpful if they were audio guided.

The Ultimate Guide to Chakras brings a new dimension to the "normal" book on Chakras. Athena brings in crystals, herbs and goddesses to the study of Chakras.

I’ve always been interested in learning more about chakras and was very happy to read this book. It was informative and helpful and I feel I have a good knowledge of the subject now. Well recommended.

I am not able to review this book because no matter how many times I tried to download it, I kept getting an adept error of some kind. I downloaded a few other boos tonight from NetGalley so I know it’s not my device. I am giving it a high rating so as not to hurt the author.

From knowing nothing about chakras, i found this book really inciteful and useful. i can now say i know more about chakras and am able to put this knowledge into practice.

“The Ultimate Guide to Chakras” by Athena Perrakis addresses the nine major power centers connecting your physical body and the world of energy, explaining how to tap into each for better balance and healing. Each chapter presents helpful exercises for accessing chakra-related energy, with supports such as meditations and journal exercises. Highly recommended!

Thank you! :c)

I really enjoyed this book. Just looking at it made me feel calm and relax. The discussion on Chakras was informative and this will make an excellent resource for a variety of patrons. The inclusion of Mantras and Embodiment exercises makes this text stand out from the rest.

The exercises were good and well-thought out and easy to follow and I did appreciate that the author included which gemstones, essential oils and herbs went with each chakra and how to use them.  I also appreciated the mantra for each chakra.  The introduction of tarot I found to be almost off-topic, tarot can be it's own book.  There was nothing new or exciting in this book.  I didn't care for the way it was laid out.  It felt like a textbook, very wordy with a lot of words on each page, not a lot of diagrams or drawings to keep your interest, as is the current trend in non-fiction.

I have had Chakra cleansing completed by someone before, and I found it really helpful, so I was very happy to see this book as I’ve always wondered if it was something I could do myself. I’m forever told my heart chakra is misaligned.

The book is a wonderful introduction that breaks down each chakra and explains what scents and crystals that will help you in your task of chakra cleansing.

I’d love to see this book become and audiobook.
