A beautiful book on chakras, and a great compliment to her other book on auras. It offers a lot of guidance, photos on the chakras' location, mantras for each chakra, and information about each chakra. I found this to be a much better, interesting, beautiful, and entertaining guide on chakras than many other books in this subject. Great read.

A decent book, nice for the visual beginner. Good for those who do want to focus on chakras and want that visual.

While i have always thought I've known the chakras where they re positioned and what they represent (to an extent) I've been a bit put off in delving (and understanding) much further because of the ancient names given to each of the chakras. Cassie's clear explanation of each of them and what they represent, offering exercises to activate them was incredibly useful. The visuals really make this guide too. Recommend.

This is the perfect book for beginners who want to learn more about chakras. It was so easy to understand and read for someone who had no idea about how chakras work. The book itself is so beautiful and the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend this book.

I had very little knowledge of the chakra system before reading this book, so this was the perfect introduction! I loved how the author went into detail about each of the chakras and included ways to determine if each one is balanced (or over or underactive). There was also helpful information about how to balance the chakras through daily mantras, meditation, the use of crystals, and other healing strategies. The book was also really fun because of the beautiful illustrations for each chakra (the artwork felt really modern and fresh.)

Experts on Eastern medicine probably won't find much new information here, but for novices like me, this was absolutely perfect. I'm much more interested now in learning about the spiritual body and how energy blockages can lead to disturbances in the system (both emotionally and physically). I'm also kinda inspired to go buy some crystals now too!

This is a definite recommend for anyone interested in learning what chakras are - this fast and easy-to-read book is a gift!

A beautiful illustrated guide to Chakras and very easy to understand.
Accessible to newbies and to the more experienced, I found this book very interesting and well researched.
The illustrations help the readers to familiarise with every chakra, its properties, associated crystals and connections.
I particularly appreciated the fact that the author offered the traditional Hindu properties and the Modern Western Correspondences.
I would totally recommend the Handbook to anyone curious to learn about Chakras but also to those willing to deepen their knowledge.

Thanks to the publisher and to the author for the ARC in exchange of my honest review.

Beautiful illustrations and very easy to understand for someone new to chakras such as I! I really appreciate Cassie breaking all the chakras down for both beginners and experts as well! This is a book I will refer back to many times as I get to completely understand the chakras. Bonus is the book also includes mantras and crystals in the chapters. Very easy layout to follow!

I really enjoyed the way this book was set out. It has key information and top tips on how to change what you do to influence your chakras. This guide was so clear and informative- it also suggested other things to look in to if you want to know even more. A great starting point for anyone who wants to know about chakras as well as being useful for those who already have some understanding of chakras and want to Know top tips on how Do things better.

The Zenned Out Guide to Understanding Chakras is quite a visually stunning book. I'm familiar with the study of chakras, and Cassie Uhl does a beautiful job of making this concept accessible to readers who know nothing and would like to learn more while simultaneously providing a colorful reference book for more knowledgable readers who wish to "trouble-shoot" as needed.

I also appreciate the inclusive illustrations. It's lovely how the book normalizes diversity, and it feels appropriate that a book in this genre chooses to lead by example in this manner.

Seven chakras are thoroughly discussed with a chapter devoted to each one. Honestly, the amount of information in this one book is equivocal to a number of courses I've taken on the subject! I was so happy to realize this as I read because I firmly believe such knowledge that benefits humanity should be accessible to all at a reasonable price.

This is a book that will undoubtedly have a space on one of my physical bookshelves! I highly recommend it, and I look forward to reading more by this author.

I received an ARC from NetGalley. Opinions reflected in this review are entirely my own.

Very pretty to look at.
Easy to read and follow for someone like me who knows basically nothing about this stuff and wanted to start. Heaps of information but it's delivered perfectly.

I've been a follower of Zenned Out for quite awhile now, I am obsessed with their ritual deck so when I saw this book coming out I couldn't have been more over the moon.

For anyone looking for a great go-to chakra guide, Cassie Uhl, sums everything you want to know all into one. This book is incredibly user friendly for new and tenured learners alike. The illustrations were to die for beautiful and the layout of the book was easy to follow.

I enjoyed how Cassie guided us through spiritual practices for each chakra without being overly repetitive. In addition each chakra is paired with crystals, scents, and mantras so you can have a quick visual snapshot in each chapter and the more indepth information to follow.

Thank you Cassie Uhl, Quarto Publishing Group, and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved this!!
I have been looking for a decent book about the Chakras for years now, and I think this will now be my go-to. Most other books I have read refer to where abouts on the body the chakras are, and the colours, and what they do. This book however, goes a step further. It explains about balanced, over-active and under-active chakras - how to identify them and how to help get them balanced.
It also mentions linked zodiac signs, elements, chanting rituals - so so much information in the
book!!!
Despite all the info it isn't at all overwhelming. The books layout is super easy to understand and follow, and the illustrations are a great bonus too.

I thoroughly recommend this book. Not only is this great for beginners, and those new to light-work, but due to the in-depth info, it's also great for those wanting to delve deeper into chakras.
Loved it!!!

I've been a yoga practitioner for a few years now, and I always hear about the chakras in the yoga context, but never really fully understood the functions of the chakras or the rest of the subtle body. This book was great for someone like me, as a straightforward introductory guide to the subtle body system and the elements of the chakras. Each chapter explores the function of the chakra, identifying an overactive chakra or underactive chakra, and advice on how to find a balanced chakra. The graphics help with the understanding as well, and some chapters even include helpful recipes. It was all great for me until the last 2 chapters, which got a bit too woo woo for me, talking about intuiting chakras and reading them with a pendulum. Nonetheless, the rest of the book served as a great introductory guide to the chakras!
