 Connection to the Universe May 5, 2008
The clear and simple structure of the book helped as an awakening to my being. Now I am more aware through my feelings and emotions about imbalances on the chakras and how to balance them. the essay section was very enlightening for my being. The exercises and meditations section was very helpful to balance the chakras. This book has become one of my bed-side reference source. I feel this book as a friendly advisor in my journey through earth.
 Would not recommend this as a beginning chakra book. October 28, 2007

I am brand new to chakras, and after reading the reviews I thought this would be an excellent book to start with. I started reading it as soon as I received it. I was extremely disappointed. I MADE myself keep reading, until I was up to about the 5th chakra, and then decided I wouldn't torture myself anymore. I picked up another book I had ordered on chakras, started reading it, and was immediately fascinated by the subject. The other book was by Ambika Wauters, I think her introductory book, called The Book of Chakras; Discover the Hidden Forces Within You. The Book of Chakras: Discover the Hidden Forces Within You She is very informative. But the best part was, she's easy to understand, but doesn't talk like she's on the playground. I'm not sure exactly how to explain it, but I didn't like the style of this guy at all. After reading it, it just sounded like garbage to me. This book is very simplistic and informal; maybe I just need a more intellectual type approach, I don't know. I was looking for a beginner's book, but definitely not this one. I'm glad I got one that was really cheap!
Possibly, this book might be good for children. I guess I felt this was written more at a child's level; very minimal useful information is given, as far as I'm concerned. (I realize the author specifically says this is for beginners! But that's what I am!)
 Pond was not disappointing October 24, 2007
This book did exactly what it set out to do and more. I am fairly new with the chakras myself, knowing only bits about each one. This book not only gave me vast and key information on each chakra, but also gave insight on problems you can have if they are unbalanced and includes tips and meditations on how to improve each one. The book also includes a chakra chart in the end that summarizes key points and things to remember on each one plus a section on "essays" (2-3 pages tops) where he gives you his own take on chakras. I became interested in chakras a few months ago and this is honestly one of the best resources I have found on it. Pond not only gives you just the right amount of information to leave you satisfied (as it is a fairly short book), but also gently guides you into finding out how to awaken different parts of yourself. I was truly impressed. I highly reccommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about chakras.

For true beginners, I'm sure this has value. For anyone who has been doing yoga, the Kabbalah, whatever, for years, this book is old news. Very few exercises are included, and it's too short to help anyone on a more advanced path, IMO.
Very Insightful July 12, 2007
I really got a lot from reading this book. I helped me connect with, identify, and disperse the energies I had already been feeling.... It is great for those who have never heard of the chakras. I would definitely recommend this book to any mature reader.
