This is an interesting book with some good ideas on how to balance yourself. Balance is very important, especially right now. Enjoy getting a different perspective on balance and help in finding yours.

This is not a reading book, it is a guide, a textbook of sort about chakras and healing energy practices mainly from the authors own personal experiences. It is pretty thorough. and I wouldn't recommend sitting down and trying to read it but rather taking it a chapter at a time and trying to learn. Many of the tips and information are so in depth it is impossible to learn it all in one go, it needs to be repeated and referred back to. It has ALOT of information to take in and therefore might be a bit intimidating for some.
I do recommend this book for anyone with a curiosity about energy healing and chakras. I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review

A great overview full of detailed and easy to understand information about energy work. The book teaches us techniques we can use to help heal ourselves and offers information about chakras. If we can learn to be aware, more self-compassionate and allow our bodies to do it's own natural healing we can learn to live a more authentic life. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC.

I enjoyed this “three books in one” guide to different energy concepts and modalities. I am very open-minded and interested in metaphysical “woo-woo” concepts so none of the three focus areas were new to me: chakras, auras and energy healing. My favorite portion was the last portion as I have had positive experiences with the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or tapping) in the past and enjoyed the comprehensive description of how/why it works and how to implement it.

I would recommend this book for anyone who has an interest in these topics and a low to moderate level of familiarity with them. It’s definitely not for anyone who is woo-averse and probably too basic for expert-level metaphysical practitioners.

I received a complimentary ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Taking a different approach than the normal books with the same theme, this one offers guidance instead of rules. It gives you ways to use what's inside to balance your thoughts, feelings, and energy.

For those seeking the love of any kind, you must start with yourself without seeking outside first. You can't truly know what you desire without knowing yourself first.

I'm studying energy work and this is a great resource. It's very easy to understand and gives you a deeper understanding of everything.

In ULTIMATE ENERGY: USING YOUR NATURAL ENERGIES TO BALANCE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT, the authors offer clear, straightforward insight about energy for the reader to consider, practice, and make their own. The down-to-earth guidance from Tori Hartman on chakras, Eliza Swann on auras, and Kris Ferraro on energy healing was authoritative, experience-based, and accessible that felt more like a trusted relationship with a teacher than the remote and off-putting guides that I've plowed through in the past. I came to this guide a willing skeptic with her own years of practice and emerged smarter and grateful for their expertise. I received an early reader copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my unbiased review.

Detailed and written in easy to understand terminology, it is a very good beginning guide to understanding eastern and western cultures with regards to gaining insight into self through use of chakras and auras. A slow read so that all can be digested or try to practice and understand some of the techniques as described.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book and was under no obligation to provide a review. The opinions expressed are my own. Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I'll admit that this isn't my usual "thing".... but I am so glad I requested to read this for several reasons. One, this is a subject that is asked about often in our particular store/area, and I never have recommendations for our customers. Secondly, I actually really enjoyed how this book (well, 3 books in one) was laid out. And last, but certainly not least, I was actually enthralled the entire time while reading this. I love that it opened my eyes to the energy within us, and surrounding us. I plan to do further research on the topic, thanks to this book. Will absolutely recommend.

This book is really well-written and easy to digest if you are new to spirituality and chakras. Ultimate energy is a three volume set into one book.

My favorite portion was about the Chakras; the author Tori is known for her Chakra Wisdom Oracle cards and her wisdom in this area is felt and easy to read, connect with and understand. She provides an extensive history of chakras and explains how the humanizing the revolutionary process helped evolve this practice.

Through reading this book I learned invaluable lessons and information that I know I can use in my personal practice and daily life. The chakras are continuous wheels in motion full of energy moving through our bodies. When we are in tune with emotional, physical and spiritual energy, the end results is internal peace along with authentic harmony.

Great read and it's definitely a book you can always refer too and will remain timeless.

Good stuff. This covers a wide range of material, and although factual has an undertone of love from the authors, who obviously want to help readers. Readers will be drawn to certain sections more than others, but will benefit from reviewing the entire text. Probably best for readers new or in early stages of exploration of this type of info.

I really appreciate the ARC for review!!

This is a step above the usual self help books. I like the techniques the author suggest which are healthy ways to incorporate good energies into your life. This book is a delight and a joy to read. It is the ultimate guide to improving upon your mental and physical health. Very well done to the author. This is a great book to add to your personal self help library.

As someone who has been on a journey to becoming the best version of me possible, I find guidance in the written word and through the teachings of others. This book was such a joy to read.

As I read this book I found myself really opening up and learning how to use my own energy to heal. This book is a wonderful way to learn about chakras. It also helps to teach you how to bring healing and balance through your own energies.

We all have the power within us to heal, find balance, and to find peace if we know how to use our inner energy. Through reading this book I was able to learn to harness that energy and use it.

Unlike other self-help books, this one doesn't tell you what you are doing wrong but instead leads you with empathy and allows you to learn in small steps. This helps you to have patience and kindness with yourself as you take the journey to heal.

The best part is that what I have learned is something I can practice daily on my journey to inner healing and finding joy.

I loved this book and thought it was interesting and isn’t something I would normally read but the cover and description had me hooked.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced e-copy of Ultimate Energy: Using Your Natural Energies to Balance Body, Mind and Spirit!!!

I really enjoyed this book. I had been interested in learning about chakras for quite some time and has no idea how to start, so when I found this book on NetGalley, I knew it would be the book for me.

This book would be great for anyone who is interested in chakras. It is interesting to see how you can use your own energy to help heal you. I hope to use some of this new knowledge in my everyday life.

Really interesting and easy to read guidance on the phenomena of chakras and energy healing. Very accessible. I am looking forward to seeing what this looks like in print because I feel like the right kinds of graphics and illustrations would be helpful and really put this over the top as great reference for yogis and readers who enjoy New Age-y type subjects.

How frustrating is it to be told by all the different sources the things you must do to be successful in life? This book definitely does NOT do that. It instead takes an empathetic approach and gives bite size approaches and allows you to have kindness and patience with yourself when dealing with life. This is so necessary for everyone to read in life. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
