I enjoyed this book as a whole and found it very intriguing. I've read a lot about Chakra's, but still found myself learning more this this book!

Very interesting read. Learned a lot about Chakras and how we can implement the teachings in to our everyday lives.

I am not familiar with chakras to the extent this books goes into explaining. I found it interesting and informative on how to incorporate into my daily life and could find that helpful. I think I need more exposure to really immerse myself in but will certainly give a try. Thank you #netgalley #shai tubali for this arc.

This is not my first chakra book, but it was the deepest I've read. I found the information enlightening and helpful, and know my patrons will enjoy having access to another helpful resource in our collection. This is a good buy for communities exploring "new age" titles.

I am familiar with the chakras, however this is my first deep dive into the chakras, and I found the history and understanding of the 7 day journey to be very useful. I also learned we each have a chakra personality type. How fascinating! This book divides the chakras into seven days, devoting a day specifically to each one, and it allows us to concentrate on making each chakra healthy, thus aiding to an overall balanced body and mind. The daily chakra work is divided into sections and you can do all of the sectional work, or choose what you need that day. There is a plethora of individual chakra information related to grounding, blessings, happiness, to-do suggestions, meditations, and so much more. To sum it up, there is a wealth of knowledge in this book that I found to be very educational, inspiring and above all, helpful!

Thank you to NetGalley and Llewellyn Publications for the ARC of this book.

The 7-Day Chakra Challenge

I have worked with the chakras for over 30 years, since I became a Reiki master. I'm always interested in other people's take on this ancient energy system and how they work with it. This is one of the more unique spins I've read. In this book, the author has created a 7-day routine that goes along with the seven major chakras. Before he details the activities and considerations of the seven days, he discusses chakras in general, the concept of the week, how chakras reflect our needs as well as an idea I've never seen before, the concept of being a certain chakra personality... that is, you have one particular chakra with whose energy you identify with the most. The instructions for each day, starting with the root chakra on Monday, are quite involved. Frankly, it's hard to imagine reading and doing all he says on a workday, which Monday is for a lot of us. I could see fitting bits and pieces into a workday, but not everything... especially for me, as I work a 12-hour day. The author suggests you start and repeat this 7-day chakra cycle each week. What he suggests you do each of the days could certainly lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life. He has you focus on important things in life, from smaller to larger concepts, from the concrete to the esoteric, from the physical to the emotional to the mental to the spiritual. Ideally, to me at least, you should pick a peaceful week to do this cycle for the first time, and then you could figure out how to best incorporate what he suggests for each day into your busier normal life if you want to continue the practices in the future. At times I felt the book was too mired in modern buzzwords, like change, habits, and goal setting. To me, the study of the chakras goes so much deeper than whatever the current self-help buzzwords are. But if that doesn't bother you or you can get beyond it, this book is a fascinating take on an ancient concept.

This is the perfect book for someone who is just starting a yoga regime, or delving into New Age philosophies. The author leads the reader through the special energy points in the body and gives insights in how to connect with each chakra. There is more out there that can give us special energy and light, and that comes from within first.

The seven main chakras are the focus here, each representing the seven dimensions of life, and the author gives the reader each day of the week to focus and cultivate each one. It is a great book for both beginner's as well as those working on the practice. Well done. #7DayChakras #NetGalley.

Very informative book. Full of a lot of useful information. This book will also be very useful for future reference.

Although this is well-written, I didn't connect with it. I compliment the author on her goal of helping others. I'm sure it will. Too some degree it is too feminine for this male, and it includes journaling, which I don't do. I wanted to like this but it wasn't helpful to me.

Thanks very much for the ARC for review!!

Interesting book that gives an explanation of chakras for people like me who do not know a lot about them. The author then gives a plan for incorporating different strategies into your week to focus on a chakra each day. I thought it was a good idea and plan on using some of the ideas suggested in the book.
