The Ultimate Guide to Chakras

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

This book is a stunning informational book with lots of soul. I love the breakdown of each chakra, and how to call on each. I love the mixture of spirituality. Like Athena, I feel all spirituality can be linked and moves toward the same goal. I've always been fascinated with mythology and the similarities from different regions. I'm definitely going to use this guide and share with my family and friends.

The Ultimate Guide to Chakras goes in-depth into each Chakra explaining its purpose and matching it with its correlating stones, mantras and such. I learned so much form this book. In fact, this is the book I was looking for to explain Chakras to me. Overall I decided this wasn't something I didn't want to pursue. It's not because the book is bad but because I had enough information to make a decision for my personal life.
I love the artwork in this book. Each goddess image was beautiful and captivating.
Beautiful and informative, I would recommend The Ultimate Guide to Chakras to anyone who wants to know more about the subject.

This is a very good beginners introduction to chakras, but also I would say it goes in depth enough to be suitable for existing practitioners. Beautiful colors and pictures throughout engage the reader.

I have heard that healing as in this book works. While reading it I can understand more about it and I thank the author for her detail and full information. From the Earth Star Chakra (12" below your feet) which connects you to Mother Earth, to the Root Chakra (base of tailbone) which connects you to stability. This book goes into detail on the 9 Chakras and tells you essential oils, gem stones, tarot cards, Goddesses, herbs and runes associated with each. It also has excercises, mantras and questions. This book is also beautifully illustrated and very peaceful to look at. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about Chakras.
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I really enjoyed this book. I do not really go into the chakras but I most likely will continue to look into this book. There are some exercises in this book, so that can be helpful and not one time ones so that is helpful.

I was not able to read this book before it was archived. However, it is a book I will either buy or get from the library.

The Ultimate Guide to Chakras is wonderfully written and incredibly informational! Whether the reader is just beginning or more advanced, something will be found for everyone. In fact, I found myself learning more than I had anticipated. There is so much in regards to resources and references all fit into this book. From aligning tarot cards, essential oils, crystals, to mantras, and so much more. Each chakra is broken down into terminology that I felt was understandable and not overwhelming. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the chakras.

I was lucky enough to receive a free copy by of this book via netgalley! A very interesting read! Thank you!

Gorgeous book that goes over each chakra in an in depth but easy to follow way. Taking a concept that can seem abstract and showing you how it can be incorporated into your everyday like through essential oils, crystals and rituals/meditations. Athena really knows how to connect with the reader and is a wonderful teacher. It's a book I received for review, but have already purchased for myself because I know it's one I'll want to reference again and again.

Very concise book on eveything you want to know about Chakras. Information on each chakra, how to call on them, meditations, etc. Very full of valuable information and very easy to understand and follow. There are other things written about in this book. This is a book even a beginner will find useful and informative. Very well layed out. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book. Although I received the book in this manner, it did not affect my opinion of this book nor my review.

This book was great for beginners and experts alike for Chakras. I really enjoyed learning more and gaining a stronger understanding of the what and hows of Chakras.

The Ultimate Guide to Chakras by Athena Perrakis is a beautiful, in-depth guide to learning to work with your chakra system. In addition to the seven well-known physical chakras (root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, crown), Perrakis includes two others that I found fascinating- the Earth Star and Soul Star chakras. These two, serving as anchors to Earth and Spirit, are located in the etheric body below the feet and above the head. This is the first time I had come across a book working with these chakras.

Each chakra section begins with a brief introduction, followed by a list of reflective writing questions to prepare you for working with that particular chakra. After the questions comes a list of correspondences, such as deity associations, crystal and herb associations, and oracular associations. These are then discussed in greater detail. There follows a creative task and a chakra awakening meditation for the chakra in question.

This is one of the best books for working with chakras that I've come across. The information was clear and concise. I liked that the author said that each individual should tailor tasks to their need rather than insisting it be done this way or that. Great value was placed on trusting one's intuition. The addition of the Earth and Soul Star chakras really helped illustrate how energy moves between us and the universe. Going through the correspondences lists, I noticed that I have different runic associations with each chakra. I work with 32, rather than 24, runes for one. The rest of the correspondences I grok completely. I have plans to purchase a hard copy and go through the exercises thoroughly, when I can work at a slower pace. Highly recommended!

***Many thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This Chakra guide is visually beautiful and loaded with information. It seems like a lot for a beginner to take in, however is presented in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming. Useful information with a positive message.

A fantastic book to teach you the basics and beyond of chakras, crystals, goddesses, mantras and tarot cards. I enjoyed reading the parts with historical figures and the illustrations to accompany them are beautiful.

Very informative book on the Chakras. This is a great reference book as well. It explains in depth each of the Chakras. This book is written for the beginner in mind but does not bore even the advanced person. This is kind of a text book so a little dry but still a great book.



I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com and chose to leave this review.

The Chakras are one of those things I always have a hard time delving into. I love that this book really laid a wonderful foundation, while delving in a bit deeper. I found myself actually learning and comprehending what was being told to me throughout this book. The pictures were a most wonderful addition. I will absolutely be picking up a copy of this one for myself and some loved ones.

One of the best I've read out there on chakra healing! My go-to reference guide that is always on my nightstand. Easy to comprehend, arranged logically and beautiful illustrations and photographs throughout. Crystals, herbs, meditations, and more for healing!
