Chakra Healing: A Beginner's Guide to Self-Healing Techniques that Balance the Chakras

I am a practicing Hindu. I've studied chakras, Ayurveda, eastern philosophies for almost 20 Years. I love this book because it provides basic foundational knowledge on the chakras, meditations, stones, reflections, and the mind, body connections. I purchased this awhile back, and recently started rereading. My nephew has A.D.D., as do I, I wanted to introduce him to yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation, not the fluff they teach at school. One of the exercises she recommends is trying to feel the energy flow by using your hands to sense the flow of energy by moving your hands closer together, and wider apart while in a relaxed state. I used this with him, and his mom; it's simple, and they felt it, and understood my explanation of what the chakras are. This is written in easy to understand language, and she doesn't bombard you with too much info all at once. Highly recommend, if you are new to chakras or, the mind body connection, it can all be overwhelming to take in. One can be skeptical, this is more of a spiritual approach to living for some. She structured the book in an approachable way with exercises, reflections, and always recommends to move at your own pace with learning and processing the information. This type of information can be skeptical for those that haven't studied chakras or energy;I like that she was mindful of this idea held by some of her readers. Happy reading, and healing.

In the interest of full disclosure, I will start right off by saying I'm not only a fan of this book and Margarita, but I'm also a patient who has benefited from sessions with her immensely. She is a very dedicated and passionate healer, who's amazing at what she does. She is always learning and expanding upon her skills and it certainly pays off! If anyone is familiar with Margarita's writing on her blog (Alcantara Acupuncture and Healing Arts) or any of the articles she's written for Mind Body Green or The Huffington Post on Integrative Healing, then most would already know what a warm and accessible writer she is. The same is true here. She breaks everything down about the chakras in terms that are easy to understand and remember. I'm familiar with the chakra system, but I really learned a lot of useful information here. The book is a quick and engaging read for anyone. It's divided into four chapters: the first explains what a chakra is and what each chakra governs, the second covers how to work with each of the chakras through meditation, crystals and essential oils, the third breaks down what issues or ailments may be related to which chakra and the fourth explains how the symptoms can be healed by balancing the chakras associated with it. There's also a handy section showing different yoga poses that can help further balance the chakras and a beautiful color section with pictures of the crystals mentioned through out the book. All in all, a very fun read for those who are already knowledgeable and a great primer for anyone who is curious about healing through the chakras.

Even though I have read numerous books and taken many courses on various forms of energy healing (Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, Zen, Taoism, Quantum touch, Reiki, and many others) I had not read a lot on the healing methods of Chakra until I purchased this interesting and informative 190 page soft cover book (Chakra Healing: A beginner’s guide to self-healing techniques that balance the Chakras by Margarita Alcantara). I knew something about balancing the Chakras from the previous energy healing books I had read but this wonderful book gave me a clearer perspective on the subject. I also love the way this book is organized. It provides various techniques and methods you can use to awaken and balance your Chakras, which makes it easier to heal whatever it is that may be troubling you. The fantastic book covers the following topics: The first part: The powerful Chakra System explaining an overview of the Chakras and working with the Chakras. The second part: Healing your Chakras which list some of the common symptoms and ailments and healing remedies and treatments. There is also a helpful appendix on Yoga poses and crystals, as well as resources and references. If you are seeking an excellent and detailed introductory book on Chakra Healing this is a must book to check out. I think it is one of the very best books I had read lately on Chakra healing methods. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Zen Poetry Moments: Haiku and Senryu for special occasions).

Intersting read for those wanting to learn more

This book was a very good quick guide to understanding your chakras and has great activities you can do to help with each one. Definitely beginner friendly but I don’t think this book would be good for anyone who already know the basics or does chakra work already. Easy to understand exercises and I love the yoga and crystal guide. The only thing I didn’t like is that a lot of the practices were the same just activating different chakras and she could have saved some words by just summarizing them all into one. But still highly recommend for a quick easy read on chakras!

I'm new to learning about Chakras. This book has been great for a person who finds reading boring and difficult. I don't feel like it is over complicated to read, and it's very educational.

I ordered this book as a jumping off point in my journey of learning about how to align my chakras! I feel that this is a really good overview of how to begin this effort. This book has many references of what crystals to use and how they will help each chakra in your body! Yes this is a novice take on this subject but it’s pretty well encompassing and the author does a great job to keep you interested even while explaining many different angles of the subject matter. Definitely worth a read to get you used to terminology of this subject and also makes you want to learn more and further your knowledge! So this book gets 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. I haven’t even finished this book but I am using it as a reference for other books I am currently reading. My order was prompt and the book is printed perfectly I’ve found no missing pages or other issues. Very satisfied with this book, but it is basic information so if your not just getting started in this study you definitely want to look elsewhere. I bought it mainly as a reference so I had a physical copy in hand! Definitely worth getting though! Great price as well!

I'm digging this book so far! I haven't finished it yet, but I am definitely a fan. The author does a wonderful job guiding the reader through self-healing techniques that balance chakras. I appreciate how she organized/color coated certain text throughout the book; made it very user friendly for beginner's to follow along with, easy to refer back to something, and was visually very appealing. The author did an amazing job explaining everything and I appreciated that she recognized the importance of western medicine as well (her father is a Western physician). There is a section in the back of the book that explains specifically the description of various crystals (pictures included) to help you decide which crystals best suit your needs- I loved this section! My friend loves crystals and I was thinking it would be a really cool gift idea to purchase this book for her along with some essential oils/crystals to go with. I would definitely recommend this book! It's great for beginners who want to learn more about chakras or individuals that need a quick refresher!

Bien

I am completely in love with this book. I’m not a beginner to spirituality, but haven’t done a lot with chakras. Chakra Healing is the perfect accompaniment to a healer’s range of go-to books.

I am surprised this book has received so much praise. It might be a good introduction, but it is very light in terms of content.

Love the book and also purchased the corresponding gems for each chakra

I recently read Chakra Healing: A Beginner's Guide to Self-Healing Techniques That Balance the Chakras, and I couldn't be happier!

The content is rich with positive vibes, offering practical techniques for self-healing. Delivery was prompt, making this enlightening book a wonderful addition to my wellness journey. Highly recommended for beginners!
