Chakra Balance: The Beginner's Guide to Healing Body and Mind

First of all I am not one prone to buying what I consider a self help book but this lovely beautiful little book is amazing! Right away I was drawn to how it literally felt in my hands. The paper is thick and velvety and wonderful to hold. Unlike any other book I’ve ever touched before so it immediately draws you in. It is so well written and simply outlines the chakras in an easy to read yet very informative manner. I find myself reaching for it every morning while I drink coffee and stretch to read a few more pages. I now incorporate what I’m learning into my daily stretching. I’ve picked up other books similar and have been bored by the overwhelming amount of info but April Pfender has really created a gem! If you’re even thinking about it, get this book! Then get it for a friend! It’s wonderful.

This is a perfect little book!! I heard about chakras in yoga class and wanted to learn more. This book offers an excellent overview of all the chakras, imbalance / blockage symptoms, and yoga poses, crystals and essential oil remedies. I am learning so much, and slowly healing myself from a tendency to overwork (solar plexus chakra) and clam up (throat chakra) and a few other physical ailments. I feel inspired by this high vibe guide and glad to know a bit more to illuminate my beloved yoga practice. It's the kind of book that you can skim and glean tons of useful info, or really delve in and practice all the suggested remedies. Thanks very much April for a fantastic book!

What a goldmine of information! I went to a New Age shop to pick up a stone that was recommended in the book and she'd never heard of it. While I was perusing, she got online and looked it up and said it's often called something else and they didn't have it. It's supposed to be the "highest vibrating" stone on the planet. So, guess I'll need one of those from Amazon. :-) Great meditations, and generally great tips in an easy to read format.

Coming into this book, I would say my understanding of Chakras on a scale of 1-10 would be around a 2. I've heard the terms, i was familiar with some of the practices but wasn't able to see how them all really came to together and cohesively put them to practice. I really appreciated how straightforward all the information was. The flow of information was logical and as a visual person, i enjoyed the simple illustrations used for each pose. A super useful book for any beginner–it definitely piqued my interest to learn more and take a deeper dive into energy healing.

i’m about 44% thru the book and it’s been a pleasure to read. the author offers an easy to understand primer on the 7 major chakras and a multi-disciplined approach to their realignment (meditation, yoga, crystal, essential oil, food and life style adjustments) i appreciate that the yoga poses come with both worded instruction as well as a picture of the pose in action. the book is well organized with a synopsis of key points at the beginning of each chapter good for refreshing your memory or quick access to pertinent information.

A clear, well-written book that’s an easy and fascinating read. Absolutely a must for anybody with an interest in chakras and energy study. April Pfender, the author, connects the dots between reiki, yoga, diet, and helps you to understand what stresses or deficiencies may be impacting your overall health. I love the symptom chart, and I’m going to keep this book near me for reference. Definitely recommend it for a beginner or even someone versed in chakra studies who wants to brush up!

I'd highly recommend this as an essential guide for any healing library. Not only is it easy to read cover-to-cover, but it's presented in a way that makes quick reference easy too. If you're interested in learning more about the chakra system, how to best support its highest alignment, and what tools will be most helpful in doing so, Chakra Balance is a wonderful introduction that will lead you well on your way :)

Discovering April has and is my latest gift that the universe has given me. Thank you, the correct information at the correct time.

Not an overwhelming amount of information. Well written and divided to give a good basic knowledge of your chakras. Loved it!

Detailed for a beginner, but interesting extra info enough for a more seasoned practitioner! It's all around a great book on chakras and how to care for yours :)

Sehr schön gestaltet, übersichtlich und informativ, bin sehr happy damit!

Must read

Great book for beginners that want to learn more about the chaka system, crystals and yoga. Very well explained and written with guided meditations to read through. I strongly recommend this book.
