So. You should read this book. Because it's amazing. And hopefully by early September, when I'll have read the whole novel, you'll get the review again, for the first time....more

I was incredibly impressed with the down to earth, An early reviewer book from a few weeks ago, off Library Thing, that I forgot to move over here --
I was incredibly impressed with the down to earth, easy to process nature of this book (and that's speaking as someone who uses and owns at least a dozen favorite books on Chakras, has spent whole years focused on them with a spiritual community, and is presently dedicated to them for a seven year period of intense study).
Each chakra is laid out with clear terms, referencing all the things that go with it. Talking about the psychology of how each one effects your life, or how negative situations in your life might have made it more inwardly sheltered from the way it's supposed to be. I like that he focuses on how easy it is to find chakra's in an imbalance and incorporates how to put your chakras (and yourself/your life) back on the right path.
The book reminds you, often, that it is truly an on-going process, taking care of yourself, and your chakras as you make choices/take actions and react to other people's choices/actions in the world around you. That these things are always in flux, always coming out of joint and we can always be working to pull it all back in a calm, clear homeostasis within ourselves. I'd advise this book more for a beginner, but I definitely learned a thing or two I hadn't previously connected to it, too....more

It's not that it's bad. That's not why I feel odd. I feel odd reviewing it because the whole of it is 26 pages from beginning to end, which makes it even shorter than the general novella's that have been coming out everywhere in this last year. The text itself is really all aimed to one specific exercise you can do to jumpstart everything else.
While I haven't tried it, I can say that it looks well laid out for the means behind the purpose explained in it. There are various levels ranging from beginnings to slowly building up a tolerance to higher ability. It seems to have the proper warnings at all important levels where they would be needed. So, if short and being something I have no experience with it seems like a pretty well put together How-To. ...more
Huuuummmmnnaaa. I needed this so badly, and started it on a plane flying home from San Francisco to Texas, without even a summary.
The first hilarious Huuuummmmnnaaa. I needed this so badly, and started it on a plane flying home from San Francisco to Texas, without even a summary.
The first hilarious thing was me realizing this book was set in San Francisco, and that everything about that made me feel infinitely more intimately intertwined with the book as I was leaving my first trip to the city. Where the fog really does roll in every morning, and again every afternoon, and how people really do carry sweat shirt for that second afternoon/evening fog roll in, even on warm summer morning. How people just knock into you and keep going, the rush, rush, rush of that city and everyone in their own little bubble worlds. I felt I could place this world so well.
And then we bring in the whole book plot itself, which I don't even want to give it away. This book is tight and it's reveal is fast and slow all at once the whole way through, making you look over your shoulder, the characters shoulder, questioning everything the whole way. Because I promise you, even once you think you know what's going on, you still don't. There's a whole bunch I really still can't wait to see when it decides to take place in book 2 (and book 3 if there is a 3).
As a rare shoutout, this is probably the first ya book in the history of time that I felt properly, respectfully, and without pointing out to every dragging, breaking book coda -- the discovery of being bisexual in a ya character. Without it changing who she was or the story the book was telling. It was so so so well done. It just happens, on both sides of the line like breathing. With both a girl and boy (even if yes it sets up a triangle for Book 2, which I'm note entirely fond of). It's just handled so effortlessly I felt like I didn't have to stare or scrutinize my sexuality being displayed. My hat off entirely. ...more
