What? No reviews for this book?!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kundalini Awakening: Gentle Guide to Chakra Activation and Spiritual Growth (Paperback)
This is my favorite book which teaches a traditional approach to awakening ones chakras.It was a joy to read and I had the distinct feeling that it was a true labor of love for Mr Selby. His love and passion for the subject really shines in his writing. I also liked Zachary Zelig's wonderful paintings (mandalas for the different chakras)in the center of the book. This book combines some of the best traditional approaches to stimulating the chakras- sound (mantra), breathing (pranayama), and visualization. In addition it also suggests several different programs of practice- one which combines all techniques, one which concentrates on breathing alone, one on mantra alone, and another which you can do in 7 breaths during ones everyday life. I really like the approach he takes to working with the chakras- not concentrating on any single one but working with all of them in a balanced way to create a safe, steady, and gentle opening. Another book on the chakras I really like is Sanaya Roman's "Soul Love." It teaches a more modern approach to working with the chakras that I find to be very effective. Whenever I am asked to recommend books on the chakras, these two titles (Kundalini Awakening and Soul Love) always are at the top of my list. Kundalini Awakening is probably the better of the two books to start with because Soul Love is a bit more involved and more difficult to put into practice. For those who are looking for an introduction to the chakras and a practical way of working with them this book is the best I know of.

Exceptional work on this Yoga discipline,

Exceptional documentation on a Yoga discipline which is usually shrouded in mystery. John Selby knows his stuff. If you want airy fairy New Age emotional ramblings, don't buy this book. If you want to get straight to the matter of getting back to source then get this book. Thoroughly recommended.

An easy and simple guide for beginners or intermediate meditators,

This review is from: Kundalini Awakening: Gentle Guide to Chakra Activation and Spiritual Growth (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book and have found it's helped my meditation practice immensely. Like many people living in the Western world, I have a lifestyle which makes any kind of spiritual focus and practice seem very difficult indeed. However John Selby is well aware of these difficulties and his book aims to help people just like me - people who are living amongst the stress of daily modern life. He includes anecdotes of his own personal experience in addition to practical techniques and wisdom. There is an explanation on each of the chakras, a mandala, a mantra and a visualisation and/or breathing and other techniques listed for each chakra. I found the book simple and easy to understand and follow and I'd recommend it either to a beginner or intermediate meditator. If you have been meditating for years but wish to expand your practice to include kundalini awakening then this book will really help to deepen your awareness.
