Hidden Msg review
Can water tell us something about ourselves? Given the human body is seventy (70) percent water; is it possible that how water is affected by the environment is in direct relation to how we are affected? In his book, The Hidden Messages in Water, Masaru Emoto explores the crystalline structure of frozen water that has been exposed to various environmental factors while pondering this possibility. Emoto has taken thousands of beautiful photographs under microscopes from water sources all over the world. He believes that the varying types of crystals, or lack of, hold a message about our own health and more. He shares many of his best photos throughout the book as an important visual aid in making his case. An essential perspective on our everyday activities
This book is extremely accessible to anyone open to new ideas. The insights and questions brought up in this compact book inspired my artwork in so many ways, I can't even begin. The book is much more than pictures of water crystals, (which is worth the price alone) it is a simple, yet highly complex philosophy about our existence on Earth. Buy it, read it, love it......

A change of perspective...
Dr. Emoto's book challenges more than just perception with his thought-provoking journey into the hidden messages of water. His studies over the past decades have indeed upturned even one of the most widely accepted of notions in our world: that we are unable to control elements outside of ourselves and our immediate environments. Through simple language that is readily understood even by those of us who are non-science-minded, the book gently explains that the findings of Dr. Emoto have been ground-breaking in understanding the impact of our thoughts on the world around us. He clearly explains that the affirmations of a positive attitude are as impacting upon our evironments as actions. Emotions like love and gratitude are shown to be creative forces in this universe. Likewise, the impact of negative thoughts and emotions can be shown to destroy. With an open mind, Dr. Emoto's studies could change your world, as well. ... Read more

Great Book
I used this book as a reference for a class I taught on Chakra Healing and Balancing. Wonderful info. from the Chakra expert Anodea Judith.

Great Reference Guide
This book is loaded with tons of useful information.I just purchased the book and have not finished reading it, but this is definately a book that I will always keep and use as a reference.The information is written in an easily understand manner and is very detailed with regard to each chakra.

If you only buy one this should be it.
This book goes well beyond the basics that are found in other books.Anodea Judith laces her work with insightful theory and psychology, to help you grow and connect.It has all the basics, but also much more.This is a great book to help you establish a chakra balancing practice.These are tools you can use throughout your life to help you keep balanced even in times of disaster and suffering.

Just the introduction I was looking for!
I have practiced yoga regularly for several years now, and this has led to an interest in exploring the chakras, the seven "energy centers" of the body.I was able to obtain some basic information online, but I wanted a book which would provide more details as well as exercises--hopefully incorporating yoga--which would focus on balancing the energy of the chakras.Happily, this book met my needs very well.
excellent introduction to chakras
I have read many books on chakras, and this one really stands out in its ability to relay concepts with Simplicity and Clarity, which renders them more accessible to most readers.His meditations are pleasant, and I hope he writes more of them for us in the future.
Chakras for beginners?
I didn't like this book much at all. Even though the author might know his chakras inside out, he failed to motivate me to work on them. Too much new agey sweetness of light for me, sorry. I regret buying this book. ... Read more

a very good book
I read this after I read Holographic Universe. Both were very good books. I recommend them highly!

a classic
very challenging, stimulating and ultimately satisfying dialogue that nicely coalesces with the seminal works of such great writers as Alan Watts, Fritjof Capra and Robert Anton Wilson. A journey
Talbot opens the book with an introduction that gives the reader some idea of where he's going.The first several chapters lay down a quick ground work, introducing the reader to the old physics' universal precepts.He then goes into what new areas of quantum research are uncovering and postulating, and ties it in with mostly eastern mystical thought: Tantra, Buddhism, and the in-betweens.He makes references to specific cases, specific theories, and specific thinkers, past and present.The work is overall well written and well cited, very coherent and unesoteric.I recommend the book to anyone looking for an explaination for what they can't explain and who is not satisfied with occidental mythoi. ...

Wheels of Light
This is an interesting book, but I found it hard to understand.

Truly inspiring!
I have read this book numerous times and I learn new things every time. If you're looking for a more peaceful life and intrigued by the power of natural healing. Other great books that I would recommend are; Hands ofLight & Creative Visualization. Read with an open mind and enjoy!

A resourceful, insightful introduction to the chakras.
Wheels of Light begins with an introduction to the "mysteries" of the chakras.It reveals the touching story of the Rainbow Warrior who healed and prophesied because he could see the rainbow beyond the rainbow.Color, vibration, and auras are explained in detail.Several chapters unfold the secrets of the chakras in beautiful detail. ...

The importance of inner development
I have read others books of Dr. Weiss and the messages given by the Masters made me acknowledge the importance of spiritual development. We are here to learn and improve ourselves until we get close to God. I hope I can learn my lesson in this life and keep improving myself! We are eternal in spirit!

This book will change your perception of life and death!
Inside this book, Dr. Weiss explored the reality of reincarnation and past lives. I understand that there are many people, including myself, who have great reservations about past lives, life after death and NDEs. However, Dr Weiss is definitely not a psychic but a strong believer in science. Since he had revealed so many real experiences of his patients in this book, I think we can no longer reject these bizarre occurrences as made-up stories or mere hallucination. If Dr. Weiss is right, then death is not the end and our souls are immortal, experiencing life after life! Dr. Weiss even claimed that many physical and emotional problems such as asthma, neck pains, depression and phobias have their roots in our past lives. We can heal them if we face the problem-causing events in our past lives once again through regression therapy. Some people even consult Dr. Weiss to find out the cause of their marital and relationship problems from their past lives. Dr. Weiss' theory for this is: Once we re-experience the traumatic event, our minds learn to accept it with more understanding and forgiveness, thus our minds and bodies will be healed simultaneously. Dr. Weiss also descibed some of his own past lives in this book. The irony is, in one of his past lives, he was tortured to death for preaching the forbidden belief of reincarnation to the public. This book is indeed very thought-provoking and may even change your understanding about the meanings of life.

There is so much more to life...
I admit to reading anything and everything by Weiss, so maybe I'm biased but I loved this book. He tells us how to reach into the depths of our soul to transform our everyday life.I find inspiration in all of his books and recommend them highly! ... Read more

Do Dogs Go To Heaven?
Anyone that has lost a beloved pet like I have, should read this book! It just was so uplifting to know that God has my Chester in Heaven. I can"t say enough about Ms. Holmes book on God"s Creation.

Not uplifting
I did not find solace in this book - no tenderness or, in my opinion,understanding of how hurtful the loss of a pet is.
A Major Psychiatric Help for Me
Thanx for writing this book.I have not read it...yet, but have read a lot of entries here.I have lost my German sheperd, Chloe, in early August 2005.She died of old age.I have grand mal epilepsy & have noticed many times that she knew that they were coming on even before I had an aura or not.Sad eyes & all. ...

Excellent Synthesis of Ancient Wisdom and New Thought
Going Deeper offers an excellent synthesis of ancient wisdom, new thought, and the experiences gained from Jean-Claude Koven's own personal wanderings. His ability to fuse seemingly unrelated material into a coherent book was inspired, as was his choice of the protagonist's teacher - a telepathic dog. His playful dialog keeps the mood light, while introducing some profound concepts. All readers, whether new to the spiritual path or highly experienced, will gain some insight from this work, if not a deeper view of who we are and what is our life purpose.
Exraordinary Insight
Going Deeper is the seekers dream, explaining many of the questions internally asked and perhaps not yet revealed.Jean Claude's use of metaphor is brilliant and downright funny! For anyone on the path of Spirit, this is a "must read" for it is all about you and why you are here and how you can sieze your own power and why you will or must.My 22 year old son "stole" it from me the first day and I could hear him chuckling all along the way.I thoroughly enjoyed this insightful and delightful story of the life of a fellow wonderer coming into accepting his own divinity and power.I rate this 5 stars even though it says 4 above.

Profound - And Needed
I have to say, this author knows her stuff.
one of the best books I ever read
Ever had things happen to you that made you wonder why cetrain type of things seem to be happening to you over and over again? I stumbled up this book during the time of my divorce, when I was desperate to figure out why it happened, what was my lesson, and how do I make sure I learn it. One of the books that taught me a great deal about myself. I am now using it to raise and support my son better than my parents knew how. Tattoo of second chakra from this book made its way on my lower back as a permanent reminder of the fact that we are so much more than this mortal body.

A map of the human psyche
I loved this book - I found so much of myself in it, it was scary!I really think she has found a way to map the human spirit - and gives gentle encouragement and exercises to assist in healing any parts that have beenblocked or damaged.Anyone who is even mildly interested in the Chakras(or even looking to deepen a yoga experience) should consider this book. ...

Very Beneficial
I worked with the exercises in this book alongside traditional psychotherapy recently, and my therapist was suprised how much progress I quickly made. This workbook gives another aproach to mental health that is spiritually aligned, whatever your religious or spiritual background. The exercises are interesting, useful, and very relevant to what the rest of the book teaches. The authors give many different tactics to approach a problem, which I found useful, and their explanations of the chakra system was consitant with other texts I have read. They arrange things easily and plainly, without over-complicating the subject. This book provides a great reference that I've used again and again, and as a workbook, it allows you to use it directly in your life. The yoga stuff in the book could have been improved--I'm not familiar with Yoga and found it hard to do the physical exercises in the book.

Great Book on Chakras for the Novice
This was among the first books I have read on the Chakra system that gets straight to "the point" and offers practical exercises for achieving results as it relates to the activation and management of Chakra points. However, with that said, this book omits all but the most essential "background" information about the various Charkras themselves. It is perhaps best studied along with another book with more information (Anodea Judith's other book, WHEELS OF LIFE, for example). Since you're likely to obtain results here, you want a better idea of what you are getting into than this book alone will provide! New Age, New Age, New Age. . .
I began to read this book and put it away thinking that I was having a bad day and was not open and receptive. A few weeks later I picked it up again and continued to read it hoping that I might be open to its message. Again, I was not impressed on my second attempt although I felt a bit more open than on my first reading. I am not an expert in chakras but I am doing a good deal of reading in the subject lately. What I am learning is that chakras in the west are predominately cloaked in "New Age rhetoric" and chakras from the east (India, Vedic, Yoga) are centered in reality, not real (tangible), but real (cultural). If you are comfortable in the "New Age", then this book is for you. You will find the terminology and phrases right in line with typical "New Age" subject matter. If you are looking for a real (cultural) definition and or therapy you might want to look elsewhere. Chakras are subtle energy pathways that are an intricate part of Yoga practice (Yoga in its entirety).Read more

A MUST BOOK FOR YR METAPHYSICAL LIBRARY
This book is incredible.Barbara Marciniak's channelled books are all amazing, the first one I read years ago was Bringers of the Dawn and that was incredible.Her latest book is a must for your metaphysical library it is very clear clean and direct and I feel that everyone should read this including all the politicians etc. We have been living a lie and it is time that we woke up to the illusions of our creations and to truly understand energy and how we create our realities and that we can all be together as one in peace and harmony.To do this you need to be AWARE - aware of self.As Rajneesh said Witness the witness, witnessing.

Excellent book!!!!
I Have read all the books that Barbara Marciniak has written and I love them all!!! But this one is the best!!! It is easy to understand in terms of the evolution our planet and ourselves are going through...and how to create our reality !!!!! If you really want to change your life, I highly recomend this book!!!!

WOW ! I was blown away by this book - Open Mind Required ! A MUST READ
I have read all of Barbara's books in this series.

Editorial Review

Renowned psychic Echo Bodine speaks to the life and afterlife of the soul. In the beginning, Bodine addresses life in heaven, shedding her psychic gleanings on the different "levels" of the soul, starting with level one ("totally self-absorbed") through level five (those who "understand the oneness with all of creation and with God"). From here Bodine enters into discussions on the soul's being sent to earth for birth, or "going back to school." Life is considered "the school on earth." And death is our "graduation." Bodine also speaks to the more familiar experiences of "soul travel" (a.k.a. "out-of-body experiences") and the disassociated and depressed state of "soul loss" (which, she believes, is reparable).Read more

This Book Helped me Find Peace
After reading this book I found peace with my life and my faith.I have been going through alot the past few years and was finding it hard to cope with... now I feel nothing but peace with my struggle.If you are open to the ideas of reincarnation, life after death, angels and a nonjudgemental God... then this book can help you to deal with loss, life and death.A great read!

IT IS WITHIN ALL OF US TO KNOW THE TRUTH. . . . . AND THIS BOOK ISNT IT
Knowing Gods word and that he changes not for our sakes I really really felt that this book at some point can be very misleading against Gods word even against Jesus teachings and instructions which he laid for us all saved or not yet as of saved Jesus love teaches that God loves everyone and that he pleads with us to come to him with our problems and give him our short comings and ask him for forgiveness when we sin against our own souls and against the father however this book Echoes of the souls states that if you don't get it right the first time in this life then guess what you can take care of it in the next life time as if God has granted us not just 9 lives but several which is totally against Gods word the Bible Say's that it has been appointed once for man to die. THE FATHER also lets thoes who hear his voice and even those who disobey his voice know right off that he sends false Prophets / Psychicsto test our love and loyalty to him please read Deuteronomy 13.( I AM NOT CALLING THE WRITTER A FALSE ANYTHING I JUST DO NOT AGREE WITH THE THINGS SHE WROTE) The Bible also says to test the spirit weather if it is actually from God or Not,
Echo Bodine has a true gift!
This book was like a confirmation of everything that I had ever imagined to be true! It was like reading a complete list of my own thoughts and ideas about life after death. I think that echo is truly gifted, and she writes in such a concise and well thought out way as to make everything easily understandable. ... Read more

Saved my life
Before I read this book, my chakras were TOTALLY screwy. Now it is SMOOTH SAILING. Using this book as a reference, I made a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that aligned EACH of my chakras with its own UNIQUE crystal, aroma, and guided meditation. Then I ran a linear optimizer (using Tools>Goal Seek... in Excel) which was designed to MAXIMIZE my yogic harmonies whilst MINIMIZING my karmic/vedic interferences.
Outstanding introduction to the human energy system
Although in harmony with the yogic concepts of the chakra system, this book outlines a mainly Western approach. There is emphasis on enabling the reader to have direct experience of the chakras and of the energy flow in the body. For each energy center (which is what the chakras are) there is an inspiring case history from the author's healing practice, a discussion of the psychological impact and developmental age associated with it and of the relationship of that chakra to the physical body, advice for fragrances, colors and crystals useful in working with it, and a guided meditation. Each chapter closes with an affirmation relating to the issues surrounding that particular chakra. Interestingly, she includes chapters about newly emerging energy centers outside of the traditional seven chakras.

Best chakra book I've read
This is by far the best chakra book I have read.She not only goes into detail about how each chakra effects you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, but it's filled with exercises.Being an intuitive empath, my favorite exercises are tuning down your chakra exercises to keep negative influences from affecting you.I do that every morning after doing Doreen Virtue's chakra clearing exercise and I feel fantastic all day, but if not, I feel lousy.

Airy- fairy yet negative
Vague, airy-fairy descriptions of the chakras are combined with a decisive, my-spiritual-path-is-THE-spiritual-path primer on the basics of spirituality.At one point the author describes "wise, ancient spirits" who are suffering very painful lessons so that they can be closer to God.Do you really want to take spiritual healing advice from someone who projects her own punishment agenda onto the divine (and you!) and glorifies suffering.Check out Karla McLaren's "Your Aura & Your Chakras."Like all authors, she has her own issues to work out, but the information is presented in a much clearer, much more neutral fashion.

A Must Read
This is a must read for anyone wanting to know more about the Chakras and how they can change your life. I loved this book so much that I'm going to go out and buy 5 more to give as gifts.

Valuable guide and reference work
The energy vortices or charkas are located within the cerebrospinal system and are the points of interaction between the spirit and the body. Each of the 7 main charkas is also connected to certain glands in the body and therefore has a role in the hormonal system. Very Confusing
Why Not? A Chakra guide
This book introduces the reader to the system of energy - nadi & chakra - in our body as described in the ancient Indian tantric scriptures. Each major chakra in our body/mind system is described in detail, includingthe powers of the chakra and accompamying sounds (beeja mantra) toharmonise the chakra. By following these, the reader can start working ontheir chakras and improve their wellbeing.Read more

A good psychological view of the chakras
This book is excellent for those who would like a more psychological view of the chakras. In this way, it is an excellent reference book for Spiritual Counselors, Licensed therapists who want to add a more spiritual approach to their practice or any other counseling profession. It can also greatly assist those who need help in their own lives and would like to heal by working with their chakras. The author explains the chakras through archetypical patterns which may sound intimidating to some but it is easy reading and everyone will be able to relate to the characteristics presented, either by recognizing it in themselves or the people in their lives.
Chakras and Their Archetypes: Uniting Energy Awareness and Spiritual Growth
Excellent book! Thank you Ambika for this masterpiece!

I would give it more stars if I could!
This book is very inspiring, a must read for those trying to find themselves and are on a spiritual journey. This book will help you see yourself in all different aspects of your personality, and when you can identify your feelings, you know how to handle the stiuation. She gives meditation stategies for each archetype, which are very helpful. This is one of my best spiritual books that I own, and I own many. Once again, A MUST READ! ... Read more
