★☆☆☆☆
Initially thought this book was good, but...
When I first got this book, I knew nothing about chakras and I was very excited to learn and expand my spiritual practice. However, after doing my own research outside of this book and talking to multiple spiritual/witchy people, I came to find out that chakras are part of a CLOSED PRACTICE and that the teachings of chakras often found in books like this one preach a watered-down, Westernized version of what chakras actually are. The majority of people who write these books don't practice any of the religions real chakras are used in (Buddhism, Hinduism). PLEASE do not buy books that are not written by those practicing the religions that use chakras, it is culturally appropriative and insulting to Eastern spirituality/religion/culture. That being said, if you are still looking to incorporate energy centers into your practice, I would opt for books that explicitly use the scientific terms for these centers/energy centers/energy points to explain. These books are often more in-depth and give you some science behind energy centers anyway.
