New Chakra Healing: Activate Your 32 Energy Centers

I am a Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master and have been working with Chakras for many years. I was surprised and delighted to read New Chakra Healing and discover that many of the same areas I was feeling a great deal of energy over were actually chakras. Cyndi Dale is a wonderful writer, giving you lots of technical information in an easy to understand way. The pictures are great too. I highly recommend this book to any energy worker, even if you think you already know all about chakras. You may be surprised.

Cyndi Dale presents a book that deals with Chakras that I have yet to see dublicated. This is a book that emerged from her after years of therapy she performed on countless people she helped. Years of experience are packed neatly into this comprehensive book, and you don't need a college degree to understand it. What I like so much, is that is goes beyond the normal seven recognized chakras to the elusive 32 (33 counting the one that encompasses the whole, which is great because it explains the 33 energies of man from ancient history. Look for the number 33 in many myths and legends of the past). On top of that, she gives you step-by-step on how to use all of them. Of course, this isn't the only way it can be done...this is just her way. You can always take her information and modify it to suit your own needs.If you want to be a healer (maybe you already are?), or you want to understand your own personal energy system on a much higher level...this is the book for you.

This book is chock-full of information on chakras and auras. The author speaks authoritatively, in a voice intended for the average person who may not be used to this approach to dealing with problems or illnesses. She is very well-spoken and convincing. Useful diagrams illustrate the text. It is not vague and flowery but direct and informative. It's interesting to read, and also a handy reference to keep around. I've worked with these energy systems for many years on myself and others and this is a book I regard highly. Many practitioners have different ideas about the number, appearance and locations of these ancient energy systems, so I cannot say whether it is the definitive work or not, but I do find the information in this book to bear out in my own experience. I've used it to help myself and others on issues relating to health, relationships and work, with wonderful results.

Chakras are energy centers that "regulate, maintain, and manage the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of our being on the physical plane." Seven physical chakras have been recognized for thousands of years. Cyndi Dale, who provides intuitive-based consulting and life issue counseling, has "perceived thirty-two energy centers upon which the holistic human is based." She describes these centers in New Chakra Healing: The Revolutionary 32-Center Energy System, and teaches readers how to work with the healing energy of all the chakras. Dale says that twelve of the chakras exist as part of the physical body and twenty exist only on the spiritual plane, as "higher spiritual centers." She believes that "understanding the nature of these energy centers is critical to understanding ourselves, our truths, our purposes." She completely describes the location, description, kind of energy provided, communication style, and problems of the twelve physical chakras. She then discusses the purpose, functions, energy forms, communication process, and problems of the twenty spiritual energy centers. She provides exercises designed to help readers access and work with all thirty-two energy centers. Dale also describes how different chakras control different stages of the life cycle, from pre-conception to death. She explains how to look for developmental blocks and truths, which are "either the opposite of or a reflection of the misperceptions causing us difficulty." Understanding blocks and truths lead to healing. Examples from the thousands of clients she has assisted clarify her explanations. Dale says the ultimate purpose of New Chakra Healing is to "enable you to comprehend just how important you are to humanity and to a Divine Source. By knowing yourself, you can move forward, get to know other people, and open yourself to the path of purpose which is yours, and yours alone."

I have read this book cover to cover and find that it is just the definitive book to read about chakras. After practising some of the techniques and working with the chakras as the author suggests, I have had success with realizing life problems and past life problems that were holding me back. It's a great book, and everyone should read it.
