Myss explores and explains the chakras, drawing parallels to the 7 Sacraments. This is an excellent resource for anyone commited to healing themselves. Highly recommended as a read-through and as a continuing resource. ( )

i could rave forever about this book. the author is a medical intuitive (someone who can read someone's energy and determine their illness). she explores seven sacred truths and how each truth is related to a specific chakra, sacrament and tree of life. it was really interesting the way she weaves all of the spiritual information from different traditions to distill universal truths. the case histories were astounding. the first part of the book she gives her history, how she discovered her gift and the journey she has taken from the early days to the present. then each chapter focuses on one chakra. she delves deeply into the energy of each chakra and how it relates to its corresponding sacrament/tree of life and at the end of each chapter are self-examination questions. it was such an enlightening and life-changing book. she says our biography is our biology and we can't separate our spirits from our bodies or from our experiences. every experience, thought, emotion is stored in our energy, in our spirit and can create blocks, which are the source of our illnesses and dis-ease.

this book is a successful call for awakening, since more often than not healers cannot teach and teachers cannot heal.

This is a must read for anyone interested in spirituality, the chakras, energy healing. Catherine Myss is a mystic, a medical intuitive and an entertaining writer. She opens up a fascinating view of the energetic information stored in the different chakras and how we move through various stages of personal growth. I have read this book several times. It's also great to listen to her CD series "Energy Anatomy" which is based on the principles of this book. ( )

Fascinating, well-researched, and elegantly written. ( )
