Chakra Wisdom Oracle Cards: The Complete Spiritual Toolkit for Transforming Your Life
Each original card connects with a major chakra and represents one of the mystical fables revealed by angels to psychic Tori Hartman following a near-death experience. It is a brilliant blend of all-inclusive spiritual values with Eastern esotericism into a powerful device for meditation and transformation. Each poignant and thought-provoking story will give you the feeling of a long lost treasure – uncovered truths just for the reader.” Mark Victor Hansen, Co-creator of The New York Times Best-selling Series, Chicken Soup for the Soul “Color is the energy vibration of the Universe.

"Often we experience reality in ways that are uncomfortable or ‘not working’ right because we have energetic blockages (like in our chakras) or limiting beliefs. And the Chakra Wisdom Oracle doesn’t leave you hanging on how you can do this: each card comes with a legend, inspiration, personal inquiry, key ideas, keywords and a short meditation. So I asked on my Facebook page if anyone would like either a love or wealth intention reading (from the spreads at the back of the book) so I could test drive the oracle. So what did my Chakra Wisdom Oracle card guinea pig, the lovely Carol, have to say? The Chakra Wisdom Oracle cards are perfect if you want to really make changes in your life and are willing to work on blockages and beliefs."
"I was immediately intrigued and read all the reviews which indicated that these cards are fairly new on the scene. The complex depth of what each chakra stands for and holds is so simply and thoroughly acknowledged through the Legends, keywords, inspirations and meditations given for each card of each chakra. The packaging is also great though I agree with one other reviewer who said that the stack of cards, which 'nest' in a cut out area of the box, slip under the frame of the cut out, so like her, I tied my cards (with a gold elastic band) to keep them from slipping under the frame. I highly recommend these cards- without a doubt, they can help define, guide and analyze our state of mind and being."
"My favorite part is the different color cards and how it is all is explained very well. The set up is like a book you can read by each "chapter" but also can be a quick summary and reference guide."
"Good size, quality cards."
"I know art is subjective, but I like folk style art and even so these drawings are weak and elementary looking. For example "prayer" goes along with an image of a glass of lemonade on top of a table which overlooks high-rise city buildings and "Passion" is illustrated by a Disney-looking princess serving an elderly woman(???)."

Eastern Body, Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System As a Path to the Self
In Eastern Body, Western Mind , chakra authority Anodea Judith brought a fresh approach to the yoga-based Eastern chakra system, adapting it to the Western framework of Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, childhood developmental theory, and metaphysics. * Revised edition of the groundbreaking New Age book that seamlessly integrates Western psychology and the Eastern chakra system, including a new introduction from the author.
Reviews
"As I am a realist and an empiricist, this book appealed to me because it dives deep into the connections of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy. It is a generally accepted fact that roughly 85% of Americans grow up in a dysfunctional family with experiences of abuse or neglect, which means that this book applies to 85% of you who are reading this post. If your patterns aren't working for you and you keep finding that you often make the same life mistakes that leave you unhappy, unfulfilled and starting over, it definitely warrants a deeper look into personal healing. Even with my advanced educational level and ability to comprehend complex subject matter, I found it to be a challenging read because is it not a passive activity. The content is so tightly packed and so powerfully written that I found I had to take a lot of time after reading each chapter to digest the information, considering how it might apply to my life experiences and traumas as I moved towards recovery. I have traversed through the depths of massive multiple traumas and grief, emerging from what seemed to be an endless tunnel of dark emotional pain, into a new light of being and a healthier way of living. It is my greatest hope that others in the world read this book and find their own way of healing and transforming; moving from darkness into the light and sadness into the happiness of enlightened living in a purposeful way."
"Highly recommend Eastern Body Western Mind!"
"Nice bedside table to pick up and read a bit at a time, then ponder."
"Very in depth and well written from an expert on the chakras."
"Our group loved this book."
"This book contains so much information and is so well written that it can't be read quickly."
"Overall good read and nice stepping stone into more psychology driven texts about yoga or chakras."

Streams in the Desert: 366 Daily Devotional Readings
In this updated edition, however, editor Jim Reimann lovingly combines contemporary wording and precise NIV text to help introduce a whole new generation of believers to the timeless messages of God’s faithfulness.
Reviews
"Even tho the book was compiled several years ago it is still very relevant for today and helps me view situations from God's perspective and not mine."
"Every year I have gotten new insights into God’s Word and has helped me grow into the man that intended for me."
"Wonderful, wonderful devotional book."
"While she is glad to have it on her Nook, she really is enjoying having a paper copy to hold in her hands."
"Encouragement twice a day every day of the year."
"This review is referring to the Kindle edition of Streams in the Desert, with this ASIN #:B00295RD4A, published by WORDsearch, May 8, 2009...it's the most expensive of the three editions currently offered on Amazon, but if you (like me) love the hardcover edition with a maroon cover published by Zondervan, copyright 1996 (and still avail. (This paragraph is just for people who want to compare the Kindle editions:) I know the cover shot on this page looks different than that Zondervan hardcover edition, but it's the same inside, trust me...and since the hardcover version says it was "edited by James Reimann", I don't know why this Kindle/WORDsearch edition doesn't mention his name anywhere...all I can think is that maybe the hardcover edition really _wasn't_ the "Reimann edition" after all...because the other two Kindle editions currently offered are noticeably different in wording (compare all three free samples, to check that for yourself), so they must be the Reimann-edits...but this is giving me a headache, so on with the review! At first, I thought I'd have to scroll through the month, page-by-page, to get to whatever day I wanted to read, but no...once you've opened to any particular month or date page, from the Menu button select "Search This Book", and just type in the month and date (e.g., "may 13" - no quotes; all lower case is fine); then toggle right, and click "find"."
"I highly recommend it, If you sincerely want to grow spiritually and are willing to face your own attitudes, cherished ideas and prejudices head on."
"This was a gift for my wife and she was thrilled - the book is like new and was delivered as advertised."

Best Hindu Sutras

The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali: A New Edition, Translation, and Commentary
Each sutra is presented as Sanskrit text, transliteration, and precise English translation, and is followed by Bryant's authoritative commentary, which is grounded in the classical understanding of yoga and conveys the meaning and depth of the su-tras in a user-friendly manner for a Western readership without compromising scholarly rigor or traditional authenticity. His book will surely be welcomed by both serious scholars and responsible practitioners.” ― Gerald James Larson, Rabindranath Tagore Professor Emeritus of Indian Cultures and Civilizations, Indiana University, Bloomington, and Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara. His book is a well-rounded and inspiriting course on the real connections between ideas, practices, and direct experience. “Edwin Bryant unpacks the layers of history and traditional commentaries that are in the suitcase of the Yoga Sutras . Understanding that all religious books operate in the context of lived communities, Bryant suggests that the worship of Vishnu as taught by Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita has played an important role in how the practice of yoga has been understood and communicated, particularly for the past five hundred years. “What I like about Edwin Bryant's edition is that it serves as a concordance of commentaries, a commentary on the commentaries without which this text (or any other compendium of sutras) is unintelligible.
Reviews
"Arrived in perfect condition; terrific new translation!"
"It's easy enough for the novice and is full of commentary and history for those who want to dive in."
"I have read more than a couple of books on yoga sutras , I was searching for another good commentary and I found this."
"This is a beautifully written book which explain Patanjali's Yoga Sutras lucidly and also discusses subjects around it in a scholarly but interesting way."
"Prof. Bryant's comprehensive knowledge of Indian philosophy, fidelity to the intent of the text (without the usual filtering to suit various Western prejudices and agendas) and passionate fondness for this material lift this version far above any others."
"Interesting and understandable."
"I have studied these in a variety of ways, and this book is excellent."

Best Gandhi

Gandhi: An Autobiography - The Story of My Experiments With Truth
Mohandas K. Gandhi is one of the most inspiring figures of our time. Gandhi's nonviolent struggles in South Africa and India had already brought him to such a level of notoriety, adulation, and controversy that when asked to write an autobiography midway through his career, he took it as an opportunity to explain himself. Although Gandhi presents his episodes chronologically, he happily leaves wide gaps, such as the entire satyagraha struggle in South Africa, for which he refers the reader to another of his books.
Reviews
"Very enlightening if read to the end."
"Excellent literature and grammar."
"The only thing that was disappointing is that I wish he had described his work in India more in this book."
"On reading My experiment with truth, one can see how much importance Gandiji has given for truthfulness, Ahimsa, equality, fighting to remove social evil, etc."
"I'm not qualified to comment on how representative this is of Gandhi's thought & life, nor how accurate it is as a history of India's liberation movement."
"The pervasive use of words no longer part of our common language and especially use of terms and names specific to religions and regions generally unfamiliar to us in the West make this a difficult read but still instructive."
"A deep incisive view of a human being trying to live the Dharmic life using the principles of Yama and Niyama."
"However, I found the book a bit tedious & he certainly had some bizarre ideas."
