I was ready to start a journey, an adventure that has me peering into my past, promising to heighten my intuition, and change my life. I have heard about chakra but I just never knew what it all entailed until I opened the pages of this toolkit and from those beginning pages, Tori had everything laid out for me. Tori explains the seven colors of the chakra, what they represent and how they will relate to my thinking in this 52-week journey. She outlines how to use the book with a Monday through Friday timeline before she begins the self-discovery journey with me. She also adds personal reflections about adapting the daily activities to fit my needs so I didn’t feel bad if I had to skip a day or if some days my exercises take longer, this book is all about me, Tori is just my guide. There are no activities on the weekends; Tori’s rational being that this is the time everything I worked on during the week will come together. I didn’t look at the 49 free cards that can help speed-up my progress, they are on her website, and again they’re free. I have been on this journey for three weeks now and my favorite part is the Monday fables. I actually look forward to Monday’s unique fable which doesn’t take that long to read but it sets the stage for what I am supposed to be thinking about for the week. There have been times when I get busy and I don’t get to one of the other days of the week and that’s okay, I don’t fret over it, I just pick it up the next day or I do double the day before. It’s a journey, something that is supposed to be comforting and enlightening to me. The other days of the week I do a day of journaling, a day of connecting the theme to other people, a day of mediation and a day reflection. Some of the activities, I have struggled with but I have tried them knowing that this is journey, some days I will not know what to do. Tori’s does not leave me hanging; she is there with her words and her ideas to keep me focused and moving me forward. I was hesitant at first, I had no idea what I was getting myself into, and I just knew I wanted to try chakra and I didn’t want to go to some classes as I knew the minute I walked out the door I would forget everything the instructor said. Having this book gives me something to have and to look back upon. I like having it on my Kindle so I can open it daily for as little as 10 minutes a day for my own time, keeping it in my “daily” tab is a constant reminder that I need to do it. I will be buying a copy of this book. It is a wonderful tool!
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley and Watkins Publishing.
