Experience Yoga Nidra: Guided deep relaxation

Book Description

Two genuine relaxation methods from the Nyasa Tantra, 20 minutes and 45 minutes - and a piece of music. 20 page information booklet included.

Experience Yoga Nidra.......2007-10-03

Excellent Yoga Nidra experiences. Swami J has an especially gentle and soothing voice, ideal for deep relaxation. Different from other Yoga NIdra CD's, this one has a musical background which is a really nice touch that helps take you into an even deeper experience of Yoga Nidra. There is also a track of music for an experience of Nada Yoga, or the yoga of sound.

Scandinavian Yogi???.......2007-09-26

I ordered this CD based on all the glowing reviews it received. Maybe I missed the part about this guy being Scandinavian. (I'm sorry, I already listed and sold the CD, so I can't tell you from which country Swami Saraswati originates). I found his accent so off-putting that I could not really get into the relaxation. I also found the cows "mooing" in the background a kind of bizarre reference when trying to induce a state of deep relaxation. Actually, I don't think I realized what Yoga Nidra was. Even when reading the enclosed booklet, I was more taken with the implied promise of positive creation than in obtaining near sleep.

If one is not bothered by Scandinavian accents and pastoral backgound noises, I'm sure this would work for relaxation. However it is NOT meditation, at least not in any sense of which I'm aware.

fantastic practice.......2007-09-20

I have had this tape for about 7 years and used it on and off. I cannot say enough good things about it. It is deeply relaxing and rejuvenating at the same time. You are supposed to stay awake, but I always drift in and out of consciousness, which is fine with me because I always feel fantastic later.
If you want to learn more or "go deeper" as the yoga people say, get Yoga Nidra by the Bihar School. It is very comprehensive and balanced-not a my way or the highway attitude.

More a kind of fantasy journey than yoga nidra.......2007-08-27

Yoga nidra means yogic sleep, a state of mind where you are in a deep sleep state and at the same time awake and aware that you are sleeping. With all due respects to Janakananda I don't think he accomplies this on his CD.

According to Swami Rama, and I consider him a far more experienced and advanced yogi, the real yoga nidra requires concentration on the heart center after some 'warm-up' excercises', because the heart center is the center of deep (dreamless) sleep. And it requires quietness around you. Something that's not on this socalled yoga nidra where the voice speaks all the time, and when the concentrationpoint is on a postulated "golden egg" in the middle of the brain.

I have done this excercise many times over the years, and I have to say I've come to find it a rather confusing mixture of genuine yoga nidra related practises like mentally contacting various parts of the body, and working with the seed mantras traditionally associalted with the chakras in yoga and tantra on the one hand. And on the other hand some fantasy journeys, walking in a wood, contacting different animals etc. that has absolutely nothing to do you with yoga, and come from a totally different tradition.

In true yoga nidra you give yourself up and let things happen spontaneously, while Janakananda forces and manipulates you in to feeling this golden egg, something that has nothing to do with genuine meditation, that is always a state beyond the verbal mind.

The best about this CD is Roop Vermas beautiful music.

It's certainly moving to read the many happy accounts of people thoroughly enjoying this CD, but if you really want to dig deep into this fascinating field, Janakananda is not the right place for you.

wish they had six stars..........2007-07-14

so I can really highlight this CD. I am very happy with my purchase. Being the obsessive researcher/googler, I read and studied for about a week before deciding to get this particular CD. I went to sites selling self-hypnosis and self-help, listened to samples, British gurus, yogis... in the end my dilemma was, do I seek higher enlightment (or at least a good relaxation) or do I try to awaken that awesome potential inside me, and make millions, and reach my full potential, and... I actually asked my husband which path would he take, and, oddly enough, he balked at the millions. What I mean to say is, peace and relaxation are more valuable, and that is exactly what you get with this tape. It is not boring in the least, there is no music, but there is a very good sound background, and I look forward to doing it every day. My 10-year old does it with me, and is soothes her too. (she is a patient child, don't know how would other kids do.) The speaker has a Danish accent, and at first I thought oh, great, I am going to start laughing in the middle of my relaxation, but you get used to it, and it becomes part of the experience. For those with higher aspirations and a yoga/philosophical bent, the CD leaflet instructs you to envision something you would like to occur in the future, and use that in the guided imagery. Well, I am doing it, and, kinda spooky, it might be working. I will have to post later if that really works, but I don't know if I would really go on record promoting reality-altering programs. Well, it's a great CD, and my heart problems have subsided, most likely because of the reduction in stress. Can't recommend it highly enough.

This kit is wonderful and it forces you to do the work without skipping ahead, which is one of my tendencies. I have not yet finished all of the exercises, but the first exercise is incredible in helping you to get centered.

CHAKRAS - BEST overview.......2007-07-08

Chakra Balancing Kit is a follow up to Anodea Judith's "Wheels of Life" (which is a huge book but the definitive guide to chakras). This serves as an excellent introduction to learning about chakras, or serves as a refining of one's advanced understanding of chakras. Has chakra cards, photo illustrated book of balancing exercises, 2 CDs - one CD explains what chakras are, the colors and meaning attached to each chakra; the second disc explains balancing chakras. Saved it to my Ipod and computer for working out, meditating, taking a break, driving in car, etc. ONLY PROBLEM: Her pronunciation drives me crazy - "CHAKras" - not the soft "shakras" as most people say, and the Indians say (where this sciece began its evolution). Her voice is nice, her pronunciation disconcerting. Overall the kit is excellent and I am enjoying it, and giving it as gifts to persons who don't know what a chakra is.

Gloriously beautiful.......2007-03-13

This set is gorgeous from the box to the visuals it enables within the mind. I highly recommend it.

The best workbook!.......2007-02-19

I keep the workbook in my night stand and refer to it frequently. I've read other chakra books but by far this is the best. It contains a lot of good information about the chakras but what I love most are the physical exercises. I feel completely rejuvenated after performing them. Each chakra has its own chapter detailing the characteristics, suggestions for deepening your connection, psychological issues and activities for healing and balancing. It is well laid out and is spiral bound so it lays flat which makes it easy to refer to while doing the exercises.

Imaginative Exploration.......2006-06-10

Listen to the salutation to the dawn,
Look to this day for it is life, the very life of life,
In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of our existence.
The bliss of growth, the splendor of beauty,
For yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well spent makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day.
Such is the salutation to the dawn.
~Sanskrit Salutation to the Dawn

With a workbook and guided visualizations, Chakra Balancing becomes a healing practice that incorporates sun salutations from Yoga and inner journeys filled with moments for imaginative exploration.

Includes:

Workbook
Two Audio CDs
Chakra Cards

The first CD guides you through the Chakras and explains the function of each charka and explores the charka system as a whole. The second CD has Morning and Evening Practices that include flowing yoga movements. Guided meditations help you fall into a deep sleep and the guided exercises help you meet the dawn.

The workbook guides you through more details like lists of excessive, deficient and balanced characteristics. You are always moving towards physical health, comfort, stability and presence and away from excess, fear, anxiety, disconnection and restlessness.

"The sixth charka opens to the archetypal realm. Archetypes are like blueprints from spirit imprinted on the psyche. They represent major categories of manifestation, the original patterns from which things are made. Archetypal energies often run our lives, consciously or unconsciously." ~ pg. 68

Chakra Balancing beautiful journey through the Chakras that is easy to understand and apply to daily life. It only took me one experience with Yoga and Chakra Balancing to become a believer. This truly does work and by wandering about in your inner world, you disconnect from stress and release into a world that seems a dream. For moments at a time you are blissful, in a space of almost illuminated peace.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CHAKRA SYSTEM?

Many people focus on a single chakra - like the Crown Chakra for Spirituality, the Brow Chakra for Psychic Powers, the Heart Chakra for Universal Love, the Solar Plexus for Power (especially for those into the martial arts) and so on - each chakra's special attribute. And some people try to repress the 'lower' chakras as morally bad. BUT the real importance is to understand the chakras as The Energy System of the entire Mind/Body/Spirit Complex.

WHEELS OF LIFE presents the Chakra System as a Formula for Wholeness and a Template for Transformation - actually a Map for the Journey through Life

At the inner core of each one of us spin seven wheel-like energy centers called chakras. Swirling intersections of vital life forces, each chakra reflects an aspect of consciousness essential to our lives. Together the seven chakras form a system of modeling that consciousness that enables us to better see ourselves - in mind, body, behavior and culture. This system is a valuable tool for personal and planetary growth.

Chakras are centers of activity for the reception, assimilation and transmission of life energies. As all our action and understanding arise from and return to points within ourselves, our chakras, as core centers form the coordinating network of our complicated mind/body system. . . . The chakras are the master programs that govern our life, loves, learning and illumination. Like a rainbow bridge, they form the connecting channel between mind and body, spirit and matter, past and future, Heaven and Earth. As we spin through the tumultuous times of our present era, the chakras are the gears that turn the spiral of evolution, drawing our attention toward the still untapped frontiers of consciousness and its infinite potential. (from Chapter One)

Wheels of Life is a system about a system - journeying the reader through the seven major chakras with theory, example, practical application and experiential exercises to accomplish the great work of personal transformation. Each consciousness is a unit in the evolutionary process moving us from what we are to what we can become, and through that process we realize ourselves as magicians, healers and visionaries.

Wheels of Life takes us through each chakra to fulfill its potentials and then transforms and makes us whole.

The journey is taken step-by-step, with each step bringing practical advantages in the development of inherent skills and abilities to meet the increasingly critical challenges of life in our times. Your life is filled with meaning and purpose. Its destiny is Enlightenment. Now, you must take the first step.

I have been using this book as a learning tool in a class that is designed to help me with aligning my Chakra's. I am impressed with the various tools such as exercises, stretching and information. It is full of flowing information and each Chakra lesson fits nicely in with all of the others. My teacher has used this book for many years and hers is full of marked pages. I hope mine will be as lovingly used as I continue with learning about my Chakras.

It has all the basics, but also much more. This is a great book to help you establish a chakra balancing practice. These are tools you can use throughout your life to help you keep balanced even in times of disaster and suffering.

For readers who seek a straightforward guidebook on learning about the chakra system and how to keep it healthy, this is an excellent resource. Virtue, who is a bestselling author (Messages From Your Angels, Healing With the Angels) and clairvoyant doctor of psychology, identifies the placements and functions of these "energy centers" in the body. She then teaches readers how to keep these chakras clear and clean, leading to greater health and energy.

The chakras themselves are a beautiful progression of shifting colors, starting with the red root chakra at the base of the spine and moving up the body, shade-by-shade, and ending with the royal purple "crown" chakra at the top of the head. Each chakra interacts with a person's issues and concerns in the world. For instance, the root chakra relates to basic survival, such as money, shelter, and material needs, according to Virtue. If a person feels stable in this arena, the "root chakra looks like a brilliant ruby held under a spotlight," she explains. However, if people feel fearful about money or become overly obsessed with their career or possessions, this chakra will be come "dirty" and have a muddy, dark red color.

Virtue offers an extensive assortment of original, guided meditations that are effective in cleaning and clearing all the chakras. The information is well organized and clearly presented with a corresponding CD to help readers integrate the meditations into daily life. She also touches upon other cleaning tools, such as what foods and crystals support the chakra system. Advanced energy workers may find this material basic, but beginners should find it an outstanding primer. --Gail Hudson

Book Description

When you clear away negative energy residues from fear and worry, your natural spiritual power awakens. This innate power allows you to know the future; freely communicate with God and the angels; and heal yourself, others, and the planet. In Chakra Clearing, Doreen Virtue guides you through meditations and visualizations to clear your chakras, which activates your inborn healing and psychic abilities.

Enclosed you’ll also find a meditative CD that complements the material in the book. The CD starts with a morning meditation designed to begin your day with a bright, positive energy frequency and surround you with healing light. The relaxing evening meditation that follows clears away energy that you may have absorbed during the day, and invites angels to enter your dreams and give you divine messages.

âThis book and CD will help you understand the functions of the major chakras,
and esoteric methods for clearing them of fear. Your natural state is one of high energy,
intuition, and creativity. You don’t need to add anything to yourself to enjoy
these characteristicsâyou already own them within yourself. Just like a sculptor needs to
chip away the parts of the statue that aren’t part of the ultimate creation, you only
need to clear away fear to reveal your innate qualities.ââ Doreen Virtue

Ok For Very Basic Intro.......2007-10-07

Having listened to this CD I was not impressed at all. Doreens voice is very monotone and the sound track just ok. I became uneasy listening to this meditation after one listen.
May I strongly suggest Colette Baron Reids CD "Journey Through The Chakras".
I have found no chakra CD even remotely as superb.
Colettes voice is angelic and after many weeks of listening I still find her refreshing. The sound track is heavenly and deeply moving.
Her website has many meditations free for listening.
You will NOT be disappointed.
I guarantee that you will be fulfilled.

Chakra Clearing - helpful for meditating .......2007-05-13

Chakra Clearing was recommended to me to help balance my chakras. I knew I needed to meditate more and was told this CD and book would help. It was more amazing than I expected. It put me in a frame of mind to just let all negative thoughts and feelings melt away. The affirmations are powerful and gave me a sense of total well-being.

Great for beginners, not for advanced.......2007-03-07

Before purchasing this book, I knew absolutely nothing about chakras, yet I had heard about them and wanted to learn about them at a very basic level to start with. Having heard of this book, I read other reviews on Amazon, but still had mixed feelings.

So, later on that day, I went to a bookstore and looked at several different books about chakras. Definitely, there were many that were much more in depth than this one, but even though they were basic in a sense, they were still too advanced for what I was looking for. So, I bought the little paperback version of this book without the CD, and to my delight, it was exactly what I was looking for.

This book covers anything basic that you would need to know about chakras. The small book also helps if you do not have a great amount of time to read a longer book but would like to learn about chakras.

Like I said before, this book is very small and basic, so if you are anything much more than a beginner in this field, I would not invest in this book as you'll need something that goes a bit more in depth (sorry, I don't have any specific recommendations). I can certainly see how those who are advanced would see this book as being worth fewer stars than a beginner would.

As for beginners like me, this book was great and has opened my interest to this subject. Once summer rolls around, I'll most likely pick up a longer book on the subject.

It works but it has some strange welcome sideffects.......2007-01-11

If I remember correctly it was about 4 years ago when I found a book about Doreen Virtue in a bookstore that brings only English books. After I read that book I ordered her tape Chakra Clearing. And as the tape advised I started using it morning and night before going to bed. It was unsual for me to stay on the same routine for such a long period of time as I did for that, I kept doing this for about 21 days more or less. I should say also that a few months earlier I had begun attending a group that once a month met to go through meditation to the 5th dimension to the Archangels and Angels, as Mrs Maria Zavou the lady that taught these trips said. So after doing this routine with Doreen's tape and some of the time while doing it, I fell asleep. But it seems that this worked
despite that. And one day I felt that my third eye had opened I was starting to see there were we had been going with Maria Zavou (her site is www.angels.gr) and I saw some very strange and interesting things. And my life was different after that. I had more questions than ever and since then I have done a lot of searching. Of course I was enthusiastic about Doreen Virtue's tape I lent it to other people in my group and expecting the same to happen to them. But they all told me they didn't have any results, what I found after asking them, was that no one had tried as I had tried to do it for such a long period of time...... not even a week and it all started from the narrowminded perception that this could not possibly happen to them. I was different and that is why it happened to me they didn't believe in their selves and they limited themselves. So later when the book with the dvd came I bought it again in order to have the book and the dvd together. And another thing when I tried to talk to them about Doreen Virtue and her books they said they found them very simple but the truth that they are simple but they work.

Chakra Clearing.......2007-01-06

You need this to align your spirit. To feel refresh and ready to go . It is just vital.To balance and connect with your higher self. I listen to it evey day.To have a positive outlook on life. To smile a bit more.

Book Description

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. This groundbreaking work in transpersonal psychology has been revised and redesigned for a more accessible presentation. Arranged schematically, the book uses the inherent structure of the chakra system as a map upon which to chart our Western understanding of individual development. Each chapter focuses on a single chakra, starting with a description of its characteristics, then exploring its particular childhood developmental patterns, traumas and abuses, and how to heal and maintain balance. Illuminated with personal anecdotes and case studies, EASTERN BODY, WESTERN MIND seamlessly merges the East and West, science and philosophy, and psychology and spirituality into a compelling interpretation of the chakra system and its relevance for Westerners today.

Awesome book!!!.......2007-08-17

This is really helpful and gives you a load of information regarding the energy (chakras) in the body. Great for a bodyworker trained in eastern concepts. I will defintely reach for this book for years to come.

She was and is ahead of her time!.......2007-06-08

This is one of the most comprehensive books I have read on the chakras, energy vibrations, and overall developmental systems. I highly recommend it!

Eastern Body, Western Mind.......2007-02-17

The information in this book literally freed me from the bondage of childhood abuse. This should be required reading in high school. It offers real life assistance in overcoming the damage done to young people by careless, neglectful, and sometimes downright abusive parents, thoughtless teachers, and ignorant peers. Anodea, GOOD WORK!!!!

Fascinating insights.......2007-01-10

Gave me a new way of looking at the physical structure and presentation of myself and others.

Profound - And Needed.......2005-06-16

I have to say, this author knows her stuff.

As I've learned from reading many of her books, she has long had a history of studying the chakra system. Through personal experience, she has adapted some of the esoteric systems with her own style, which are discussed more fully within her books.

This book in particular is an important one. In our culture, we all suffer abuses of some kind or another, even abuses we probably wouldn't consider abuse. Take noise pollution for example - it's a real assault on your senses, although we drown it out and let our body deal with the consequences.

But this book deals with the heavier stuff too - relationship issues, physical or sexual abuse, eating disorders, mental imbalances, whatever it may be, it's probably covered in this book. And what I have noticed is this author really knows what she's talking about - she provides insights I have not heard come from anyone else in my entire life.

I strongly encourage this book to everyone, regardless of who you are. This is a book for humanity.

For true beginners, I'm sure this has value. For anyone who has been doing yoga, the Kabbalah, whatever, for years, this book is old news. Very few exercises are included, and it's too short to help anyone on a more advanced path, IMO.

Very Insightful.......2007-07-12

I really got a lot from reading this book. I helped me connect with, identify, and disperse the energies I had already been feeling.... It is great for those who have never heard of the chakras. I would definitely recommend this book to any mature reader.

Excellent "for beginners" book!.......2007-07-05

This book is simply excellent! It is written in an easy to understand language with some helpfull exercises and lot of notes that you can put in good use practicing yourself! I highly recommed it to any beginner or non-beginner that wishes to know a little bit more about Chakras, their balanced and unbalanced state, how to balance with trivial solutions (this solutions are so simple and plain that it is impossible to imagine that they actually work.. and let me tell that they work!). Short, Simple, and Rich in information is the best description of this Book!

Just the introduction I was looking for!.......2005-11-01

I have practiced yoga regularly for several years now, and this has led to an interest in exploring the chakras, the seven "energy centers" of the body. I was able to obtain some basic information online, but I wanted a book which would provide more details as well as exercises--hopefully incorporating yoga--which would focus on balancing the energy of the chakras. Happily, this book met my needs very well.

After offering an overview of the chakras and the importance of keeping them balance, author David Pond addresses each of the seven chakras individually. In particular, he describes both the balance and unbalanced perspectives of each chakra as well as offers several exercises both for connecting with that chakra and awakening the energy contained within. Some of the exercises do contain suggestions for yoga--i.e., performing tree pose to attain balance--but most of them are more meditative in nature.

In the second half of the book, Pond presents a selection of "Essays," which are basically short chapters (2-3 pages on average) about the relationship between the chakras and other issues, including the ego, vows, negative energy, visualization, and other similar topics. I found this section to be less helpful, as here, Pond's tendency towards new-age thinking (he is an astrologer by profession, after all) became a bit too much for my tastes. However, he concludes the book with additional exercises, meditations, and a chakra chart, all of which I found useful. All-in-all, this is a very nice introductory book about chakras which provides good basic information as well as easy-to-follow meditative exercises.

excellent introduction to chakras.......2005-06-21

I have read many books on chakras, and this one really stands out in its ability to relay concepts with Simplicity and Clarity, which renders them more accessible to most readers. His meditations are pleasant, and I hope he writes more of them for us in the future.

Thank you, David Pond.

Book Description

Wheels of Light explores the seven chakras, or energy centers, of the body with particular focus on the first chakra, which has to do with our basic life force, our physical bodies, and our sexuality.

Drawing on scientific research, Native American culture, the ancient traditions of the Egyptians and Greeks, the philosophies of the Hindus, and the religions of the East, Rosalyn L. Bruyere presents a unique perspective on the value and healing potential of the chakra system.

WHEELS OF LIGHT.......2007-08-01

I was extremely pleased with the content of WHEELS OF LIGHT. I could tell from the start that the author put a lot of thought into every paragraph. Each chakra is historically and metaphysically described. There are helpful exercises for you to do to balance and vitalize the chakras. I especially love the way the author relates chakra "health" to physical and mental health. The illustrations are grand and you'll feel "boned up" on chakras and auras by the time you finish reading this excellent text.

Absolutely insightful.......2007-05-26

When I was younger, I picked up this book at the library but put it back because of its outdated design cover. I recently saw it again at a bookstore, and decided to buy it, and I do not regret it at all! This book was exactly what I was looking for on the chakras-- it's not too textbook-like, and it's written from a humble, intuitive perspective. I just wish that it were longer! Out of all the chakra books I have read, this one by far has taught me the most on energy, vibrations, auras, etc.

Wheels of Light.......2006-08-10

This is an interesting book, but I found it hard to understand.

Truly inspiring!.......2000-01-28

I have read this book numerous times and I learn new things every time. If you're looking for a more peaceful life and intrigued by the power of natural healing. Other great books that I would recommend are; Hands of Light & Creative Visualization. Read with an open mind and enjoy!

A resourceful, insightful introduction to the chakras........1998-01-01

Wheels of Light begins with an introduction to the "mysteries" of the chakras. It reveals the touching story of the Rainbow Warrior who healed and prophesied because he could see the rainbow beyond the rainbow. Color, vibration, and auras are explained in detail. Several chapters unfold the secrets of the chakras in beautiful detail.

Book Description

Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century is the true story of this author's contact with a "dead" physicist colleague, and the telepathic communication that forced him to seek scientific answers to spiritual questions such as these classics: Who are we? Why are we here? Where are we going? For more than a decade, Harper embarked on a spiritual quest of careful reflection and methodical research in "abnormal physics and paranormal psychology," as he says. This headstrong but heartfelt effort would plunge Harper into the depths of despair and then lift him up to the heights of ecstasy over and over again as he produced an inspired synthesis of great ideas of all ages from cream-of-the-crop scientists and spiritualists. In this unique book, Harper offers comfort far from the simplistic optimism of New Age writers through a deep sense of "knowing," and that becomes obvious in the preface itself; yet his truth rings true from the first page to the last one. He never loses sight of his objective either, explaining how the mystical experience of every culture is an initiation into the fifth dimension of the shaman's consciousness. Throughout, Harper summons an astounding array of facts that lend credence to his seminal vision for the rediscovered myths of long-gone but not forgotten civilizations such as the Mayans and Egyptians, and the schools of thought espoused by so-called Freemasons. In short, he has built on a solid academic foundation that spans many disciplines: anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, astrology, physics, psychology, biology, history, mathematics, and medicine to name but a few. Moreover, this is an easy-to-read, intelligent, honest book not to be overlooked as Harper spews scientific theory and salutes spiritual teachings equally. He sees no contradiction between these two models of reality anymore. There is an irrepressible faith here and a rare chance to find solace in a time-of-trouble by reviewing the insights gleaned from Harper's communion with the "realm of the dead" and God. In summary, if you think, you are; and if you are, you will profit from thinking about Harper's visions of future world events that he outlines clearly to prepare us all for the Second Coming of Christ Consciousness in era-2012.

Tranceformers has provided me with great insight into life-after-death, spiritual awakening, trance and the Solar Cycle. Anyone who is interested in any of these topics will enjoy reading this book.

by a friend who thought I might enjoy it. They were right! Completely up my alley and a great read. Figured I'd pay it forward and suggest to Amazon readers to give this book a shot.

People liberate yourself.......2007-08-28

First, there is nothing categorically wrong with this book or the information presented but...

This man has read the same books you've all read. Heard the same programs that we've all heard. This is book is 'derivative.' The only difference is that Mr. Harper has taken the time to consolidate it all into one source and add HIS own opinion about 2012.

His opinion is not wrong nor is it right. Who the heck knows
But, they are his opinions.

I know nothing about his experiences but his credentials lend nothing to his authority. He offers nothing from deep and dedicated scholarship (the academic sort) but rather anecdotes and assumptions he has arrived at himself from the information freely floating about.

Read his book if you want to hear another opinion but try doing something else. Find your own opinion.

Excellent Information!.......2007-08-24

This book is not just about 2012, its about EVERYTHING, and how its all fits together in the grand cosmic cycles of all things. Great overview of all things meta physical.

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful.......2007-08-09

I would like to thank Steve Murray for providing these Reiki attunement programs. I have received 1st and 2nd degree from his products and also from a live class. The experiences were very different but both were wonderful. I have not been able to raise the $1,000 required for my Masters Attunement from the organization that I received my live 1st and 2nd from but Steve has made it very affordable to receive the attunement. I have read some of the reviews and see that one or two have been upset because they didn't feel anything. I don't know what they expected to feel but Steve does explain that if you can't feel anything it does not mean that you did not receive the attunement. I have definitely been able to tell that I have received the Master Attunement even though I didn't "feel" that much while receiving the attunement.

I definitely recommend that anyone taking his attunements also read his Ultimate Guide Trilogy. They are so packed with information about Reiki that I feel so much more prepared to be a Reiki healer than I did prior to reading them. They are truely wonderful and his A Reiki 1st, Aura and Chakra DVD is very helpful in showing you how to perform your own attunements. Reiki False Beliefs Exposed is very good in answering questions you might have about things you have heard about Reiki and setting the record straight in many areas. I also have had Steves Psychic attunement and the wonderful thing about his programs is that you can take them over and over again and that is something you can't do with a live attunement. Of course, you need to follow Steve's cautions in waiting three days between pschic attunements. I believe that taking the Reiki Healer attunements over and over can continue to improve my abilities to be a better healer.

Reiki the Ultimate Guide, Vol. 2.......2007-08-08

Excellent for anyone wanting to learn Reiki. His book is well written and instructions for attunements are very precise. I have all 4 of his books on Reiki and pre-ordered the 5th one. I too, am a Usui Reiki Master and intend on using his books in my classes. Steve also has CD's that compliment each of his books - Give them a try - I purchased all of them too.

Steve Murray's Reiki products.......2007-06-11

As someone that received Steve Murray's Reiki 1st Level, 2nd Level and Master Attunements and also Psychic and Healing attunements and read the Reiki The Ultimate Guide (3 volumes, really looking forward to the forth one that is coming in July this year) and Reiki False Beliefs Exposed For All I want to express my deep gratitude to the author and tell that Steve Murray's work is superb. The author shares Reiki with the world in an honest, simple and understandable way and you can feel that his intent is genuine. After attunements I always felt an inner shift occurring, felt like each time my energy vibrations were lifted to a higher level that left me with a feeling of inner calm and at the same time inner strength. I like Steve words at the beginning of each attunement "I believe at this very moment our energies are connected in the now". These are not just words, it is something that really happens in time of attunements, it is very real. Before attunements Steve Murray gives detailed instructions on how to prepare yourself for the attunements, what to expect during and after attunements, which position you need to hold your hands. All the smallest questions that you might have about attunement are covered. The same is with Steve Murray's books. They are extremely clearly written guides, (step by step, with photographs) how to give Reiki 1st, 2nd , Master, Healing and Psychic attunements (volume 1), how to perform Healing Attunement with Chakras to help heal a specific physical ailment or disease (volume 2) and how to perform Aura Healing Attunement for specific mental and emotional issues (volume 3). Reiki False Beliefs exposed for All has all answers that you can imagine about Reiki in easy to understand question - answer form. Quoting Buddha (volume1), Rumi (volume 2), Confucius (volume 3) and Lao Tzu (Reiki False Beliefs...) in the beginning of each chapter is also a very nice and inspirational touch. You will get the wealth of information about Reiki symbols and their use in everyday life, about charkas and meridians, about aura and its layers, how to sense, see and protect it, what its colors mean, how to prepare and protect yourself from physic debris during healing session etc.
Reading Steve Murray's books makes you feel light and uplifted versus scared and limited since Steve always recommends to take from his teaching what resonates with you and leave what does not.
I truly believe that taking Steve Murray's Reiki Attunements and studying his books from cover to cover will give you enough knowledge and confidence to be a Reiki healer to heal others and yourself . Those are the only complete sources you need to learn Reiki. Buy and study his products, you will not be disappointed.

The Ultimate Guide Volume II.......2007-04-05

I was so excited when the next book in the series arrived. I practically ate it up, such was my hunger for actual information. This book did not disappoint. It is jam packed with specific information that will help any Reiki student with organizing their thoughts regarding Reiki attunements (both for another and for themselves). The information presented is clear, concise and straightforward.

This book contains all the information that a Reiki student needs...including the Master symbol. This is not just a rehashing of the first book in the series. Steve covers Reiki attunements with regard to the chakras. This is a different way of presenting Reiki that I did not get when I was first attuned.

The best Reiki books.......2007-03-10

This book by Steve Murray is awsome, as well as his other books and DVD's. Since reading his books and receiving his wonderful Attunements I can give Reiki Attunements to myself and others. I can Beam and Scan, and can protect myself from Psychic Debris, this was the hardest for me to achieve. I have used Reiki on myself, many of my friend, several who are Reiki Healers. My sister who is a Reiki Healer, My husband, who was sceptic, has also recieved and been helped by me with Reiki. I am a Registered Nurse, and work in a Post Anesthetic Care Unit. I have helped many, many of my patients (with their permission). I have been practicing Reiki for many years, without formal education. I have read several other books on Reiki in the past, but it was not until after I received the Attunements with Steve's DVD's, and read Steve's books that I noticed a huge improvement in my skill, and I truly felt complete

Customer Reviews:

Bravo!!!!! Five Exclamation Points for Chakra work. .......2005-05-13

Use the Chakra CD (I haven't even heard the vibrational stuff yet) immediately after listening to a Gateway I discs from Monroe Institute. Try doing the Monroe recommended "Start with hand on front pocket region raising the hand/wrist super slowly" technique while keeping elbow to the side... and then do the other hand after you get the first hand perpendicular (elbow resting on bed) and you will experience something incredible. Use only the index and middle fingers after both arms are up. Then notice how your fingers can extend deep penetrating healing and clearing energies even to parts of your body as far away as your feet. (See also "The Reconnection" - Dr. Eric Pearl)

Even being a TOTAL NEWBIE to Chakra anything, I was able to feel deep into any point of my body. It seems to have had an "objective" affect on a nearby sleeping pet... and child.

Good.......2003-07-06

This is a 2 cd set and the chakra one is OK. It's kind of annoying because he talks througout it. I really like the vibrational cd better. He talks in this one too but only at the beginning. Then it's just sounds etc. I really do feel lighter when I'm done and I like the imagry he uses in the beginning. So if I could rate them separately I'd give the chakra one like a 2 and the vibration one a 4 (so I gave this an overall 3 - the average).

Didn't work for me.......2003-06-20

I've tried the CDs a few times and have had no success with them at all. Don't take this rating too seriously though, because nothing of trance work or astral projection has been successful with me thus far.
