From the Author

As the facilitator and also a participant during chakra workshops, I have witnessed miracles and magic, twists and turns I never expected in myself or others. They've haunted me until placed on the page in this fictional narrative that includes a group leader on her own quest to live a life of discovery and love. Because of her humanity, she tends to love too much and overstep all the conventional boundaries, but she stirs her students at levels where they can discover themselves too and find truth, happiness and love.

My passion is to help inspire and motivate individuals to find balance in mind, body and spirit. I believe you can re-connect with your body and learn self-love through proper eating habits and by incorporating yoga, meditation, mindfulness, immersion in nature, and energy healing techniques.

How do chakra imbalances affect one's life? My novels, THE CHAKRA DIARIES and the sequel, CHAKRA SECRETS, tell stories you can identify with and learn from, and include meditations and energy healing techniques you can put right to work.

BALANCE YOUR CHAKRAS, BALANCE YOUR LIFE, is a companion book to CHAKRA SECRETS, taking you step-by-step through the Dynamind instant energy healing process.

THE CHAKRA ENERGY DIET provides the answers to why you are stressed out, have food cravings, are overweight or have health issues.

When not reading, writing or doing yoga on the beach, I'm enjoying my home on the Big Island of Hawaii with my family and friends.

Wonderful overview of the Chakras

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2012

I got this book last month and kept trying to find time to read it. Going back to school has proved to be more challenging than I thought. The one thing I found I miss the most is time to read for enjoyment instead of assignments. This weekend I set aside some time to read and relax. It proved to be rewarding in more ways than one. I chose The Chakra Diaries since I wanted to find balance and felt my body was out of alignment.

The book is written with diary entries from participants of a chakra workshop. All of them had decided to go to the workshop for different reasons. Each of the participants represents different chakras. The experiences of the root chakra were from Estrella and Barry. Estrella was looking for stability and grounding that was missing from her life. Her travels took her from her home on the East coast to South America and ended on the West coast in California. The second entry was from Barry. He also was a wanderer. He became enamored with a woman also participating in the workshop and decides to leave the group.

The sacral chakra was covered by two women: Deborah and Sarah. Deborah, the love interest of Barry, was a party girl that married a very religious man that was so different from her. She doesn't feel complete. Sarah was raised in an Amish setting in Belize and was abused as a child. She breaks free from the community only to hear a dam broke and the entire community was washed away.

The solar plexus chakra entries were from Carol and Jean. Carol was a philosophy student that became a secretary and fell into a mundane life. When her health begins to suffer, she needs to find a way to heal herself. Jean has always felt heavy as if she was dragging something or someone. It turns out to be her grandmother's spirit and she needs to find a way to release her.

The heart chakra was from Julie, an energy healer with stage 4 melanoma. She has spent most of her life healing others but wasn't able to heal herself. She needed to find a way to open her heart to find release.

The throat chakra entry was from Tony. He is in love or lust with Sarah where they lived in the same condo complex. He lost his parents in a tragic car accident. He had to find ways to deal with the life he was handed.

Mark, Julie's partner, takes her place in the workshop when she becomes too ill to attend herself. His entry represents the third eye chakra.

The diary ends with the final entry from Rebecca and the crown chakra. She led the workshop but suffered a great loss herself. She needed to find a way to deal with her grief. There is a chakra meditation at the end of each section. These are very easy and relaxing to do. The author also has a companion mp3 file that is approximately 11 minutes long. It is a wonderful chakra meditation. I did it last night and felt grounded and complete for the first time in a while. I highly recommend this book and mp3 file to anyone interested in working with chakras.

Very informative about the world of chakras and how being stuck in any of them brings disharmony to a person. I like that each chakra had a story, but it was a little confusing who the books was talking about, but it was very humanizing. I like that all the characters are intertwine, but not how the ending comes about.

To be honest I don’t know what to make of this book. I liked learning more about chakras. I enjoyed the individual stories and the healing of the chakras. The experiences were wonderfully told and allowed me to gain a bit of insight into the people.

My issue lies with Becca. When I got to one point in the book I was so angry at her that I wanted to slam the book by either not rating it or giving it a low rating. To me, what she did as a spiritual leader of sorts, had me so disappointed that I wondered if any of us were infallible to the whims of humanity.

Of course I then had to look at myself and wonder why I was being so judgmental about someone else’s tale. It’s because I’d gotten so engrossed in the story that I empathized with the characters. Now that’s some good story telling. So here I am reviewing the book.

Granted I really wish things had turned out differently for one of the characters and that Becca had handled the situation better, but that’s life, right?

While a bit racy, the message of this compelling read is a true one: "love heals."

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2012

Verified Purchase

The Chakra Diaries is a collection of stories about the health and relationship challenges faced by nine participants in a chakra-clearing class. Having been assigned the task of keeping a journal over a 12-week period, the characters share their histories and ongoing journeys with us through a series of diary entries.

Although touching upon serious and, in some cases, heart-breaking experiences such as incest, the stories all struck me as being upbeat. Packed with creative description and wry humor, the stories are clever yet remain true to their purpose. The diarists journal as a way to cultivate awareness of what they are doing, and as a means to explore deeper spiritual truths, such as the effect that forgiveness has on the body and mind.

Well-written and tightly edited, The Chakra Diaries explores various aspects of human sexuality and yearning. In a couple of the stories, musings about the energetic causes of sexual fears seamlessly transition into racy descriptions of sexual encounters.

For those who feel that sexual exploration is a legitimate aspect of human life, this book is likely to be a highly enjoyable read. It's smart and amusing, and is in tune with the growing interest in energy medicine.

This is not, however, a book for the reader who prefers the genre known today as "Christian romance" or who prefers fiction in which there is no reference to sex and not a single curse word.

While I am not that reader, the question still remains: Did I like the book? The answer is both yes and no.

First, what I liked about The Chakra Diaries:

The Chakra Diaries is well-written and moves along at a fast pace. It is not too technical for those unfamiliar with the chakras. Rather than inundating the novice with too many facts, chakra information is woven into the stories casually, and with a light touch.

The stories in The Chakra Diaries are grounded in reality. They present a variety of challenges that people face today. Even more importantly, the stories paint a fairly accurate portrait of how and why people today are seeking esoteric knowledge and alternative methods of healing.

Since the diary entries are "uncensored," the diarists share their motivations with the reader - along with their confusion, doubts, and anger - as they try to understand not just their own behaviors, but the behaviors of others, and from a more spiritual and energetic perspective.

The participants also begin to learn that, while you can't analyze yourself out of misery (or escape it through detached witticisms), you can learn to love and forgive, and so rise up out of misery through that route. This, to me, is a very important and true message, and so I sought to illuminate the importance of radical forgiveness - and the role it has played in my own life - in my own book, Inspirational Messages .

Lastly, the I loved the quotes used to begin each chapter.

What I didn't like about The Chakra Diaries:

Although the stories of the participants differ, the "voice" in which they each express themselves sounds the same to me. In other words, the diary entries did not come across to me as having been written by different people, and so the premise - and the honesty of the accounts - lost its believability. Whereas, at first I was thoroughly "taken in" and began wondering whether this was really a work of fiction or a non-fiction book masquerading as fiction, after the first three stories I saw too much similarity in the writing style to believe the book was the work of multiple diarists.

Related to this stylistic issue is the incidence of a few too many "tongue-in-cheek" descriptions that refer to traumatic or sad situations with what I felt was a kind of self-deprecating, casual cleverness. While one person might try to hide from his or her pain by talking cleverly around it, it felt like too many participants wrote with this same style.

Also, while The Chakra Diaries has great descriptive clauses that inject powerful energy into the stories, a few descriptions felt contrived to me, as did this one:

"I was introduced to the pleasures of caramel lattes and then later, to just as frothy carnal pleasures."

Lastly, a few passages that relate to the second chakra were a bit too racy for me. They bordered on what I would classify as erotica. That having been said, they may prove to be liberating to someone else.

In summary, The Chakra Diaries is a compelling read with an inspiring message. As a person who believes that self-awareness and aligning with Divine Love are keys to transformation of not just the self but the world, I embrace Becca Chopra's perspective. It is, in essence, what Jesus taught: Love is the answer to life. In addition, Jesus taught that others could do what he did, i.e. heal the sick. Yet, without an understanding of the energetic model, we have no framework for understanding how that was possible.

Jesus was, most certainly, an energetic healer. If the scripture handed down to us is a faithful representation of the truth, his vibration was so high that a person could touch his robe and have her energetic field lifted and her illness fall away.

Having come not to be a magician, but to plant a seed meant to transform human suffering into joy, Jesus empowered his disciples by teaching them how to align with love and become enlightened energetic healers themselves. Therefore, I see no conflict in being a Christian and learning about our human energy centers, the chakras. On the contrary, studying the chakras - and energy medicine - has allowed me deeper insight into the metaphysical truths that Jesus taught.

Having experienced the power of energy medicine to heal my own body, I applaud Becca Chopra for her skillful and entertaining method of promoting the idea that illness and relationship problems are, first and foremost, energetic problems. Were it not for the more sexually explicit passages, I would recommend this book wholeheartedly to my tribe of followers.

Bottom line - racy or not - these are informative, entertaining stories that illustrate how our lives play out when our chakras are blocked, and they inspire us to release our personal fears, angers, and resentments.

An Emotional Journey!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 24, 2015

I was contacted by the author for an honest review during a free promotion a couple of years ago. I agreed and downloaded a copy due to being interested in spirituality and the chakras. Unfortunately, due to my rather large reading list, I have only recently been able to read it.

This is a collection of stories that were quite interesting. They are a small insight into the lives of the people who, in one way or another, found themselves learning about chakras and opening themselves to spiritual and emotional growth through the teachings of Rebecca. Each story relates to a journey taken by the various characters and the emotional or physical barriers that have weighed them down over the years, which relates to the chakras of the body. These are the Root, Sacral, Solar Plexis, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown chakras. Each chakra is represented by a colour: Red for the Root, Orange for the Sacral, Yellow for the Solar Plexis, Emerald Green for the Heart, Sky Blue for the Throat, Indigo for the Third Eye and Violet for the Crown.
The characters come from varied backgrounds and social circles. However, they all have found themselves at a crossroads in their lives. They are Estrella, Barry, Deborah, Sarah, Carol, Jean, Julie, Tony and Mark. Rebecca also has her diary entry included.
I loved meeting these characters and getting to know them better through their diary entries; they all come alive as their stories are revealed. The characters in this book take the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride as they struggle with their issues and undertake their journeys into spirituality.

However, I struggled to follow the chakra meditations at the beginning of each section. I don't know if it is just me being stubborn or lacking imagination, but I found I couldn't picture the exercises as described. I don't know if I was doing it wrong, or what the problem was. I must admit, I have even have trouble making my mind go blank by focusing on or imagining a plain white wall! Perhaps I'm too tense or self-conscious about meditating, even when I'm on my own. I have even tried listening to meditation CD's of crashing waves and whale calls in an attempt to calm the mind a few times over the years, but all that happens is that I get irritated by the repeated pattern of the sounds and end up switching it off and listening to the sound of nothing! Maybe I need to have a chakra reading to see what the problem is. I am usually open to nature spirits and believe in inner spirituality, but meditation is harder than it looks! Perhaps it's not my journey to take.

That being said, this book may help those of you who would like to learn how to meditate or unblock chakras to allow the emotional energy within the body to flow better and bring about health in both mind and body. - Lynn Worton

Stories for Life and Love

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 12, 2012

The stories that Becca tells in The Chakra Diaries are both common and enlightening. We've all heard them, perhaps even experienced them - the unrequited love, the cancer diagnosis and the betrayal of those closest to us; what makes them stand out in this book though is the way that they are each woven into a stronger theme of positive change and personal development. Each story is complete in it's own right, yet each forms a part of the whole novel. Each story talks eloquently about the chakra's and shares a meditation you can use, yet each also forms a part of a longer, stronger meditation you could use to balance all the chakra's. The stories are heartwarming and accessible, which where I think their strength lies.
