Chakra Tonics: Essential Elixirs for the Mind, Body, and Spirit (Chakra for Beginners, Healing Tonics, Smoothies, Juices, Teas and Healthy Drinks)

I love this book! It's compact, informational, mixing chakra training with Vedic insights and fun facts to how to create some great teas and tonics. The writing is conversational with no attitudes to express. Just a fun, joy- filled book to bring clarity and wellness to all even if you want to ignore the chakra orientation.Collins has succeeded in providing us fresh, natural and sometimes raw food juice and blend recipes that are tasty and nutritious.I love the "fortifying fig shake" but the "sunrise juice" is also a great way to start the day. She throws in a few mantras to bring ourselves joy and celebrate our existences while offering some historic bits of advice from one of the oldest spiritual disciplines of our planet.The book is uplifting, fun to read and a great reference when you're feeling like you need recharging.You will find explanations of the chakra system, Vedic spiritual teachings, juice, tea and tonic recipes that are nutritious and spiritually uplifting.

A delightful compendium of healing remedies infused with ancient wisdom. While serving up the recipes for her simple potions, Elise Marie Collins educates and explains how ancient principles still resonate with us today (literally!), affecting how we live our lives and interact with others. In her extensive research and obvious personal experience, Collins even has advice for curing the ills of the digital age, such as by stating "juiced rhubarb is said to assist in releasing the heavy energetic load of TV programs and video games, and balances intuitive and analytic energy." You feel healthier just reading her wit- and nutrient-laden recipes, but her magic only works if you whip them up. Who can resist concoctions with names like "sensual second chakra shake" or "manipura manhattan"?

The book included many receipies for healthful smoothies. I have not had a chance to try any of them;but, I hope to do so soon. I also bought a companion book" Alkalize or Die, by Theodore A. Baroody. See my review.

This book is so much more than I expected. It is full of wonderful tidbits of information on the chakras as well as other aspects of energy and ways to heal & balance the chakras. I haven't tried all of the tonics yet, but the ones I have tried are delicious. I just love how concise and knowledgeable it is. If you're interested in the chakras and/or healing, it's a must have.

This books is a good next step for working with your chakras. She provides a good explaination of the main chakras and how to use herbs and foods to support each chakra's function.I recommend it.

The recipes are tasty!!

i think this book is great and so informative for the size. I had originally given it a 3 star rating (years ago) but i picked it up again recently and felt that was pretty unfair. I think the price is just right. It is full of delicious-sounding recipes and interesting speculation/information

Good

great book for my introduction to smoothies, very well used

As expected.
