Accessible, clear, effective, and useful power tools

I came across this book because of my growing interest in chakra balancing and energy-based therapies. A friend had recently taught me some simple mudras, and I'd experienced a significant positive change in 3 weeks' time from using them. I was interested in learning more, especially with a focus on healing.

Most appreciated: accessible, simple and visually straightforward layout. Clear pictures on oversize pages make each mudra visually accessible for the end-user. If your eyes are over 40, and your muscles less than limber, you can easily access this information.

I never have to change glasses, lean over to see what's on the page, squint, or otherwise leave my comfort zone to access an exercise. The author and publishers bring the information to the reader, rather than requiring the reader to come to the information. The book is accessible, easy to understand, and the exercises in it effective and powerful.

Following a high velocity car wreck caused by a drunk driver, I was injured and have experienced many years of disability and limited mobility. Sitting on a couch cushion on the floor, I'm able to use these mudras without difficulty. Using chakra balancing and healing mudras for as little as five minutes twice a day has had remarkable results.

A few months ago I would have called myself a couch potato; today I am more like a lotus. People who see me every other week comment on improvements in my flexibility, skin color, overall energies and peace of mind. Imagine having 5 people in a row look at you and say "Wow!"

That's what I've been experiencing. Doing this kind of thing does not require vast amounts of time; if daily practice is impractical or impossible, do it as often as you can-2 or 3 days a week, twice a day. Do it as often as you can remember. It can make a powerful difference. No matter how disabled, hopeless, tired, overweight, limited in range, or out of shape you feel, you can begin to heal.

Mudras and chakra work as described in this book are a gentle but very powerful path for healing. I'd recommend this book to anyone who seeks a positive change in their energies.

Fun, Practical, and Non-denominational

This is a great book on Mudras.
The pictures are fun...Mesko is shown sitting and applying each mudra while dressed with spark. She also provides the chakra(s) and color(s) for each mudra for visualization. It's practical and easy to follow, i.e. Mudras for recharging, concentration.... The Mantras provided don't contain multi-deity stuff, it basically refers to the Creator...I personally like this. To sum it up, it's a welcoming, organized and clear book on Mudras.

Disappointed

The presentation lacked validity and detail. I was disappointed as a teacher of yoga not to find sanskrit names and several basic mudras included. The book was too "sensational". I sent it back.
