True Balance: A Commonsense Guide for Renewing Your Spirit

True Balance is a beautiful book to use as a first approach for beginners to the Chakra system. The chakras are seven energy points that contribute to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.Choquette's language is very clear, direct and chatty. Like in other of her books, she uses her own life and her customers' experiences to give examples and illustrate her points. The book has an inquisitive but playful tone, and it will certainly help you improve your life even if you don't believe in the existence of chakras. That is a lot to say.Each Chapter is devoted to the discussion at length of each chakra: its function, the qualities it relates to, signs that the chakra is balanced, the symptoms of any imbalance (and different degrees of it). Choquette also poses the reader many questions to self-evaluate oneself and determine whether our chakra is in a good shape or not. She also gives many tips, exercises and practices to balance each individual chakras no matter its state.The book is very practical, more energetic than spiritual, and certainly less religious than others by Choquette (the religious part is mostly devoted to the chapter on the Crown Chakra. Choquette poses many questions for thought to improve your self-knowledge and promote your physical and inner growth, and the correction of any imbalance.The main thing your will learn is that being human is also being imperfect, that nobody but a few humans on the planet are completely balanced, and that balance is something you work on every day. Accepting our flaws without judgement, and working on your energy system will create a more fulfilling life and let us flow.

True Balance is a wonderful book that has helped me so much. It gives an explanation of the chakras and what each one does. From the first--the firm foundation--to the seventh--spiritual atunement with God, Choquette helps you acheive an even flow of energy where you have an imbalance. The third--your soveignity as a person, your decisions and your will to achieve your goals was particularly meaningful to me as it helped me to realize the need to respect myself, set my own priorities, and not expect others to take responsiblity for me. Respecting others and not intruding on their personal space is also part of this very important chakra. This wise insightful psychic gives practical down to earth advise to help you balance these seven physical/psychological centers on your body so that you can live a happier, more harmonious life.

This is the third time I've bought this book, because I keep giving it to friends when they need it too!I love this book; Choquette is a master of approaching spirituality with inclusive humor and gentle guidance. In True Balance she lays out logical, applicable strategies for taking stock of yourself and improving your life step by step. A good read for everyone!

Sonia is an amazing healer, and with this book, her techniques to balance yourself energetically are like receiving an energy work session. Easily the best book on chakras I have ever read. Her down-to-earth, humorous style gives you a clear, in-depth understanding of how the chakras affect your life on all levels. Combining these tools with daily meditative opening and cleansing of the chakras, I feel fantastic. Best of all, Sonia's loving energy reaches through this book and somehow touches your heart. Thank you, Sonia, for sharing this gift with us!

Arrived faster than I expected!!!!! Book was in pristine condition!!! Thank you!

This book is done in chapters by the chakras and also has lots of exercises if you want to dig that deep. I have a lot of books by this author but I like how each chapter has both symptoms of chakra issues, stories about people, and remedies to help you overcome blockages.

This book has been invaluable for SEVERAL years. I return to it, and it never fails to offer fresh insights as if I were reading it for the first time. A wonderful reference manual.

I love Sonia's books! She is truly gifted teacher.I've read other books by her. All with great and valuable information for self-help and for spiritual and intuitive development. This book has been the most useful so far! Reading about each chakras makes you reflect on your lifestyle, your emotions, how you relate to people...in short, why you are the way you are.The quizzes help you understand your imbalances in each chakras...and the exercises help you work on those issues. This is a book to keep. You'd be going back to it all the time for we're always evolving and growing.I'd suggest that people read it with compassion for themselves :-)

Very good

Great book if you want to unblock your charkras. Explains everything clearly with some good tips for you to follow to help you on your way.

I am into chakra healing at the moment and have a done a course on Reiki, therefore this book has given a modern take on balancing the chakras.
