I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. As I am newly learning about crystals and how to use them in my everyday life, I am looking for books like this one. I found the information easy to understand and apply. I appreciated the smallness of the book as I could carry it around with me at shops.

This is a great resource for those looking to learn more about both crystals and chakras. I've been interested in crystals for a very long time and I've built up quite a collection so it was great learning how to incorporate crystals into chakra work.

This book is filled with great information. The images of the crystals are excellent and the illustrations are wonderful. While it does touch on the actual chakras, it is more of a summary to help understand the crystals presented. This should be in just about everyone's library.

Exploring The Chakra Crystals

Luca Apicella discusses the 7 chakras, and how they work. She discusses the importance of the chakras in great length, detailing each's corresponding color, it’s location, and other aspects of the overall of the chakta system.

The author describes the function of the chakras, stating that they require a healthy physical body to function properly, and when a problem arises we should seek to determine which area of our body might be out of alignment.

The author discusses many avenues by which we may we may restore balance and harmony to our chakras; in particular, using crystals and stones. Additionally, the author discusses how we may choose the appropriate stones, how to treat, purify and cleanse them. One of the most important thing that I was impressed with is that the author provides guidelines of how long you should use your stones, in terms of wearing them.

I truly enjoyed the contents of this book and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking to have a better understanding of our chakras in relation to crystals and stones.

I love this. So aesthetically pleasing and a pleasure to read. Wonderful energy. I adore the style of the illustrations, just lovely. The physical copy would be great.

This book is very informative and at times too much info. I really did enjoy learning about the crystals as it was a topic I was not too familiar with. Would definitely be a good reference book.

This is a book for someone who knows nothing about crystals and their energies. The pictures and illustrations are great for a beginner

I really enjoyed the beginning with all the historical info on using crystals for healing. I never knew that the purpose of the colors of each chakra is that each color possesses the vibrational frequency of different electrons. The slowest is red, and the fastest is purple! Good information on how energy healing involves the whole person not just the physical body. There is lots of great info on the 9 major stones and the 28 helper stones including basic info but also an interesting detail and a fun fact! In addition chapters include How to Choose Stones, How to Treat & Purify Stones and How to Restore Harmony to the Chakras. All in all this is a great book and I definitely recommend it!

This book made me remember when I used to dig in the ground to find precious stones.

The truth is that I always liked to know the meaning of each stone and to collect them, but I never used them as a treatment. This book has awakened me to that!

Thanks to this book, I already have a list of the stones I need to buy.

I believe that this book does not bring in-depth information, but something more simple and superficial to enter the world of crystal therapy and reiki.

I will certainly deepen my knowledge after this book manages to explain to me clearly and synthetically the stones and the 7 chakras. I confess that the stones conquered me more in this book than the chakras.

Very interesting for people who are beginners in this matter. A useful guide.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my digital copy in exchange for an honest review...I requested this book because I am interested in crystals and in the chakras so why not put them together? This book is user friendly and breaks everything down in a helpful way for someone who is just getting started...There are also colorful illustrations and pictures of the actual crystals. It includes lessons on how to tell if they are balanced or not and how to clean them...all in all, this was a good book. It would be even better if it was a paper book so I would highly recommend that.

ARC REVIEW ON NETGALLEY

This books is a the worse chakra book I’ve seen, just a few pages in its using Yoga concepts and not even identifying that their anything but Sanskrit word meaning, and using it to validate their ‘chakra healing’ along with only giving what they want to fit their chakra concepts.
I find this another new age clout spirituality book and DO NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL

This started out as an interesting read but ended up being just a quick flick. A simple introduction to the 7 main chakras and a range of crystals that can be used for healing; the information shared was limited. More of a picture book than an informative read; the pages mostly taken up with artistic representations of crystals, healing properties and people engaged in healing.

I’ve also had an interest in crystals and chakras - this book is definitely user friendly and breaks everything down in a helpful way for someone getting started. I liked how it had each chakra, the stone for it and what it feels like to be balanced and unbalanced. It took it a step further and showed each stone, how to clean it, what the use is and to see if it’s charged.

Thank you #NetGalley for the advance copy

"Seven Chakra Crystals: A Guide to Find Your Balance and Peace" by Luca Apicella is written in a friendly and approachable tone, this book introduces the concept of chakras, provides practical guidance on using crystals for chakra healing, and offers a wealth of information on crystals in general.

The book begins with an explanation of the seven chakras, their associations with colors, harmonizing notes, organs, and illnesses. It then introduces nine stones for each chakra, along with interesting details and fun facts about each stone. What sets this book apart is its comprehensive coverage of crystals, including their properties, uses, cleansing and charging methods, and different ways to use them. The author's clear and concise writing style, along with detailed illustrations, make complex concepts easy to understand.

The book also includes practical exercises and meditations for hands-on chakra healing, making it suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Whether you're interested in chakras, crystals, or both, "Seven Chakra Crystals" is a valuable resource that can help you on your journey towards greater balance, peace, and well-being.

I liked the idea of this book, making the concept of Chakras more accessible to a Western audience, although Western books invariable adapt the ideas to new age practices, like using crystals. In this case, I ca see a real compatibility.

The book is well presented with full colour pictures and begins with explanations of the Chakras themselves, adding associations to colours and harmonising notes. It gives the Sanskrit names, which I personally don't think is necessary but others might appreciate knowing them.

It then explains the connection between Chakras, organs and illness which is very useful information. It then gives 9 stones for 7 Chakras. What? Ok, well, a couple of them are directed towards body parts not on the Chakra chart. Interesting details and fun facts about each stone are given, though if you're thinking of placing the stones on your body, you'll have to work out which goes where yourself.

What threw me was that starting with chapter 5, a lot more stones come into the picture and the book becomes more of an overall crystal book! Though the entries for each stone are just a page per stone, the information is interesting and this book would make a nice addition to any collection of books on crystals.
