Chakra Wisdom Oracle Toolkit: A 52-Week Journey of Self-Discovery with the Lost Fables Paperback – September 23, 2014

This is a truly amazing book for anyone interested in starting healing in their life. I never realized how very important that my Grandparents were in my life until I started this workbook. It has helped me tremendously as I started my spiritual journey two years ago. This was one of the first books I read, and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. If you would like to start a healing process, then start with this book.

I was introduced to Chakras in a yoga class over a year ago. The book used for the class took a more analytical and academic approach (Eastern Body, Western Mind), a good book, but not one that spoke to me. I was looking for something that spoke more to my heart and would encourage me and guide me through some deep work. On the surface, the idea of using fables to heal a lifetime of internal negative dialogue within oneself seems almost silly and childlike. But in so many ways, the fables served to disarm me and as I let my guard down each week and read each little one, I would be hit by emotions and thoughts I had never considered as things holding me back. The questions you are asked to explore each week seem too simple at first, but if you take the time to really focus on the things you have pushed into the back of your mind, once the dams break there is no going back.What I loved most is that it guides you through the whole year, week by week, and only requires a few minutes of your time each day. The work on the first chakra takes you through digging into your foundation- how you learned to behave and think through the behaviors of your parents and grandparents. Just the work on that chakra was eye opening and led me to start the process of letting go of negative behaviors and thoughts. There were some weeks I would spend a couple of weeks on because so much was coming through and I needed the extra time to work on it. And that's the beauty of the self guided pace. If you need more time or a break, you take it and it's there for you. I am on the last two weeks of the toolkit and I can say that I have changed so much in how I think about myself and the world around me. I have learned to take off the mask and be my true self. This work has changed my relationships with my husband, family and friends and I feel encouraged to find ways to be more honest, loving, open, empathetic, while also being clear about what I need and want for myself and to stick up for myself.Like anything else you do in the self help arena, you truly do get out of it what you put in, it is not magic. The questions and meditations each week truly get to the heart of the matter each week and you have to be willing to be completely honest and open with yourself. Hard truths and painful memories may come up and you have to be brave enough to face them head on and push through. Spend time with the journalling and just write whatever comes to mind. Explore the thoughts and images that come to you during the meditation days. I am already looking forward to going through the toolkit again next year and do even deeper work. The only downside I can think of is that I have not been able to find a group online or in person to work with, especially since the book caters to situations where you may be doing the work within a group setting. I think that would be fun, but there is plenty to be done solo!

This book is great and such a neat way to transform your life and get back on the best track and see things as they are. I have only had this book a couple of months but it is proving to be the best thing ever for my mental self. Unhappy, get this book and improve! Don't know who you are, get this book and find out.

I am a huge fan of Tori Hartman's work! This was my newest purchase; I already own her Chakra cards, and I LOVE the unique perspective this 52-week book provides. It pairs so well with her Chakra cards set, and this is the mindfulness/goal-setting exercise I have been looking for during a time of transition.

These cards are fantastic! I followed instructions given to me to cleanse them (bury in a jar of sea salt for a week, soak them in a full moon, charge them in the sun) before use. I did a few sample readings as directed in the manual and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the cards read. I continually cleanse them & meditate with them between uses. I am a novice, but so far, these cards are great. A little guidance for what might be holding you back from the things you really want to achieve.

I cannot say how glorious the cards and the book are. It just seems that life dawns a bit clearer, a bit lighter, a bit happier since these cards came into my life. I still use other decks, but I seem to understand them better. I appreciate more in my life now. I wish I had these cards 20 years ago, and I think everyone should have them. I do plan on giving them as gifts. It is like sitting with a cup of tea, relaxing, and getting a hug from a friend all at once. They do give you work to do, but it is not daunting, and it is not frightening. It just is.

I love this book! There is something magical about it. I love the stories, and the illustrations are unique and draw me into the stories. I became attached to the book as soon as I received it in the mail. I have always been attracted to the way a story or fable can simply, yet profoundly make important points accessible.

I've glanced through, starting to read. Seems like fun, but it's a process and a journal so will take quite awhile to go through. Seems creative, well thought out, colorful.

Me compré Chakra Wisdom Oracle Toolkit porque tengo el Oráculo de los Chakras de la misma autora y, por lo que había visto en otros sitios de internet, el Toolkit profundiza más en cada fábula asociada a cada carta y, además, tiene información útil, tal como preguntas que te hacen reflexionar sobre la fábula y sobre cómo identificar alguna situación que se te esté presentando y que te esté causando un bloqueo. No es necesario tener las cartas para poder comprar este libro, ni viceversa. De hecho, este libro dice "52-week Journey" y literal puedes hacer cada fábula sugerida cada semana. Por cada fábula vienen ejercicios para los 5 días de la semana. Son ejercicios para autoconocimiento y reflexión. Al final de cada semana se propone una meditación. Me gusta mucho que Tori es muy clara; de hecho hasta en sus videos en YouTube entiendes todo a la perfección porque va al grano y tiene un lenguaje muy amigable, sin tecnicismos. En definitiva me gustó mucho el libro y definitivamente lo recomiendo para quien le guste autoconocerse y esté dispuesto a trabajar en sí mismo. El libro es de pasta blanda, las páginas son de buena calidad y la página de cada fábula es del color de cada chakra. Muchas gracias Amazon porque en ningún otro lugar conseguía este libro en México. Gracias, gracias, gracias! (Pd. espero pronto traigan Chakra Wisdom Tarot de la misma autora! :D)

if you have the chakra wisdom oracle deck and want to go really deep, this book is your best friend. i also recommend "how to read the cards for yourself and others" by the same author, it does take you even deeper. moreover, i do believe that the chakra wisdom oracle toolkit will give you a profound experience even if you work with it without owning the deck because it lays out all the foundations. this is a powerful tool. i am very grateful that i stumbled upon this body of work, it continues to make a difference in my life.

I've only just discovered Tori Hartman and I'm wondering where she's been since I started my spiritual journey. I love her approach, her style and tge way she explains how to use the Chakra Wisdom Toolkit book. I've just completed Week 1 and I'm so excited to be starting Week 2 today. Not only this, Tori provides online tutorials for each week on YouTube to help you along. I'm still waiting for my Oracle cards to arrive but I'll have a much better understanding of them by the time I get them thanks to this brilliant book. Highly recommended.

With the passion card I draw from the deck, I'm not going to write a long, detailed review on the product because it is not my passion to act like the best sells person. However this is my first review in two years which does mean I highly highly recommend this product.I first sought out the chakra insight oracle cards, since I follow a favorite reader who did a week long reading with the deck, plus I loved it. But on the recommended product I saw that this one comes with a year long journey workbook. I studied chakra for a few years now, I know how deep the knowledge and wisdom can get, and how much more training I still need. So I kind of put that one on hold and got this one instead.I was very disappointed when I took my first glance of the cards. I saw labels everywhere. Full of stories. Lots of labels are put on to chakras I wasn't at all able to make any correlation, I call it nonsense. I can almost taste the human stupidity struggling to make things into sense with spiritual bypass. Different from most of the cards, it is so not as abstract, detached, analytical and scientific as all the other chakra literature, which I deem as being useful. However, I have a very high tolerance for virtually all cards, so I didn't get upset because it didn't meet my expectations. I just turned to the spread pages to try some layouts, just like I would any other cards.That's when the magic happened.I was so impressed how something that had me so disappointed gave such an insightful and to the point reading. It totally spoke to me, honest, easy to understand, and very down to earth.I had to read the workbook to find out the secret. I discovered that the material was channeled during NDE and the author has put over 20 years of life experience into her understanding, and teaching us with these tools. Maybe that's why it can create such a difference. One can truly not judge these cards by looking through the content along. You have to at least try a question before you jump to the conclusion whether this deck is for me or not. The card is like a taste of how magical the materials are, and I cannot wait to begin my journey with all that Tori has offered into her masterpiece.

This arrived on time and in perfect condition.The book is well laid out, with lovely illustrations, and easily readable print. It is clearly explained how to use the book and loaded with great chakra information.I'll add to this review once I've started the journey :-)) TODAY!!
