Crenshaw's Books & Decks

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.
