Customer Reviews

Never Understood Chakra's. . . . Until this DVD
I bought this DVD as I love Paul Grilley's work. I've read lots about the chakra's and energy medicine - and I've never quite gotten why it's important to add this element to my spiritual practices. To be honest,what I've read has felt pretty "woo-woo". Paul showed me why it's important to add chakra theory and meditation to my spiritual practice within about 5 minutes of the DVD beginning. He presents a wealth of common sense practical information so that I could "eat the elephant" one bite at a time so to speak and make this material applicable to my daily life. Basically, what he says is the reason we want to open up to chakra theory and meditation is to change our samsaras (i.e. which I roughly define as clinging on to people, places and things in an unhealthy way) and improve our lives both on this plane and beyond. I'm not nearly as concise or articulate as Paul and his material transcends my verbal abilities but suffice it to say that my life is forever changed as a result of learning this material and putting it into practice. He is a brilliant scholar who can speak plain English so that people can understand that these ancient teachings are deeply practical in modern life. You owe it to yourself to explore this material. . . you won't be sorry!

Excellent
As a long time student of Taoism, Chi-Kung, and yoga, I was very interested in this DVD. This being my first Paul Grilley exposure, I was skeptial. I found that he is very knowledgeble and is a very good teacher as he breaks complex concepts down to easily understandable bits. The DVD is well done, professional and is an excellent purchase for the serious student of the energy arts. At the end he ties in the Charakas with the qigong meridians. I learned a great deal from this video and would have had to read quite a few books to gleen this much kowledge in just 4 hours with the DVD.

Outstanding
I just received today and have watched the entire DVD! Paul Grilley presents the Chakra theory clearly and his presentation, as usual, is great. I highly recommend to anyone searching for more information on chakras and meditation.
