This book is excellent for anyone trying to find themselves, gain confidence and love for themselves, and trying to be a better, happier person! This is truly the best book I own!

I have been really surprised by this book. I have been interested and read about many different philosophies and practices about self-awareness and development but I have never felt that any of them were true or useful. None seemed to do as they claimed. So, I've been very skeptical about any of these concepts because I've only seen failure from them. This book on the other hand, has made me a true believer of chakras and the power energy can have. I truly appreciate her honest approach to describing what these energy centers are, how they affect us, and explaining it in a more scientific way and not in the "I have magic to sell you" way that I have seen in other books. Bless her. Whether your looking for chakra information or looking for psychological practices to achieve results, you'll find it in this book.


I can't speak highly enough of this book. It really helped me where everything else seemed to fail. I am thankful.

I found this book to be very enlightening and energizing. I found it a wise purchase.

Often without even knowing it, we all act out roles in our lives. We have all met (and played) the Victim, so entrenched in suffering that they can't escape their prison. We've probably come across a Warrior who champions the needy or fearlessly fights for the environment. We may have even had the honor of meeting a Communicator who made us feel completely understood or the Guru who inspired us with his peaceful nature.

The most interesting thing is that all of these pieces and many more (the Victim, the Mother, the Martyr, the Emperor, the Servant, the Warrior, the Actor, the Lover, the Silent Child, the Communicator, the Intellectual, the Intuitive, the Egotist, and the Guru) are parts of our personality. The best part though, is that we get to choose which aspects we wish to let guide us through life. We get to determine if we want to continue being miserable while playing the Martyr or if we are willing to give our needs a voice and set the Emperor free.

Chakras and Their Archetypes examines archetypical roles as they compare to our seven main chakras. Each chakra is associated with two personality aspects. One tends to surface when the chakra energy flow is out of balance and the other illustrates a healthier expression. Being able to unequivocally identify where our issues are and knowing where to go from there is invaluable.

This book has become a handbook in my practice of Life Coaching using the modality of Rapid Eye Technology. It is amazing how the author clearly explains the mind states of each archetype and how to get into balance. Connecting these archetypes to a chakra is genius. Simple, concise, to the point, easy to use. I am hoping Wauters is working on connecting archetypes to all 12 chakras, she has my attention.

This book is an excellent review of the chakras and archetypes. It provides real and true remedies for healing through the chakras. The author's description of the archetypes will suit any reader that has a penchant for psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
Written in easy to understand language, it never gets bogged down in unnecessary details. Excellent.
