There is a series of books titled, \u201cPlain & Simple, The Only Book You will Ever Need\u201d. I have three of these that I would like to review together, in that they are part of a growing series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first one I will review is \u201cChakras, Plain & Simple\u201d by Sasha Fenton<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThe\nbook begins with an introduction to the chakras, what they are, and\nhow they work. From there, there is a chapter on each chakra with\ndescription, purpose, benefits of each when healthy and each includes\nan exercise for the specific chakra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nHow\nto heal your chakra is next discussed, bringing them into balance\nusing colors, crystals, oils, altars. The last two sections go\nbeyond the 7 major chakras to the minor ones and a very short\ndiscussion on kundalini energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The next book is \u201cFlower Essences, Plain & Simple,\u201d by Linda Perry<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nIt\nfollows the same formula, starting with what they are, how to choose\nthem, feel their energies and how to make them. It describes how to\nuse them with the chakras and the subtle bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThere\nis a small section referencing Dr. Edward Bach, found of Bach Flower\nRemedies, and then moves into a discussion of different essences\nincluding, but not limited to, rose, lavender, eucalyptus, and red\ngeranium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nIt\nends with a glossary of essences and their uses, including how and\nwhen to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We finish with \u201cHerbs, Plain & Simple,\u201d by Marlene Houghton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMs.\nHoughton starts us off with a history of herbalism, how it is used in\nhealing and the use of a \u201cgreen pharmacy\u201d. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThis\nis followed by a section on herbs for individual body systems,\nincluding, the immune system, digestive system, nervous system and\nmore. It discusses what you would put in an herbal first aid kit,\nmedicinal honeys, different herbal elixirs, including herbs for\nanti-aging, herbal teas and the comfort of herbal baths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I would not quite agree that these are the only books you will ever need on these subjects, I do agree that they are \u201cPlain & Simple\u201d, giving you the basic information you would need to know before deciding whether or not to delve further into any particular area of interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
