I'm interested in learning more about the chakras but to insinuate that people get cancer or that women struggle with infertility simply because their chakras are unbalanced.... yea you lost me. Some of the balancing tips were interesting and I will attempt to incorporate them, but to also repeatedly suggest smudging when that is a closed practice doesn't sit well with me. The author could have advised for readers to utilize smoke cleansing which is not closed practice, but to instead use the term "smudging" either implies that either a) she expects all readers to be Native American or b) does not respect Native American culture and understand why smudging is a closed practice.
