Chakras

I’ll admit: I rolled my eyes when I saw *another* chakra book. But *Chakras* won me over by the five-minute mark—not with woolly metaphors, but with Solis’ razor-sharp analogy comparing energy centers to ‘wi-fi routers for your emotions.’ That’s the tone here: spiritual without the woo, esoteric but grounded. Dave Wright’s performance sells it; his voice has a gravelly warmth that keeps the science-y bits from feeling clinical, though I’d occasionally crave more dynamic shifts during the ‘symptoms of imbalance’ sections (his delivery stays steady when a touch of urgency might’ve helped). The standout? Solis’ refusal to let listeners off the hook with vague advice. When discussing the throat chakra, she doesn’t just say ‘speak your truth’—she breaks down how chronic people-pleasing rewires your vocal cords’ tension (yes, *physically*), then gives a 90-second humming exercise to test it. My only gripe: the audiobook’s brevity leaves some threads dangling. The crown chakra section, for instance, hints at ‘cultural conditioning’ blocking spiritual connection but doesn’t dig into *how* to unlearn it. Still, for anyone who’s ever side-eyed crystal shops but can’t ignore their persistent anxiety, this is the gateway drug to energy work—no incense required.
