MacLaine introduces chakra work and provides guided meditations that prove to be very relaxing to some students. Onscreen colors and visual patterns are shown to help viewers let go of their worries and concentrate on soothing images. MacLaine advocates the value of these exercises designed to increase inner peace within each viewer’s mind, body, and soul. Some comments from Amazon:Quote:The explanation of the chakras, the music, Shirley’s soothing, flowing and guiding voice…all wonderful. As a beginner, I found only one thing distracting. The chakras changing color half-way through their presentation. It’s hard focusing on seeing those chakras within one’s self while watching a screen, learning how to use them, etc. When the additional colors came into play, my ability to stay focused on the original color and why any certain area was any certain “color” and how it was incorporated was compromised. I learned to watch just long enough to see and “feel” the color, then close my eyes and simply listen, visualizing internally, until she moved to another chakra. Second guided meditation…WONDERFULLY done!Quote:Shirley MacLaine takes you step by step through her meditative, spiritual and physical belief system. She speaks knowledgeably on the subject, and she allows you time to process the information if you are a newcomer. She does not talk down to you, and neither does she make it so incomprehensible that it’s useless. It’s a pragmatic approach to relieving the stress of daily living. I highly recommend it.
