I picked up this book hoping for simple advice on balancing energy along the chakras, instructions on how to self-administer acupressure along the meridians, and maybe a few yoga poses or massage techniques that help to soothe or awaken different areas of the body.
And it has all of that, but I was disappointed to see a lot of nonsense about past lives, colorful auras, and pseudo-religious ideas attached to every aspect of health.

Science and medicine have proven that there are energy centers throughout the body (that some people call chakras), and meridian lines that connect energy which are proven to be effective through acupuncture and acupressure. These are scientific facts.

But there was a lot of other nonsense that made me question the veracity of the author. It sounds like she's using the truth of the body's energy and trying to attach it to her own false ideas and religious concepts.
I did not enjoy reading her examples and accounts of clients who have been "healed" by her, because of the constant references to occult practices.

Why can't authors just stick to the facts, instead of pushing their own political or religious agendas?
