In addition to the energy healers who have influenced my path, I have had the pleasure of working with mentors in nutrition, including Jeffrey Bland, Phyllis Bowen, Maria Sapuntzakis, Clare Hasler, Henkjan Verkade, Roel Vonk, Jack Kornberg, Robert Lerman, Barb Schiltz, Donna Landry, and Lyra Heller. All of you have been beyond inspirational, encouraging me to explore health and nutrition in innovative, exciting ways. Special thanks to Barb Schiltz for taking time to edit this manuscript and provide valuable feedback and to Georgia Clark for her artistic talent and creation of the illustrations in this text.
I give gratitude to the yogic tradition that I have been a part of for twenty years and to all the many teachers I have had through this time who live and teach this ancient spiritual practice. I thank Joanna Cashman for her grace and teaching gifts that have allowed me to help others with yoga.
Heartfelt thanks to my family for their bountiful gifts: my mother for her strength, faith, and dedication to healthy living; my father for his ability to love unconditionally and be engaged with the dance of life; my sister for her keen wit, empathy, and creativity; and my brother for his humility, depth, and authenticity. My partner, Mark, has been supportive of the time and space I have needed to write. He continues to teach me the power of the middle path. I love and acknowledge the three orange furry friends (Simon, Sasha, and Charlie Brown) who surrounded me with gentle purring while I was writing this book.
My agent, Krista Goering, is a bright, brilliant soul who understands this life work and does an excellent job finding the best conduit for its appearance into the world. I appreciate her diligence and passion for the work she does. Not everyone is as fortunate to have an editor like Caroline Pincus, an angel of the publishing world. Her compassionate comments and balanced approach to writing are greatly admired.
Truly, I am in awe of all the people I have met on my life path, seeking wisdom and healing within classes I've offered or within the setting of a clinic visit. Thank you for allowing me into your lives to give and receive what I could. I remain in service to you.

INTRODUCTION
I was introduced to chakras about twenty years ago when I started taking yoga classes. Their connection to the concepts of energy and vibration was particularly intriguing to me. Being an artist drawn to the intensity of colors and the healing arts, I soon realized that the chakras were a perfect marriage of the two. Since that time, I've read countless books on chakras, attended classes on chakras, painted chakras, created chakra greeting cards, and finally learned to read and interpret the chakras. Now I work with the chakras in my own daily practice and use them as a tool in working with others. Sometimes I choose not to say that I am utilizing the chakra system as a framework to helping others, simply because it's not always necessary to
