Sensual is the word that best describes Chakra Gardens, the book.

Chakra Gardens:Opening the Senses of the Soul

Turning to page one, the reader´s senses are immediately engaged. A full page, filled with a gentle moth perched on a brightly colored pink blossom, the dedication of a woman to her children, grandchildren and the Pachamama´s (Earth) Children, love exudes from the page. You can almost smell the fragrance of the flowers in the vivid photography that fills the pages of this book.

Carol Cumes has created a unique and delightful reader´s journey to the Willka T´ika´s Guest House and Chakra Gardens of Peru. A huge undertaking, this project was created to aid the children of Peru and the author has done a magnificent job. Profits are donated directly to the Willka T´ika Children´s Fund to support children and education in remote mountain areas. The book, like the gardens, will reach out to readers in an unforgettable way. Pages of inspiration, with each chapter connected to a different Chakra will inspire healing and peace.

Each garden will inspire those that visit to expand their consciousness and reach new evolutional heights. Earth Garden, Water Garden, Heart Garden, Spiral Garden are only a few of the beautifully portrayed meditative areas created. All of the gardens have been created according to Andean custom and folklore and in close relationship with Mother Earth or Pachamama. Readers can use the information in this book to create their own smaller versions of the Chakra Gardens.

The photography by Greg Asbury, of the gardens, the surrounding areas of Peru and the close ups of the flowers themselves is spectacular. This reviewer can´t say enough about this book in this short review. Open the senses of your soul with a copy of this book today. It would make a wonderful gift!

Highly recommended for armchair travelers, gardeners and soul seekers, this book will remain on my coffee table for years to come, always within reach as a treat for my guests and myself. Reviewer: Shirley Roe, Allbooks Review. www.allbookreviews.com
