In Energetic Anatomy Made Easy, Laurel has accomplished the challenging task of conveying deeply rich teachings in a form that is simple, clear, and direct. Laurel has achieved this by offering examples and exercises that readers can bring into their life and use right away. For example, I commend Laurel’s direction to readers to personalize the affirmations she offers in each of the chapters, with examples of how this might be accomplished. In this way and throughout the book, Laurel invites readers to consider for themselves what their inner guidance and inner wisdom is communicating. If you are interested in mudras, Laurel has brought this into the book and demonstrated how they can be practiced in connection with a particular chakra and meridian. Another of Laurel’s accomplishments with the book is the inclusion of lovely recipes, connecting readers to food and energy, and the energy of the meridians themselves. Yoga postures are beautifully illustrated in the appendix with clear details for moving into and out of each one offering useful support, in particular, for beginners. For yoga teachers, bodyworkers, and those in healing arts modalities, there will be value in seeing ways to guide and support others in finding balance in themselves. I feel the book offers readers a clear and simple introduction to the topic of the meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Western view of the Chakras. ~ Nicole Goott, Email Review Sent To Me- This was an author review exchange

Energetic Anatomy Made Easy: Create Better Health through an Understanding of Your Chakras and Meridians by Laurel Stewart is a must-have for energy healers, body workers, physicians using the Human Energy System in their practices and those just purely interested in maximizing their performance in any area of life. ~ Exclusive Magazine, Review

I have known Laurel for many years and she has always been a confident, level-headed individual that is deeply passionate about yoga. She has invested many years in developing her skill, practice, and knowledge of yoga and alternative medicine and is able to explain much of what she does and why in layman's terms to novices and advanced practitioners alike. I am proud to see that she has taken the initiative to author a book focused on a subject matter that she intimately lives and breathes, in her quest to share the spirit of yoga with the world as a means of grounding oneself, improving self-awareness and healthy living. Laurel has several years of experience teaching yoga as well, and this has no doubt been a source of strength when she decided to write her yoga book. Her consistent practice of yoga has allowed her the strength and confidence to pursue her dream of alternative medicine, which she is now able to offer a holistic approach to living a healthy life. Laurel is good - very good and I encourage anyone who has but even a passing interest in yoga or alternative medicine to read her book and reach out to her.

An enlightening, easy read. The introduction really tied things together for me and i returned to it after reading all the chapters. I also really appreciated the appendices with definitiions of the jargon unfamiliar to me. As a novice in regards to the concepts the book has provided, I found that the introduction enabled me to best determine my “take home”. What resonated with me, what could I take into my life’s journey even if I never practice yoga, meditate, or ponder on the energy systems that travel through my body. The key aspects from my reading were the beginning pages of each chapter: the three (3) words of each chakra/meridian that provided the foundation (easy to remember); life themes (significance and focus), and most of all the affirmations (my action items). I loved the idea of personalizing each affirmation to make it meaningful and purposeful. ~ Diane Grant, Clinical Genetics Manager, Anatomical Pathology & Cytopathology, email endorsement
