Great book, distracting voice

Revisado: 12-24-20

I’m into the the 4th chapter and I also have the actual book. Normally I only do one or the other, not both — I either read the book or listen to the audio. Since the book is so full of content and the fact that there are many things to cover on the chakras, I felt that in this case it was better for me to ‘read along’, as I sometimes have a little trouble focusing when in fact I am really trying to understand a topic that can be a little complicated.

Okay, so the book itself is great, I love Cyndi Dale. I have many of her books and I have a great deal of respect for her. In this book I feel she does her background work and let’s the audience know the history behind the chakras — but she also adds her own experience in working with the chakras through energetic hands on work. I love the examples and the illustrations, as well as the overall in-depth explanations.

Okay now to the narrator. I’m not familiar with Leslie Howard except for in this book. She has a lovely voice and for the most part I feel I am able to follow the content well. However, for me, I felt she over emphasized words just a little too much. I think it’s good to read with feeling, but at times it had more of a romance novel feel to it. For instance, in sentences where it’s obvious the author is conveying a heartfelt feeling, the narrator reads it with a lot of feeling but just a little overboard.
I’m not saying I want a robotic reader, just maybe don’t draw out the word so much. It was distracting for me enough to where I would have to stop the audio and read the passage myself.

I tried...

I have an actual copy of this book so I thought listening to the audio along with it would be helpful. I even previewed by listening to the narrator in the sample, and I liked her voice. However, almost every breath she takes is loud, so loud I can’t focus on what she’s even saying. I don’t know what techniques narrators have to where the audience can’t hear this - and it seems sometimes she does back up from the microphone on some inhalations- but more often than not I can hear it and I’m thinking, dang, I’m just going to read this to myself. lol Again, lovely voice though...

Lot of background pauses

I can hear it 'rollover' again and again in the background audio. For me, this is really distracting.

Enlightening for me

Revisado: 04-11-17

After listening to it I have a clearer understanding of empaths. I am 43 and am just realizing I've been one all my life. Looking back I realize I had felt very out of place and my energies were scattered. For many years I had tried to bury the energies of others that really overwhelmed me. This audio has helped me immensely- I am able to recognize now that when I feel others pain or anger I don't have to own it, I can practice the exercises and change the energy. It's very enlightening. I did choose to buy this audio before reading her primary book but I'm going to buy the audio to that now.

Just finished the audio book

Revisado: 10-13-16

I listened to the entire book over about a month. I have just recently begun reading a course in miracles. I think what Marianne Williamson says makes sense, read it, see what happens. If it resonances with you, you will get a shift in perception. For me personally, I want to be who God intends for me to be, if that makes sense. It also mentions that this is one in many spiritual guides. It promotes kindness and love, that in itself is pretty awesome. ;)
