I found it extremely rewarding reading The Artist's Way as a blog group this past January. I want to read True Balance; A Commonsense Guide for Renewing Your Spirit by Sonia Choquette.
Please, join us!
Leave me your name and URL (if you don't have a blog just leave your name and we can communicate through emails) in the comment section of this post and I will add you to my sidebar so that we can share our experience reading True Balance.
This is the planned reading schedule; completing one chapter every two weeks. I like two weeks because it gives us the opportunity to try the exercises and write about each chapter.
I know this brings us into the holiday season. At first I thought maybe we should wait until January until we begin, but then I realized how much I NEED balance during the holidays. This is the perfect time!
By September 16th - First Chakra/Balanced Foundation
By September 30th - Second Chakra/Balanced Vitality
By October 14th - Third Chakra/Balanced Sovereignty
By October 28th - Fourth Chakra/ Balanced Heart
By November 11th - Fifth Chakra/Balanced Expression
By November 25th - Sixth Chakra/Balanced Personal Vision
By December 9th - Your Crowning Glory
Each Saturday I will share links to resources, posts from other bloggers, and my own thoughts about True Balance.
I write about why I chose True Balance here.
Links to buy True Balance are here and here and here. If you go to Borders you can print out a coupon here .
I am open to any suggestions about the reading schedule or the way to foster community amongst the True Balance readers.

I am still on the first chakra and am trying to catch up!

I got my book and read the first chapter. I'm happy to see I'm only slightly ungrounded and know what I need to work on.
Foot rubs
no meal skipping
less one sided friendships
You have two Tammy's participating so call me Tammy B

Please may I join in, I have just found your blog through GreenishLady and this sounds like such a wonderfully positive thing to be doing and connecting with so many lovely people. Its just what I could do with right now.

is it too late to start? I don't have the book but am willing to order it - I guess I will be a little behind though. I know about the chakras - no expert but have done a few workshops.
Posted by: miss*R | Monday, September 11, 2006 at 07:06 AM
posting on saturdays - that should be easy to remember... do we post our entry here or elsewhere? also I tend not to put words into my collages or art; hope that is ok?
Posted by: AscenderRisesAbove | Saturday, September 09, 2006 at 12:53 PM
I've ordered the book & am looking forward to participating with everyone!!! Sept will be hectic, but I'm not going to let that stand in my way!
Thanks Melba for the opportunity, count me in!

So glad I discovered your feel-good, rockin' blog! My copy of True Balance is on it's way and I would love to be involved. I have always wanted to learn more about Chakras. Thanks for the opportunity to participate.

I ordered the book last week and it arrived a few days ago. It must have been here that I saw it referred to. I may be a bit erratic in the first few chapters (busy, busy September), but would like to read along as much as I can. Looks great, having just skimmed it. Thanks for the idea.

I'm new to your blog and would love to participate in this reading project!
An absolutely wonderful idea!

I have the book on hold at the library. It seems a little too "new age" like for me, but I'm going to keep an open mind and give it a go.
