Chakra Tonics

Reviews / Votes

"Because I love tea and tonics, I founded the Queen's Tea, a gathering for heart-centered businesswomen. Chakra Tonics beautifully pairs chakra lessons with delicious and soothing drinks that satisfy the soul, [it's] the perfect book to complement women who are redefining what it means to be spiritual and successful."

-Jessica Hadari, founder of the Feminine Frequency Festival



"What I love about Chakra Tonics is that your health and healing are being supported by creating fun and delicious tonics. I often feel like I am preparing drinks and treats for a party, but instead I am whipping up elixirs that balance the pH levels in my blood along with chakra energy systems. My favorite section that I use as a simple guide is the brief explanation of acid vs alkaline foods. Elise's recipes and information are a great way to have a profound healing conversation with your body, mind, and spirit."

-Saeeda Hafiz, author of The Healing: One Woman's Journey from Poverty to Inner Riches



"Chakra Tonics is a rejuvenating exploration of how earth and yoga nourish and awaken all aspects of our embodied vitality."

-Shiva Rea, American yogini and founder of Prana Vinyasa Yoga



"Chakra Tonics gives a clear understanding of the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I often teach mindfulness sessions that include the ancient Vedic concept of the chakras. Collins's book provides readers with an understanding of thousands of years of Vedic wisdom along with recipes for delicious, vital elixirs that support a holistic lifestyle. Each chapter of this volume is scholarly, engaging, and practical."

"Elise creates a wonderful, refreshing mix with her wisdom about how to support your chakras with specific tonics, remedies, and recipes. She weaves in different yogic practices, adding a depth to explore the journey of the chakras with the gifts they offer us. With a sense of whimsy, Elise brings humor and love in this practical guide to increase your overall health, including your chakras."

-Judith Pentz, author of Cleanse Your Body, Reveal Your Soul: Sustainable Wellbeing Through the Ancient Therapy of Panchakarma Therapy



"Yoga is a word from ancient Sanskrit meaning 'to unite.' It's not just about physical union, but also spiritual and mental well-being. When we separate our practice into various buckets, we can miss the connection between the mental, physical, and energetic aspects of the practice. The first step in uniting the seemingly separate parts of our lives is understanding the connection between the energetic and the physical-always seeking ways for more integration wherever possible! Chakra Tonics is a rare guidebook for this reason. Elise Collins does a masterful job joining powerful juices and tonics with the ancient energy wisdom of the chakras. The results are powerful. There is no separation between the subtle body and the gross anatomy-If you're able to heal one, you're able to heal the other. Rarely do we find a book that addresses this wholistic connection in such a practical way. If you use the tonics listed in Chakra Tonics, you will feel more energy, mental clarity, and a greater sense of wellness."

-Darren Main, author of Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic



"I've led the Yogidetox for twenty years. Why do I recommend Elise's Chakra Tonics for my members? Because the more you awaken your subtle anatomy, the deeper and simpler the nourishment you crave. Chakra Tonics is timeless liquid nourishment. To evolve your experience in your body, start fasting more and make your own Chakra Tonics daily."

-Cate Stillman, founder of Yogahealer.com and author of Body Thrive, Wild Habits, and Master of You




"The food we consume and the beverages we drink determine not only our vitality but our ability to live the lives we all dream of having. Chakra Tonics gives us so many options for living at maximum wattage, I can't recommend it highly enough. Elise Marie Collins knows her way around the chakras and knows how to feed them for maximum high vibrancy living."
