A really comprehensive guide that covers just about every aspect of energy healing through vibration. Works great as a compendium of different techniques and rituals one can do pertaining to each aspect of the energy healing modality being discussed. Also liked how the author introduced her own experiences and wasn't afraid to share her vulnerability and humanity throughout

Fantastic book that provides fresh insight into that internal battle that often goes on in all of us silently. I'd purchase this book in future.

Having been recently interested in learning more about spirituality Raise Your Vibes was a book that interested me and I found it very good and full of information on energy healing and raising your vibrations.

I love how this book had so many different methods to healing and raising your vibes from Reiki to crystals, meditation and frequencies etc. This was great as it allows you the choice. With so many rituals if you're not ready for one you can easily choose and different one and make that work for you too,

Each chapter was beautifully explained making it really easy to understand how and why each of the methods of raising vibes, reiki and healing may be beneficial. Whilst I read the book cover to cover this would be the perfect kind of book to dip in and out of and return whenever you may feel like learning about or revisiting a topic.

The layout of the book is lovely and the pictures are very helpful to see what is being explained with mudras, chakras etc. This is a fantastic book that I think is the perfect book to start anyone on their spiritual journey, definitely worth a read.

Being someone who had never formally read about reiki before, this book was the perfect introduction to the subject! Raise Your Vibes is full of exercises, including the step-by-step self-attuning ceremony, and, more importantly, important advice on life (not just from an energetic aspect, but from the perspective of building self-confidence and resilience as well) and amazing tips on how to make your home a better place to live in with the use of crystals, plants, and, of course, reiki practices! Athena Bahri's writing is easy to follow and very entertaining. Looking forward to buying this book once it's out so I can have it as a reference book on my shelf :)

Breaks Reiki down to bite sized chunks. A breath of fresh air, bringing a hugely positive vibe.

I was really lucky to get reiki sessions free via a mental health aid charity and became obsessed.

Reiki has such an unexplainable power (energy) to it that blew me away, as someone who struggles with mental health it’s a huge help.

I loved how this book covered energy healing but also things like vision boards, meditation and even options for kids. It’s so plainly explained that you can pick it up and learn from any level, without jargon that may throw you off as a novice.

I would definitely recommend this for folk struggling with anxiety , depression, or just wanting to connect back with life (especially in the pandemic.) It’s a hugely relaxing experience with guides on everything from meditation to smudging.

This is the first book on energy healing I’ve read that’s so to the point and widely explained, covering a little bit of everything.

Inspiring read, one I’ll go back to again every now and again to brush up on things.

Wow! This book covers so much!!!
Reiki, smudging, moon work, affirmations and mantras, meditation, candle work, crystals, angel work, sound healing, so so much!!! I took so much from this book. I don't think the title does the book justice for the amount of diverse content within the book.

Not only does the book have specific sections telling your more about different ways to 'raise your vibes' - in the final chapters of the book it gives you specific situations and scenarios and what to do to help at those times.

I really enjoyed this book, and have learnt a lot - and even the stuff that wasn't particularly new to me, it was definitely a new way to look at things. This is a great book to read in one sitting, but I could also see myself dipping in and out in times of need! The only reason I haven't given this book a 5* is because I would have liked some more art and illustrations - to make the book more colourful and feel more decadent - I know thats really superficial of me, but I like my spiritual books to be works of art too!!
I have been lucky enough to be given electronic copy for early review, but will be ordering the physical copy to have on my shelf!

I want to preface this review by saying that just because it’s not meant for me, that doesn’t mean others won’t benefit from it. I am the type of person who prefers scientifically proven methods of healing, and while this book is full of case studies, there is little in the way of science.

This book is basically about alternative healing methods, such as using crystals, intention candles, and reiki to shift your ‘energy’ so better things may come your way. In my simplistic and inexpert view, it boils down to positive thinking, which is a revolutionary tool although maybe not one accessible to all kinds of people (e.g. those with mental health problems).

The book comes with a contents page and an index page which may be helpful for those wishing to find a specific prayer or have a specific ailment. This can be very helpful as the book, although a quick read, is jam-packed with anecdotes and many alternative healing methods.

The author also touches on scientifically proven methods of recovery, such as mindfulness, which I enjoyed reading about. I like to think I have an open mind, but I did not have an open enough mind for when the author started talking about the dangers of WiFi and 5G.

The author does reference some of the things they say, and they also include a bibliography for further reading which will undoubtedly be helpful for people who are interested in this area.

I would recommend this book for those who believe in angels, spirits, and are into alternative healing methods.

I enjoyed reading this book as it was very topical for coming out of a tough year like 2020. I read a lot of spiritual books so I found some of the advice repetitive and more for beginners but I was blown away with the beginning chapters on Reiki and the short but powerful Reiki activation meditation. I had the most vivid dreams afterwards! Overall a great book for quick and easy ways to live a more positive, high vibe life.

This was my type of book - as someone who is interested in peoples mental health and different coping mechanisms for people, this was right up my street! I loved it!

Not all of this book is for me, it contains a lot of crystal work which I don't personally partake in. The parts that do resonate with me however are fantastic.

I like the layout of the book, it makes it clear and easy to read and follow. The colour scheme is also warm and welcoming.

Release Date: March 9, 2021

Raise Your Vibes! by Athena Bahri is a self-help book about energy healing.

I found this to be a fascinating resource with very detailed information. The author does a great job of blending her own personal experiences into the teaching.

If you are looking to learn more about energy healing, Reiki, the Chakras, and so much more, then this book is for you!

I'm so grateful to Athena Bahri, Watkins Publishing, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

Raise Your Vibes! is a practical book on raising your energy using a variety of rituals and exercises based on Reiki techniques. It is quite high level, and easy to read and apply. You can choose an area you want to work on or a problem you want to improve, or just raise your energy in a general way. Lots of other healing tools are incorporated such as crystals or the power of the moon. It is an uplifting read and would make a lovely gift book. Good for dipping into for a feel good boost.

I really loved this book. I have just got into spirituality,crystals etc and it was really helpful and useful. It was full of knowledge, tips and good explanations to help really understand. I loved how the author included her own experiences as it was so beautiful to see the influence of vibrations from this. It really inspired me and taught me how significant vibrations can be. I feel extremely more knowledgeable after reading this book. It could be a bit repetitive and overloaded with information and extremely similar rituals at times but I think it will definitely be a book I look back to for future reference.
