Product Description
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CHAKRA SYSTEM? br brMany people focus on a single chakra - like the Crown Chakra for Spirituality, the Brow Chakra for Psychic Powers, the Heart Chakra for Universal Love, the Solar Plexus for Power (especially for those into the martial arts) and so on - each chakra's special attribute. And some people try to repress the 'lower' chakras as morally bad. BUT the real importance is to understand the chakras as iThe/i iEnergy System of the entire Mind/Body/Spirit Complex. br brbWHEELS OF LIFE presents t/ihe Chakra System as a #147;Formula for Wholeness and a Template for Transformation#148; - actually a #147;Map for the Journey through Life#148; br br/b#147;At the inner core of each one of us spin seven wheel-like energy centers called ichakras. /iSwirling intersections of vital life forces, each chakra reflects an aspect of consciousness essential to our lives. Together the seven chakras form a system of modeling that consciousness that enables us to better see ourselves - in mind, body, behavior and culture. This system is a valuable tool for personal and planetary growth. br bri#147;Chakras are centers of activity for the reception, assimilation and transmission of life energies. /iAs all our action and understanding arise from and return to points within ourselves, our chakras, as core centers form the coordinating network of our complicated mind/body system. . . . The chakras are the master programs that govern our life, loves, learning and illumination. Like a rainbow bridge, they form the connecting channel between mind and body, spirit and matter, past and future, Heaven and Earth. As we spin through the tumultuous times of our present era, the chakras are the gears that turn the spiral of evolution, drawing our attention toward the still untapped frontiers of consciousness and its infinite potential.#148; (from Chapter One) br briWheels of Life /iis a system about a system - journeying the reader through the seven major chakras with theory, example, practical application and experiential exercises to accomplish the great work of personal transformation. Each consciousness is a unit in the evolutionary process moving us from what we are to what we can become, and through that process we realize ourselves as magicians, healers and visionaries. br briWheels of Life /itakes us through each chakra to fulfill its potentials and then transforms and makes us whole. br brThe journey is taken step-by-step, with each step bringing practical advantages in the development of inherent skills and abilities to meet the increasingly critical challenges of life in our times. Your life is filled with meaning and purpose. Its destiny is iEnlightenment. /iNow, you must take the first step. br

 AMAZING! November 29, 2008
Fernando Arias (New York City, NY)
Anodea Judith is a wonderful writer that clearly narrates the Chakras as an integrative system of energy. I especially like her attitude about Tantra vs. Patanjalian philosophy in the framework of Shakti/Shiva energy. br / br /I have enjoyed the flow of the chapters and am so happy to have this book in my library for future reference as well as practical research. br / br /I also own the Sevenfold Journey workbook, which is more insightful about how to actually "work" with the chakras. br / br /Look no further, really. Buy this book if you are researching/studying the chakras.
Interesting and Useful November 15, 2008
Sherrie Super (Alabama USA)
What are the wheels of life? They're the seven primary energy centers in the body that influence how we think, feel and interact with the world around us. These centers are more commonly called chakras. br / br /While the book contains a multitude of fascinating details on the history and traditions associated with the belief in the chakra system, some of the most fascinating reading is contained in the seven sections that cover each chakra in amazing detail. br / br /With the 400-plus pages, the reader will learn about the crown chakra which governs spirituality, the brow chakra which offers inspiration, the throat chakra which promotes communication, the heart chakra which teaches us to give, the solar plexus chakra which brings analytical ability, the spleen chakra which governs emotions, and the root chakra which promotes survival. br / br /This book also will help the reader explore their own chakras using poetic, meditation, physical expression and visionary art. Another nice feature of the book is a brief series of questions to help the reader analyze their own chakra activity. This book has sold over 100,00 copies, and it's easy to see why.
 Good all around directions to life November 11, 2008
Chris Suddeth (South Carolina)
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in chakra or "alternative" spirituality. I would have given it 4 and a half stars but it wouldn't let me. She goes into a lot of detail in this book but sometimes she leaves you wanting more which prevented me from going the full 5 stars. Still, if that's the worst I can say... br /Wheels also has a lot of yoga and meditations in it so I think that I'm going to be referring to the book long after I'm done.
Great Resource February 24, 2008
B. Juul (New Mexico)
I use this book as a guide for my home yoga practice. It is a great resource for understanding and working with the chakras, ie. the blocks that are showing up in your life based and how to release them. So far, this is the most user friendly and detailed book on chakras I've found.
the authority December 17, 2007

this book really is the aurthority on the chakra systems and a very well organized version of all the cultural information that is out there about them.
