Healing Body Meditations: 30 mandalas to enhance your health and well-being

by Mike Annesley

A full-color guide to harnessing the healing powers of the body through visual meditation

• Contains 30 beautiful full-color mandalas with accompanying healing meditations, all based on the chakras and the natural miracle of the human body

• Provides mandala meditations to address specific body systems and health concerns, including the heart and circulation, brain and memory, headaches and migraines, joint stiffness, fatigue, anxiety symptoms, and chronic aches and pains

• Introduces each chakra in depth along with signs of an over- or underactive chakra and a mandala meditation to strengthen the chakra

Pairing the healing and transformative power of symbolic art and focused meditations, Healing Body Meditations is a set of 30 beautiful color mandalas with accompanying healing meditations, all based on the chakras and the natural miracle of the human body. Meditating on these unique designs--which each focus on a particular chakra and an organ, body part, or system such as the heart, eyes, lungs, or skin--draws upon the endless power of the spirit as a force for physical healing, allowing us to tap into our inner springs of vitality and help restore our being to wholeness and balance.

The 30 mandala meditations have been specially created to enhance the meditator’s relationship with his or her own body, ease common symptoms of imbalance and stress, and address specific health concerns, including headaches and migraines, joint stiffness, fatigue, anxiety symptoms, and chronic aches and pains. Organized around the 7-chakra system, the book introduces each chakra in depth along with signs of an over- or underactive chakra and a mandala meditation to strengthen the chakra. This is followed by specific meditations on individual physical, emotional, mind, or soul aspects the chakra regulates as well as meditations for pain relief and energy boost, supporting the skin and senses, and tuning connections within the brain to help with mind and memory.

The book also illustrates how clearing the chakras with visualization and meditation can boost energy, enhance the immune system, and bring a change of perspective to everyday life. With rich symbolism and beautiful artwork, these healing body meditations provide an engaging and effective tool to balance, heal, and stimulate body, mind, and soul.

A wonderful inviting colourful book to help people who might just want some mindfulness or those who love and are fully involved in Buddhism, it is equally open and inviting to all. Some great meditations here.

I found this to be a nice little book. You get a mandala image and a meditation to go along with it. It is divided into different categories and you do get chakra mandala meditations. So if you are a person who wants an image with their meditation, this can be one to look at.

A lovely book, with beautiful illustrated mandalas. I definitely found it helpful, as I was just about to go to hospital for major surgery, and the relevant mandalas were helpful, giving the mind something physical to focus on.
Thanks to the publisher for a review copy.

Lately I've been struggling with completing spiritualism and meditation books, and at first it really seemed that it would be different with this book in particular.

The author was very sincere and well aware of some of the problems with the common meditational books. The idea of the meditation guided by the picture, especially with the mandala art, was very catchy for me.

I must say it was very well though out and perform excellently, but it still didn't have enough power to hold my attention until the end. I still read it, even it was far far away from meditating. Perhaps I will try it again one day, hoping for the better succes.

This is a beautiful book to guide you into meditating with the mandalas that are included. Each one is related to one of the seven chakras and there is a lot of valuable information about each chakra as well. Informative and inspiring!

Thanks to NetGalley m the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Whether you're familiar with of meditation or new to the practice, Healing Body Meditations by Mike Annesley is a great book for all levels.

Although familiar with the chakra system, I really learned a lot of useful information here. The author gives detailed explanations of the symbolism behind each chakra, the body parts it corresponds to and how to determine if they are out of balance. Each section uses clever and well-designed mandalas, thirty in total, each with their own meditation designed to make the most of your practice.

Beautifully written and illustrated, this book is a must-have for all those who would like to have more balance in their lives and enhance their well-being.

This is a great book. The artwork is so bright and cheery. The meditations are simple, but great and are so varied. My only issue is that I cannot mediate and read the instructions, so I have recorded a couple on my phone, which works well. I’m sure as I listen to them over and over there will come a time when I won’t need the recordings. Id recommend this book.

If you’ve ever tried meditating and enjoyed it, you’ll find this book to be not only visually appealing but extremely helpful in navigating your own personal wellbeing.

Immerse yourself in color and use the visuals to guide you towards healing.
