This book is an ongoing learning resource, it's loaded with a lot of knowledge and practices with our chakra energy centers, chants, routines, yoga. A tremendously useful resource and keeper.

[Francine Apollo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Contains symbolism attached to chakras as well as characteristics of each and their relationship to the physical body as well as to elements, planets, colors and sounds.

This is a thorough study that can be read straight through (I found that difficult) or read by dropping in to explore a particular chakra.

Helpful for beginners and those who want to learn more.

This is not a book for beginners as it contains terms/info derived from the Sanskrit tradition (Chakra is a Sankrit word). It may require that you immediately couple the book with additional sources.

I would still encourage reading it, but be prepared to stop reading to look up terms, etc.

Very informative. Great meditation and breathing exercises. I appreciated her explanation of the history and symbolism.
