The Chakra Workbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Chakra Healing by Experience, and Realigning Your Body's Vital Energies

by Anna Voigt, Penny Lovelock (Illustrator)

Chakras are psychic centers of subtle energy in the human body, and doorways to a powerful process of transformation. Knowledge of the chakra system comes from the ancient Indian practice of Tantra Yoga. Until modern times, this knowledge was largely transmitted orally from teacher to student. The Chakra Workbook offers a practical and fascinating overview of this ancient spiritual science of physical rejuvenation and spiritual awakening for beginners as well as for devotees wishing to expand their understanding of this subject. With a primary focus on learning by experience, this fully illustrated book features interactive exercises and suggested meditations that help create a more personal approach. The abundance of traditionally based practices will help to strengthen the body, calm the mind, and cleanse the chakra system to promote vitality and well-being.

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.
