Chakras: Beginners Guide to Awaken Your Internal Energy Through Chakra Meditation To Improve Your Health and Feel Great

This book is great! I describes what the chakras are and where they are found in the energetic body. It gives much pertinent information: the colors, symbols and yantras, animals; characteristics, both positive and negative; stones and scents associated with each chakra. The author also offers questions and several affirmations for each chakra in order to work with them and bring about balance in your entire being. This is the most comphrehensive, yet concise (there are only 128 pages) book I have found on the chakras. I highly recommend it

Understanding chakras is an effective first step in harnessing every human being's hidden life-changing energies and employing inner powers for spiritual and physical healing. The word chakra originated with the Vedic teachings of ancient India. It comes from the Sanskrit word for "wheel of light," and denotes the energy centers that exist in every man and woman. The Book of Chakras explores the nature of these energy sources, explains where they dwell in each of us, and instructs on how to use them. The author identifies seven energy centers in the human body. The Root Chakra, located in the lower torso, anchors us in life. From that point on the rising ladder of love and healing, we become aware of the Sacral Chakra, the Solar Plexus Chakra, the Heart Chakra, the Throat Chakra, the Brow or Third Eye Chakra, and the Crown Chakra. The last, the Crown Chakra, located in the head, is the most refined and spiritual center in the human energy system. Chakra teachings describe seven bodies that make up every person's aura. They are the Physical, Etheric, Astral, Mental, Divine, Spiritual, and Soul bodies. Chakra teachings say that each of these bodies vibrates in ways that are allied to the colors of the universe. However, only one of these bodies, the Physical, is visible. When we understand these bodies in detail, we become able to correct chakra imbalances and harness our powers for peaceful and productive living. The author advises on ways of restoring balances, healing through the power of thought, and employing colors, sounds, crystals, acupuncture, and other means. More than 300 color illustrations.

It had never occurred to me that hormones would be involved in this self-help procedure, but it certainly does make sense. Since I'm totally new at this, this book will be quite useful as I explore this subject in a little more detail. I would think that this subject might be a little more complicated than the book covers, and I plan to do some further research when the time is right. They are simple to read, straight to the point and leave you to try out the exercises in your own time. Unlike some authors, this guy shares his obviously extensive knowledge in simple, bite size chunks. For me this is so useful and means if I want to learn more I can go search.
