By understanding the chakras, you can better understand the ways you interact with the world around you and the energetic roots of your inner being. Offering an in-depth guide to this powerful ancient yogic science, authors, Victor Daniels, Kooch N. Daniels and Pieter Weltevrede - all long-time students of the late tantric scholar, philosopher and temple artist, Sri Harish Johari - explain the essence of each of the 7 chakras and provide practical tools to work with these energetic “wheels of light.” Revealing how each chakra is connected with specific patterns of thinking, feeling, sensing and acting, the authors explore how the chakras offer a vertical map of consciousness beginning with the root chakra at the base of the spine and ascending to the crown chakra on top of the head. They provide dynamic meditations, mantras and other methods to work with the chakras. You will learn how to enhance each chakra's positive features and transform the difficult ones. You will discover the complementary ways they affect each other, the gifts and strengths each can bestow and the psychological causes of potential imbalances within them. Co-author, Pieter Weltevrede, provides visual portrayals of traditional images of the chakras and their deities, explaining the spiritual secrets embedded in each. Sharing profound insights from their studies with Harish Johari, the authors, also, include chakra wisdom from other gurus they have studied with such as Guruji Pilot Baba and Mataji Narmada Puri. Offering practical wisdom for help in daily life and freedom from the tethers of your past, chakra work provides a powerful way to hear your inner self more deeply and a systematic path for activating higher levels of consciousness.
