THE WISDOM OF THE CHAKRAS is the result of Ellen Tadd's years of spiritual exploration and counselling work. She shows how the chakra system functions in everyday life, how our thoughts, words and actions affect this system and how the chakras in turn shape us. She, also, provides practical exercises that can be integrated easily into daily life to heal each chakra and attain the alignment needed for a healthy and spiritual life. The author describes each of the seven chakras, their functions and their individual and interconnected qualities and components. Although each chakra is discussed independently, each nonetheless functions as part of an interdependent cooperative whole. As a result, the chakra system offers a framework and the tools needed to understand numerous common imbalances, individually and in combination, helping the reader to integrate the various characteristics and create greater harmony and balance in daily life. For those who find themselves and their lives out of balance, the practical answers in THE WISDOM OF THE CHAKRAS will encourage them to look more deeply into our common nature and begin to see that our human nature is' also' the nature of the larger cosmos.
