Beware of inaccurate scientific information
Like other readers have mentioned... it is hard to read this one through. It is very thought provoking and I have enjoyed it so far... but.... I have an issue with trusting this author.... in the book I have found multiple inaccuracies. (She makes a claim in chapter 2 that electrons and are about the same size of viruses. Definitely not true)... when I see errors such as this one I have had trouble trusting that the other facts stated are accurate.
A Must Buy! - love the style of writing, way the information is portrayed, and everything about it.
I cannot Rave enough about this book. This is coming from a person who hasn't actually enjoyed a book since middle school. I seriously have not picked up a book and read it from cover to cover since middle school which was over 13 years ago. I used to be the type of person that would fall asleep reading. Prime example I never made it past the first chapter of the first Harry Potter book even after trying three separate times to read it because I would always fall asleep. This book however has kept my interest the entire time to where any free moment I had and I ended up reading it. The way the author writes and goes about telling me information is amazing. In the last few years I began to become more spiritual and in tune with myself. I wanted to learn more about chakras and their meanings and their purpose. This book was so powerful for me that in points while reading I would actually get very emotional and cry, in a good way. I almost felt like the reader was in my head and I finally had someone who understood. While most of the book I kind of gathered in my own thoughts in recent years it was reassuring and amazing to read it in written words that I felt I never could truly explain. Then there was a few bits of information that I hadn't ever considered or truly thought about and it was eye, and spirit, opening to say the least. If you're considering this book just buy it you will not be disappointed!!
Awesome concepts! A fresh, new take on an old topic.
This is a must have book if you want to learn about the chakras. The reason why I love this book is how Anodea explains that most people dwell on only the higher chakras, since they think they are the "most important" or "most exciting". And actually the lower chakras are JUST as important to study and work with. It is the foundation that your spiritual house is upon, and if they aren't stable, it will fall down -- you will feel really spacey & it actually could cause mental health issues! She explains that the working down the chakras (grounding yourself), rather than always up (ascension) because is all part of the system. Just like a ping pong ball -- if you are not playing with another person you can only send your ball in one direction, but the game is to hit it back and forth. You need up and down consecutively for the system to work properly. I hope I'm explaining this that you guys understand. I just found this take on chakras a great concept and actually it is overdue for the masses to understand. So, if that If you are interested in learning about chakras, how they work, how to heal them, meditations, and even some kabbalah knowledge, buy this book!
The Author uses Aleister Crowley's work as a good reference! YUCK! CREEP!
Twice the author mention's of Aleister Crowley and his work page's 121 &134. I am not interested in occult magick! He is not a person I would want any information from. This book is not what I was looking for. I was seeking positive wholesome information and understanding of our body's electrical & energy systems.

This book is amazing. I've always studied chakra systems but she really brings all of the information together in a tight form that is easy to understand and interesting. I especially love the opening meditations that introduce the energy of each chakra. Chakra 5's opening meditation just melted my heart and I felt so much awe over the sound of OM. :) I highly recommend this book. Mine is highlighted all over, written in, post-it marked as well because I use it that much. :)
Good, but must be really wanting to learn to get through it.
I really like this book. But it's a pretty hard read like some have stated. I have been reading it off and on for over a year and I'm still not halfway through it. It does bring really good insight to chakras, but it's so thought provoking that you can't just read it quickly. If you do, you'll lose half of what you read.
Love it!
It is really great ... so full of fantastic information and exercises. It has already helped me so much and i'm only through the second chakra part of the book! Learning so much. Some language is complex but overall not too over my head.
Let go of emotional blocks and unleash your primal power
This is one of the best books I've read this year. I knew about chakras before diving in to this text, but Judith opened my eyes to a whole new reality. This is a complete how to manual on letting go of the emotional blocks that keep us struggling and unhappy in order to move towards living happier and healthier lives. The more we can learn to let go of the blocks that hold us back, the more we can elevate our consciousness, and the more we can move towards creating a world of wholeness and abundance. Highly recommend this for anyone that is serious about expressing their greatest gifts in greatest service to the world.
Information about everything about the chakras
Great book. The yoga part is what I like the most. Also includes food list for each chakra. Describes a lot of the things related to each chakra like grounding, survival, clairsentience, will, healing, telepathy, clairvoyance, consciousness and many more. Simply not able to put this book down

My cover is different from the one in the preview picture because I ordered a used copy from the eighties. It's a fascinating book on chakras and a great first 'manual' for me to start delving into the subject. Lengthy but so in-depth and the author involves science, pictures, old art and diagrams as well as her own explaination of chakras, energy and the meaning each one has. Very approachable, worldly, spiritual writing style, and this is a book for those that love reading! Many pages, much valuable info.
