Wheels of Life: A User's Guide to the Chakra System (Llewellyn's New Age)

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!!

This book dives deep into the chakra system, offering insights that are both accessible and profound. It’s well-organized and makes complex ideas easy to understand. Five stars for depth and clarity—essential reading for anyone interested in energy healing and personal growth!

What are the wheels of life? They're the seven primary energy centers in the body that influence how we think, feel and interact with the world around us. These centers are more commonly called chakras.While the book contains a multitude of fascinating details on the history and traditions associated with the belief in the chakra system, some of the most fascinating reading is contained in the seven sections that cover each chakra in amazing detail.With the 400-plus pages, the reader will learn about the crown chakra which governs spirituality, the brow chakra which offers inspiration, the throat chakra which promotes communication, the heart chakra which teaches us to give, the solar plexus chakra which brings analytical ability, the spleen chakra which governs emotions, and the root chakra which promotes survival.This book also will help the reader explore their own chakras using poetic, meditation, physical expression and visionary art. Another nice feature of the book is a brief series of questions to help the reader analyze their own chakra activity. This book has sold over 100,00 copies, and it's easy to see why.

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.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this book after reading several beginner level chakra books, I bought it with a collection of a few other more modern advanced books on the chakras. And while I do feel that this was the gold standard on the information for the chakras, it just feels a bit dated to read at this point. I wasn't as excited about reading it as I was with other more modern books. A lot of the information seems like a repeat of what I read in very beginner entry level books, but then the other information that was included was a little hard to digest and connect with. I would say that while I believe that this used to be the must-have book on the chakras, I think there are better books out now that presents the information in a more appealing way.

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!

Love this book! It had been so helpful as I explore how the chakras function throughout my body. I love it so much that I just ordered a second one for our niece for her college graduation.Others posted about the taking of dugs, but it was taken out of text..completely out of text. I don't drink or use recreational drugs but what she wrote was so mild and not an issue. It was more of an explanation how certain drugs affect us. She also explained that drugs aren't the only way to reach that level. Actually it maybe me proud to know I can do the same thing drug free. It may be more difficult but I understood that part of the process is the journey and I preferr to obtain that level as pure as I can and without the aid of drugs :)
