The author brings new life to the ancient chakra system by wedding it to
Carl Jung's archetypes . . . guiding readers through a unique process of liberating their own energy by releasing disempowered and dysfunctional archetypes.

I thoroughly enjoyed absorbing the messages of this book. I knew very little about Chakras before reading this, and I am now fascinated with what they are and the awareness that has ensued from learning about them. Reading this book exercised my spiritual muscles, and I am grateful.

this is a great book. each chapter focuses on one chakra starting with the root and ending with the crown. each chakra has a positive and negative archetype. the chapters discuss each of the archetypes associated with that chakra and gives case histories. there are two for the positive and two for the negative aspect, one male and one female. there are meditations and exercises to work through the archetypes to overcome the negative aspects and develop the positive archetype. i found this show more book to be very helpful and enlightening. it really goes hand in hand with some of the other books that i have read. show less

Your chakras are integral to every part of your being. First identified in ancient India (the word chakra derives from the Sanskrit for wheel), they are the body's energy centers through which the life force flows, helping you to maintain physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. The Book of Chakras explores the nature of these spinning wheels of energy, explains where they are located, and tells you how to use them most effectively.
