Chakras

The word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit cakra, meaning 'wheel' or 'circle'. Literally translated from Hindi, it means 'a wheel of spinning energy'. Inside our bodies, we have a number of these whirling, vortex-like centres of natural energy that, taken together, form the Chakra System, a channel for the integration of mind, body and spirit. Chakras provides a window through which beginners can learn simple techniques to practice at home in order to keep their chakras in balance, enhancing their spiritual, mental and physical lives. These include yoga, meditation, eating a balanced diet and the use of scents and essential oils, crystals and colour. It also outlines what might happen if the chakras become blocked due to stress, emotional or physical problems and, more importantly, what to do about it. If the body's 'energy system' cannot flow freely it may result in physical discomfort, illness or a sense of mental or emotional imbalance. The book includes techniques to help restore the balance through cleansing and healing energy.
