Magnum Opus

The magnum opus of chakra books! I've had this book for years now and it has stood the test of time, I still refer to it often for insight and clarification. Anodea is a master teacher, her presentation is wide-reaching. Whether you are new to this field of study or you've been at it for a while like I have, this is a resource with something for everyone. To complement this book, I find the guided chakra meditation on the audio cd, Crystal Voices, to be an extremely valuable practice as well.

Easy to read and Understand

This book by Anodea Judith is an excellent study into the realm of the energy centers of the body, known as chakras. All aspects of each of the seven major chakras are covered is an easy to read and understand format. Readers new to the subject of chakras can find a good solid base of understanding in the pages of Wheels of Life, while long-time students of the chakras will find new insight and a fresh look at old friends. Great book! Way to go, Anodea!

Definitely the book to have on Chakras

I had been looking for awhile for a good book on Chakras that was straightforward and easy to undertsand. There are so many books on Chakras and many of them (at least the ones I found) went way too deep too fast and lost me. I needed a book that went Chakra by Chakra, explaining what each represents and providing some exercises to work them. This book was perfect! Each chakra chapter starts out with a one-pager with words that help explain that chakra (e.g. 1st Chakra - earth, roots, grounding, survival, body, food, beginning, etc). Then there is a meditation. Then there is text that walks through each type of description (e.g. "grounding"). Judith connects the concepts to the body and explains how its all connected. There are yoga exercises as well as recommended reading of other books to learn more about each Chakra. Excelent book - It really lays things out in a simple way that is straightforward and unmuddied. Lots of hand drawings throughout as well as some great quotes to ponder. Gods and Godesses are also mentioned in the text which is great. Excellent book!
