Chakras

Revised and expanded edition of the classic work on chakras by the renowned Indian scholar and tantra practitioner.

Includes full-colour illustrations of the chakras to be used with the meditation exercises in the book and provides the tools necessary to activate these centres of transformative energy.

In the ancient science of tantra, the human body is viewed as the most perfect instrument for the expression of consciousness, a perfection realised through the development of psychic centres known as chakras. Located within the cerebrospinal system, the chakras are the stage upon which the interaction between higher consciousness and desire is played out. Consequently, it is through understanding and utilising the energies of the chakras that we ultimately reach an enlightened state of being.

In Chakras, Indian scholar and tantra practitioner Harish Johari introduces the classical principles of the chakras as well as their practical application for today. In this expanded edition, complete with new art and text, he unfolds the mysteries of these subtle centres of transformation with visualisation techniques essential to a fully realised tantric practice. Unlike other books in its field, Chakras provides the tools to activate these centres of transformative energy and elevate one's intellectual knowledge to an experience of spiritual growth.

Meditating on the beautiful, full-colour illustrations of each chakra vitalises the cerebrospinal centres and harmonises the entire system both physically and psychically. Explanations of each chakra elaborate on the chakra's connection to elements, colours, sounds, sense and work organs, desires, planets and deities, as well as on behavioural characteristics and particular effects of meditation. For scholars and spiritual aspirants of every level, Chakras is an invaluable, practical source of information and techniques.
