Awakening the Chakras offers an in-depth guide to understanding and balancing the seven chakras, the ancient yogic energetic 'wheels of light'.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

An in-depth guide to understanding and balancing the chakras.

Awakening the Chakras provides meditations, mantras, and other methods to work with each chakra. It details each chakra’s positive and negative qualities, their gifts and challenges, and how they interact with each other. The book examines the psychological causes of blocked energy in the chakras.

Sharing chakra wisdom and profound spiritual insights from Sri Harish Johari, Guruji Pilot Baba, Mataji Narmada Puri, Sri Aurobindo, and other spiritual leaders, this book offers a comprehensive view into the chakras' profound impact on life.

By understanding the chakras, you can better understand the ways you interact with the world around you and the energetic roots of your inner being. Offering an in-depth guide to this powerful ancient yogic science, authors Victor Daniels, Kooch N. Daniels, and Pieter Weltevrede—longtime students of the late tantric scholar, philosopher, and temple artist Sri Harish Johari—explain the essence of each of the 7 chakras and provide practical tools to work with these energetic "wheels of light."

Revealing how each chakra is connected with specific patterns of thinking, feeling, sensing, and acting, the authors explore how the chakras offer a vertical map of consciousness from the root chakra at the base of the spine to the crown chakra on top of the head. They provide dynamic meditations, mantras, and other methods to work with the chakras. You will learn how to enhance each chakra’s positive features and transform the difficult ones. You will discover the complementary ways they affect each other, the gifts and strengths each can bestow, and the psychological causes of potential imbalances within them.

Coauthor Pieter Weltevrede provides visual portrayals of traditional images of the chakras and their deities, explaining the spiritual secrets embedded in each. Sharing profound insights from their studies with Harish Johari, the authors also include chakra wisdom from other gurus they have studied with such as Guruji Pilot Baba and Mataji Narmada Puri.

Offering practical wisdom for help in daily life and freedom from the tethers of your past, chakra work provides a powerful way to hear your inner self more deeply and a systematic path for activating higher levels of consciousness.
