Product Description
Product Description
In Indian healing philosophy, chakras are the seven energy centres running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each is a hub for the vital energy that flows through the body. If the energy at these centres becomes blocked, emotional and physical health can suffer. By retuning the chakras with meditation, you maintain balance, and reap rewards such as inner calm and an openness to new ideas. In Chakra Meditation an enlightening introduction reveals how chakras and energy pathways work. Each chapter focuses on one main chakra, offering a variety of meditations and visualisations to calm or stimulate that energy centre, as well as self-help tools, including yoga postures and healing foods, crystals and oils, to support it. Full of transforming practices, and illustrated with evocative artwork and instructive photography, this is the ultimate guide to balance and well-being.
From the Author
Chakra Meditation can help you to restore and enhance the smooth flow of energy. The practices in this book are designed to help you keep your life in balance - even in the face of the complications of daily life. With regular practice you may also find that they release the potential of the psycho-spiritual energy known as "kundalini", that lies dormant within your lower chakras.
For many years I worked with a well-known yoga organization that conducted regular meditation sessions. As part of our curriculum of "teaching" people to meditate, we suggested that they pick one of the higher chakras as a focal point on which to concentrate the repetition of their mantra. If they deemed themselves to be more intellectual by nature, it would be a good idea to use the ajna chakra, the energy centre between the eyebrows that is commonly known as the "third eye". If they were more emotional by nature, we suggested that they use the heart centre. Although the lower chakras were mentioned in classes that surveyed the subtle "anatomy" of the body, they were rarely used for meditation.
After a while, I began to notice how the sole use of the higher chakras for meditation tends to make people a bit too "airy" and "in their heads". This led me to begin to explore meditations on the chakras themselves, and particularly on the lower chakras for their grounding effects.
Chakra meditations are simple, yet powerful techniques for developing inner poise and keeping your life in balance. They are most helpful when reinforced by regular self analysis and bolstered by positive activities throughout the day --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Hardcover
Swami Saradananda has a gift for taking complex yoga philosophy and making it seem so much easier to understand and grasp. This book is no exception and not only explains what the chakra system is and how it works, but elaborates on each Chakra explaining its meanings and associations with the body and elements and ways to meditate on them. This is a wonderful book and great for anyone wishing to learn or develop their knowledge of the chakras.

Chakra meditation is a great introduction to the chakra system. Beautifully illustrated, colourful, and a pleasure to read. Set out straightforwardly you will learn the names of the Chakras, (energy centres) what they are associated with, and how to create energy via various exercises, essential oils, crystals, and foods associated with the chakras. Some may find the exercises quite a challenge, as i have found out myself, it is best to take them a step at a time. Overall a scintillating read. :).

Tuning up for a life of balance
23 July 2008
Format:Paperback
In this beautifully produced book which is a visual delight of color, form and instructive illustration, Swami Saradananda writes a clear, concise and comprehensible description of subtle energy of the body-mind-spirit. She offers methods to establish balance, harmony and health. This book is well worth reading, owning and using for ongoing reference. I would recommend it to both beginners, and those who study and instruct yoga, meditation and the tuning of the subtle body through chakra meditation. I would also recommend it to healers who use mantra, essential oils, and visualization in their healings and massage. Swami Saradananda presents techniques in ways that are readily accessible and understandable. It is a valuable tool for those who endeavor to live a life of balance.

a stunning and dynamic book
9 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is complete, informative and visually stunning. It is useful for beginners as well as for those who have been in tune with Chakras for years. Taken chakra by chakra, it offers a complete course in everything you want to / need to know about each chakra without seeming too esoteric or preachy. Each chapter is remarkable. I liked it so much I ordered two more to share with friends as I didn't want to let mine out of my house. I then wrote to the author to ask that the illustrations be made available and she wrote back telling me that they will be available on cards in November. I immediately pre-ordered two sets!
I use the meditations in this book daily.
If you buy one book on Chakras - this should be it!

This book is a fabulous one. I am a beginner to meditation this book is very straight forward and easy to understand.
It gives you yoga poses for each chakra so you can learn how to open each one. The meditation is very easy to follow the hardest part is learning how to quite your own mind.
I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning all about chakras and how to bring balance and keep balance within yourself.
