Format:Paperback
In keeping with its subject, this book is bursting with colour! Its attractive design and informative, easy-to-negotiate chapters make it an excellent source of reference on this fascinating subject. It contains everything from the most basic information to in-depth chapters on the properties of each of the seven chakras including its Indian name, symbol, energy function, the physiological systems it controls and associated gem stones and crystals to name but a few! It also contains excercises and meditations focussing on beautiful colour photographs appropriate to each chakra which really help to focus the mind and awaken a true understanding of the subject. This is not a book you read once and put away - it's a book you will pick up again and again. Dare I say it, it has become a source of inspiration - a companion on life's rocky path!

One Step Further into Cosmic Consciousness
Although every book that I own on the charkas is very valuable, each one has something special that sets it apart. Mercier's book is no exception.
Although every book that I own on the charkas is very valuable, each one has something special that sets it apart. Mercier's book is no exception.
The introduction explains the concept of auric energy fields and the next chapter discusses the focused energy fields, the vortices within these fields that are the chakras and how they are connected to the endocrine and central nervous systems and the spine.
The Indian tradition is discussed next, with reference to Yoga, and then each chakra is investigated in depth with beautiful illustrations and the appropriate meditations.
The book includes a chapter on charkas and sound - each chakra responds to the primal vibration of sound through mantras, chanting, toning, singing, musical scales and specific instruments.
The chapter A New Awareness explores beyond the 7 well-known chakras into a new state of consciousness. Here the additional charkas are discussed: Earth Star, Navel (hara), Causal, Soul Star and Stellar Gateway that exist as potentialities within the sequence of the seven.
The chapter Chakras and Sacred Stones looks at the correspondences with crystals whilst the last chapter deals with healing the body and mind.
The text is richly enhanced by brilliant paintings, photographs and illustrations, including illustrated exercises, and the book concludes with a bibliography and index.

Format:Paperback
Very informative and readable. Theres a lot of information here, but its broken up nicely with pictures, fact snippets and excersizes to do. The pictures are beautiful as well as varied and interesting. Everything from ancient art to ancient yogis to dolphins and flowers. The excersizes are also varied. Theres breathing excersizes, excersizes for feeling your energy and seeing your aura in a mirror. It informs about the aura and different types of yoga as well as the chakras. Each chakra has a few pages devoted to it, with a table of correspondances to it. There is historical perspectives and famous quotes relating to chakras and the introduction is particularly good in explaining the importance of aural energy, light and colour. Its a fairly scientific book for a 'new agey' type, enough to convince the biggest sceptic! If your learning about meditation, yoga, the aura or the chakras themself, I highly recommend this book
