Chakras
Wheels of Life
by Anodea Judith
Anodea Judith has finally
come out with the second edition of her seminal book on
the chakra system. Few Westerners knew what the word ‘chakra’ meant
before 1987, when Judith introduced the system to popular
culture through the first edition of Wheels of Life.
Now in this new edition, Anodea Judith has streamlined
her classic
guidebook into a more readable, accessible format. This
edition is replete with graphs, charts, and images which
make the
book both a joy to flip through and to use for focused
study.
Each chakra has its own thorough section, which includes
each corresponding Sanskrit name and English translation, element,
associated body parts and organs, functions and malfunctions,
and over a dozen more symbols and correspondences laid out in
a clear graph. Judith’s illuminating yet grounded writing
carries the reader through a helpful understanding of the human
energy system, emotion, sexuality, and power. How do we channel
our sexual energy into a healthy, and even transformative state?
How do we manage our emotions in our relationships and lives?
Judith offers enlightened exercises, advice, reflection, and
systematic understanding to help the answers to these questions
come to light.
Wheels of Life is a resource for students and teachers of
healing modalities, yoga, relationship, and living. This book
will probably soon have a curled back front cover for how many
times you will find yourself pulling it off the shelf to inform
your research, curiosity, and life.
