Wheels of Life: A User's Guide to the Chakra System (Llewellyn's New Age Series)

Like other readers have mentioned... it is hard to read this one through. It is very thought provoking and I have enjoyed it so far... but.... I have an issue with trusting this author.... in the book I have found multiple inaccuracies. (She makes a claim in chapter 2 that electrons and are about the same size of viruses. Definitely not true)... when I see errors such as this one I have had trouble trusting that the other facts stated are accurate.

I cannot Rave enough about this book. This is coming from a person who hasn't actually enjoyed a book since middle school.I seriously have not picked up a book and read it from cover to cover since middle school which was over 13 years ago. I used to be the type of person that would fall asleep reading. Prime example I never made it past the first chapter of the first Harry Potter book even after trying three separate times to read it because I would always fall asleep. This book however has kept my interest the entire time to where any free moment I had and I ended up reading it. The way the author writes and goes about telling me information is amazing. In the last few years I began to become more spiritual and in tune with myself. I wanted to learn more about chakras and their meanings and their purpose.This book was so powerful for me that in points while reading I would actually get very emotional and cry, in a good way. I almost felt like the reader was in my head and I finally had someone who understood. While most of the book I kind of gathered in my own thoughts in recent years it was reassuring and amazing to read it in written words that I felt I never could truly explain. Then there was a few bits of information that I hadn't ever considered or truly thought about and it was eye, and spirit, opening to say the least. If you're considering this book just buy it you will not be disappointed!!

This is a must have book if you want to learn about the chakras. The reason why I love this book is how Anodea explains that most people dwell on only the higher chakras, since they think they are the "most important" or "most exciting". And actually the lower chakras are JUST as important to study and work with. It is the foundation that your spiritual house is upon, and if they aren't stable, it will fall down -- you will feel really spacey & it actually could cause mental health issues! She explains that the working down the chakras (grounding yourself), rather than always up (ascension) because is all part of the system. Just like a ping pong ball -- if you are not playing with another person you can only send your ball in one direction, but the game is to hit it back and forth. You need up and down consecutively for the system to work properly. I hope I'm explaining this that you guys understand. I just found this take on chakras a great concept and actually it is overdue for the masses to understand. So, if that If you are interested in learning about chakras, how they work, how to heal them, meditations, and even some kabbalah knowledge, buy this book!

This book is amazing. I've always studied chakra systems but she really brings all of the information together in a tight form that is easy to understand and interesting. I especially love the opening meditations that introduce the energy of each chakra. Chakra 5's opening meditation just melted my heart and I felt so much awe over the sound of OM. :) I highly recommend this book. Mine is highlighted all over, written in, post-it marked as well because I use it that much. :)

Twice the author mention's of Aleister Crowley and his work page's 121 &134. I am not interested in occult magick! He is not a person I would want any information from. This book is not what I was looking for. I was seeking positive wholesome information and understanding of our body's electrical & energy systems.

I really like this book. But it's a pretty hard read like some have stated. I have been reading it off and on for over a year and I'm still not halfway through it. It does bring really good insight to chakras, but it's so thought provoking that you can't just read it quickly. If you do, you'll lose half of what you read.

It is really great ... so full of fantastic information and exercises. It has already helped me so much and i'm only through the second chakra part of the book! Learning so much. Some language is complex but overall not too over my head.

This is one of the best books I've read this year. I knew about chakras before diving in to this text, but Judith opened my eyes to a whole new reality. This is a complete how to manual on letting go of the emotional blocks that keep us struggling and unhappy in order to move towards living happier and healthier lives. The more we can learn to let go of the blocks that hold us back, the more we can elevate our consciousness, and the more we can move towards creating a world of wholeness and abundance. Highly recommend this for anyone that is serious about expressing their greatest gifts in greatest service to the world.

This book is simply amazing! I've only glanced at it but it's so incredibly in depth about each individual chakra and this was precisely what I was searching for... the author goes into minute detail about how our chakras affect our everyday life if they become blocked and how it can impact on our health. I can't wait to get really engrossed in this book it's quite intellectual so its definitely something to read slowly so you absorb the information. You certainly get what you pay for and this book is worth every penny cheaper books just aren't descriptive enough! One of my best purchases!! ❤❤❤❤

Disappointed,not for the serious. Very much for the Western market. If you are into Crystals, Astrology and the like then this is the book for you. If you were hoping for authenticity look elsewhere.

This is my first attempt at understanding the subtle body and chakra activity. From very early in this read i found it easy to understand and follow what Anodea was explaining. I followed her advice and took my time allowing each chapter to sink in before reading the next. Now I am off to buy another one if her books. But which one?

A good introduction into the chakra system and how it corresponds with both the subtle body and the physical body. The practical exercises are also useful for helping apply the learned information. A recommended read.

Facinating read and a really comprehensive guide to the new age interpretation of the chakra system. Anodea Judith is to my mind the most well known authority on this subject and she makes it easy to understand with great analogies.
