The Chakra Guide

Chakras are presented here as what they are: a symbolic and contemplative map developed in Indian traditions, with a rich history and a considerable modern life of its own. After two sessions of context — including how the familiar seven-centre model came to be arranged and why it is not anatomy — each remaining session takes one centre, with its traditional associations, a reflection, a short practice and an ordinary interpretation for everyday life. Three ways of engaging are offered: symbolically, experientially and spiritually. No belief is required, and no diagnosis is offered.
