The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Chakras introduces both the major and minor chakras - energy centers along the nervous system that are said to revitalize both the body and the spirit - explaining their qualities and the signs of balance and imbalance in them, and offers healing techniques that combine chakras with yoga and meditation so readers can relax, release, restore, and renew.
In the last decade, as Westerners have become more familiar with Eastern medicine and lore, the term chakra, or wheel, has entered the New Age lexicon, though it isn't always clear what they are. The book, written in a warm, approachable way by an expert in yoga and chakras, touches on the many aspects of the body's energy system - the colors and auras, the connections with yoga and ayurveda - and shows readers how to live a healthier, more joyful life.
The book includes line art by Wendy Frost and Hrana Janto, two accomplished artists and illustrators who both live in New York's Hudson Valley.
