Chakra Workbook
Rebalance your body’s vital energies
Pauline Wills
Chakras are spinning wheels of energy in the body’s aura. When they’re balanced and in harmony, we feel full of vitality and in peak condition. But when they become unbalanced, hampering the free flow of body energy, we quickly become tired and ‘out of sorts’.
Here, leading expert Pauline Wills introduces the chakras as part of the ancient Indian healing system and yoga philosophy. Discover where the seven major centres are located, how they are linked, and how they influence the body’s well-being, before moving on to the practical exercises, ranging from colour work, reflexology, yoga postures and breathwork to meditation and mantras, to balance each chakra in turn. A regular chakra workout will help you improve your spiritual, emotional and physical well-being, as well as increase your energy levels to help you face your busy day.
