Wheels of Life: A User's Guide to the Chakra System

Summary: pleased to meet you
Review: This book had a strange way of finding me, as have many of my books. This book, however, was my first multi-hundred paged book, and began the frenzy of reading in my life. I thought there could have been more exercises, but the ones in the book were acceptable for beginners. That's what this book is. A complete beginners guide. It has everything you need to get started on serious metaphysical study. I have read many books since, but much of what I have read comes back to Wheels of Life, cited material or not. This is an excellent reference work which gives much of the knowledge from the source that said it best.

Summary: Large Collection Of Information, Theories & Exercises
Review: This book has a lot of ideas about chakras and some practical exercises, although in containing ideas collected from a variety of sources it includes some misleading statements and false assumptions, which the reader will have to discern through their own experience and research. This is a nice book for a reference collection or for those seeking a thorough overview of chakras and the metaphysical traditions associated with them. The author is enthusiastic about the subject matter, and tends to be open to a wide range of ideas about chakras, though she does not claim to have an authoritative understanding of chakras and metaphysics. There are many books available about chakras, and this is a fairly good one, since it exposes the reader to a wealth of information and ideas rather than a single narrow viewpoint or dogmatic teaching.

Summary: Great Chakra Resource Guide
Review: This book is a very good book to help you understand what there is to know about your chakra's. If they got rid of the section on witchcraft, and wrote the book as a scientist instead of a New-Ager then it would have gotten 5 stars from me.

Summary: Wheels of Life Book Review
Review: This is the best book I have ever found on chakra's. Such a beautifully written book! Written assuming that you are intellegant, and contains useful information which is not "psychobabble." This book also contains meditations and other spiritual writings. It is a must for anyone interested in chakra's, colour, meditation, or who is seeking a more alternate spiritual awareness.

Summary: The most concise information on the chakra system.
Review: This offering from Adodea Judith has the most useful information on the caring for the chakra system that I've found in 10 years of performing chakra therapy. I recommend it to my clients often. Anyone interested in chakras and how they interact with our physical bodies would benefit by reading this work as well as having it for reference.

Summary: Good book!! How can 100,000 readers go wrong??
Review: This was my first book on the Chakra system and to be quite frankly it has been one of those books I always go back to look for references. My personal opinion is that Anodea Judith, PhD, has done an excellent book, both for the beginner in working and understanding the Chakras as well as the advanced.
Each chapter is dedicated to a particular Chakra. You will learn, the Sanskrit name to each Chakra, it's meaning, location, Element, Function, Inner State, Outer State, Body Parts, color, Mantra sound, Hindu Deity, as well as other deities from other pantheons. Also each chapter has a meditation on that particular Chakra as well as Yoga exercises to harness that particular Chakra to your favor. I have been directed to other books, because people say that there are better books out there. But to be honest this book for beginners is simple and right to the point. Anodea Judith, PhD writing is down to earth, and direct. Think about it, how can 100,000 readers go wrong. If you are looking for your first book on Chakras, you will not go wrong here. This is a good book, full of a wealth of information.
