Editorial Review:
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CHAKRA SYSTEM?
Many people focus on a single chakra - like the Crown Chakra for Spirituality, the Brow Chakra for Psychic Powers, the Heart Chakra for Universal Love, the Solar Plexus for Power (especially for those into the martial arts) and so on - each chakra's special attribute. And some people try to repress the 'lower' chakras as morally bad. BUT the real importance is to understand the chakras as The Energy System of the entire Mind/Body/Spirit Complex.
WHEELS OF LIFE presents the Chakra System as a Formula for Wholeness and a Template for Transformation - actually a Map for the Journey through Life
At the inner core of each one of us spin seven wheel-like energy centers called chakras. Swirling intersections of vital life forces, each chakra reflects an aspect of consciousness essential to our lives. Together the seven chakras form a system of modeling that consciousness that enables us to better see ourselves - in mind, body, behavior and culture. This system is a valuable tool for personal and planetary growth.
Chakras are centers of activity for the reception, assimilation and transmission of life energies. As all our action and understanding arise from and return to points within ourselves, our chakras, as core centers form the coordinating network of our complicated mind/body system. . . . The chakras are the master programs that govern our life, loves, learning and illumination. Like a rainbow bridge, they form the connecting channel between mind and body, spirit and matter, past and future, Heaven and Earth. As we spin through the tumultuous times of our present era, the chakras are the gears that turn the spiral of evolution, drawing our attention toward the still untapped frontiers of consciousness and its infinite potential. (from Chapter One)
Wheels of Life is a system about a system - journeying the reader through the seven major chakras with theory, example, practical application and experiential exercises to accomplish the great work of personal transformation. Each consciousness is a unit in the evolutionary process moving us from what we are to what we can become, and through that process we realize ourselves as magicians, healers and visionaries.
Wheels of Life takes us through each chakra to fulfill its potentials and then transforms and makes us whole.
The journey is taken step-by-step, with each step bringing practical advantages in the development of inherent skills and abilities to meet the increasingly critical challenges of life in our times. Your life is filled with meaning and purpose. Its destiny is Enlightenment. Now, you must take the first step.

Rating:  - Great Resource
I use this book as a guide for my home yoga practice. It is a great resource for understanding and working with the chakras, ie. the blocks that are showing up in your life based and how to release them. So far, this is the most user friendly and detailed book on chakras I've found.
Rating: - the authority
this book really is the aurthority on the chakra systems and a very well organized version of all the cultural information that is out there about them.
Rating:  - Should have been called Anodea's thoughts on Chakras.
I bought this book , after reading all the reviews written by Yoga teachers on this page. I was kind of disappointed with the quality of information in the book in quite many ways.
This book preaches a lot of good and useful things , right from diet to exercise to visualization. I liked the concept of balancing of chakras for kids and would help guide new or to-be parents. Also the fact presented in the book that women are ignored in most yogic scriptures which explain self realization.

Rating: - A User's Guide to the Chakra System
I have been using this book as a learning tool in a class that is designed to help me with aligning my Chakra's. I am impressed with the various tools such as exercises, stretching and information. It is full of flowing information and each Chakra lesson fits nicely in with all of the others. My teacher has used this book for many years and hers is full of marked pages. I hope mine will be as lovingly used as I continue with learning about my Chakras.
