Description
Tap into the nine major chakras that affect your power, health, and well-being. The Chakra Handbook is the essential portable reference for the experienced energy worker, as well as the perfect introduction for anyone just starting out.
First discussed in ancient Hindu texts and studied for thousands of years in numerous spiritual traditions, including acupuncture, meditation, and yoga, chakras are the power centers connecting your physical body and the world of energy. By tapping into the power of your chakras, you can live a healthier, balanced, and more abundant life.
Athena Perrakis, leading metaphysical teacher and creator of the world's largest online metaphysical resource website, SageGoddess.com, has created a modern guide to the ancient practice of working with the chakras. Unlike most other guides, which only address the seven body chakras, The Chakra Handbook addresses the nine major chakras you can tap into to balance, heal, and manifest. This guide explains how and why different crystals, aromatherapy, essential oils, and sacred plants help to support each chakra.
Each chapter of The Chakra Handbook also includes magical exercises for accessing the energy of each chakra, including meditations, journal exercises, and working with goddesses and spirit guides. Readers will even learn how to create a dedicated chakra altar, a mandala, chakra-specific incense blends, as well as other inspired projects. Lavishly photographed and illustrated, this guide promises to be an essential volume for beginners and experienced energy workers alike.

Beautifully illustrated and informative book on chakras. It is a perfect coffee table book for dipping into. The format was perfect and easy to follow. Each chakra was studied in order and a good variety of information was added, such as essential oils, gem stones and related tarot cards. It is a lovely book for beginners and those more experienced alike. Thank you

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I have read a few books like this and few come close to this one. I love how the book is set up. That you get journal exercises and all the crystal information. The illustrations were nice and it was easy to follow and that is what made the use of this book fun and enjoyable. I enjoyed that each chakra had its own chapter and that made it easy to focus on each one and give its own spiritual justice.

Other than some formatting errors in my ARC which made it a bit hard to read (sentences doubled on many pages) which I'm sure will be fixed in the final version, this book was exactly what I expected it to be and more. It had loads of useful information on all the different types of chakras, full-color pictures that added a lot to the book, recipes with essential oils to help with your chakras. As a chakra newbie, I enjoyed reading more about each chakra in depth. This has deepened my interest in the subject.

This is the perfect book to dip in and out of when needed. It's easy to follow with step by step guides for meditation and has plenty of information on any resources you need such essential oils and tarot cards. It's perfect for a beginner and the layout is aesthetically pleasing.

I have been studying the chakras informally for several years now and find this book to be informative and colorful in its presentation. I was not aware of the additional chakras that the author teaches us about - the Earth Star Chakra and the Soul Star Chakra. I found this teaching profound and helpful.
I look forward to adding this beautiful book to my personal chakra library.
With gratitude to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I'm a complete beginner on learning about chakras and their functions and this book was fantastic. It breaks it down by each one and goes in depth. Highly recommend!
Helena C, Reviewer
I really wanted to know more about Chakras and how they affected your mood and general everyday life. The only thing I knew about Chakras was that they were something I heard in yoga but didn't know what they were or what their function was. As a result of reading the Chakras Handbook, I learnt a lot from from knowing that chakras are the power centres connecting your physical body and energy. There are nine in total. The author teaches us how to tap into the chakras for healing, health and generally living a happier life. The book is short but sweet but yet it explained everything beautifully. It also includes exercises including meditation, journalling etc to help us get further into the energy of each chakra. Loved this book!

A very informative book which I would ideally have liked in hard copy to be able to enjoy it better. Well researched and logically presented.

As a beginner this was such a helpful book!
Very easy to understand, with a very flowy writing. And with very helpful illustrations to help understand even more about the chakras and what the author was explaining to us.

Very good read. Informative and full of so much knowledge. I really enjoyed reading this book. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on my review.

[I received an e-ARC of this book an exchange for an honest review.]
Since I read a book about meditation a few months ago I'm really interested in learning more about chakras.
This book is great for beginners. It starts with some basics about chakras and has a chapter for each chakra. It also includes exercises, meditations, chakra correspondences and beautiful pictures.
As a polytheist I really liked that the book also talks about the goddesses of each chakra.
