Color Your Chakras: An Interactive Way to Understand the Energy Centers of the Body

interesting

The designs are beautiful, but I'm confused by her color selection for each chakra. Muladhara and Manipura are reversed, as are Anahata and Sahasrara. I don't know if these colors are the original, and that what I have learned is a Westernization of the teachings or what. I didn't know the Hindu deities associated with each chakra, or whether these deities are Vedic in nature. I though I knew most of the Hindu pantheon, but I didn't recognize most of these.

This paperback uses thin paper that will likely bleed and have images on both sides of the page. Not well edited.

ok

Nice coloring book with added info

Very good book, I love the drawings!!

Informative, uplifting and fun. Double the inspiration with your favorite song or mantra playing!

"Color Your Chakras" by Dr Susan Shumsky DD is a compendium of explanations which elucidate the major energy centers of the body.Our three part body consists of the gross physical body, the subtle body and the causal body. The gross physical body is what is seen by the eyes. The subtle body is visible through spiritual sight. The subtler bodies and sheaths surround and permeate the gross physical body.Five sheaths cover the luminous higher self. These sheaths are koshas, the physical sheath, the vital sheath, mental sheath, intellect and ego, as well as, the blissful sheath. Most of us see ourselves with reference to the physical body, thoughts and experiences. In reality, we are much more. In fact, we represent the sum total of an undifferentiated radiance of Brahman or pure consciousness.The Tree of Life from Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) corresponds to the energy fields and chakras. The practice of yoga is about mastering these energy centers to facilitate health, wellness and a connection to the spiritual side of life and the light. Overall, this is a wonderful book which explains the rationale behind yoga and the various energy centers of the human body. Our health care system would benefit tremendously by having an understanding and honest application of yoga practiced in an integrative fashion with the conventional modalities. Immortality Commons

Very esoteric and facinating information on the chakras and lesser known ones and good design ideas but drawings done poorly. A dissapointment because with more effort on the drawings and lighter coloured ink this book would have been fantastic. Perhaps one could trace thd pictures or copy them. Colouring aside, an excellent reference book to the chakras that I will use for sure!
