Wheels of life

First published 1987 · 519 pages

A comprehensive, deeply grounding map to the subtle body that bridges the gap between psychological healing and mystical awakening.

What it feels like

Reading this book feels like sitting with a wise, patient teacher who hands you a detailed map of your own soul. The pace is steady and deliberate, inviting you to linger on each energetic center rather than rushing to the finish line. It balances a deeply grounded, almost clinical structure with an expansive, mystical atmosphere, making esoteric concepts feel both accessible and profoundly personal. The prose weaves together practical somatic exercises, psychological insights, and poetic meditations, creating a reading experience that is as much a physical practice as an intellectual one. It will delight yoga practitioners, spiritual seekers, and anyone yearning for a holistic framework to understand their emotional wounds, physical body, and transcendent potential.

About the book

As portals between the physical and spiritual planes, the chakras offer unparalleled opportunities for growth, healing, and transformation. Anodea Judith’s classic introduction to the chakra system, which has sold over 200,000 copies, has been completely updated and expanded. It includes revised chapters on relationships, evolution, and healing, and a new section on raising children with healthy chakras.

Wheels of Life takes you on a powerful journey through progressively transcendent levels of consciousness. View this ancient metaphysical system through the light of new metaphors, ranging from quantum physics to child development. Learn how to explore and balance your own chakras using poetic meditations and simple yoga movements―along with gaining spiritual wisdom, you’ll experience better health, more energy, enhanced creativity, and the ability to manifest your dreams.
