Perhaps you have picked up this book because you are on a quest for healing. Maybe you’ve taken up yoga, or recently had some experience with another healing practice that opened you up to a greater flow of energy and alignment. Or maybe you’re just curious about what chakras are. Chances are, you’ve had more direct energy experience than you think. In the coming chapters, we’ll examine the common issues that arise when the chakras are blocked or imbalanced, and how to correct and restore balance to them. We’ll also explore the crystals, colors, oils, and yoga postures that correspond to each chakra, so you can create your own personalized healing journey.
Our journey begins with a look at your body’s energy system and the seven chakras that inhabit it. We will then connect the dots between patterns emerging from the physical body and the subtle body (mind, psyche, ego, and soul). Every human being is already equipped with the ability to do this. If you are reading this book, you have already started the process—all you need to do now is remain open to understanding.
