The Chakra Bible by Patricia Mercier Print E-mail
The Chakra Bible by Patricia MercierThis delightful book on body’s chakra energy centers is well designed and illustrated with beautiful color photographs, charts and drawings.  The bulk of the book is straightforward, going through the seven main chakras with a chapter devoted to each one.  Each chakra is described with its mental, emotional, spiritual and physical actions and functions.  The colors, deities, crystals, mantras, yantras, yoga poses, sounds and herbs that effect and activate the chakra are also explained. The book is designed to make it super easy to jump to a specific chakra section by the color coded pages and by having the name of the chakra written on the side of each page with a corresponding highlighted chakra symbol. There is an interesting overview of the chakras in the first chapter, and the three chapters at the end of the book describe newly discovered chakras, chakras from other traditions, and how to practice energy healing.  This is a very accessible and easy to use book with a good amount of information on understanding and using the chakras for healing and well-being.

I just got this book last week, and I am thrilled with its clear information and simple layout. It's one of the most useful yoga books I've seen - and it has two things I find indispensable in a good yoga book: the Sanskrit names of the poses, and a good index.
