In the ancient science of tantra, the human body is viewed as the most perfect

instrument for the expression of consciousness, a perfection realized through

the development of psychic centers known as chakras. Located within the

cerebrospinal system, the chakras are the stage upon which the interaction

between higher consciousness and desire is played out. Consequently, it is

through understanding and utilizing the energies of the chakras that we

ultimately reach an enlightened state of being.

In _Chakras_ , Indian scholar and tantra practitioner Harish Johari introduces

the classical principles of the chakras as well as their practical application

for today. In this expanded edition, complete with new art and text, he

unfolds the mysteries of these subtle centers of transformation with

visualization techniques essential to a fully realized tantric practice.

Unlike other books in its field, _Chakras_ provides the tools to activate

these centers of transformative energy and elevate one's intellectual

knowledge to an experience of spiritual growth.

Meditating on the beautiful, full-color illustrations of each chakra vitalizes

the cerebrospinal centers and harmonizes the entire system both physically and

psychically. Explanations of each chakra elaborate on the chakra's connection

to elements, colors, sounds, sense and work organs, desires, planets and

deities, as well as on behavioral characteristics and particular effects of

meditation. For scholars and spiritual aspirants of every level, _Chakras_ is

an invaluable, practical source of information and techniques.
