- Book Synopsis
- Based on the teachings of Indian Tantra, the chakras have been used for centuries as focal points for healing, meditation and achieving a gamut of physical, emotional and spiritual benefits, from improved health to ultimate enlightenment. Contemporary yoga teachers, energy healers, psychics and self-help devotees think of the chakra system as thousands of years old. Yet the most common version in use in the West today came together as recently as 1977, the result of an unintentional, century-long collaboration between Esotericists, Clairvoyants, Scholars of Indian philosophy, Mythologists, Psychologists, Yogis and Energy healers. Never before has the story been told of how the Western chakra system developed from its roots in Indian Tantra, through Blavatsky to Leadbeater, Steiner to Alice Bailey, Jung to Joseph Campbell, Ramakrishna to Aurobindo and Esalen to Shirley MacLaine and Barbara Brennan. If you've ever had questions about inconsistencies between chakra systems or wondered where the names, colours, locations and other associations came from - you'll find the answers here, along with 24 tables and 28 black-and-white illustrations showing how the Western chakra system developed from the mid-19th through the 20th century, many from rare and forgotten sources.
