A beautiful full-colour deck of chakra meditation cards, with accompanying booklet, that skilfully guides readers in how to harness the power of their own subtle energy to bring more joy, calm and contentment into their lives.
In Indian healing philosophy, chakras are hubs for the vital energy that flows through our body. If the subtle energy at these centres becomes blocked, both emotional and physical well-being can suffer.
This vibrant deck includes 49 cards that offer a range of ways to meditate on, and therefore tune into, the seven main chakras that run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head - restoring balance and optimal well-being:
root, or muladhara, chakra - to promote stability and groundedness
sacral, or swadhistana, chakra - to increase flexibility, flow and creativity
solar plexus, or manipura, chakra - to build willpower and enable transformation
heart, or anahata, chakra - to enhance love, joy and the capacity to reach out to others
throat , or vishuddha, chakra - to encourage self-expression and new ideas
brow, or ajna, chakra - to develop wisdom, intuition and seeing the bigger picture
crown, or sahasrara, chakra - to bring about more freedom and connection
Each set of seven cards is illustrated with an inspiring, full-colour image symbolic of that chakra. And an accompanying booklet offers guidance on both the far-reaching power of chakra meditation and on how to choose the best card(s) to work with when. An invaluable companion for anyone seeking to tap into their full energetic potential.
'One of the ultimate states that can be hoped for is peace of mind and this new release by Watkins might just bring this ideal state a little closer to everyone who buys it. This attractive set of cards, which comes complete with an explanatory booklet, is an absolute must-read for anybody who has even had a fleeting whim to explore the chakras. This is no airy-fairy romp designed for ‘New Agers’ with some foreknowledge of the subject, instead it is clear, concise and easy to read. The author (and teacher) Swami Saradanada wisely takes the time to explain and teach every aspect of chakras and explains the principles of energy being connected to and flowing through the three types of bodies, the physical, astral (encompassing the soul, spirit and the subconscious) and the ‘seed body’ (karma, past, deep unconsciousness). As is explained clearly in the booklet, meditating on chakras means exploring consciousness as a whole, positive and activating its power to bring balance and well-being to one’s life. This is a set of meditations that could permanently change how you see yourself and the world around you; marvellous!' - Phenomena Magazine
