Way of Chakras by Caroline Shola Arewa

By Davey Winder View Profile
The popularising of Yoga in recent years, coupled with the fashionable status of Eastern religion thanks to a celebrity fascination with Buddhism, more and more people have heard of chakras. Unfortunately, less and less know what they are actually are and how both understanding and working with them can unlock your spiritual growth and physical well-being. What is needed is a straightforward and accessible book that can both educate and enlighten the reader, being as inspiring, as it is practical. For me, that book is Way of Chakras. 'They are your very essence. They are wheels of vibrating light that bring inner wisdom and knowledge' - as you can see, Caroline Shola Arewa has a gift for explaining complex spiritual concepts easily and without ever patronising the reader. She is just as much a teacher as she is a guide, and by the end of the book I dare you not to understand exactly what and where your chakras are and how you can work with them to move further down the road of personal and spiritual empowerment. Having studied Vajrayana, the Tibetan Tantric Buddhism path, even I could not help but be drawn in by her magical prose. But this is not really a book for those already well travelled along the spiritual path, it is for those who lack direction and need the help of a learned guide. Logical in approach, rich in diagrammatic illustration and a joy to read, this is the ideal book for those moments of calm in your life. Read it; understand it and put its teachings into practise and you'll soon have many more of them to enjoy.
