The Chakra System

A Complete Course in Self-Diagnosis and Healing

By: Anodea Judith

Narrated by: Anodea Judith

Length: 7 hrs and 56 mins

Publisher's summary

Through her pioneering work with the chakra system, Anodea Judith has mapped the striking connections between the yogic healing arts and modern psychology as well as demonstrated how a combination of both can be dramatically more effective than using either one alone. In The Chakra System, listeners join Judith in 12 sessions of personal one-on-one guidance to learn how to use the seven chakras, or energy centers, to strengthen and focus their personal power, improve intimate relationships, enhance intuition, and enter into their highest spiritual wisdom.

What, exactly, does it feel like when a chakra is deficient, excessive, or blocked? Can our early life experiences affect the energetic patterns that shape our physical and emotional well-being as adults? If so, how do we clear these blockages? Anodea Judith addresses these and many other issues using the same proven meditations, visualizations, and moving postures taught in her acclaimed chakra seminars. Even for people who have studied the chakra system for years, one question often remains: How do I actually work with the chakras to assist in healing? With The Chakra System, Anodea Judith responds with the first guided audio learning course about chakra work - the ultimate curriculum for tapping the hidden energy matrix of the body.

*Western* Chakra Concepts

If you like applying psychology and Western concepts to your approach to the chakra system, then you'll like this. I had heard her touted as the authority on chakras but I was disappointed. Her approach is very Western and I'd hoped to learn about the Chakras in the context of their Indian origins and how to apply traditional Indian/Vedic insights and practiced to help myself. There are a lot of guided meditations and lots of the vocabulary is typical New Age language; lots of grounding, ego, love, transcending, self, creativity, transpersonal stuff, archetypes, etc. If those terms do it for you, then you'll probably get a lot out of this book.

If you are looking for the real deal on chakras, look to the source, the original documents about them. This book has inspired me to study Sanskrit for myself and has raised even more doubts in my mind about how grounded many Western authors are in the original teachings of the chakras. Most of what we get in English is only Vedic by distant reference. Sadly, I didn't find this course an exception.

All that said, she does a great job in speaking and guiding meditations. She comes across as a kind, caring, insightful person. She makes many points that are helpful for introspection. If you're into New Age, eclectic, modern spirituality you'll probably really like this. I don't like giving negative reviews, so want to make sure readers know she's high quality as a speaker and teacher, it's just what she teaches is very Western, as opposed to Indian/Vedic. I'm looking for the latter. Gonna have to roll up my sleeves and do it myself.

wonderful presentation

Where does The Chakra System rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Of all the audio books on chakras, this by far the most accessible presentation on all aspects of the chakra system, including how to begin to heal. First class presentation.
The best of the best!!!!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No I wanted to thoroughly follow each and every suggestion.

Any additional comments?

Do not leave this book behind!!

I will listen to this many more times...

Excellent and engaging book about the chakras that will serve as a reference for me going forward. Thorough and thoughtful!

Great book

Would you listen to The Chakra System again? Why?

Yes I plan to listen to it again to get the full benefit of the book.

Any additional comments?

Great book with interesting explanation. It would have been helpful to have the guide of the postures she references towards the end of the book.

Full with insights

Great source of insight to guide your transformation into your true self. A treasure. Peace

Great for falling asleep

The book is very well narrated, and the reader comes off as kind. Unfortunately that’s about it. The book’s content is blatantly superficial. The ideas it tries to portray seem as if they were googled. Overall it lacks the “fire in the belly” it so carefully describes

Thorough overview & of chakras.

What does Anodea Judith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Since she's narrating her own book, you can hear the passion & education that she brings to the text. Great reading voice and teacher.

Any additional comments?

Includes meditations & an overview of each of the 7 main chakras, including the developmental timing & what is affected by each. We all have chakras & it's fascinating to get a window into these energy centers through this book.

Fascinating and helpful

This is one of the most interesting books on health and spirituality I have ever read. I wish I had gotten it years ago. The only reason I haven't put 5 stars everywhere is that I'm only halfway. So far there have been many places that I've had to pause and reflect, to absorb new concepts. If you believe you are a spiritual being manifesting with a physical body, buy this book - it's like getting an owner's manual to your mind/body! It's wonderful so far and I'm really glad I bought it.

great intro to chakras!

I will definitely listen again to take notes on the exercises and meanings of each chakra!

Life changing book.

Life changing book. I wasn't at all expecting this kind of experience. Congratulations to the author.

Good book no doubt .. but incomplete without guide

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

This is undoubtfully good book however author ask to refer guideline book which is not available and makes incomplete book….

More Than Chakras

This audiobook is so much more than the study & understanding of chakras. It is very much a personal development and self-help book exploring childhood psychology and much more. Well read by the author with music, guided meditation and including pdf reference material. A great introduction to chakras for beginners and yet a deep psychological insight into balancing & healing for seasoned chakra professionals!

Excellent

A very informative talking book which most certainly will help me in my self healing practice and holistic health business to.
Thank you.

Great Audio

Great audio but no reference book as
Mentioned in the description. I would have preferred to have the guide to work through.

Anodea explains the Chakra System brilliant!

Anodea Judith explains the Chakra System brilliantly. She relates it to who we are, how we become who we are and how to re-balance who we are. This book brings a clarity to the Chakra's that make perfect sense. I strongly recommend this book.

Amazing book

This book is simple to understand. Has passion and has given me insight into Chakras I never knew.

Average

What did you like most about The Chakra System?

at the end of the book, I know we have 7 of them and roughly an idea of their purposes

Would you ever listen to anything by Anodea Judith again?

hmm possibly - her voice is very soothing

What does Anodea Judith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

feeling the chakras

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

none

Any additional comments?

the book could be more detailed but in simpler words per chakra

Excellent! Absolutely soul touching! Soul inspiring

I really enjoyed the audiobook from beginning to end. I will keep on enjoying it because it's an audiobook that takes a long time to absorb. It's deep metaphoric meaning only touched the surface and each time it will drawer you deeper. A very good audio because it is mostly practical. Shines light on a very difficult topic!

Love LOVE ❤️ This book is excellent x

Only you can read it / listen to it to determine how it resonates for you - but I’d recommend you give it a try. I found this book to be immensely brilliant - thoughtful, insightful and so illuminating. Full of brilliant reflective / meditative exercises to facilitate self awareness and self understanding as well as objectivity and compassion. Thank you so much Anodea Judith 💕❤️🙏🏻🙌🏻

brilliant

Absolutely loved this book!! I found myself saying uh huh alot of the way through. Reader of book sounded lovely as did the music. Content very beneficial and I will have to make time to listen to again. Author brings the #chakras together at the end wonderfully. I can see how I can incorporate this into my #massage career. Thank you so much.

I look forward to doing the chakra exercises!
