A basic introduction to chakras with a guided meditation at the end to help familiarize yourself and align them. Or at least be aware of them. Simple but helpful. A good place to start

[Mcarthur Albert]

This is just what it appears to be. A beginners guide to Chakra’s gives you the fundamental understanding of the energy system within the body complete with a short meditation to help you realign and balance your Chakra system while you listen along. I don’t know that there is any other form other than an audio book where this would work but if you can set aside a few moments to follow along, I can say that it is a tremendous help. I went on a slow meditative walk while listening to ensure I’d stay awake the entire time. The background ambience makes falling asleep an almost given.

Do I think chakras are a thing? I'm a skeptic, but this helped me understand the concept and I find the topic interesting. I think it's useful as a meditation tool, to bring focus to parts of the body and the emotions or mental blocks that may be associated with each part. It's a good visualization tool to add to my meditation practice. The guided meditation in the second half is great and takes you through a full body scan via the chakras.

[Dara]

It was interesting the second half seemed to be designed to be a guided meditation but I had difficulty getting into it as children were running through the house screaming at the same time. I would have preferred something a little longer and more than a page or two on each chakra. Definitely a beginners guide.

[Faith Tydings]

This is a really informative and relaxing audiobook...and really short, too! I will definitely be listening again because there is a lot of information here that doesn't all get digested in one sitting.

[Maureen E]

Nice meditation to listen to during a quiet time.
Good overview of the chakra system.
I’m vaguely familiar with it and interested to know more.
The audio version is the way to go… so you can close your eyes and be guided through the systems.

[Kathryn McGraw]

Pretty simplistic but a good beginners guide.

[Megha Sehgal]

It's a pretty short audiobook. Has around 40 minutes of content followed by an awesome 30 minute guided meditation.

[Jeremy Moot]

4.5⭐
I mean, it's a guided meditation with educational material along the way. And it's done well.

[Debra Weisberg]

It was a good explanation of chakras and how our bodies and minds are affected.

[Hannah Jane]

three words: stained glass windows

[Nick]

Nice intro book which was the first part, then a guided meditative quick scan through the body from the root up to the crown. Interesting and a bit different from how I learned about the 7 chakras.

[Shevon Quijano]

I'm new to the concept of chakras and was interested in reading a simple synopsis of the subject. This was just that. I really enjoyed the guided meditation portion at the end.
