Chakra Rituals: Awakening the Wild Woman Within
Cristi Christensen's Chakra Rituals is a book that makes the ancient science of Chakras accessible to spiritually conscious women, and offers a seven-week step-by-step program.
Learn how to tap into the single most perfect system living inside of each of us--the seven Chakras.
While Chakras have become trendy, sexy, cool, and very spiritual, few people today really know how to activate the Chakras' powerful energy for deep transformation. Cristi Christensen aims to change that, and Chakra Rituals offers readers a multi-dimensional, practical, and inspiring structured seven-week step-by-step program. Each week, readers are instructed how to activate a different Chakra, and each weekday they are led through a dynamic, easy, and motivating practice (altar building; breathing; meditation; vinyasa yoga flow, mudra, writing contemplation, and embodiment) which distills the esoteric concepts and makes them tangible, living experiences. A self-discovery and self-help guide with striking full-color illustrations, Chakra Rituals employs the Chakras' potential to open the pathways to a full, enlightened "aliveness." Seasoned practitioners and newcomers alike are invited to flow with their emotions, claim their power, transform their lives, and align with the divine.

I highly recommend this book! For someone who has over the last 20 years only dabbled in yoga and meditation, I think Cristi brings the practice to joyful life through this beautifully written and illustrated book. Worth reading over and over!

Chakras, crystals and spirituality have all bee hot topics recently. Maybe it’s because we’ve all be stuck at home and looking for ways to better ourselves and pass the time, whatever it is I know we’ve all needed a change and there’s something to the energy flow in the body that helps us when it’s not stuck.
Whether you’re healing from past trauma or looking for ways to get healthy and live a truer life that connects your being to the work around us, you’ll find this book to be the answer you’ve been looking for.
It reads more like a workbook that takes you on a journey of self on an internal level. Learn how to control the energy and help it flow where it’s stuck, I promise you this is a wonderfully perfect book that comes at the best time possible.

A comprehensive guide on chakras, mudras, yoga poses, writing contemplation, breath work, grounding and so much more. This book is chock full of helpful information if you are unfamiliar with the chakra system, and even if you are there is so much to this book. I enjoyed the chakra cheat sheets, the pictures of the yoga poses are extremely helpful to those that may not practice yoga a regular basis. This is definitely a worthwhile book to utilize step by step, day by day. There are rituals in the process of learning, absorbing, and practicing said information. Overall, a very good book!

This book is broken down into 7 Chakaras, each with a different theme. I followed the recommendations in the book to do one Chakara per week.
I really enjoyed the mudras in this book and the information/space for reflection. The pictures are very helpful to show each mudra. A good guide for connecting with your inner self!

I don’t know where to even start with this book, I love it soooo much! I’ll start by saying that this book is my saving grace, and Cristi’s words are a love song + the medicine that I’ve needed for so long..
I devoured everything inside of it -as I couldn’t hold back- and now I can’t wait to read it through again, very slowly, and put all of the practices into play over the course of several weeks, (as it was designed to be digested, integrated and practiced.)
Chakra Rituals is written so beautifully, so honestly and with such incredible knowledge and insight, it is impossible to put down the book without gaining significance from each page.
I can hear fire-cracker-Cristi, coming through the pages in her empowered, articulate, and vulnerable voice. She gives us real life experience, deep sacred knowledge of yogic practice, powerful goddess inspiration and a clear & beautiful path of healing that includes personal stories, mudras, chants, poses, breath work, conscious self-exploratory writing prompts and more… All this juicy goodness is wrapped up in a rainbow array of colorful pages to help us align our chakras, embody our beings and remember that it is our birthright to be the Wild Women that we are!
I am grateful to have this beautiful book on my healing path and I will forever refer back to it + share it with my wild women!
A must “read” (+ so much more than that!)

If you need a breath of fresh air in your personal transformation practice, Chakra Rituals is a wonderful interactive experience! Cristi gives so much knowledge and beautiful exercises for you. I have many Chakra books from my years of teaching movement and transformation, and I'm adding this book to the reading list for my teacher trainings. Bravo!

I started reading this book and found a few typos, I continued to read but found more typos. I can not finish this book as there are so many typos.

My wild woman adventure and discovery started back in 2016 when I first met and encountered Cristi. During my YTT in Bali, her teachings were inspiring - she captured my attention in a way no person had in my 28 years of life. During our morning self practice I would find myself captivated by her movement, she was so beautiful in the way she moved. When Cristi taught or spoke I was mesmerized, I knew than that this wild woman was changing my perspective on woman I wanted to embody and who I wanted to be.
After my first Deep Exhale class I was over taken with the idea I could feel so open, that I could be worthy of this empowerment, accepting love and peace coming into my life. Cristi awoken a part of me I never thought would be possible, following her around the world any chance I get. Because of her guidance I choose to live more freely, open and ready for each day. Now I have the perfect guidance to dig deep into each Chakra and continue my growth.
Cristi introduced me to the Chakra's and her book is so beautiful and clearly written, that opening up my own wild self is in bloom.
This is the book that you need to dive deep into your own power - from the original Wild Woman herself.

CHAKRA RITUALS - AWAKENING THE WILD WOMAN WITHIN by Cristi Christensen
This system/science dates back to over 4,000 years ago. It came from the ancient Yogis if India.
There are 7 Chakras from the bottom of your feet to the tippy top of your head.
They are wheels or circles ( of light, energy, portals and doorways)
There's meditation, levels of embodiment, currents of power, yogi-centric rituals, altar building, breathing exercises,
While this book is meant to be a 7-week journey, step-by-step, week-to-week through the 7 Chakras one week for each Chakra, I cheated and read ahead till the end. It's very new age and crystals, healing and empowerment.
I think the book is well put together- if you are willing & able to put in the time for these practices and open-minded and looking for 'Spiritual Healing And Empowerment" , then I recommend Chakra Rituals for you.
I myself couldn't get into it for personal religious reasons.
CHAKRA rituals(dot com) also has a website where you can download helpful stuff.
Thank you! to Goodreads Giveaway, the author, and St. Martin's Press for the chance to read an early copy!

Such a joy to hold this book in my hands! It's beautifully written with gorgeous images!
Cristi offers practices and rituals that are easy to understand and access - even for beginners! I appreciate how Cristi offers her heartfelt personal experience and guides the reader through a fun and deep journey through the chakras.
One of the highlights of the book is the 7 day journey through each chakra which merges the esoteric with the contemporary and gave me so many options to try from asana practice to meditations to contemplative writings to altar building to pranayama to mudras, mantras and more.
I actually loved flipping through the chapters (they are color coordinated by the rainbow chakra colors) and picking a chakra to explore and immerse through these ancient energy practices.
I've read many books and taken even more workshops on the chakras over the past 20 years and this book is an empowering map to live your truest, fullest and most vibrant life. I highly recommend it!

To say that this book is amazing is an understatement! The way Cristi is able to explain each chakra and then have you connect with each one is truly powerful. As you’re participating in each day’s activity, whether it’s creating your alter, movement exercises, breath work, meditation, etc, you are not only reading about each chakra, you are embodying it . You are truly becoming a part of and living in the essence of each chakra . It is then that you can truly feel how each chakra works and how it becomes a part of your daily life. It’s also great that Cristi has audio and video recordings of the exercises as well. Her voice is soothing and inviting, wanting to take you along for this journey, helping you tap into this part of you, that’s life changing. I can not recommend this book enough!

I have read several books about the chakra and on meditation. Some have been informative on the history or philosophy behind meditation and the understanding of the chakras. This book is the first one to ever give me tangible instruction on how to implement that meditation into my daily life. Cristi fills her book with rituals, step by step meditations, and yoga routinea that you can easily bring into your practice. Not everyone has the luxury of going to a guided meditation retreat or has access to a resident Yogi to learn from. Cristi has created a book that brings that instructive experience to the reader.

Light up the fire within you! Chakra rituals has been a profound spiritual read, great for anyone new or interested in aligning the energy with the self and the universe. Her words are full of energy just like all of the colorful pages she has with yoga poses included in the chapters. Forget mainstream and learn from real Sanskrit teachings for the western mind!
Cristi is an evangelist and ambassador for global yogi organizations, with rich knowledge taken from 20 years of studying chakras. Great read for the wild women within All!

I've followed Cristi for years as a yoga teacher. She has always inserted pearls of wisdom into her classes. Often referring to the Chakra system. I've also had the pleasure of working close with her and witnessed her truly practicing these very rituals and doing tons of writing. She's the real deal, truly inspirational and I whole heartedly believe in what she teaches and that these practices will work for anyone who gives them a chance. So proud of her and happy her magic is being shared with the world. ~MW

I met Cristi in person and from the first second she inspired me with her aura. I didn't knew how much she was into these topics of spirituality and chakras. I was practicing with her online programs, where I could meditate with her and later my husband ordered a version of this beautiful book for me. I really loved to dive deeper in the knowledge and really can recommend Cristis work to everyone. If you get the chance to meet her in person, do it. Thank you Cristi for your lovely being. Wish you all the best!

I absolutely fell in love with this book. It is inspirational, motivational, and healing for whatever one needs to be healed. Christensen wrote this book with so much love, power, and depth whilst still allowing it to be easy to follow along due to the clarity in which she clearly was channeling as she wrote it. I have read a multitude of books on the chakra system and this one is my absolute favorite!

Comprehensive and practical, chakras explained for everyone

I have already read and lived Chakra system Awakening and Empowerment experiences before, but this book takes you further. Rituals, breathing, yoga, detailed explanations and extra material through videos and audios.
I totally recommend it!

This is a book I will be gifting to all the wild woman in my life!

This book is amazing! I've learned about and studied the chakras for a number of years, but realized while working through this book, that it had really been on an intellectual level. The way Cristi outlines this book and presents the practices deepened my understanding and relationship with the chakras on a whole new experiential and embodied level. I can't recommend it enough!
