Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

I love the type of book that can provide deeper insight into what many people consider common knowledge. That's why I like Genevieve Lewis Paulson's Kundalini and the Chakras.

This book contains more than just information about the chakras and the kundalini energy that flows through them. It also includes amazing secrets such as the location of hundreds of chakras all over the body. It also explains their function and symptoms of problems with them. Included are easy and safe techniques which can help you to overcome any excess or lack of energy in the chakras.

Of course, it may be that you are not having any difficulties but simply want to keep your chakras balanced (you'll learn how, here) or develop them to a higher level (the book reveals techniques to do this), and how to charge them with the kundalini energy (instructions are included).

If an understanding of the power centers known as chakras and the universal life energy known as kundalini hasn't been part of your spiritual system in the past, you should consider making it part of your future. Many Western spiritual systems have either adopted the chakra system and its functioning or use a modified version of it. With the information in this book you can do the same. You can use it to expand your spirituality and your knowledge of your physical and non-physical bodies. Or you may simply choose to have a deeper understanding of the chakras and kundalini and how they might correspond to your own spiritual practices.

I have always found it interesting that many people have shared their experiences with kundalini and the chakras but few explain, in depth, how to work with them, develop them and use them. Kundalini and the Chakras really is different. It includes the theory and the methods for creating a healthier, happier more energetic future. I hope you will take advantage of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Explains mysteries into every day language and awareness., May 23, 1999

This review is from: Kundalini & the Chakras: Evolution in this Lifetime (Llewellyn's new age series) (Paperback)

No longer are we afforded the luxury of living in a monastery/ashram etc in order to work on our spiritual growth. This book helps you to work with your own evolutionary (kundalini) energy and still raise a family, work a job and have a life. The meditations are easy for even the least disciplined person. The explainations of how to move this energy through your body for greater healing work better than any I have found so far. One of the best spiritual practice books I've read in the last 30 years!

This review is from: Kundalini & the Chakras: Evolution in this Lifetime (Llewellyn's new age series) (Paperback)

This is a clear and beautifull written book. The book in itself is a teacher and guide of the Kundalini energy. No more secrecy about this energy, it's written all in this book and how to release it yourself. I had some awesome Kundalini releases by reading this book and it guided me through every single experience and I felt safe and comfortable!

This review is from: Kundalini & the Chakras: Evolution in this Lifetime (Llewellyn's new age series) (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book, and continue to do so. It is written clearly and simply, without a lot of convoluted psycho-babble and over-"hinduized" analogies.

Kundalini is a real energy force, as are the chakra "wheels." Whether the Hindus claim Kundalini for themselves, or the Buddhists or Christians...it makes no difference. Incorporating Kundalini energy work into one's specific religion is a choice all are free to make. However, it must be kept in mind that Kundalini, separate and apart from all religious implications, is not (or should not be considered) a religion unto itself. It is more closely alligned with scientific truths, as Western medicine is at long last beginning to recognize.

This book is a good place to start if you are interested in learning more about the awesome potential that lies within us all. There is no dogma attached, which is refreshing to someone like me. From this book one can dive into other more reference-oriented books on the subject.
