This fascinating book explores the specific nature and symbolism of each chakra, showing that the path of the chakras is the path of self-actualization. The author uses examples from his practical experience to link Jung's message of individuation to the energy flow of the chakra system. Simple physical exercises are used as daily meditations to open the interpretive strength of the chakra symbols. The color of the chakras and the experience of personal chakra animals support a spiritual and therapeutic process. The author also shows that the path of the chakras corresponds to the inner structure of some fairy tales and Biblical texts specifically showing the chakra path as the path of Jesus and presenting the Lords Prayers as a chakra meditation. Ultimately, the path of the chakras is the path of becoming whole, the path of life for each of us.
