A practical guide to working with the body's subtle energy through the chakras. The text explains how to keep your chakras balanced and healthy with diet, exercise, colour and meditation, through step-by-step routines and detailed charts and pictures. In the book, the author uncovers the links between Eastern theories of kundalini energy and western knowledge of how the physical body works. It describes the connection between the fight or flight hormones and the base chakra of survival; how the solar plexus chakra, where we sense stress, anxiety and "butterflies" in the stomach, relates to the pancreas; and how an imbalance in any of the chakras shows in physical complaints, emotional imbalance and mental disturbances, as well as existential or spiritual anxiety.
