This book is about how to focus your yoga practice on the chakras and how to sense your subtle energy using postures, breath-work, mantras, imagery, and meditation. Early chapters introduce what chakra yoga is all about. Following chapters each focus on one of the 7 chakras and includes a medi-tation on sensing the subtle energy of that chakra before going on to the more physical yogic pose practices. Full posture sequences are included at the end of each chakra chapter.

Charge is a word for the basic life force running through us. This force is crucial if we are to meet challenges, heal past wounds and manage the stress of modern life. Even more, it is essential for mastering your own life force and becoming all you can be. World-renowned teacher, somatic therapist, bestselling author and advanced yoga teacher Anodea Judith, PhD, looks at charge as the interface between mind and body, and the missing ingredient in mind-body healing. Bringing the reader into a deep intimacy with their own life force, as well as an understanding of how charge runs their relationships, their children, their clients and their patients, this book examines how we can become 'overcharged' or 'undercharged' and how to create balance through practices of charging and discharging.

#1 New Release in New Age & Spirituality, Gaia Feminine EmpowermentPath of the Goddess: At the dawn of religion, God was a Woman. The Divine Feminine is known by innumerable names and symbol-rich manifestations across the world's cultures. Throughout the ages the Goddess has been honored and worshiped as the Virgin Mary, Isis, Inanna, Asherah, Diana, Kuan Yin, Kali, Oshun, Athena, Pele, Sarasvati, Demeter, and White Buffalo Calf Woman, to mention just a few. Many conceptions of the Goddess are mysterious and seemingly paradoxical. Yet at its source, the Divine Feminine is one. Goddess Power takes you on a fascinating and, at times, surprising journey into the enduring essence of the Divine Feminine. Inside this book you will learn: How the Goddess path offers an empowering message and inspiration The importance of re-establishing a healthy balance and integration of both the "masculine" and the "feminine" archetypes That the notion of God as archetypal "Sky-Father" is fairly recent in Western culture Why the wisdom of the Goddess/Sacred Feminine has been ignored, distorted, and oppressed for centuries How archetypes, mythic narratives, and qualities of Goddesses are alive within you and how they reveal intimate truths about yourself and others How Goddesses can serve as empowering guides in your personal and professional life Why especially black Goddesses/dark-skinned Mothers (e.g., Kali or Black Madonna) are a powerful symbol and catalyst for change in our times, both individually and collectively And much, much more!
