CREDITS
These charts have been constructed from many sources, specifically to aid
counselors, energy workers, and other mental health practitioners in integrating
knowledge of the chakra system into daily practice. These are reference guides
only. Many reference sources have been used, some in the form of web sites,
easily accessed by clicking on the URL. However, I would be remiss without
mentioning that a great deal of the information as well as the format for the charts
came from the work of Anodea Judith, PhD. in the two books pictured below.
Anodea was the person who introduced me to chakra therapy, and although we
have both grown and developed our own methods, the foundation for my work is
largely based on what I learned from her during the three years that she was my
mentor, teacher and friend. I highly recommend The Sevenfold Journey as a
self-help book full of activities to strengthen all of the chakras. Eastern Body,
Western Mind is more of a thorough, academic reference book – one that I feel
should be in the library of all mental health professionals. It is the bridge
between the esoteric world of energy, and the mainstream world of counseling
and psychotherapy.

CREDITS These charts have been constructed from many sources, specifically to aid counselors, energy workers, and other mental health practitioners in integrating knowledge of the chakra system into daily practice. These are reference guides only. Many reference sources have been used, some in the form of web sites, easily accessed by clicking on the URL. However, I would be remiss without mentioning that a great deal of the information as well as the format for the charts came from the work of Anodea Judith, PhD. in the two books pictured below. Anodea was the person who introduced me to chakra therapy, and although we have both grown and developed our own methods, the foundation for my work is largely based on what I learned from her during the three years that she was my mentor, teacher and friend. I highly recommend The Sevenfold Journey as a self-help book full of activities to strengthen all of the chakras. Eastern Body, Western Mind is more of a thorough, academic reference book – one that I feel should be in the library of all mental health professionals. It is the bridge between the esoteric world of energy, and the mainstream world of counseling and psychotherapy. http://sacredcenters.com
