Conceived as a training course on the Chakras, this book explains what the Chakras are, what their history is, what kind of cosmology supports them and how to take care of them. Different insights from science as well as psychological and philosophical traditions - like Tantra - are studied in the book in order to give a global understanding of the chakras. Furthermore, additional chapters discuss traumas and addictions, and their relation to Yoga and the Chakras. This is not a book about how to heal your chakras. The aim of this book is to describe the Chakras as well as possible, to make them really understood by those who have a special interest in them.
