Description
The teachings of the Hindu and other mystic traditions hold that man's super-physical bodies contain subtle organs that channel vital forces and psychic energy, acting as a bridge between the physical, psychic, and super-physical levels of consciousness. The Sanskrit term for these centers is Chakra, which means wheels or discs. Clairvoyant investigators have seen and described the Chakras, which have been compared to flowers with numerous petals, as wheel-like vortices that emerge in vibrant colors like burning, coruscating whirlpools. This 1927 book by C. W. Leadbeater details his investigations into the nature and purposes of the Chakras. Since then, it has been reprinted multiple times and is now considered a classic in its area. The piece is depicted.
