This is one of the best books ever published on the chakras.It is very well written,and covers the subject of the chakras with great care and insight.This book is very easy to read,without sacrificing any of the esoteric wisdom.This is a beautiful little book with new updated color plates of the chakras,written by C.W.Leadbeater, one of the greatest clairvoyants,theosophists,and 33 degree freemasons of any age.Highly recommended.
Very enjoyable read!
 You need to be immersed in Theosophy to understand this book October 28, 2006
I've seen this book in many bookstores and libraries, but never got around to reading it. You'll only find this book to be interesting if you're already immersed in the works of the Theosophy writers like Madame Blatavsky, Annie Besant, and Leadbeater himself. There's a lot of jargon and arcane terminology in this book, such as "the Three Outpourings," "the Third Aspect of the Logos," etc., and very little usable advice as to how the chakra system could have a practical impact on one's life.

One of the best books I have ever read on the Chakra system and how integral it is to our vital energy force. After reading this book, you won't want to be "stuck" anymore!
The classic book on the Chakras! June 13, 2005
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
If you ever wanted a serious and reputable book on the Chakras, then look no further because Leadbeater's classic book covers everything you need to know fundamentally about them.
He not only talks about the chakras, but also about the different energies of man, the subtle bodies, the multi-dimensional universe etc. His findings are completely Hindu based, with the various contributions from Theosophy, Buddhism and medieval Christianity, all interwoven with pictures, diagrams and charts.
Oh! How extremely vital it is for modern society to know the hidden system of man's anatomy!
This book is a perfect and necessary complement to Samael Aun Weor's great book "Endocrinology and Criminology", which examines the chakras from a scientific/philosophic standpoint and how they relate to the endocrine system, nervous systems and the many aspects of human psychology.
Forget about all the "New Age" pseudo-info on spiritual issues and matters and remember the true pioneers of the Occult like Blavatsky, Steiner, Heindel, Manly P. Hall, Besant...and Leadbeater.
A good first read on the spiritual topic of the chakras. August 15, 2000

This book is important as a Western account of what is essentially an Eastern concept. The chakras are very important energy centres in humans, and are used in meditation and in cognition of the inner worlds. Leadbeater's book is fairly easy to read, and has really good colour illustrations which have since been often quoted and reproduced many times over the last 70 years. This book was written in the 1920s when the subject was little known in the Western world. Much of the material was obviously obtained from Hinduism, as the chakras are easy to see illustrated in temples in India. I must say I prefer Dr Hiroshi Motoyama's more comprehensive and recent book, but Leadbeater really did pave the way with this one. I recommend it and give it five stars in the historical and useful context. It's a great introduction to the subject.
