The Chakras: A Monograph

The Chakras A Monograph by C. W. Leadbeater is a foundational Theosophical work introducing the chakra system from a Western esoteric perspective. Drawing on clairvoyant observations Leadbeater describes each chakra’s location color function and role in spiritual development. He explains how chakras relate to subtle bodies, psychic abilities and the flow of kundalini energy. Though not based on traditional Indian sources the book strongly influenced modern Western understandings of chakras and remains a key text in occult and New Age spirituality
