It’s been a few years since I started practicing healing using various Chakra Healing Books, and I am still astonished by the effectiveness of some of these books. If you’re also beginning to practice Chakra healing and need guidance, I have handpicked the best Chakra books for you!

The books on chakras I’m about to mention have gained wide recognition from people worldwide, and some have even received accolades from experts and therapists. My list of books about chakras includes options for people without knowledge of the Chakra system and for people who want in-depth information about the same.

So, let’s explore the list together. 

List Of 11 Best Chakra Healing Books For Your Overall Healing 

Here are the best Chakra healing books for you to check out. I am only giving you the best, so you do not have to read the bad books.

1. Wheels Of Life: A User’s Guide To The Chakra System By Anodea Judith

Wheels Of Life by Anodea has gained immense popularity as the most detailed and significant book about Chakra healing. Wheels Of Life is written in straightforward language so everyone can understand it easily. It’s a 400+ page long book with many visuals, such as pictures and diagrams, to explain the Chakra healing process.

2. The Chakra Bible By Patricia Mercier 

Patricia Mercier takes a different approach to explaining the Chakra healing system. The author says each Chakra has a specific color associated with it. The book discusses the color codes and various crystals we can use to get the most out of our Chakra healing practices. I learned that chakras are our body’s main energy centers, and they can significantly affect our overall well-being. Hence, knowing how to align our Chakras is a must.

Apart from explaining the existing Chakras, Patricia mentions some new energy centers that have been discovered recently. He states that these new energy centers are associated with the existing Chakras and that our emotional and mental well-being is connected to them.

3. Eastern Body, Western Mind: Psychology And The Chakra System As A Path To The Life By Anodea Judith 

Anodea Judith is a popular therapist and energy healer. Her books on Chakra healing are also very popular, so this list of the best Chakra healing books includes another one by her. The Eastern Body, Western Mind is an in-depth guide to the Chakra system. Reading this book will help you learn in detail about your energy wheels.

4. The Book Of Chakras By Ambika Wauters 

If you are unfamiliar with the Chakra system, Ambika Wauters’s Book of Chakras is the best book to start with. The book explains the Chakra system and how it works in simple language. Reading it will help you understand that stress, illness, and other symptoms we consider pretty standard are caused by an imbalanced Chakra system.

The book will help you analyze whether your Chakra system is working correctly. If not, what areas should you focus on? Please note that the Book of Chakras contains many references to Christianity. People with different religious views or those who don’t believe in religious practices may be unable to relate to some concepts. 

5. Chakra Foods For Optimum Health By Deanna M. Minich 

You may not realize that your eating habits significantly affect your Chakras. Chakra Foods For Optimum Health is another easy-to-read book with a slight hint of humor. The author beautifully explains the relationship between food and Chakras and reveals how particular foods can balance them.

This is a book of meditation and visualization techniques for clearing Chakra blockage. It explains everything about the chakras in layman’s terms and how to use them to activate one’s inborn healing powers. The book also comes with a CD player. There is a morning and evening meditation track for intensive Chakra cleansing.

The book goes beyond simply explaining the Chakra healing method, It’s much more than that, so it’s my favorite Chakras book. Doreen Virtue guides us on how to call upon the angels for even greater guidance and protection. He talks about the association of the Chakras with universal power. The author gives several easy and complex examples of Chakra cleaning so everyone can practice them. 

Note: Religious beliefs also play a major role in Chakra Clearing By Doreen Virtue, hence, atheists may be unable to relate to some concepts. 

7. The Anatomy Of Spirit By Caroline Myss  

This book is also more spiritual. The author discusses spiritual, emotional, and physical healing and their connection to the Chakra system. The book references the Hindu, Kabbalah, and Christian religions. These references help us understand the underlying reasons behind some diseases, stress, or any distress.

Chakradance is a combination of Chakras, meditation, Yoga, and dance. Yoga and meditation are closely related to the Chakras, and when combined well, they can produce marvelous results. The author combines the energy & vibration of the Chakras with that of dance to balance and activate our energy systems. Chakradance is best for people who want to practice Yoga and meditation but lack patience or flexibility.

Chakradance does not want you to sit still or practice complicated Yoga poses. Chakradance is a more creative way of balancing the Chakras and achieving a healthier, happier, and more calming state of mind. Natalie gives multiple examples from her life and people worldwide who benefited from the moving meditation.

How Does Chakra Healing Work? 

Originating in India, Chakra healing has been a part of the Vedic period since ancient times. Every human has energy centers or energy Chakras, which have tremendous power. 

The Sanskrit word Chakra means a wheel or disc. As I mentioned, these wheels are nothing but energy centers, and when these Chakras stay balanced, our bodies and minds function at their best. Blocked Chakras may lead to physical, emotional, and mental imbalances. If we can control our energy and chakras, we can lead our lives as we desire.

Moreover, we can also use our Chakras to heal from any distress.

So, how does the Chakra healing work? We have seven main Chakras: the Crown Chakra, Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, Heart Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, & Root Chakra. When you align these Chakras through meditation, they can heal you from any disease or remove any obstacle in your way.

The books I listed above explain in detail how you can activate your chakras and use them for your own benefit. 

Mindvalley, one of the world’s most famous personal transformation platforms, also has a Chakra healing quest called Duality by Jeffery Allen. The pursuit also helps you learn a lot about the Chakra healing system.
