Chakras. The name conjures up an image of a human body with seven swirling energy points along the spine, each one of the colors of the rainbow. But what are chakras all about? What do they represent? How does one work with them? This book starts from the beginning and goes step by step, chakra by chakra, through the system of energy, or prana. It explains what symbols and crystals are associated with each one, and how to use them to work toward better health. Namaste. This book Chakras for Yoga Meditation and Stress Relief is intended to be free on all systems, to help those who are in need of support find a step toward a more contented life. If the system you are currently on requires a charge to download, all author's proceeds will benefit battered women's shelters. This book is a companion piece to my other free books on yoga and meditation. Feel free to contact Lisa if you have any questions - she's happy to help!

I do not rightfully claim or own any material in this document, I simply am researching Buddhism and writing what I see on various articles, and publishing them to avoid losing them.

Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book, Hesse's ninth novel, was written in German, in a simple, lyrical style. It was published in the U.S. in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s. Hesse dedicated the first part of it to Romain Rolland and the second to Wilhelm Gundert, his cousin. The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (what was searched for), which together means "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals". In fact, the Buddha's own name, before his renunciation, was Siddhartha Gautama, Prince of Kapilavastu. In this book, the Buddha is referred to as "Gotama". Cover by: @Sapphire_2721
