The cakras are symbols for the various levels of consciousness. Cakra Symbols is a set of eighteen 9 x 6 full-color plates which originally appeared in Kundalini Yoga for the West, Swami Sivananda Radha's step-by-step approach to realizing your highest inner potential through character-building and increased awareness. Used alone or with the book, these plates illustrate the energies behind the cakras.
