"Chakras are the seven centers of spiritual energy in the human body representing behavioral characteristics and stages of spiritual growth. The specific psychophysical energies can be activated and influenced by directed spiritual practice. Aroused by the practices of tantra yoga, the dormant spiritual Kundalini energy can be made to leave the first chakra and pierce the chakras above, causing spiritual experiences to occur. The understanding of the seven chakras offers a way to balance one’s desires and lead a happier and more spiritual life along personal destiny...Artist Pieter Weltevrede beautifully illustrates these thirteen full color images, which include a chakra chart, chakra sound symbol and chakra mandala wheel. Six of Pieter’s images and all of the text for this calendar are taken from the book Chakras, by Harish Johari, published by Inner Traditions."
