  Recently released: the audiobook edition of the popular book,  The Seven Wisdoms of Life  by Shai Tubali. Book description: A Book of the Year finalist and one of the most comprehensive books ever written about the chakras and their role in human life, The Seven Wisdoms of Life is grounded not in esoteric theory but rather in the down-to-earth way we can consciously use the teachings of the chakras in order to become fully balanced and fulfilled human beings. The central idea of the seven wisdoms is that the chakras hold within themselves the seven lessons of life as a whole. Instead of trying to guess what our core understandings in life are, we can see it all reflected in the chakras, which are basically the seven layers of our psyche. With his exciting and accurate ways of observation, Shai Tubali leads the reader through each chakra's teaching and life-journey: a detailed description of the basic psychological themes and psychological reactions of imbalance; pr...

The Third Eye Chakra — Ajna in Sanskrit — rests between the eyebrows, glowing like a small, radiant star. It’s the center of inner vision, intuition, and perception , the place where logic and imagination meet. When Ajna is open, you don’t just see with your eyes — you perceive with your awareness. 💠 Location and Element Ajna’s home is the space between the eyebrows , often called the “brow center.” It governs the eyes, brain, and pineal gland — the body’s natural rhythm keeper. Its element is Light , symbolizing clarity, illumination, and understanding. Light reveals what is hidden, both in the outer world and within the self. When your inner light shines clearly, you can discern truth from illusion. 🌌 Themes: Intuition and Insight Ajna is the seat of wisdom — the part of you that knows without needing proof. It’s not about predicting the future; it’s about perceiving patterns, meanings, and connections that logic alone can’t explain. A balanced Third Eye Chakra brings: Clear intu...

Male and Female Energy [of the Third Chakra] The male energy of the third chakra can be symbolized by the sword: a powerful force that can break through any kind of obstacle and move persistently towards a goal. It never wavers, for it has a tremendous aspiration and the energy to follow it. We need this male energy when we have a vision that we wish to manifest in the world of time and space. The female energy of the third chakra can be symbolized by the shield. Just as we need a sword, we need a shield: the sword is needed for offense, while the shield is needed for defense. So, the female energy equips us with a protective shield, which can actually push away any kind of pressure and over stimulation. It can equip us with stillness when someone offends us, and it can equip us with persistence when we are being pressured to let go of our authenticity. The Seven Wisdoms of Life was selected as a finalist for Book of the Year Award in 2013 and the Best Books USA Award in 2...

  When life feels uncertain, the first place to look isn’t up — it’s down. The Root Chakra, known in Sanskrit as Muladhara , is the foundation of the entire chakra system. It’s the energetic equivalent of our feet on the earth — the place where safety, stability, and belonging begin. 🌿 What the Root Chakra Represents 🔴 The Symbol and Color 🌍 How to Nurture the Root Chakra 🕊️ The Lesson of Muladhara Before we can reach for enlightenment, we must first feel secure enough to stand still. It’s the chakra of trust — trust in the earth beneath us, in our own strength, and in the quiet rhythm of life. The Root Chakra sits at the base of the spine, near the tailbone. It’s associated with the element of Earth, symbolizing solidity, endurance, and connection to the physical world. It governs: Survival instincts — food, shelter, safety Grounding — feeling secure in your body and environment Stability — financial, emotional, and relational steadiness Trust — confidence that life supports y...
