Creating On Purpose: The Spiritual Technology of Manifesting Through the Chakras
You may have seen the movies and read the books about manifestation, but your power to create your dreams still seems to be missing the mark. Don't throw in the towel yet-there's a radically new approach that may reveal the missing piece of the puzzle. With Creating on Purpose, innovative teachers Anodea Judith and Lion Goodman present a comprehensive, systematic method for realizing your highest aspirations. Shared with thousands in their popular nationwide workshops, this unique, step-by-step approach guides us through a rich study of the inner self, the outer world, and how to connect the two to make your dreams come true.
Manifestation is the process of bringing the spiritual and material together to create a better life for yourself, your family, and your community, explain Anodea and Lion. At the heart of this work are the energy centers known as the chakras, which offer us a profound formula for wholeness, a template for transformation, and a sacred map for manifestation. Learn how to make use of the top-down flow of energy between chakras-an ancient key to effective change, and a way of aligning our desires with our highest good, as you explore:
Chakra Seven: Consciousness Creates-Receive guidance and grace, clarify ideas into intention, and clear limiting beliefs
Chakra Six: Vision Vitalizes-Imagine possibilities, discover your purpose, and visualize your path to fulfillment
Chakra Five: Conversation Catalyzes-Tell your story, refine your mission, and set goals to chart your course
Chakra Four: Love Enlivens-Find the right relationships, establish your network, and co-create with beauty and love
Chakra Three: Power Produces-Become proactive, strengthen your will, and handle distractions and obstacles
Chakra Two: Pleasure Pleases-Ride the river of passion, balance masculine and feminine energies, and attract what you want and need
Chakra One: Matter Matters-Honor your commitments, inhabit your body, and complete every cycle
“When you align your heavenly wisdom with the love in your heart and combine your future vision with your unique skills and abilities,� write Anodea and Lion, “you can begin to drive your vehicle toward your destiny, giving your gifts for the benefit of all beings.� Here is your opportunity to participate in this important work through Creating on Purpose.

This is one of my all-time favourite books! It will blow you away. It has transformed my life and helped me in all areas, I cannot recommend this enough!

This book is an excellent practical, "how-to" book on manifestation. Judith's "Wheel of Life" is a classic for anyone who wants the most comprehensive book on the chakra system. This book takes that information to the next level - how to use chakra energies to manifest dreams and goals, associated with one's life purpose. The refocus on top-down flow of consciousness energy, as the basic foundation of the manifestation process, is explained in great detail. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about creating, and fully living, their life purpose.

I refer to this book at least once a week. I love the way Anodea Judith engages the philosophies and science of the Chakra system and creates a practical guide to getting things done that are in harmony with your true intentions!! The chapters are organized to move your from your head to your heart and then into action. The exercises are enlightening, but you really have to do them, not just read about them. And there are helpful links to on-line exercises as well. The writing flows well, and is captivating and motivating. You have the feeling that you can really create the life you want. I love books that use Yoga principles in the real world, and this is one of the best.

A wonderful explanation of how what we create in life begins with an idea and manifests in several steps through our chakras into being. This is a great "project" book - if you did every exercise suggested it would take you months to get through, but imagine what you could create.

I don't know enough about Chakras to have really grasped everything in this book, since it is not a beginner's book. So, while I found it interesting, I had to kind of force myself to finish it. I did glean some good advice from it though. What you appreciate appreciates. Set smart goals, etc.

I attended a week-long workshop lead by Anodea. It expanded my kundalini practice into broader more mainstream aspects. This book contains very practical steps that can direct you into living at your highest potential.

Creating on Purpose is a very good book, filled with exercises that guide the reader toward achieving their goals with clarity and intention. However, it does feel a bit like more of the same from the author, who tends to stick to familiar themes and approaches in their work. That said, for someone just starting out, I believe this could be a fabulous resource. It’s an excellent introduction for those looking to begin this journey of personal and spiritual development, offering a solid foundation despite its somewhat repetitive nature.

By far, one of the most inspirational books I've ever read. Not only does it inspire, but it helps you tune in and, by reading it actively and engaging in the exercises, helps you move forward and work towards reaching your goals.
Highly recommend it!!

Spisovatelia rozobrali každú čakru dopodrobna. Dozvieme sa na čo slúži, ako s ňou máme pracovať, aby slúžila nášmu zámeru � naučíme sa niektoré cviky, ktoré nám ju pomôžu zosilniť. Zistila som, že nie všetky cvičenia vám môžu vyhovovať, takže som niečo vynechala. Ak by som sa rozhodla robiť všetko, trvalo by mi to mesiace a toľko času na recenziu nemám. Určite sa k tomu neskôr vrátim, no v diele sa nachádzajú veci, ktoré by som nechcela vyskúšať nikdy. To ale neprekáža, pretože autori vedeli, že to tak dopadne a už v úvode mi vysvetlili, že mám skúsiť len to, čo sa mi páči. Cvičenia som si užívala � aj keď väčšina bola orientovaná na písanie zoznamov. Na začiatku mi ani to nebolo pochuti � chcem predsa čítať, nie písať a zamýšľať sa nad komplikovanými vecami, ale vďaka tomu som si ujasnila to, čo chcem. Nesnažte sa knihu prečítať na posedenie, pretože potom to nebude mať žiadny zmysel. Aspoň 4-5 cvičení poctivo absolvujte. Napokon vás to bude baviť.
Na začiatku každej kapitoly je krásny citát, ktorý dotvára atmosféru, ktorú sa snažia spisovatelia čitateľom sprostredkovať. Svoje učenie opierajú o svoje príhody zo života a tým robia celý počin ešte zaujímavejším. Na začiatku knihy je podrobný obsah, takže ak ste niečo nepochopili, môžete sa k tomu raz-dva vrátiť. Ja záložky nepoužívam, ale v tejto ich je toľko, že keby to niekto videl, zhrozil by sa. Už je to týždeň, čo som ju prečítala, no v poslednej dobe hľadám odpovede na moje otázky práve tam. Ak mám byť úprimná, čakrám som nie tak celkom pochopila � som v tom nováčik, takže som si musela veľa vecí pozrieť na internete. Ale ak ste v tejto téme zbehlí, čítanie Tvořivej síly čaker by vám rozhodne problémy nespôsobilo. V texte sa nachádzajú aj tabuľky, ktoré vám veľmi pomôžu, takže sa nebojte. Všetko pochopíte, ale možno to nebude postačujúce a budete hľadať doplňujúcu literatúru.
