Chakras and the Enneagram - Paperback

Chakras and the Enneagram explores the deep esoteric relationships between the yogic system of chakras and Gurdjieff's enneagram. While chakras have been a well-known feature of eastern teachings since their inception, Gurdjieff's enneagram is a diagram from esoteric eastern teachings that remained hidden for many centuries before Gurdjieff introduced it to the west in the early 1900's. Properly understood, the enneagram contains essential keys for understanding the internal dynamics of chakra teachings. In addition, chakra teachings reciprocally impart vital information about the enneagram, revealing two long-separated threads of an ancient teaching that are now brought back together again.Studying this book in conjunction with The Universal Enneagram will help explain why Gurdjieff said that the enneagram can, in the right hands and with sufficient understanding, be used to explain almost anything
