Creating on Purpose: The Spiritual Technology of Manifesting Through the Chakras

I've referred to this book many times and I now keep a journal entitled Creating on Purpose that has expanded on the notes I took from this book. It's very hands on with exercises to do daily to practice manifesting what you want. It uses the chakra system to explain how we can achieve what we most desire. Because of this book, I have really dedicated myself to meditation and visualizing nearly every day (I may miss a day or two each month, but it's rare). I've changed my life in so many ways through these two simple practices that I learned in this book. For one, I've moved to the West Coast to pursue a dream I've had my entire life, but couldn't see how to make it come together. This book is very practical and requires a serious determination to dedicate time and thought to one's spirituality and desires. I enjoy books like that. If you want a quick overview/read about manifesting, this may not be a good place to start.

I was blessed to attend an intensive workshop with Anodea and Lion several years ago on the technology of manifestation through the chakras. It was literally a life-changing event which got me focused on utilizing my chakra system in the focused, directed efforts towards creating the life I wanted. I am happy to say that, based on many of the teachings I received in that program (which is now in this WONDERFUL book!), I am living the life I only dreamed about a few short years ago. Anodea and Lion have an incredible grasp on the creation process, describe the obstacles we put in the way, and provide incredibly effective techniques to bust through old paradigms so our True Selves emerge.I count both of them as major influencers and teachers in my life's work, and I highly recommend this book for anyone who is ready to create a bigger, more joyful, juicier life! If you read the book and do the work, you will have the life you desire and deserve.Theresa RoseNationally-acclaimed Inspirational Performer, Award-winning Author and Hardcore HoopDancerTheresaRose.com

This is an extraordinary book.It succeeds where law of attraction books have failed. Why? Because of its clear, detailed explanation of how thoughts manifest into things through our chakras, followed by profound exercises laid out to remove blocks we've energetically created in our chakras.If you want to physically manifest something in your life, this book shows you, step by step, how to do it.I'm in awe of the amount of useful information the authors have included in this book and how well it works.(I attended a week-long Psychology of the Chakras intensive with Anodea Judith recently. It was life-changing in revealing and dissolving emotional and psychological blocks for me. As a result, I was compelled to continue my work on the energetic system with this book. Very glad I did.)

I purchased this book primarily due to the efficacy of one of the exercises contained in the sample. It involved eliminating pain. Essentially, you step into the pain and experience it fully and voila, the pain is gone. I thought if all the exercises were even half as successful as that one, this book would be dynamite.The book promises a unique way of manifesting through the chakras. Instead of starting at the bottom, it suggests starting at the top, at the finest, most spiritual levels and then gradually working the idea down through the denser levels of energy until it manifests on the physical level.I really enjoyed the book up through page 99. It contained some highly interesting and effective exericses. However, it gradually morphed into more of a business type workbook, ie, focusing on goals, etc. I did not think that the marriage between the esoteric and the business workshop elements was entirely successful and would have prefered the focus to remain more on the chakras. This is not to suggest that the tips and business type exercises are not useful; rather they are certainly valid and helpful. They just seemed to belong in a different book. Also not all their advice is applicable to every manifestation situation. For instance, they suggest communicating your goal with other people. This might be helpful when hunting for a job, but there are other goals that might not be served by inviting public comment and examination. Similarly, one of the exercises involves inviting friends over and having them pretend to be your stated obstacles. You then are supposed to push pass their resistance. I don't know that all people would be comfortable with that, nor should they. But overall, I did think this was a book worth reading and have successfully integrated many of their exercises in my own life.

I have read all the laws, all the theories and am only interested in systems that compliment my beliefs while giving me steps. This book did just that. I am WAY more organized in my businesses and I know how and when to use each chakra in various situations. As a heart centered person, I can slide in and out of business, social gatherings, etc. But, not every opportunity is going to call for a person to live soley in their main chakra. Sometimes its all about the intellecual third eye and throat, other times about the solar plexus and making things happen. I feel like I can recognize when to tap into these various ways of being to relate to other people who are different than me better. However, this never beats working towards what truly inspires the individual, it mainly just helps you "speak other people's language" according to what is valued at the moment.

excellent book, bought as an adjunct to Shakti Gawain's Creative Visualization and also Goddess Warrior in Training. All three books together are a great foundation in order to change one's thought patterns and one's life in a positive, empowering manner.

Sehr spannendes Buch. Wie man seine Berufung Schritt für Schritt umsetzt. Beschreibt die verschiedenen Phasen der Manifestation. Die Techniken sind direkt umsetzbar!

This book is a guide to the ultimate creative act; living our whole lives by intention and design.It's a fascinating and practical take on the idea that we shape our own realities.But what makes this book different is how it explores the fine art of manifestation, step-by-logical-step, in line with the 7 main chakras.It's a compelling strategy for manifesting and makes even the loftiest life dream seem very do-able. But the process works just as well when applied to creative projects on a smaller scale.The book is full of inspiring insights on the creative process and happily there's an emphasis on how the journey can be one of fulfillment, synergy, altruism and (my favourite) joy.And, as Anodea and Lion put it: "If you bring the joy and enthusiasm of your inner child into your activities, life becomes a playground."It's a really enjoyable read and I highly recommend it if you’re interested in metaphysics, creativity and taking control of your own life.

Too out dated for my liking in some areas. Still helpful though to explain the Chakras.

I love Anodea Judith's work. If you actually follow the steps she outlines here you will find yourself manifesting many things that you want. This is not The Secret, this is real life. Recommended.
