Shaman Pathways - The Celtic Chakras Kindle Edition

by Elen Sentier (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 193 ratings
See all formats and editions

We've largely forgotten our ancient Celtic chakra heritage, indeed some people think there is no concept of chakras in the western tradition but this is not the case. The chakras are found throughout the mystery traditions all over the world, well known to our hunter-gather ancestors and the spirit keepers who led them. They are hidden deep in the ancient stories and myths of Britain. This book leads you through the lore of Arianrhod and her Spinning Towers, the riddling Gaelic poem The Cauldrons of Poesy, the rainbow bridge of Brighid and the ways and caers of the ancient British reindeer goddess, Elen of the Ways. There are journeys, meditations and exercises to help you get the feel of the Celtic chakra system into your bones.

Review

Lyn Webster Wilde | Author of Becoming the Enchanter & several other books; OU tutor
A concise and elegant introduction to a Celtic way of understanding reality. Elen Sentier appreciates the depth of meaning present in the myths and riddles of the British Isles and makes an erudite and entertaining guide for the curious seeker.

Llyn Roberts | award-winning author of Shapeshifting into Higher Consciousness, The Good Remembering and Shamanic Reiki. see LlynRoberts.com & EarthWisdomCircle.
Elen Sentier takes us on a well-considered journey, weaving Celtic lore and sacred geometry with experiential practices that move us into heart-full embodiment of ancient wisdom. The Celtic Chakras is a multi-dimensional and dynamic exploration of the body's energy system, illuminating a sacred pathway to evolved human consciousness.

Emma Restall Orr | author of Living With Honour and The Wakeful World etc
Rich with personal vision, the book is an interesting exploration of wholeness. Drawing on stories and traditions that are central to modern Pagan and New Age thinking, Sentier finds a deep and valuable root within the spiritual heritage of Britain.

Judi Charlton | "The way that you present the Chakras makes so much more sense to me than the way I was taught. That everything connects in that "swirl" pattern - it just clicked in my brain AND in my chakras!!! Thank you so much for this book and information."

Dr Karen Ralls | author of Templars and the Grail, Sacred Doorways, and Music & the Celtic Otherworld "Dance to the centre with Elen Sentier's groundbreaking Celtic Chakras, an enlightening synthesis of ancient shamanic lore, wisdom, journeys and meditations for the beginner or seasoned practitioner alike...enter the world of the ancestors, of Elen of the Ways, Arianrhod, Ceridwen, and more... From the Heart to the Brow, the unique spiral path of Celtic wisdom can lead one through the chakras in a special way, a guide to illuminating the Still Point within. Highly recommended."

From the Author

Val Stanton | "I've just done the meditation following my chakras and it makes so much more sense, thank you it's a really interesting read."

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Best-selling author, Elen Sentier has published 12 books, three of which are bestsellers and two are novels. She’s just finished her 3rd exciting and sexy, mystery and magic novel, it’s now out for beta reading and we hope it will be published in late 2023. She’s currently working on her fourth novel, full of juicy relationships and conflicts, set in a post-apocalyptic world. As she was born into a family who practiced the old witch-ways of Britain for millennia, she uses all that background in her novels as well as her how-to magic books

As well as writing Elen is a transpersonal psychotherapist and business coach. She uses her writing skills and her witch background to help people get unstuck. Over the past 30+ years she’s worked with leaders, solopreneurs, artists, authors and more to put the soul-fire-spark back in their business through her books, 1-2-1 coaching and her signature Wild Women Retreats.

Elen shares her quirky, 16th century farmhouse in Shropshire, England, right by the Welsh border, with her black witchy cat, Kellan, a host of wildlife, and Paul, her ex-particle physicist husband – she’s had Quantum Entanglement with the cornflakes for fifty years!

Her bragging rights include dancing for Arlene Philips; flying in Jaguar fighter aircraft; doing plasma- physics at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy; and being kissed by Mick Jagger! She loves cats, eats paleo, and her motto is “If the cat and the boyfriend disagree, get rid of the boyfriend!”

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book

I enjoyed the insights and numbers and comparisons throughout this entire book. I haven't been able to fully embrace the chakras as we know them from the east, but i feel my ancestors are truly embraced with these not so new concepts. Thank you! It's good to my heart to know the relations with the Celtic Goddesses and that we don't have to indulge our spirituality in two very different places in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Cool Book
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2013

This book is very simply explained and presents a wonderful subject. I am in the educational process of becoming a healer and energy worker, and wanted to find something about the energy centers that was not based in Eastern Chakra tradition. I personally really resonate with ancient Celtic history and tradition, and was looking for something on the Celtic idea of Chakras (exactly this book) to help me piece that into my work. For me, it's absolutely a no-brainer that the Druids meditated and understood/utilized the energy centers and pathways in their practice. To find the spiral working here also makes so much more sense to me than the linear model of the East. I really appreciate this book, and I'm grateful it was written!

This is a book to be read more than once in order to fully grasp all the deeper meanings contained within. I did find several typos and a few grammatical errors, which lead to some confusion. On the whole it is a very compelling read.

I can scarcely describe how beneficial this book has been for me... Suffice to say, After years of searching through tiresome and endless volumes- I've finally found a connection to the information I've been in dire need of reading within this book. I can only assume I will soon be reading and rereading the rest of her (the author's) material, and would like to thank her deeply for making this available.
For those of you along the path, or something similar- this book is a must have.

I did not even know Celtic spirituality involved chakras. I enjoyed reading a different cultural perspective on this idea. I really enjoyed the fact that the author suggested meditations and exercises in order to experience the truths for the reader. The explanation of the chakra system and other Celtic mystic ideas was laid out well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful essays on the links of Celtic myth to the Vedic Chakra model; no substantiation of explicit Celtic Chakras
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018
Verified Purchase
The book does a nice job of exploring Celtic myths and the spirituality behind them. The author not only explains the myths but provides exercises for the readers so that they can develop an experimental appreciation for how these myths capture universal truths of human nature and internal energy flows.

What the book doesn't do is provide any evidence that the myths are tied to chakras; as far as I can tell the author has inferred that the Celtics used this model to represent the different energy zones. There isn't any direct reference that were provided that the ancient Celts had seven zones mapped within the human body. Plus, depending on the culture, the number of zones can vary significantly, so it's not clear why the author has chosen the Vedic model to match to Celtic stories.

I read this on a Kindle; the book has a lot of odd artifacts that show it wasn't formatted for a Kindle. (For examples, words appear hyphenated as if they were split across two lines even though there's no separation.) I enjoyed reading it, but am glad I tried it out on the Kindle first. Wouldn't pay for a physical book.

This book blew my mind wide open! I really like how Elen Sentier weaves lore and science into being. All things spiral in and out, in pairs that compliment, not exclude. The concept of and/and is brilliant! Inclusion makes sense. In all things. Duality in pairs creates a whole. I will be rereading this book (many more times) for the shear pleasure of the Spiral Dance that we do every single day of our lives.

The silver path through the chakras
For me this book is a real source of knowledge about Celtic culture. We also have a valuable past in Europe that is worth looking at. However, over the course of the turbulent history, this view has become somewhat clouded and much has been lost. I was enormously inspired by this book, which reveals a lot of supplementary information about the Trinity. Why do the chakras go through linearly? Isn't it worth following the silver spiral path from the heart? This is our strongest chakra.
That inspired me and I have therefore rewritten my pineal gland meditation accordingly. The book sat on the bookshelf for far too long. But now the time has come...

1.0 out of 5 stars Full of misconceptions
Reviewed in Italy on November 22, 2016
Verified Purchase
The cover of this book looked really promising and so did the description. When you start reading, though, you realise that was just marketing. Anyone who is an experienced meditator and knows at least the basics about chakras and Celtic lore can see through this book. Let alone someone who knows a lot about chakras and the energy system. This books propagates the whole misconception of the third eye being the sixth chakra. Moreover, it says that every chakra is both masculine and feminine, which is not. Everyone who has a feel for energy can tell that, knowing the difference between male and female, electric and magnetic. About one thing is right, chakras come in pair, but certainly the solar plexus chakra is not paired with the heart chakra, being the first male/electric and the second neuter. The colour correspondences of the three cauldron are off. There is more misconception about the position of the main chakras, but I won't discuss that. I expected a better job. More insight on the Spinning Towers and the Cauldrons of Poesy, instead I find a book who shows as much knowledge as a primary schoolbook does compared to a college textbook. Better not spend your money on this, that's for sure. It's clear that she writes from a beginner point of view and has to come a long way, before writing this kind of books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fresh understanding of the Chakras
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2014

I found this book , as slender as it is, to be rich in inspiration and insight.
Having practiced for decades working with the chakras in a linear and 'vertical' fashion, mainly, to approach them from a spiral pathway has been deeply refreshing and different. I need to practice this much more to get the personal wisdoms wrapped up in the patterning. But i would say that it supports deeply my own feeling of natural connection between certain sets of chakras and meridians...specially the sacral and throat...expression and creativity in their deepest energetic meanings. A lovely book to keep returning to.
