Wauters, Ambika. Chakras and Their Archetypes: Uniting Energy Awareness and Spiritual Growth. Freedom, CA: The Crossing Press 1997.  163 pp.  US$26

Wauters has written a very engaging and insightful book about the role archetypes play in the progression of human spiritual development. The author spent many years working with archetypes in her own personal development and in her private healing practice, after reading Carl Jung?s Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious some twenty-five years earlier and subsequently studying at the Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland.  

The author states that archetypes are universal patterns of behavior which have both positive and negative qualities and are mirrors of the unconscious. As such, they help us understand our behavior (p.2-3).
