The Intuitive Chakras - The Upper 3

Papaya Frostt

Introduce your child to the world of chakras with our 15-in-1 children's audio book collection, focused on the three higher chakras - Throat, Third Eye, and Crown.
The Throat Chakra is associated with communication, expression, and creativity, while the Third Eye Chakra is associated with intuition, imagination, and spiritual connection. The Crown Chakra represents our connection to the divine and the infinite, as well as our sense of purpose and meaning in life.
Each book in this collection has been carefully crafted to help children connect with these three chakras in a meaningful way. I will give a fair warning when getting into the intuitive side of the chakras. The Third Eye and Crown Chakra can be intense for beginners. However, even though these chakras can be a deep subject for younger children, it presents a unique opportunity for them to explore their inner world and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. As with all of our books, we encourage parents to use their own judgment and guidance when exploring these concepts with their children.
Through these books, your child will learn the value of self-expression and creative freedom, the importance of trusting their inner voice and intuition, and the power of finding meaning and purpose in life.
