"Barbie and the Magic of the Rainbow" is a classic story that tells people that their hearts hold the deepest and most lasting magic and inspires them to follow the values of kindness, bravery, and persistence. This is how the story starts: A long time ago, there was a smart little girl named Barbie who lived in a cute little town surrounded by big forests and rolling hills. There was something very different about Barbie as a child. She had a kind heart, was always interested in new things, and had a mind as bright as a rainbow. Nestled in the peaceful beauty of nature's wealth, Barbie's simple home was a safe haven of love and warmth. Everyone who met her felt loved because her heart was like a well of goodness. Being excited, always interested, and always looking for new things to learn drove her to try new things. Her mind was as varied as an artist's palette, and everything she touched turned into a new work of art. Barbie looked forward to every morning because she got to explore the world outside of her quiet town and discover the secrets that were hidden below the surface of the earth. As she danced over the rolling, emerald-covered ground, the sound of her laughter could be heard through the thick greenery of the green hills, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. Barbie's soul expanded like a beautiful tapestry with each step. Because she was so interested in everything, the world around her became a blank canvas ready to be painted, and every exchange was a vivid brushstroke of her imagination. She was excited about every day like the sun rising, ready to explore the new worlds of information that were calling her. Barbie was so beautiful that people were drawn to her like bees to nectar. The kindness and love in her heart became a light for people who needed support and understanding. Her heart was as open as her ears, and she helped those in need by giving them comfort and advice. Nature also seemed to enjoy being with Barbie. Birds sat on her outstretched hand and sang to her, as if they were drawn to the melody inside her. Flowers grew with an unmatched brightness, and the petals showed how strong her beliefs were. Even the most scared animals came up to her and trusted that she would show them the way through the forest. Even though Barbie was beautiful every day, she had a deep pain in her heart. Her grandma told her stories about how rainbows would appear in the sky after it rained a lot. These rainbows were more than just bright lines; they were magical doors that led to other worlds of magic and people, dreams and adventure. She woke up one beautiful morning to the sound of birds singing after a light rainy night. As she told her grandmother's stories, she felt a rush of amazing joy through her body. She felt compelled to explore the mysterious woods around her home by a constant whisper in her ear. She went deeper into the forest, and the air filled with the sweet smell of wildflowers. The green canopy above her got thicker as well. She jumped when she heard weak music that sounded like a bell chime far away. The music caught her attention and, as it slowly got stronger, took her on a dreamlike journey. She kept going deeper and deeper into the bush as the music led her. As if a long-kept secret were about to be revealed, everything around her seemed to be building up for it. As they walked, the sparkling sounds got more beautiful and clearer.

If you’ve ever had questions about the inconsistencies between chakra systems or wondered where the names, colors, locations, and other associations came from—you’ll find the answers here, along with 24 tables and 28 black-and-white illustrations showing how the Western chakra system developed from the mid-19th through the 20th century, many from rare and forgotten sources. Based on the teachings of Indian Tantra, the chakras have been used for centuries as focal points for healing, meditation, and achieving a gamut of physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits, from improved health to ultimate enlightenment. Contemporary yoga teachers, energy healers, psychics, and self-help devotees think of the chakra system as thousands of years old. Yet the most common version in use in the West today came together as recently as 1977. Never before has the story been told of how the Western chakra system developed from its roots in Indian Tantra, through Blavatsky to Leadbeater, Steiner to Alice Bailey, Jung to Joseph Campbell, Ramakrishna to Aurobindo, and Esalen to Shirley MacLaine and Barbara Brennan.

Dear Reader, how do you feel about your life? Is it fulfilling and meaningful? Or do you feel that something is missing? During my life journey, I realised that each of us has a mission or a call, which we often tend to be more or less conscious about. And when we succeed in finding it, we become highly motivated to realise it as it provides us with our deepest longings. The call goes far beyond what you can experience through your normal senses and beyond what natural science can explain. Essential human topics like faith, hope and love belong to different concepts, which cannot be proved but only experienced. Furthermore, you will discover that if you identify your call and live it out accordingly, you will experience the most fulfilling and meaningful life. Even better, you become the best version of yourself. As a bonus, you will have an apparent reference whenever you need to make choices that have a far-reaching impact on your life. This book provides you with different perspectives and tools that can encourage you to become the driver in your life. As an aspiration, we follow the complete lifecycle of a person named Senius, who realised during his journey of why be satisfied with less, and learn about all his considerations to find and realise his call. The symbols below illustrate Senius’ call. May you find inspiration to develop your potential for an enriching life that will make you shine like a lighthouse and as an exemplary citizen of the global community. With these wishes, I send you my regards in the name of love and wisdom, Søren Krause.
