Book Reviews of Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing
Book Review: Great Overview of Intuition and Spirituality
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very impressed with this book and the vast topics the author had covered using human beings' physical body to explain the beauty of human beings' spirits. If you are looking for one book to fix all your life problems or thinking this will cure your illness for sure, this book can only be a starting point for you. Don't expect any book, anyone can fix your problems and/or illness. Ultimately, it is up to you at the end of the day (your desire) whether you want to heal your physical and emotional body. However, this book is a gateway and overview about what you can do to lift your spirits, if you choose to open your heart to read, listen without judgment.
Nobody says everything Caroline Myss says must be the Divine truth. But what harm does it do to you when you just open up and see what she has to say first? Then, you can choose what sort of a belief system you want to carry.
I will say this though, if you are looking for intuition and guidance of spirituality, it is a great overview book to help you explore. But if you are looking for books with healing messages behind, this book might be overwhelming. As human beings, I think we need to find our own way to heal the wounds the understanding of Forgiveness. I find "Heart of Forgiveness: A Practical Path to Healing by Madeline Ko-I Bastis" to be extremely helpful to heal emotional wounds.
Don't get frustrated with Caroline Myss because she is trying to cover a massive amount of topics to help the readers to be awaken. Wounds (physical and emotional) itself aren't bad but they are just signs for the awakening process. And I understand some readers get frustrated when she mentioned about woundology. My interpretation of her words is that wounds itself is not a problem (not good nor bad). At any point of time, we need to process the wounds with therapists and/or with groups as well as supportive friends and family. What she was trying to point out is that sometimes wounds can be unconsiously used as ways to control others and some people unconsiously/consiously use wounds to manipulate others just to get what they want. It is then wounds itself becomes harmful to self and others. It is then the group therapy, therapies in general becomes harmful for everyone's spirit. Nobody says healing is easy (yet it is simple because it is a spiritual decision we are trying to make). It requires us to examine even the manipulative/controlling side of self to ask the most important question ... Whether we are afraid to break away from wounds because we will be exposed to the healing world. We are just human beings who have fears. I think this book is wonderful to expose our fear-based thinking/feeling in light for use to examine.
I am very glad I read this book. Wounderful way to self-explore and to learn deep about life.
Summary of Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing
Anatomy of the Spirit is the boldest presentation to date of energy medicine by one of its premier practitioners, internationally acclaimed medical intuitive Caroline Myss, one of the "hottest new voices in the alternative health/spirituality scene" (Publishers Weekly). Based on fifteen years of research into energy medicine, Dr. Myss's work shows how every illness corresponds to a pattern of emotional and psychological stresses, beliefs, and attitudes that have influenced corresponding areas of the human body.Anatomy of the Spirit also presents Dr. Myss's breakthrough model of the body's seven centers of spiritual and physical power, in which she synthesizes the ancient wisdom of three spiritual traditions-the Hindu chakras, the Christian sacraments, and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life-to demonstrate the seven stages through which everyone must pass in the search for higher consciousness and spiritual maturity. With this model, Dr. Myss shows how you can develop your own latent powers of intuition as you simultaneously cultivate your personal power and spiritual growth.
By teaching you to see your body and spirit in a new way, Anatomy of the Spirit provides you with the tools for spiritual maturity and physical wholeness that will change your life.
What sets Anatomy of the Spirit apart is Carolyn Myss's ability to blend diverse religious and spiritual beliefs into a succinct discussion of health and human anatomy. For example, when describing the seven energy fields of the human body, she fuses Christian sacraments with Hindu chakras and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life. Fortunately, Myss is a skilled writer as well as researcher, able to ground her extensive spiritual and religious discussions by using real-life stories and a tight writing style. Those who are squeamish with the notion of biography affecting biology will find this book a struggle (in one chapter, Myss links pancreatic cancer with a man's refusal to unburden his life and start fulfilling his dreams). Many, however, hail Myss for creating a valuable contribution to the ongoing exploration of spirituality and health. --Gail Hudson
