Book Reviews of Eastern Body, Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self

Book Review: Eastern Body Western Mind
Summary: 5 Stars

A great book on the Chakra System that deals with the pyschology of the Chakras and how our life experiences from birth have determined our behaviors because of what we hold at the energetic and cellular level of our being. Sometimes understanding how and why we opperate a particular way allows us to find the way to transform the pattern. As a teacher of the chakra system for 10 years I have found this to be the first chakra book that deals with western mind.

Summary of Eastern Body, Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self

In EASTERN BODY, WESTERN MIND, chakra authority Anodea Judith brought a fresh approach to the yoga-based Eastern chakra system, adapting it to the Western framework of Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, childhood developmental theory, and metaphysics. This groundbreaking work in transpersonal psychology has been revised and redesigned for a more accessible presentation. Arranged schematically, the book uses the inherent structure of the chakra system as a map upon which to chart our Western understanding of individual development. Each chapter focuses on a single chakra, starting with a description of its characteristics, then exploring its particular childhood developmental patterns, traumas and abuses, and how to heal and maintain balance. Illuminated with personal anecdotes and case studies, EASTERN BODY, WESTERN MIND seamlessly merges the East and West, science and philosophy, and psychology and spirituality into a compelling interpretation of the chakra system and its relevance for Westerners today.
