Eastern Body, Western Mind

Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self

De: Anodea Judith

Narrado por: Laura Jennings

In Eastern Body, Western Mind, chakra authority Anodea Judith has 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.

If you are interested in self growth this book is everything and more! This book had me crying and laughing at many points. It brought me face to face with my weaknesses and broke it all down in a very digestible way. I realized that weaknesses and strengths are often the same thing. It put a name and brought light to things I didn't understand. I highly reccomend this book to every human! I am aware of my stuff now and with that awareness I feel like I am going to live in an optimal way. Bravo
