About this listen

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Absolutely Brilliant!

It’s a really interesting book worth giving a shot. Although some of the practices and theories are quite out there, there’s actually lots of things I’ve found useful. It’s not that they have to be “true” but I would somewhat equate this to the theory of an inner child. Although that’s not the whole truth it can help you take useful action to help take care of yourself and start to heal. In a similar fashion the chakra system can help you cultivate more self love, understanding, patience and ways to take care of yourself and start to heal.

I love how in depth it is!
