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.

So much insight!

This book can be a guide to life as far as I’m concerned. The number of “aha” moments were too numerous to keep track of.

I understand myself better, and I have a new perspective, and respect for others and their journeys.

Wonderful

I’ve listen to this book twice now. I have gotten a lot out of both times. I’m gonna have to listen to it another time because there’s so much information packed into this book. I think my health is better after reading this book as well.

Must read

Logical with sources made it believable Loved how the author gave sources from spiritual gurus and very intelligent over view over the chakras

Beautifully wrote

This book is so eye opening and one you will have to read again and again to pick up and learn even more.

Fabulous blend of energy anatomy and psychology

Well-written deep dive into the physical, emotional, and spiritual formation of our body and energy centers.

Comprehensive explanation of how our emotions develop in relationship to the chakras.

Wish every parent would have this book as they raise children.

my life changed forever because of this book this

I cannot wait to buy the book do all the work needs to be done this is absolutely amazing

Brilliantly scientific!

I could not put it down. This book is dense with science, psychology of lifespan and premordial wisdom. Enticing and absolutely brilliant.

A necessary read

It's long, and sometimes it felt like "eating your vegetables " as opposed to a dessert, but now that I'm done, I am certain I will listen to it again. Maybe in the spring.

Must read

I consider this book very helpful, so much, that I had to listen to it twice and I will likely go back to it through my life. May we all fill ourselves with love and continue our paths across “the rainbow bridge”.

Insightful

Enjoyed every part of this book. Appreciate the bonus PDF. This book makes one look deeper and acknowledge behaviors.
