Product Description:
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.

Having very little actual knowledge about the Chakra system, but a fair grounding in Western psychology, I was absolutely blown away by how readable and valuable this book was. It is not one to speed-read because every page, section and chapter contains gems you won't want to miss. Not only did it give me a comprehensive understanding of the Chakra system and it's relationship to Western psychology, it provided useful and applicable exercises for working in and healing imbalances in each Chakra. I have found it both personally useful and relevant and have shared its wisdom with clients, friends and family members.

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.

someone lent me this book and then i realized i needed it for my therapy. in the descriptions of the types of people, the lacks and excesses, i found myself much better described than in a typical psych book or a vague new age chakra book. my shrink is a shaman and works with me a lot on chakras and when i got a therapist i xeroxed pages for her in what i felt would work best in my recovery. this helps me when my reiki and body worker both talk about my chakras. i was raised by hippies and lived in a 3HO ashram as a teenager and so i had been doing yoga for the chakras, but really didn't have a western frame of reference of them. i got the eastern hippie "the three lower chakras are BAD" guilt version. as a professional psychic, i was so happy to learn how to connect in a healthy way with my lower chakras and incorporate it into my holistic treatment - spiritual, psychological, physical, emotional. it's the only good chakra book i have found since it is accessible for my clients ...

I loved this book! learning about chakras and the western views are amazing. As a massage therapist, I learned so much how the wheel of life works and I know that you would too. The author writes this book with a great understanding on the western pshychology and blends it very well with the eastern idea.
the author wrote this book into sections, which makes it easier to read. It is well writen and had wonderful information on chakras.
This book helps you understand the real you.
