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

This is the revised edition (the previous edition has sold more than 55,000 copies) which includes a new introduction from the author. A most practical text, it applies the chakra system to important modern social realities and issues such as addiction, codependence, family dynamics, sexuality and personal empowerment.

This listing is for one Eastern Body, Western Mind lovingly wrapped and sent with love and light.

Crystal Blessings,
