Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self

Anodea Judith, Celestial Arts, first edition, 1997, rev. 2004, 458 pp. 

(nearly 100,000 sold)

Readers all over the world call this book their personal Bible. One even said they could throw out every other self-help book on their shelf! Used by healing schools everywhere, it describes the psychological realities of each chakra, how we get shut down as we grow up, and what to do about it. Most of all, you will come to understand yourself and your own chakra patterns.

A ground-breaking text in transpersonal psychology, these pages weave together childhood development, Jungian individuation, bioenergetic character structures, and Eastern mysticism into one comprehensive theory that bridges East and West, mind, body, and spirit, into one seamless whole. An owner’s manual for the human soul, it is an aid to healing for both therapists and laypeople in the recovery process.

~Dear Anodea, Just to let you know that I was recently in India and had to choose only one book to take with me and I chose “Eastern body, western mind.” I keep coming back to you about this particular book because it is like a jewel box – every time you open it there is something new and the more I read on the subject the more I feel how human and loving it is actually, compared to many other writings. With very best wishes, Elena

~Dear Anodea, I am reading your book Eastern Body Western Mind, and i wanted to express my gratitude for this book.  It is so well written and easy to understand.  I am not finished with the book, but i have already learned so much about myself and my interactions with others, about how i came to be, about how i can heal.  I am discovering so much.  Things are making sense to me for the first time ever about my childhood and its connections to my present. Just the process of shedding light on this feels very healing.  Thank you for all of this insight you share.  I am looking forward to reading your other books in the near future. WIth gratitude, Szilvia
