Eastern Body, Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self by Anodea Judith
5.0
I've read Judith's other book on chakras, which is a great introduction and was looking forward to seeing how this book differed. This book contains good info on the psychology of chakras, human development patterns and how we can grow children with better and stronger chakras, and lots of info on the ways chakras can become "blocked."
With all this good stuff, this book still was a hard read for me. While it contains great information on chakras (as well as some introductory info), the parts on diagnosis and dis-ease made me a bit depressed. It was hard to read through the various ways that we can have our chakras blocked. In every chakra chapter, I kept trying to relate my own experiences and knowledges to each thing being talked about.
I do want to recommend this book to my parent-to-be friends, as it may help them understand their little one's development stages better, and to anyone who wants to learn more about chakra systems and how they may interact with psychology.
