Eastern Body, Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self by Anodea Judith

5.0

My sceptic heart was fully prepared to find flaws in this book but I absolutely loved it. The book interweaves theory on the chakra system with developmental stages (Piaget), embodiment and predominantly Jungian psychology - though takes queues from many others along the way. I was fully prepared to go pour back over the chapters in coming months, to find at the end there is a wonderful self assessment tool to help identify where you may need to focus your efforts (for me at least in reading I came out of each chapter thinking “yes, also me!” so this is a useful tool. Definitely something i will continue to refer to for years.
