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.… (mehr)

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this up, but I'd heard the title mentioned frequently, and I was excited to dive into such a meaty tome on the subject. Knowing next to nothing about the chakra system when I opened to the first page, I expected to be immersed in information--and boy, was I ever! To say the writing is dense would be a complete understatement. It's esoteric, detailed, and sometimes painfully informative; as though the author wanted to make sure nothing escaped mention and decided to cram every bit of info even remotely related to the topic into the 500 pages of the book.

Having said that, I quite enjoyed Judith's approach to explaining the chakra system, but I could never quite sink into the book. I had to read many pages repeatedly just to make sure I understood what the author was trying to say (and sometimes I had to give up after repeated readings that just weren't making the topic any clearer).

I did, however, particularly enjoy the focus on a psychological approach to the chakras. And, as a mother to a feisty 5-year old, I felt that the sections on childhood development as viewed through the various chakras were particularly illuminating and well-developed.

This is definitely a book that will find a permanent spot on my reference shelf. ( )

Excellent information about human consciousness. This book changed the way I think about my personal development. It's a very useful tool for pinpointing what part of life is lacking and what you should be focused on improving. Even if you don't agree with energy flowing through your body, and chakras controlling your perception of life, this book provides you with a way to get you thinking about what you are struggling with. You can then take steps to clean up your weaknesses, whether it is a lack of will power or the ability to open up to the people in your life. Open your heart and mind and you will see how to take control of your life. ( )

I like to read criticism reviews just to see if I find any value in them. I read one about thinking it silly to base chakra and psych information on people’s body types. I flipped through this book and I have to agree. This superimposition of different systems and theories doesn’t work for me in the least, especially as I’ve dived into body image and disordered eating info this year. Imagine telling a woman her heart chakra is underdeveloped because she has the cutest little waist and shapely hips! I should have known from listening to Anodea Judith’s Wheels of Life book, which I never would have read to the end of in print, that this wouldn’t work for me either. It’s too dense, wordy, repetitive, etc. I took developmental psych over a decade ago and I really enjoyed it, but not this. ( )

This is a beautifully written, comprehensive look at the chakra system, looking at the pathologies and remedies for each. It is an equal balance of explanations, examples and practical exercises to assess one's own health or that of others. It is a long read, but well worth it, and it will certainly be a major reference for me, especially with its complement, The Wheels of Life, which presents yoga exercises to balance the chakras. An enlightening read. ( )

Samenvatting

Waar vind je een boek dat in één band zulke diverse onderwerpen behandel als Jungiaanse psychologie. oosterse spiritualiteit, somatische therapie, metafysica en New Age, en dat toch recht
doet aan ieder afzonderlijk thema? Waarin bovendien de auteur ook nog eens alle onderdelen aaneensmeedt tot een enkele, krachtige theorie? Handboek chakrapsychologie van Anodea Judith is zo'n zeldzaam boek.
In dit even veelomvattende als baanbrekende werk wordt het oude oosterse chakrasysteem verklaard vanuit de westerse psychologie. Judith gebruikt de structuur van het chakrasysteem als een plattegrond waarop westerse begrippen van persoonlijke ontwikkeling ingevuld kunnen worden. De spirituele natuur van onze persoonlijkheid brengt ze in verband met de structurele logica van ons lichaam. Aan elk van de zeven chakra's wijdt ze een apart hoofdstuk.
Handboek chakrapsychologie trekt de lijn door die Anodea Judith begon met haar eerste boek (Chakra-werkboek,) en vervolgde met Reis door de chakra's (dat ze samen met Selene Vega schreef.
Recensie(s)
Een breed opgezet boek over de aan elkaar grenzende bekende gebieden van psychologie, spiritualiteit, filosofie, lichaamsbewustzijn en -dynamiek. De schrijfster, Amerikaans psychologe, gebruikt het uit het oude India afkomstige stelsel van de zeven lichaamschakra's - dit zijn onstoffelijke energiecentra waaruit het lichaam ontstaat en is opgebouwd - om al deze gebieden met elkaar te verbinden. Doordat deze ongebruikelijke combinaties gemaakt worden, ontstaan er ook nieuwe inzichten. Zij verwerkt het materiaal op een overzichtelijke manier, waardoor de inhoud, ofschoon zo divers, toch evenwichtig en samenhangend gestalte krijgt. Het boek leest daardoor als een trein. Het aanbieden als handboek voor zelfverwerkelijking suggereert een zelfhulp- i.p.v. een inzichtgevend boek, maar dat is het niet. Geschikt als aanvullend studiemateriaal voor psychologen, maar zeker ook voor de geïnteresseerde leek. Met schematische tekeningen, register, bibliografie plus lijstjes van op elk behandeld chakra geënte, gespecialiseerde literatuur. Kleine letter. ( )
