Eastern Body, Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System As a Path to the Self

Product Information

The book’s author, Margarita Alcantara, is a writing and healer with a booming acupuncture business based in New York. Which brings me to an important point. When purchasing a book, I always try to figure out what sets it apart from hundreds of others on the same topic. Eastern Body Western Mind goes through so much detailed information about each chakra as well as practices to heal them. Anodea uses real life stories and situations that help piece what is a vast and complex subject together in a way that I was able to effectively grasp to create change in my life. Each chapter brought up so many issues I thought I had already processed and dealt with. I may have, but never so deeply and mindfully with a focus on healing myself as a whole; body, soul, mind and spirit. Chakra's is een filosofisch model om het mentale en lichamelijke met elkaar te verbinden, het alledaagse met het spirituele. Dat doel wordt bereikt door verschillende stadia van verruimend bewustzijn door te maken. De chakra's symboliseren die stadia.

Seksualiteit is opheffen van verschillen, kans voor groei door integratie. In onze cultuur helemaal verkeerd begrepen. Eros = verbindende kracht die verenigt, verrukt, overbrugt en troost. Eros stroomt door alle aspecten van het leven, niet alleen seksualiteit: geur van lekker eten, kleuren van zonsondergang, een ijsje op een warme dag. Behoeften zijn noodzakelijkheden. Onze cultuur verdringt behoeften. Opkomen voor behoeften betekent verantwoordelijkheid nemen voor eigen vervulling. This is a fantastic resource for curious minds, who might want to learn a little bit about Eastern medicine, energy work, chakras, balance, imbalance, and more. If nothing else, it's really fascinating. ~Emoties zijn spiritueel, taal van de ziel. Taal die met het lichaam wordt gesproken. Zintuigen leveren ruwe informatie, gevoelens zijn de onbewuste reacties op deze informatie, emoties gestructureerde gevoelens in ons lichaam waar we ons bewust van kunnen worden. We kunnen kiezen hoe we op emoties reageren, maar emoties zelf zijn niet te beïnvloeden. Emoties gaat vaak gepaard met bewegen: slaan schoppen trillen ijsberen snikken, of juiste anti: verkrampen van spieren, stokken ademhaling. Andersom werkt ook: door yoga kunnen emoties vrijkomen. My friend who’s psychologist told me this is the only book I need to read, and now I’m worried I have a sixth chakra deficiency. 😰 Net zoals we de wind zien aan het bewegen van de bladeren, zo kunnen we de chakra's zien aan wat we om ons heen scheppen in ons leven. Bovenste chakra's: stellen mentale rijken voor, werken symbolisch via woorden, beelden en concepten.

Needless to say, I wasn’t disappointed. Like other great chakra books, this reference guide helps you understand your energy centers on a profound level. But it doesn’t stop there. Book Genre: Health, New Age, Nonfiction, Personal Development, Philosophy, Psychology, Reference, Religion, Self Help, Spirituality A guide to self-reflection, the in-depth descriptions of each energy center will help you truly understand how they affect your physical and emotional body. Schuldgevoel. Weerhoudt ons open te stellen waardoor emotionele en seksuele banden met anderen afnemen. Tweede chakra cultureel onderdrukt, maar juist motor van vitaliteit, macht en creativiteit. Zonder hartstocht en lust vervaagt ons leven tot zinloze eentonigheid, routineus verwacht gedrag.Intuïtie is onbewuste herkenning van patronen. Niet af te dwingen met wilskracht maar dienen zich aan in toestand van open staan en ontvankelijkheid. Schaamte is de demon van de derde chakra: hoe meer schaamte, hoe minder macht, wil en ego. Schaamte blokkeert derde chakra. Geest neemt over: mensen vertrouwen gedachten meer dan instincten. Recht om te beminnen en bemind te worden. Geschaad door disfuncties in oud gezin. En door verlies van een van de andere chakrarechten.

I don't like the use of the word 'need' here. It's great to learn about chakras and it can definitely benefit to your life but to say you NEED it... idk about that. And this has nothing to do with whether I fully believe in chakras or not. So I'm hoping the writer won't be using the word 'need' too much throughout this book. I don't want this book to turn into a guide of things you have to do, instead of it being an insightful book about chakras to learn from. Through this beginner’s guide, Alcantara shares how you can heal body pain, allergies, headaches, stomach aches, inflammation, fatigue, and even emotional issues through the understanding of the chakras. As an exercise Imagine your life feeling loved every step of the way, let your cells soak in the feeling 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 and applyingthe chakra system to important modern social realities and issues such as addiction, codependence, family dynamics, sexuality, and personal empowerment.behave in a loving and caring fashion toward ourselves and others. When the feeling fades, it is our responsibility to find ways to create a new love. Like a garden that is carefully tended, the rewards are well worth the effort.” The exercise chapter will help you ‘practice what you preach’ and take book knowledge to a physical level. Zelfaanvaarding. Innerlijk evenwicht tussen alle onderdelen in ons. Niet alleen herkennen maar ook omarmen. Naarmate we meer geïntegreerd raken, krijgen we meer betrekkingen tot anderen. Also, just incredibly frustrating. I'm not clear on Judith's justifications for claiming to be a "chakra authority." The blurb here lists her first non-western credential as being a 500-hour yoga teacher training? Please say you've actually studied the eastern tradition on its OWN terms...?

So with just one buy, you can secure months of learning. What more could one ask for in a book? 9.

Observeren. Rationeel, analytisch, je bent op afstand van waar je je bewust van bent. Ik-het relatie In a world where everything seemed extremely straightforward, I got curious about what else I could tap into when Western theory and Western medicine didn't yield the best results. I had done extensive studies in mythology, symbolism, and learned quite a bit about Jungian and Campbellian theories. When I began experiencing anxiety and depression in my early twenties, I wondered what alternatives there were to the limited utilization of psychiatry and prescription medications.
