About this book

Eastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea Judith maps the seven chakras of yoga onto Western developmental psychology. Each chapter takes one chakra and the life stage it corresponds to, from infancy through adulthood. Whether you take chakras literally or metaphorically, the book works as a way of thinking about how the body holds emotional history.

About the author

Anodea Judith

Wheels of Life appeared in 1987 and laid the seven-chakra system of Indian yogic tradition over a Western psychological map; it has since been translated into more than twenty languages. Eastern Body, Western Mind (1996) pushed the idea further, matching each chakra to a stage of childhood development and to a cluster of therapeutic problems.
