Product Description
Anatomy of the Spirit is the boldest presentation to date of energy medicine by one of its premier practitioners, internationally acclaimed medical intuitive Caroline Myss, one of the "hottest new voices in the alternative health/spirituality scene" (Publishers Weekly). Based on fifteen years of research into energy medicine, Dr. Myss's work shows how every illness corresponds to a pattern of emotional and psychological stresses, beliefs, and attitudes that have influenced corresponding areas of the human body.
Anatomy of the Spirit also presents Dr. Myss's breakthrough model of the body's seven centers of spiritual and physical power, in which she synthesizes the ancient wisdom of three spiritual traditions-the Hindu chakras, the Christian sacraments, and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life-to demonstrate the seven stages through which everyone must pass in the search for higher consciousness and spiritual maturity. With this model, Dr. Myss shows how you can develop your own latent powers of intuition as you simultaneously cultivate your personal power and spiritual growth.
By teaching you to see your body and spirit in a new way, Anatomy of the Spirit provides you with the tools for spiritual maturity and physical wholeness that will change your life.

What sets Anatomy of the Spirit apart is Carolyn Myss's ability to blend diverse religious and spiritual beliefs into a succinct discussion of health and human anatomy. For example, when describing the seven energy fields of the human body, she fuses Christian sacraments with Hindu chakras and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life. Fortunately, Myss is a skilled writer as well as researcher, able to ground her extensive spiritual and religious discussions by using real-life stories and a tight writing style. Those who are squeamish with the notion of biography affecting biology will find this book a struggle (in one chapter, Myss links pancreatic cancer with a man's refusal to unburden his life and start fulfilling his dreams). Many, however, hail Myss for creating a valuable contribution to the ongoing exploration of spirituality and health. --Gail Hudson
Amazon.com Audiobook Review
A former journalist turned medical intuitive, Caroline Myss soothingly fuses Hindu chakras, Christian sacraments, and the Judaic Tree of Life to form her seven stages of power in the human body. Reading her own work to an appreciative studio audience, her tone is often confessional as she builds her case by using stories from her own life of spiritual growth. The audience responds with mild laughter at her wry asides, as if at a New Age dinner party somewhere in the Colorado mountains--where this was taped--with an extra place set for you. (Running time: three hours, two cassettes) --Kimberly Heinrichs

 Hard Read August 13, 2008
This is a bit of a hard read to me. I have to read the pages over and over to understand the way this is written. I dunno...it's probably a good book if you can manage not to become bored in the beginning with trying to understand it.
must read July 13, 2008
This is an excellent book for all to read who are looking for guidance through their spiritual journey. Fantastic reading. Well written, easy to follow.
An excellent beginning to exploring the connection between mind and body April 23, 2008
This book started me on a path to healing myself. It is a great way to begin to see the unifying principals between major religions. The most important thing for me is that it can help with some introspective self diagnosis of what is ailing you physically and spiritually. I would easily consider this book to be a foundation to start your exploration of the chakra system. Carolyn Myss put me in a new paradigm for at least a year with this book and instilled a hunger for knowledge of the mind body system that has persisted 7 years later. Even though I think this book is a great start to understanding the chakra system and the mind-body connection, it was in depth enough to make you feel like you've been educated.
Amazing read March 4, 2008
Dr Myss manages to engage, inspire, and bring together three mystical traditions into one system. Her unique technology is a revelation! Entirely relevant to health and disease, Myss's exploration is mystical, spiritual as well as practical.
You gotta read this book!
This Book Began My Spiritual Healing February 17, 2008
A year ago, I began taking antidepressants and I was tired of the roller coaster ride that ensued of medication experimentation -- looking for the right cocktail, suffering through side effects and withdrawal symptoms, hoping that I'd find something to make me feel better but not make me unable to care for my children. It was exhausting. I was then recommended this book by a friend who practices Reiki -- she said if I wanted to get off the drugs, this would help me do it. AND IT HAS!! I learned to use my "personal power". Caroline Myss is a medical intuitive, which means that she has met hundreds (maybe thousands) of people in pain who need help and she offers diagnoses and even direction to heal. She differentiates between healing the spirit, which is essential to beginning our journey on self-healing, and curing a disease -- after all, sometimes your physical body has deteriorated past the point of recovery. But she shares stories of people physically debilitated by their illnesses, but who are spiritually alive and healthy! Myss's book helped me understand my spiritual self, where is my power, how can I use it to heal myself. She then explains our spiritual selves against the "seven sacred truths", which draw parallels between the 7 chakras, 7 Christian sacraments, and the 7 levels of the Tree of Life of Kabbalah. Not only is this a fascinating read, but it opened my eyes to a world I never considered, a self I never realized I had. "The Anatomy of the Spirit" taught me to understand my spiritual self from ground zero, and gave me the knowledge I needed to begin my journey on self-healing. I am much healthier today and well on the road to recovery both physically and mentally. My life has changed for the better and it all began with this book. Just remember: when you open this book, it will open your world; but first you must approach it with an open mind.
