Anatomy of the Spirit (Abridged) Audiobook

" An excellent book. It was nourishing to my soul and spirit with practical and healthy perceptions to ponder as I strive to look at myself and the world through a healthy clear lens. I’m on my second read. "

" An excellent book. This was my second read. "

" The primer to everything else that Myss has to offer. "

" I alternated between liking the book and being really irritated with it. While I do believe that there is more to health and illness than just what the Western medical establishment currently understands, there is a lot of science to health and illness. This book completely ignores the science. Myss gives an example of a man "healed" from HIV by "adopting a healthy, near-vegetarian diet, doing aerobic exercise, quitting smoking, using castor oil packs across his abdomen for 45 minutes a day, and psychotherapy" to come to terms with being gay. Really. Anectdotes like that just piss me off. Other parts of the book do have good suggestions. You cannot be at war with yourself or those around you without manifesting physical symptoms. You will be healthier and happier if you follow your bliss. Just don't think that being in the closet will give you AIDS and admitting your sexual preference will heal you. That's crap. "

" This book is very thorough and relatable. I came to an even greater understanding of my chakras, and how to heal the imbalances in my body and spirit. "

" I just found a copy at the used bookstore, someone recommended it regarding to my dad's health... My research regarding the mind and body connection continues... "

" One of the best books I've ever read. And I'm not a big fan of the self-help genre. "

" One of the best books I ever read! This book has as many layers to it's beauty as a rose has petals. It not only eloquently brings together they mysteries of many faiths, but uncovers the direct link between our spiritual self, and it's influence on the physical self. "

" Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss made me stop and think about my life more than any other. The main premise is about how our biography affects our biology. For example, rape victims have a higher incidence of cancers of the reproductive organs than the general population. Dr. Myss talks about why that occurs and what things you can do to change your negative thinking and stop being a victim. Her premise applies to all genders, races, ages. There is something valuable in this book for everyone. "

" I read this book a few years ago, but this time around, I felt like I needed it. It's full of good stuff- it takes you through the 7 chakras and teaches you what they represent and how to deal with the emotional and health related issues associated with each one. Very good for mental health. "

" Loved it!! Having been through a very difficult time, I found this book healing and hopeful. My life has changed in positive, wonderful ways since reading this book! "

" I really liked it! It combines all the structural threads of religions with the energy of the spirit. Looking at the tree of life, the roots of Christianity, and the orbs of energy and chakras in a beautiful parallel manner which creates a clear vision. A good overview and wake up! :) "

" the right words at the right time. affirmations of what my spirit was doing for me, before I understood why. brought me through a treacherous time. "

" Interesting and unusual perspective on health and healing. "

" A beautiful tapestry of spiritual practices... She draws on multiple traditions that realize the presence of energy centers in the body (such as the chakras). She weaves in personal stories that adds depth and wisdom to the book. A great read for anyone who is in a healing process or guiding others. "

" Fun read for interest in yoga, spirituality and healing. I like the way Myss integrates Eastern/Western philosophies. "

" Carolyn is very straight forward with her ideas and advice. Very practical and enjoyable book. "

" My co-worker, Kava, lent me this book and I absolutely loved the beginning. It's helped re-confirm a theory I've had for sometime, but lately I haven't been able to pick it up due to Spring Quarter at UW. "

" a very interesting comparison of hinduism, the christian sacraments and kabbalism... pretty much based on the chakra system. "

" Interaction of the mind and body - very interesting "

" This book is very empowering as it spells out the relations between illness and human spirituality- emotional well being, i like the fact that it makes the connection between our own abilities to heal ourselves and to honor the divinity within. "

" A favorite. Written by a medical intuitive, it talks about "dis- ease" and how it manifests in our body from our emotions. An empowering book about healing and living in awareness. Fascinating stories, a great read and very insightful! "

" Nice book about chakras, and illness/wellness. How we can make ourselves both ill and well. "

" Loved it! Wish I could see into other people so easily and wouldn't it be amazing to help people heal! "

" a must read for understanding the self and the ailments we have. "

" I read this one constantly. Caroline Myss is so open-minded and tries to show that any belief system has the keys to teach a person to heal or go through a rough patch. "

" Anything from Caroline Myss is wonderful! "

" Loved this book when I read it a few year ago... "

" Myss is a medical intuitive who graciously and eloquently ties emotion and lifestyle into illness and healing. For me while reading this the lessons ran deep into my heart and soul. Everyone should read this book. "

" This was a bit hard to get into at first, but the exploration of energy centers relating to physical health is truly illuminating. "

" This book is my friend. Not a book you read once and put away. I can pick it up at random and find something relevant to me. I'm all about the growing right now. "

" Read it, it is an eye opener to a whole new train of thought!! I was beyond inspired. "

" I do believe what goes on with the mind...how you cope with things does affect our health. I refer to this book again and again. "

" Loved this book when I read it a few year ago... "

" Fantastic and informative, because it was so filled with new understandings it took time to read and I still haven't finished. "
