Atlas of Mind, Body and Spirit

Atlas of Mind, Body and Spirit

by PaulHougham (Author)

Synopsis

The Gaia Atlas of Mind, Body and Spirit is a ground-breaking reference guide to how societies throughout the world and over time have seen our physical and energetic bodies. Organized according to culture, this book discusses modern and ancient approaches, including the Western view of the body, the Indian Chakra system and the Chinese Jing Luo, or meridian maps of acupuncture. This book goes further than other books, however, as it connects the approaches and shows the importance of viewing them as a continuum in order to understand how our bodies work and humanity in general.
