Book Review : Anatomy of The Spirit, by Caroline Myss
Angela Herold, RGN |
|
 This book is a "must read" for everyone who is in search of a deeper understanding of why we get ill, particularly at times when we are overly tied up with meeting the demands of our daily life or when we are consumed with coping with extraordinary incidents in our life. In her book Caroline Myss prompts us to rethink our attitude towards illness as a highly inconvenient event which strikes us out of the blue and she gently introduces us to her belief that our "biography becomes our biology".
This is interesting, as she provides us with some superb examples about her patients from her practice as a healer. She has the gift to sense and also to see a person\'s energy field, meaning that she is able to screen a body for disturbances in the energy field and therefore to diagnose dysfunctions and abnormalities. She extends this extraordinary gift of diagnosing by helping her patients to attain a symbolic view on their illness so that they become able to identify the value and scope of the present illness and start relating it to past and current happenings in their lives. She attempts to highlight the connection between the course of our life and the place illness takes within it, comparing the body with a "living history book" which contains chapters of all of our experiences, relationships, thoughts etc. Everything we experience in our live subtly enters the energy field of our body and manifests itself within our physiological functions.
As a fundamental model of her work Caroline Myss relies on the symbolic power of the seven chakras, centres of concentrated energy in the body, as taught in eastern medicine and religions. She introduces us to the meaning of the seven sacraments in Christianity for our health as well as the Kabbalah's Tree of Life and provides a clear synthesis of these three spiritual traditions, which help us to interpret the meaning of an illness in respect to our live situation and spiritual development.
