Energy Anatomy – Caroline Myss

eServus Comments:

I found “Energy Anatomy” interesting and easy listening book for my daily two-hours-long commuting. Additionally to the chakras-health issues, Caroline Myss also presented stories from her personal life including her experience as a medical intuitive, studies in theology and her professional transition from a publisher’s job into the teacher in spirituality and energy fields.
Here are basic pillars how Myss explained the key roles of the seven chakras:

The 2nd Chakra: Control.

The 5th Chakra: Willpower.
The 6th Chakra: Wisdom.
The 7th Chakra: Grace. Read the rest of this entry »
