Anodea Judith - Charge and the Energy Body: The Vital Key to Healing Your Life, Your Chakras, and Your Relationships

Praise for Charge and the Energy Body

Anodea Judiths Charge and the Energy Body takes you on a beautiful journey through the subtle energies that animate your body. Based on a lifetime of curiosity and creative exploration, it will help you understand your own workings, the forces that propel those you love, and how to stabilize and harmonize the energies within you and beyond you. I recommend it highly.

Donna Eden and David Feinstein, Ph.D., co-authors of Energy Medicine and The Energies of Love

In this landmark book, Anodea Judith further addresses the role of the chakras in personality and our intimate relationships. She advances her original understanding of the energy systems of life and shows us just how we can ride the wave of charge and excitement and embody that aliveness. This journey opens the door to the inner experience of the authentic self, of our relationship to ourselves and to others. Anodea also pays particular attention to the effect that trauma has upon our vital energy centers. She then provides maps to help us move back into life, and to know and achieve what we truly want in life.

Peter A. Levine, author of Waking the Tiger, Healing Trauma, and In an Unspoken Voice

Everything is possible. And the key is in your charge and the energy body. When your charge blends with its source, the universal charge, you have arrived home. That power is within your grasp. In her book Charge and the Energy Body, Anodea gives us a complete, original, and fresh insight into the possibility of living an orgasmic, ecstatic, and joyful lifephysically, emotionally, and spiritually. Read this book, and youll have the key to Heaven!

Margot Anand, author of Love, Sex, and Awakening

Anodea takes you step by step through an understanding of your life force, including how to enhance it, balance it, and use it for healing. With her foundational practices, we can become better human beings and agents of positive change.

Stephen Dinan, CEO of The Shift Network, author of Sacred America, Sacred World

Superb addition to the field of energy psychology with deep insights, juicy awarenesses, and creative practices. Well written and energizing to read, with a nice balance of personal stories, case examples, and theories.

Michael Mayer, Ph.D., author of Energy Psychology

Anodea Judiths Charge and the Energy Body will become one of the must-have books for body-oriented and energy-oriented health-care professionals. Her focus on charge as an energetic phenomenon provides a nonjudgmental language and point of view that can be used easily by therapists and accepted by clients. She provides a wealth of information about different patterns of charge with different types of problems, as well as how to shift those patterns. The book provides plenty of exercises that can help therapists and their clients experience and embody different ways of being. I highly recommend this book.

Robert Schwarz, Psy.D., DCEP, Executive Director of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology, author of Tools for Transforming Trauma, and co-author of Were No Fun Anymore

By focusing on charge, on the flow of life energy through the body, Anodea Judith has given us a new way of looking at human behavior and emotion during trauma, healing, and self-regulation. If you want a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you, this book is for you.

Steven Kessler, psychotherapist and author of The 5 Personality Patterns

Anodea Judiths book Charge and the Energy Body is a fascinating and comprehensive view on life force. A great read for anyone interested in understanding how life force affects our physical, mental, and spiritual health. I especially love all the practical techniques to help us stay charged and vital on all these levels.

To my students and clients, whose courage and vulnerability have taught me so much about charge.

Contents

For as long as I can remember, I have pondered the human condition. As a young child, I was fascinated with what makes people tick. Im sure I was just trying to make sense of the quirky behavior I saw in those around me. I remember hearing my mother gossip about a neurotic neighbor or my crazy aunt, and I wondered why each one of them did what they did. From a childs perspective, adults didnt make a lot of sense, but they sure were interesting. I made them a constant study.
