The best book I’ve ever read that fully explains how human beings react, respond to and suffer from stress over their lifetime (and how to positively change your reaction to stress). A must read for anyone with stress or anxiety.

Anatomy of the Spirit uses real, personal stories and a comprehensive review of the Chakra System to identify physical ailments or diseases associated with blockages around certain chakras.  It prompts deep self reflection through journaling exercises at the end of most chapters and encourages you to be an active participant in healing your mind, body and spirit.
