Introduces ” ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT ” DR CAROLINE MYSS
roline Myss, Why People Don’t HealCaroline then pursued her interest in the language of symbols, myths, and archetypes, conducting research that enabled her to profile an individual’s “Sacred Contract,” a complex of 12 archetypal patterns that reflect in mythic language the agreements the soul made prior to birth. Based on this work, Caroline released SACRED CONTRACTS, which became her third New York Times bestseller. It is published in 18 languages and posts sales of well over 1.6 million copies. In 2003, Oprah Winfrey gave Caroline her own television program with the OXYGEN network in New York City, which ran successfully for one year.
Caroline followed with two more New York Times bestsellers, INVISIBLE ACTS OF POWER in 2004 and ENTERING THE CASTLE in 2007. Caroline’s latest book, DEFY GRAVITY, was released in October 2009, a book exploring the mystical phenomenon of healing that transcends reason.
In addition to her written work, Caroline has produced more than eighty audio/visual products on subjects that include healing, spirituality, personal development, and the study of archetypes.
Building on wisdom from Hindu, Christian, and Kaballah traditions, this comprehensive guide to energy healing reveals the hidden stresses, beliefs, and attitudes that cause illness.
Anatomy of the Spirit is the boldest presentation to date of energy medicine by one of its premier practitioners, internationally acclaimed medical intuitive Caroline Myss, one of the “hottest new voices in the alternative health/spirituality scene” (Publishers Weekly). Based on fifteen years of research into energy medicine, Dr. Myss’s work shows how every illness corresponds to a pattern of emotional and psychological stresses, beliefs, and attitudes that have influenced corresponding areas of the human body.
Anatomy of the Spirit also presents Dr. Myss’s breakthrough model of the body’s seven centers of spiritual and physical power, in which she synthesizes the ancient wisdom of three spiritual traditions-the Hindu chakras, the Christian sacraments, and the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life — to demonstrate the seven stages through which everyone must pass in the search for higher consciousness and spiritual maturity. With this model, Dr. Myss shows how you can develop your own latent powers of intuition as you simultaneously cultivate your personal power and spiritual growth.
By teaching you to see your body and spirit in a new way, Anatomy of the Spirit provides you with the tools for spiritual maturity and physical wholeness that will change your life. https://www.amazon.com/
This book focused on healing yourself and others with energy, as well as explaining the theories and concepts behind energy work. At times, this book seemed all over the place, but after going back to write my outline, I realized the connections and saw how valuable this information really was.
Some highlighted points:
- For energy work to be effective, we have to accept there is a human energy field, and that it carries all experiences, internal and external.
- When different people come into our lives, good and bad, we must look at them as teachers. The person that seems to be drawing our energy the most is a mirror of ourselves. Our task is to learn the lesson rather than resent the teacher.
- Detachment doesn’t mean we don’t care, but rather that we are detaching (letting go) from the fear of the outcome. Adra made a good point that this could also mean we are detaching from our ego and our attachment to how are ego will be rewarded or not through an outcome.
- We must be open and attentive to the guidance we receive from the universe every day.
- Quote from Peace Pilgrim: “I don’t eat junk food. I don’t think junk thoughts.”
Healing requires personal responsibility and taking action. Just like you can’t expect to run a marathon without training, you must work on yourself. The worst you could do is get caught up in the victim mentality. We might need to carry this burden to receive a spiritual healing.
More in-depth notes below…
The Human Energy Field:
- Electricity generated by living tissue creates an energy field around human beings that can be read by intuitives.
- This energy field carries our internal (memories, belief patterns, superstitions) and external (past and current relationships, personal and professional, and profound and traumatic experiences).
- The force carried in our field directly effects new tissue that then emits a certain quality of energy – “Biography becoming biology.”
Symptoms and illness are directly related to some sort of energy issue in your life, issues made manifest in the body.
The way to understand the cause of our issues is through symbolic sight.
- Life challenges are lessons
- People are teachers
- Issues are reflections of yourself
“..the person who seems to be drawing your energy is actually a reflection of some part of yourself. Concentrating on the person…will not heal you, you will be sent more and more teachers, each more intense. Your task is to learn the lesson rather than resent the teacher.”
Once you have identified the eternal truth associated with your ailment you can organize healing around learning from that truth.
Healing requires taking action
- Dedication and commitment
- Move through your wounds rather than live in them
- “Don’t waste time by thinking, acting or praying like a victim”
7 Universal Spiritual Truth and corresponding energy and physical systems

Continually reevaluate the truth and integrity of our beliefs
