Emotion and Healing in the Energy Body: A Handbook of Subtle Energies in Massage and Yoga
A comprehensive guide to emotional blockages in the energy body and their physical manifestations
• Details how emotional trauma, long-term stress, and environmental influences cause energy blockages in the subtle body that affect the physical body
• Explores more than 30 specific physical ailments, detailing the energetic origins of each condition and which meridians, chakras, and points are affected
• Explains how to interpret and work with energies released in massage and during yoga practice
In this comprehensive guide to subtle energy and its associated physical manifestations, Robert Henderson reveals how the discomfort and pain you carry in your physical body is related to the energies of the life you have experienced.
The author explains the eight types of subtle Emotional, which carries anger, fear, love, and other emotions; Mental, which affects patterns of behavior, beliefs, actions, and memories; Spiritual, which influences intuition, inspiration, and transcendent states; Sexual, which affects creativity, spontaneity, and excitement; Environmental, which arises from stress at work, tension at home, and other outside influences; Interpersonal, which comes from interactions with family, lovers, and friends; Ancestral, the energy of the lives of your parents up to the time of your conception; and Karmic, the energy of your past lives.
Detailing how these energies are drawn in by the chakras and distributed throughout the body by the meridians, the author explains how suffering acute emotional trauma or long-term stress causes negative energies to accumulate in the energy body much like fat deposits. Our physical body reacts to these energy blockages, leading to physical conditions such as closed hips, tight hamstrings, digestive distress, chronic pain, and persistent tension in areas like the shoulders. The author explores more than 30 specific physical ailments, providing the energetic origins of each condition, the exact location of the corresponding energy blockage, and which meridians, chakras, and points are affected. He covers sexual energy in depth, explaining how to handle repressed energy as it is released during yoga or massage.
As the author shows, physical ailments caused by the energies of hurtful life events can be healed through massage and yoga, allowing you to become open to the free and spontaneous circulation of energy through the subtle body.

This book felt like the sixth chakra focused teaching he mentions--that there's a deeper wisdom here that you can't quite articulate rationally. I find myself thinking of some of the things he says not in reference to yoga or massage but more in a manner of therapeutic, self-awareness talk: for example, the notion that we have unconscious desires and needs that guide our choices and impact others' bodies. (Sounds so obvious when I write it that way, but the way in which he connects it to our bodily energies is what was eye-opening for me.)
What was very illuminating for me was reading about how we do not "take on others' negative energies," rather we are triggered when others have struggles that resonate with us, even on an uncsoncious level.
It's a book that drew me in, giving me the sense as I read it that I was being let in on a very empowering and esoteric knowledge. And after the fact, as I process it, I feel that it has given me a new means new means of empathy and compassion for myself and others--there is a great deal we inherit and are subjected to and cannot control, but we can at least try to know what is happening with us and recognize and accept it.

A lot of information.
I wanted more info on the subtle body, and this book had a lot. I knew nothing about massage and chakras, now I do.
