Based on Vedic knowledge and work of Dr. Stone. Polar therapy. Explaining on:
- the Guna's, neutral, positive and negative energy.
- The relation of astrological signs with the body
- The step down process from universal field/causal plane, to mental/spirit, to the five elements
- The function of the elements (their purpose in the body/mind)
- How this step down relates to the 7 chakra's
- Massaging techniques to balance the chakra's.
- Theology - the relation between god and man
- Theomorphic principles
- Archetypes of Jung
- the function of the parasympathetic, sympathetic and cerebrospinal nervous system
- and much more Vedic knowledge on consciousness, sound, 'gods' etc
Critical note:
- quite difficult book to read
- Much repetition making the book thicker than it needed to be

To be honest I haven't quite finished this, it is a massive text book of information.
This is based on Vedic, Yogic, Ayurvedic knowledge as well as the work of Dr Stone on Polar therapy.
It shows how everything is connected within and around the body.
Includes: The chakras, the Guna's, astrological signs within the body, the elements and their purpose within the body and mind, massage techniques, the parasympathetic/sympathetic/cerebral-spinal systems, concept of consciousness and even Jungian Archetypes.
This text is meant to help us better understand the physical, emotional, spiritual concept of the body-mind and therefore empower us to understand our own illnesses that manifest and WHY they manifest in the body.
It is one of those books that make you go "Whoa!"
Very in depth, very intriguing.
