MetaAnatomy Anatomy of a Yogi Volume Two Body Poetry

by Kristin Leal

In MetaAnatomy Volume Two- Body Poetry my intention is to reconnect. To make connections between the physical and energetic anatomy. To make connections between systems or schools of Yoga. To make connections between you and me as we share our embodied experience of being alive in these forms. Just like we can feel areas of great spaciousness or congestion in our lower backs we can experience that sensation in our own hearts. Just as we know ourselves to have standing patterns of tone and compensation, habits and patterns in our physical bodies, we experience the same, conceptually, in our mental and emotional forms. Some of our patterns support us, some are coping mechanisms, and some we find don't work for us anymore or even bring about suffering. Through exploration of our body maps and our own subtle forms we can bring about real, lasting, profound change to both our internal and external landscapes.Let's begin and dive inward using these poetic, subtle and experiential GPS maps to navigate the complexity and totality of who we are and who we can be. In Volume Two- Body Poetry we explore the maps and models of the Nadis, Chakras, Koshas and Vayus and take a closer look at the poetry of our breath, brain and heart. Each chapter also concludes with a meditation to help us reconnect to the embodied experience of our own physical and energetic anatomies.

I always like Kristin’s sense of humor and writing style. This book is very brief. If you want an in depth look into the nervous system and energetic body, this is not the book for you. It is a good introduction to some often unfamiliar and tough to grasp at-first-glance yoga concepts. There are some good nuggets here but there are entire books on things for which she only devoted one or two paragraphs. Hopefully, this wets your appetite for more intensive study.
