"Religious Therapeutics explores the relationship between psychophysical health and spiritual health and presents a model for interpreting connections between religion and medicine in world traditions. This model emerges from the work’s investigation of health and religiousness in classical Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra—three Hindu traditions noteworthy for the central role they accord the body, Author Gregory P.

Fields compares Anglo-European and Indian philosophies of body and health and uses fifteen determinants of health excavated from texts of ancient Hindu medicine to show that health concerns the person, not the body or body/mind alone. This book elucidates multifaceted views of health, and in the context of spirituality and healing—explores themes such as mental health, meditation, and music.

"Dressing the Colonised Body explores popular, political and symbolic meanings assigned to dress in a variety of colonial contexts in Sri Lanka; thus it focusses on the politics of nationalism and identity under late colonialism. Proceeding from the understanding that self-representation is at its peak at the moment of political independence, the author examines the lineages that exist between that moment in Sri Lanka and the colonial past, as also the meaning of the commemorations that took place on Independence Day.

But we have mostly done this unconsciously, which is why we may now feel unfulfilled. 'Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul' will help us to reconnect with our ideal sense of self, guiding us one step at a time through a remarkable process of renewal and discovery.

Chopra invites us all to live from the soul, to satisfy our deepest desires in a life rich with joy and meaning. 'You are inventing your body in every moment of life,' (less)
