Subtle-body practices are found particularly in Indian, Indo-Tibetan and East Asian societies, but have become increasingly familiar in Western societies, especially through the various healing and yogic techniques and exercises associated with them. This book explores subtle-body practices from a variety of perspectives, and includes both studies of these practices in Asian and Western contexts.

The book discusses how subtle-body practices assume a quasi-material level of human existence that is intermediate between conventional concepts of body and mind. Often, this level is conceived of in terms of an invisible structure of channels, associated with the human body, through which flows of quasi-material substance take place. Contributors look at how subtle-body concepts form the basic explanatory structure for a wide range of practices. These include forms of healing, modes of exercise and martial arts as well as religious practices aimed at the refinement and transformation of the human mindbody complex.

By highlighting how subtle-body practices of many kinds have been introduced into Western societies in recent years, the book explores the possibilities for new models of understanding which these concepts open up. It is a useful contribution to studies on Asian Religion and Philosophy.

Recenzijos

"This collection of consistently excellent essays is the first academic study of the concept of the subtle body across many cultures, in pre-modern and contemporary societies, and in elite and vernacular traditions...The book has four parts, each with a helpful introduction by one of the editors...Summing up: Highly recommended."

- J. Bussanich, University of New Mexico, CHOICE

"This book would be of great interest to a general audience, and also for students of Asian religion, and especially Tibetan Buddhism. In sum, this book offers a rich exploration into a much-needed area of research."

- Loriliai Biernacki, University of Colorado, Asian Medicine 9 (2014) 273304
