From the author: Eye of the Lotus is a book about chakra psychology, an esoteric look at the
qualitative philosophy and psychology of being and how chakras affect mental, spiritual,
emotional, and physical aspects of our life. The book includes a [large] appendix of chakra
balancing and toning exercises, prayers, meditations, yoga, etc. It is the culmination of almost 17
years of spiritual counseling and my intuitive observations of the “whole human being.”

Abstract: In February 1984, it was decided to resort to non-verbal expressive techniques as a
suitable way for doing group psychotherapy with psychotic patients. A corporal language
technique was selected which comprised (a) sense-perception elements, (b) corporal expression,
and (c) yoga, arranged in five-step sessions: space acknowledgment, deep-breathing exercise,
palpation of an osteoarticular structure, motility test of the previously palpated zone, and
expressive exercise. Such an experiment was carried out with a group of psychotic patients,
another group with psychosomatic symptoms, and a third, changeable, heterogenous group, with,
obviously, a control group. Observations were made of patients’ behavior during sessions, and
their clinical progress throughout. All patients showed good response to the movement proposals,
and no emotional excesses were detected. It was clinically observed that, in all cases, sociability
improved, and anxiety decreased—in this connection, medication could be cut down accordingly.
As regards 2 schizophrenic female patients, biological therapy could be ruled out.
