Book Review : The Magical Body by Akanksha Srivastava

There are books that don’t simply inform you, they rearrange something inside you. The Magical Body by Anita Sehgal and Dr. Sanjiv Malik is one of those rare works that reveals the body not as a machine but as a living field of intelligence, memory, and quiet miracles. It shows how the stories we hold, the emotions we store, and the experiences we’ve lived shape the body’s rhythms in ways far deeper than we realise. It invites you to see the body as a partner in awareness, not just a vessel you inhabit.

In “The Magical Body: A Book Dialogue,” Akanksha Srivastava opens this exploration with depth and clarity, helping you trace the book’s ideas into your own lived experience. Together, you’ll look at how energy moves through the body, how illness can speak in metaphors, and how the body often knows the truth long before the mind catches up. This is not a discussion about theory, it is an invitation to see yourself differently.

Join Akanksha Srivastava on 12th December at 5:30 PM (online) for a conversation that is gentle, insightful, and grounding. Come if you’re curious about the intelligence of your own body, or if you’ve sensed that your physical experiences hold layers you haven’t yet understood. Leave with a deeper listening to your sensations, your signals, your inner world and perhaps a renewed respect for the quiet magic you carry.

Description

Join us for an evening of reflection and revelation, a live online session where body-wisdom meets insight, and one book becomes a window into the subtle language of your own being.

There are times in life when pain, discomfort or restlessness seem random but what if they are signals, not problems? What if your physical sensations, your recurring tensions, your “aches” are not just biology, but messages from a deeper intelligence waiting to be heard? The Magical Body by Anita Sehgal and Dr. Sanjiv Malik invites us to see the body not as a vessel to be fixed, but as a living, feeling archive one that holds memory, emotion, and healing potential. Through its pages you begin to understand how body, mind, and energy interweave, how discomfort can signal misalignment, and how awareness can awaken wholeness. 

In this live session, Akanksha Srivastava will guide a book-dialogue that is much more than a summary. You’re invited to move beyond reading, into resonance, to sense what your body has been signalling, to reflect on how old patterns may have shaped your physical form, and to consider how healing begins with listening as much as with change. We’ll explore how the body speaks, how subtle tension becomes story, and how awareness can begin to rewrite that story.

The Benefits of This Book Review Experience:

  • Embodied Awareness – Learn to recognise physical sensations as intelligence, not problems.
  • Mind-Body Insight – Understand how emotions, memories, and life experiences can manifest in posture, tension, or habitual patterns.
  • Inner Listening – Start building a relationship with your body’s signals rather than pushing them away.
  • Healing Orientation – Explore ways to respond to discomfort with awareness, compassion, and conscious alignment.
  • Holistic Integration – Bridge the gap between what you feel, what you think, and how you live — forging coherence between body, mind, and being.
