Welcome, Spring! March 2011 Titles

The birds are beginning to chirp, the trees are regaining their leaves, and pollen is once again causing sneezing fits — spring must be on its way! However, whether you’re escaping the last of the frigid storms or staring at your garden bed for signs of life, remember that a watched pot never boils. Spring will be here eventually. Let the weather run its course while you settle down with some new knowledge. In Atlantis, Arysio Santos brings to light evidence from the ancient world and contemporary science to provide the most compelling case yet of the disappearance of an entire civilization. In a similarly mysterious study, in Cranio-Sacral-SELF-Waves, Olaf J. Korpiun explains how Craniosacral Therapy can release pain and trauma as well as support the body’s healing process. In volume one of Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics, Franklyn Sills explains how Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy focuses on a spiritual approach. The status quo of the medical world continues to be questioned in Harvey Bigelsen’s revealing and provocatively titled Doctors are More Harmful than Germs.

In this groundbreaking study of Atlantis, Professor Arysio Santos draws on history, folklore, languages, and the occult to bring to light groundbreaking evidence of the fabled city’s existence. Illustrated with ancient maps, Greek dialogues, and folkloric narratives from countless groups, Atlantis demonstrates that Plato’s dating of Atlantis’ disappearance in 11,600 BP (before present) precisely corresponds to the catastrophic end of the Pleistocene Ice Age. Santos explains that at the time of this global climate change the sea rose almost 500 feet, submerging entire nations, including Atlantis. The ancient city is even connected to the Garden of Eden through multiple references of biblical passages that describe an ancient coastal paradise in present-day Indonesia. Each chapter offers new compelling evidence through topics such as the continents appearance on ancient topographical charts, Classical interpretations of the city’s existence, and American theories of Atlantis’ rediscovery.

In Cranio-Sacral-SELF-Waves, author Olaf J. Korpiun explains how Craniosacral Therapy, an increasingly popular medical practice, can help heal the body naturally from forces within ourselves. The practice stresses a healing process that aims to avoid the intervention of doctors, surgery, or engineered medicines. Korpiun expands on William Sutherland’s famous theory of the “breath of life,” an unexplained power that has the ability to correct bodily malfunctions from natural inner forces. Drawing on physics, anatomy, physiology, embryology, and osteopathy, this theory finds scientific evidence that the original source of craniosacral power is a resonant movement from an energy field in the universe. Korpiun explains that oscillating waves of rhythm control biological flows within living beings. Through the manipulation of Cranio-Sacral-SELF-Waves (“SELF” standing for “Super-Extreme-Low-Frequency”) one can work with patterns of motion in the body in a more focused and productive way that leads to curing  physical and psychological problems.

In Foundations in Craniosacral Biodynamics, Franklyn Sills explains that a biodynamism encompasses an entirely spiritual realm of craniosacral science that offers revolutionary new routes to the bettering of one’s life. Sills explains how biodynamic work focuses on the development of perceptual skills where the practitioner learns to become sensitive to subtle breathing exercises known as “primary respiration,” which can often lead to spontaneous healing. This “Breath of Life” is akin to many religious themes such as the holy ghost in the Christian tradition and Tai Chi in Taoism. The practices allow the user to enter a trance of self-reflection oriented toward their own inherent ability to heal themselves from within. This slowly emerging field within craniosacral science is a powerful new force in the world of alternative medicine and breathing medical practices.

In Doctors are More Harmful than Germs, Harvey Bigelsen questions the entire ideology that surrounds the Western world of medicine and corrective surgery. In the book, he posits that doctors continually over-prescribe surgery while ignoring the long-term health effects that these invasive and unnatural procedures can cause. Inflammation, Bigelsen claims, is a bi-product of most medical operations, and the real cause of all chronic disease. He charges that Western medicine and science have not “cured” a single chronic condition. The only solution to a person’s ailments, he believes, is to treat each patient as an individual with specific needs rather than viewing them as a body with a set of symptoms, and to look at past treatments as the root cause of pain in an individual. Doctors are More Harmful than Germs takes on the epic task of questioning the well-established institution of Western medicine, a venture than could very well undermine the status quo of the medical practice.
