CELLULAR AWAKENING
BARBARA WREN
PUBLISHER: HAY HOUSE
ISBN: 978 1 84850 103 4
It is acknowledged that feng shui analyses influences the interaction between people and their external environment in order to enhance their quality of life. That in itself recognises the inter-connectedness of both. If, rather like me, you have searched for a plausible explanation as to how and why feng shui works, here at last is the book that you have been waiting for.
For almost 40 years, Barbara Wren has been researching into the pure connectedness that the cells in our bodies have with the outer environment. As founder of the College of Natural Nutrition, her very individual naturopathic approach to wellness, inner and universal wisdom has become somewhat legendary.
At last, the remarkable technical information that Barbara has gathered, established and demonstrated is available for us all to share. She describes the patterns of our cellular functions, expounding the core reasons why there actually is no separation between how our own bodies work and the surroundings in which we find ourselves.
Cellular Awakening brings confirmation that feng shui has a profoundly meaningful significance. At the same time, to my mind at least, it turns on its head the acceptance that feng(wind) -shui (water) relates exclusively to the landscape of our surrounding environment. When you read the book you will learn how the body requires oxygen (wind) and hydration (water) to function healthily and it is these conditions that enable bringing it in tune with universal rhythms.
The book explains in fascinating detail how, in the right conditions of cellular hydration and alkaline balance, light is produced and stored by our cells and how it travels from cell to cell within our bodies. Clusters of negatively charged particles collect outside cell membranes to form what are termed' electron clouds' These clouds accept and hold light in the form of bio-photons, sub atomic particles of light which illuminate the DNA within each cell and facilitate its connection with the universal laws of nature.
It is no coincidence that the healthy body has a resonance which perfectly matches the earth's own natural resonance known as Schumann waves. Nor that around seventy percent of our body is water and seventy percent of the earth's surface is water too. You will learn about the cosmic photon belt and find out that our solar system influences us as the planets go through their orbits and you will discover why essential fatty acids are needed and used by the body in differing requirements, corresponding exactly to different latitudinal locations on Earth.
Throughout the book there are many references to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the five elements and ancient Chinese wisdom. Did the early Chinese know something crucial about the relationship between the cosmic universe, the terrestrial environment and the human body that became lost in time? Is it possible that through the progressive destruction of many original documents concerning feng shui by Chinese emperors, political leaders and others, the truth about its fundamentally significant value became lost? Perhaps now, at last the truth is unfolding once again.
In the realistic, intelligent and thought provoking language of Cellular Awakening, you will learn how our own microcosm connects people with the outer world about us, constantly interacting with and influencing each other. Ways in which light vibrating in our own bodily vehicle brings us into balance and harmony with the macrocosm, and universal wisdom. Included are useful dietary guidelines and naturopathic techniques to help your personal development.
Discover amazing new knowledge about realising your own potential at a truly cellular level. A must- read book for everyone seeking a factual explanation for universal connectivity.
Next year Barbara Wren will be presenting a one-day course on Cellular Awakening for the Feng Shui Society. Look out for the announcement on the Society's website or email Sylvia@fengshui-living.com to be included on the mailing list.
