Ringing Cedars of Russia ( I think this may have been posted before, but..)

[lildreamer316]

I couldn't find it, so just in case anyone is interested:

"The Ringing Cedars Series, published by Ringing Cedars Press, is a nine-book collection by Siberian trader Vladimir Megré that chronicles the life of Anastasia, a mysteriously powerful woman who has inspired millions of readers worldwide to cast away their old lifestyles in pursuit of a purer existence.

These books have proven to be immensely, almost inexplicably popular. During the just-completed, three-year translation process (by John Woodsworth, research associate with the Slavic Research Group at the University of Ottawa), word-of-mouth demand has resulted in sales of over 90,000 copies of these books across the English-speaking world. All told, the series has sold over 10 million copies worldwide

In short, they are about everything. The Ringing Cedars Series is neither fiction nor non-fiction, but something else entirely.

Like nothing you've ever read before, the Ringing Cedars Series challenges our entire way of living and thinking—with a scope so vast it cannot be easily confined to a single category! The books are written in a story-format narrated by the author, Megré, and they read like a fascinating novel, but they have the authenticity of a documentary account and repeatedly present mind-blowing insights of incredible depth.

The books are full of practical wisdom grounded in ancient knowledge passed down through Anastasia's lineage and contain a wealth of information on improving one's existence and on living in communion with the Universe.

Anastasia opens our eyes to lost knowledge on dozens of subjects—from the causes of stress and unhappiness to the meaning of human life, from raising healthy, happy children to creating healing gardens (tailored to an individual's exact health needs), from ancient megalithic science to the esoteric power of breast-feeding, from sacred sexuality to the supressed history of world religions, and lots more! In fact—there's hardly a topic, of relevance to establishing a happy, natural existence and restoring the planet, that is not covered. "


The phrase 'ringing cedar' refers to this:

"An 117 year old Siberian elder and his father, who will introduce you to the remarkable 'ringing cedar' tree of Siberia (also called Siberian pine, Pinus sibirica) that over its 500 year lifetime has accumulated so much cosmic energy that it has started emitting a vibrating 'ringing' sound. They report that this tree or pieces of its wood can produce a beneficial influence on human health and consciousness."

Just thought I would re-post in case it spoke to anyone. I have several books I want to get to before checking into these, so it's going to be a bit before i can give a review. Also, siberan cedars were just mentioned on concious media network, so it may have more devotees thann before. I know that since I checked in a few months ago, the website has been revamped and is easier to read, and the English translations have been done on most, if not all the books on a second printing.
