All of Dennis' acupuncture and Chinese philosophy books started out as one book called "Many Paths: One Center." When it became obvious that this material was too much for just one book, the project was broken down to smaller categories-hence the fifteen books. Nevertheless, all of these books have been developing together so they will fit together nicely like a Chinese puzzle. That's why it has taken so long between publications to date.
As this material comes together and workable drafts of all of these books are completed, the publication of any given book becomes more tangible. As the entire project gets nearer to being completed, less time is required to finish each book. Therefore in the near future, the publishing time between books will get shorter and shorter.
If you are sincerely interested in mastering this material don't get behind! If you haven't ordered any of the more recent books, now is the time to do so because the next one is right around the corner. In the meanwhile, familiarize yourself with the forthcoming titles so you know what the Big Picture is.
Also, if you want to be kept up to date about new publications even as they are being written, sign up to be on our mailing list now! Doing so will place you in the inner circle so you will be informed about this information before it is released to the general public.

The Art of Bliss: Sacred Proportion in Acupuncture and Meditation
|
|
|
|
|
"The Art of Bliss" discusses Yin-Yang polarity in acupuncture in terms of sacred geometry. In the mid-1980s at the Acupuncture and Shiatsu Therapy Center in Boston, Dennis taught how the seventy-one meridians of acupuncture polarize from Non-Being through Yin-Yang polarity and how these polarizations can be easily visualized through sacred geometry. He traces this movement from point, to line, to surface, to solid and then through the progression of Tetrahedron, Octahedron, Cube, Dodecahedron, and Icosahdron so that the Yin-Yang polarity between these figures and these meridians can be more easily visualized and understood.
In this current work, he furthers this study to include the points of acupuncture and their relation to each other through these principles. These relations fit into either of two different categories: the binary and golden proportions. The binary proportion describes how cells can most effectively multiply and can be used to tonify living functions as well as to promote the proliferation of cancer cells in the disease progression or decrease them in healing procedures. In contrast, the golden proportion describes how different systems can more effectively co-exist in the same time and space harmoniously for the highest level of well-being. Dennis analyzed the relationship between the 360 acupuncture points with one another and came up with effective treatments based on these proportions for each of the organ systems. When applied to people, the results were extremely transformational. People glowed on the treatment table and many old holding patterns were released.
This book also extends these principles to meditation so that therapist, client, and lay person together can all benefit from this revelation.
