BODY TYPES: PHYSICAL AND CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES These descriptions are guidelines defining physical parameters and are not hard- and-fast rules. They are descriptions of "pure types" which are rarely found. The types also combine, but only in the following order: Saturnine/Martial, Martial/Jovial, Jovial/Lunar, Lunar/Venusian, Venusian/Mercurial, Mercurial/ Saturnine."° Anterior Pituitary/Saturnine Type: Physical attributes: Very tall, long bones, high/prominent cheekbones, strong jaw, high forehead. Character attributes: Austere, cautious, great powers of endurance, impartiality, moderation, tolerance, seriousness. Chief weakness: Dominance, the desire to produce order. Chief strengths: Leadership, responsibility. Adrenal/Martial Type: Physical attributes: Small, muscular, robust; often have short, thick neck on rounded but powerful shoulders; strong jaw-line; often pale, ruddy or freckled complexion with red hair. Character attributes: Aggressive, blunt, bold, competitive. Chief weakness: Flair for destructive behaviour. Chief strengths: Honesty, courage. Posterior Pituitary/Jovial Type: Physical attributes: Large frame, big waist, thin legs; large, round heads, with men prone to baldness; both sexes often have poor eyesight. Character attributes: Ambitious, dramatic, gregarious; attracted to arts, literature. Chief weaknesses: Vanity; power, the need to subordinate others. Chief strength: Harmonising influence. Pancreas/Lunar Type: Physical attributes: Small, unassuming; pale complexion; often a receding chin, small in proportion to rest of face; very fine hair, usually brown, light brown or jet black. Habitual posture or facial expression is suspicious, resistant or withdrawn. Character attributes: Aloof, moody, often quite eccentric but with an orderly, practi- cal side; pessimistic, timid, secretive. Chief weakness: Wilfulness, the compulsion to resist or say no to everything. Chief strengths: Loyalty, determination. Parathyroid/Venusian Type: Physical attributes: Gracefully rounded, shapely or well-balanced features; a soft voluptuousness, with tendency towards classic pear-shape ending in thick ankles; abundant, wavy hair, usually black or dark brown. Character attributes: Very sympathetic, accepting, charming. Chief weaknesses: No sense of individuality or lives through others; can be indeci- sive, slow or lazy. Chief strength: Strong nurturing instinct. Thyroid/Mercurial Type: Physical attributes: Short, wiry, compact, usually extremely agile; angular face; medium-fair or dark hair. Character attributes: Tidy, fastidious; cheeky, playful quality; entertaining, witty; brimming with nervous energy, which can make this type shallow, impatient, criti- cal; psychologically perceptive. Chief weaknesses: Vanity; ability to manipulate others. Chief strengths: Adaptability; speed of intellect and motor skills. Thymus/Solar Type: Physical attributes: Small, thin, waiflike with a light, supple, childlike body, slender waist, delicate features and health; transparent milk-and-roses skin, little body hair; androgynous. Character attributes: Childlike, gullible. Chief weakness: Naiveté. Chief strengths: Imagination; creativity. responds. The fact of harmony between Heaven and Earth, Earth and Man does not come from a physical union, from a direct action; it comes from a tuning on the same note, producing vibrations in unison..."" SIGNATURE SOUNDS Research being done into BioAcoustics, by US-based subtle-energy medicine group Signature Sound Works, is establishing that every substance, structure and process in the human body has its own specific fre- quency. BioAcoustic™ sound therapy works on the principle that every person emits "signature sounds" that are unique to each individual and contain information about physical and psychological states. Notes that are in stress are brought into bal- ance using sounds delivered at brain-wave levels. The brain then entrains the missing notes and reverses the disease process. BioAcoustics researchers, with the help of many people including medical profes- sionals, have compiled overwhelming evi- dence that the molecular weights of com- pounds converted to frequencies and deliv- ered as sound produce similar results to administering substances orally or intra- venously. It seemed extraordinary, but the evidence was so supportive that they could not deny the link. Since then, the BioAcoustics group has compiled an ency- clopaedic volume of specific frequencies for individual organs, muscles, etc. and for hundreds of substances and compounds. Following this research, I worked on the theory that each endocrine gland either had its own "note" or produced hormones whose molecular weights bore some har- monic affinity with the frequencies of the planets. This is, I believe, the connecting link between the planets and body type. The planetary tides raise frequencies already present in the atmosphere above a critical threshold where they can affect the sensitive glands. COUSTO AND THE COSMIC OCTAVE Drawing on examples from music, biolo- gy, chemistry and astronomy, Hans Cousto, in his stimulating and original book, The Cosmic Octave, explores the harmonic properties of the structure of the solar sys- tem and effectively demonstrates that every scale, from atom to galaxy, is linked to every other by the law of the octave. Cousto reports that a large Munich print- ing company was experiencing interference with the quality of their rotogravure print- ing process and was anxious to know why. They suspected the gelatine used in the process was being affected by the weather. 50 + NEXUS DECEMBER 1999 — JANUARY 2000
