About Survivors: True Meditation, Healing of Mental Injuries, a Vietnam War Massacre, and the Meeting with Chi by Gustav Wik introduces new healing techniques for mental injuries

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (MMD Newswire) April 3, 2009 -- About Survivors: True Meditation, Healing of Mental Injuries, a Vietnam War Massacre, and the Meeting with Chi by Gustav Wik seeks to demonstrate the power of meditation to heal mental injuries and psychic trauma commonly found in cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To illustrate his approach, Wik considers various cases of PTSD related to the Vietnam War and its aftermath.

"True meditation can help us discover the vanity in clinging and grasping for material values," Wik says. "In contemporary times of economic uncertainty, that message is even more important."

More than just a primer on mental injuries, the book also recounts the author's travels in Vietnam, including a stop at the village of My Lai. Often referred to as "Pinkville" during the Vietnam War due to its persistent Viet Cong activity, the village is widely recognized as the site of various atrocities during the conflict. Wik encountered survivors and descendents of the tragedies that took place there and shares their stories as they relate to the process of mental injury recovery through meditation.
