“Well organized, steadily paced, and bursting with information, this is a perfect reference guide for the serious-minded initiate.”—Kirkus Reviews An immersive guide to the ancient Indian tradition of pranayama that traces its evolution from shamanic and Vedic roots to modern yoga practices Integrates classical teachings with modern science, including anatomy and neurology, to explain the holistic benefits of pranayama Offers detailed physical and energetic preparation, including asanas, bandhas, and cleansing methods, plus instruction in over 25 pranayama techniques Pranayama, the ancient yogic art of conscious breathing, holds profound potential to transform your physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual awareness. Current research into the respiratory and nervous systems helps illuminate the holistic benefits of this tradition. In this book Mark Stephens presents an accessible and comprehensive study of pranayama. He details its roots in the pan-Eurasian shamanic tradition, the Vedas, Upanishads, early Buddhism and Jainism, and its fullest development through tantra, hatha yoga, and contemporary breathwork. Stephens offers systematic instruction for foundational practices, such as posture refinement, nasal cleansing, and pelvic floor activation. He also teaches advanced techniques for cultivating presence, interoception, and spiritual insight. Stephens shows how pranayama can benefit you across your lifespan, and he highlights its applicability to a range of health conditions, including pregnancy, ADHD, PTSD, long COVID, asthma, and other respiratory ailments. He shows how breathwork can deepen meditation, enhance intimacy, and restore our innate breathing rhythms that are often lost due to stress and social conditioning. Uniting ancient wisdom and contemporary science, Breathing offers an immersive and empowering path to transform your body and consciousness.

A scientific examination of magical practice Draws on peer-reviewed research in psychology and cognitive neuroscience, such as real-time brain imaging, to examine the effects of mystical states and magical practice Shows how being “in the zone;” as described by athletes and performers, is consistent with the ritualist’s state of mind when working magic Suggests rituals and routines to strengthen one’s practice of magic, witchcraft, meditation, and yoga with empirically proven tools By looking through the lens of psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and real-time brain imaging, Mind over Magick shows how and why ritual magical practice can produce profound experiences with tangible benefits. Richard Kaczynski draws on a wealth of peer-reviewed research to shed new light on magic. He uses psychological studies, including the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment in which subjects role-played as prisoners and guards, to reveal the power of magical vestments and personas and the effects they have on ritual practitioners. He shows how being “in the zone;” as described by athletes and performers, is consistent with the ritualist’s state of mind when working magic. He also reveals what neurological processes are involved when one encounters and works with spirits. Mind over Magick includes empirically proven rituals to strengthen one’s practice of magic, witchcraft, yoga, and meditation. Readers can then apply the scientific method to evaluate their own spiritual praxis and determine what works best for them. For solitary practitioners and group participants alike, the author shares what happens, both on a psychological and neurological level, when they enter sacred spaces and use ritual implements as well as enter deep meditative states. He also details the importance of initiation as a rite of passage and transformative method of instruction. By approaching the art of practicing magic as a science, readers are encouraged to hone a more effective and empirically grounded practice.

Describes how energy therapies are now gaining acceptance due to irrefutable proof of their effectiveness for clinical conditions from PTSD to phantom limb pain Examines the power of group energetics and team chemistry in sports and in society Explains how megalithic sacred sites are aligned with Earth's subtle energies and explores the energetics of crop circles and global consciousness Examining the wealth of evidence supporting the reality of the human biofield, Eric Leskowitz, M.D., explores the role of life energy in healing therapies and outlines its many manifestations at the individual, group, and global levels. He shows how energy therapies have been taboo in the West and reveals irrefutable evidence for their clinical benefits. He also describes the obstacles he faced in his own attempts to bring these holistic approaches into the world of academic medicine. The author's detailed exploration of phantom limb pain shows that this phenomenon is not a psychosomatic creation of the brain but is a tangible energetic structure: the human biofield in action. He explores group energetics and team chemistry, revealing how group situations—a concert, a meditation retreat, a sporting event—create their own energetic power. He shows how Stonehenge and other megaliths were built in alignment with Earth's own energy meridians, and he proposes that the mysterious phenomenon of crop circles may be emerging in harmony with Earth's subtle energies. Blending hard science with ancient healing wisdom, the author reveals how we can all thrive together by remembering our shared energetic roots and our undeniable interconnectedness through the global web of life energy and consciousness itself.

TAI CHI / AGES 4-8 Tai Chi is fun for children because they can imagine they are playing with birds, tigers, monkeys, and dragons. They can even pretend they are flying. However, children also reap the many health, learning, and social benefits of Tai Chi--focused attention, enhanced creativity, and improved balance, circulation, and overall health--through the eight simple exercises introduced in Tai Chi for Kids. Inspired by his own son's excitement with Tai Chi at the age of only three, master teacher Stuart Olson appeals to the innate imagination and playfulness of children to teach them the eight basic forms of a Tai Chi practice. Children will love imitating the animals shown in the colorful and playful illustrations, and the photographs of Olson's 7-year-old son, Lee Jin, provide the perfect guide to each of the postures. Olson uses the language of a storyteller, wonderful animal metaphors that invite children to pretend, and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions so that every child can enjoy such exercises as "Chasing the Monkeys Away," and "White Crane Cools Its Wings." The book is designed for children and parents to use together or for independent learning by older children. The book also includes an informative teaching tale of how Tai Chi first began. Tai Chi for Kids introduces children to a lifetime of physical fitness and good health. STUART ALVE OLSON has studied Tai Chi, meditation, and Chinese language for more than twenty-five years. Considered one of the leading authorities on Tai Chi, Stuart has published a number of books on the subject and has taught classes and workshops throughout the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. He presently lives in northern California. GREGORY CRAWFORD is a self-taught artist who has made his living as an illustrator and designer for more than thirty-five years. He has worked in advertising, magazine and book illustration, film, and television. He is also active in community theater and is a passionate amateur stonemason. Gregory lives in Vermont with his wife, Jacki, and their German shepherd, Athena.

Have you ever wondered why, despite great obstacles, some people achieve success, while others, though given everything, seem to squander it away? Or why some people, despite having very little, radiate joy, while others appear miserable though surrounded by opulence? The answer is Dharma: knowing your soul's purpose and living it is the key to creating a fulfilling life. Built on a deep body of Vedic knowledge, the ancient system of social structure and spiritual duty known as Dharma has modern applications for people seeking their life's purpose. Author Simon Chokoisky explains the five Dharma archetypes--Warrior, Educator, Merchant, Laborer, and Outsider--and how your life's purpose goes hand-in-hand with your Dharma type. Providing tests to determine your type, he outlines the benefits, challenges, emotional and learning styles, and social, interpersonal, and health dynamics associated with each type. Chokoisky reveals how the Dharma types function as an operating system for your identity, helping you map your life and play to your innate strengths, whether in choosing a prosperous career or field of study or in facing health challenges and meeting fitness goals. By accepting and understanding the nature of your type, you begin to align with your true purpose and, regardless of fate, find joy and meaning in life.

Wei explain how to use the energetic and physical practice of Chi Kung to balance hormones, offset abnormal cell growth, prevent uterine cancer, and restore sexual vigor to the female reproductive system. With step-by-step instructions, they provide exercises to open the energetic pathways connected to the female reproductive organs and clear the energy blockages that lead to sexual dysfunction and illness. They explain how to perform breast and female genital massage to circulate chi and sexual energy. They detail the practice of chi weight lifting--advanced Kegel-type exercises using a jade egg--to stimulate age-delaying hormones and strengthen the pelvic floor. To maximize the benefits of the exercises, the authors offer dietary guidance, restorative cleanses, and herbal remedies to further support female reproductive healing and maintenance of sexual desire.

A feline shifter finds a man who makes her roar in a novel by the New York Times-bestselling author who has "a gift with words and humor" (USA Today). Growing up on the tough Philly streets, Gwen O'Neill knows how to fend for herself. But what is she supposed to do with a nice suburban Jersey boy who has a tendency to turn into a massive Grizzly? Despite his menacing growl and four-inch claws, Gwen finds Lachlan "Lock" MacRyrie cute and really sweet. He actually watches out for her, and unlike the rest of her out-of-control family, manages not to morbidly embarrass her. Too bad cats don't believe in forever. At nearly seven feet tall, Lock is used to people responding to him in two ways: screaming or running away. Gwen--half lioness, half tigress, all kick-ass--does neither. She's sexy beyond belief and smart as hell, but she's so busy protecting her family and friends that she's forgetting about her own safety. Lock probably shouldn't get involved, but he can't simply walk away. Not when Gwen means absolutely everything to him.

Goodness is wonderful, its effect is amazing, and its consequences are astonishing, so whoever spends and exerts himself for good, the good increases for him, multiplies, and what decreases. Whoever monopolizes goodness for himself, and withholds his virtue from people despite his ability, goodness diminishes in his view, and it may disappear from him. The good that the writer Muhammad al-Mukwar talked about is the same good that you know, and everyone knows it, but from other angles. In the book (It is all good), the writer touches on real-life stories about goodness and its people, as in the story (He was succeeded by his family), which tells about a resident Arab man, who worked as an accountant with a simple salary, God blessed his livelihood, so he used to spend from his limited income on his daughters Young girls, his wife, and his widowed mother-in-law who takes care of him. And he would not forget the poor of his family in his town, and would help them with what he did Can. And in the prime of his youth and before he reached the age of forty, God willed that roll his page, and move to his mercy, leaving behind a widow, and five Young orphans, the oldest of whom is thirteen years old, and the youngest At the age of three. But God made subservient to his wife, and his daughters, those who bear their burdens after his death, and relieve them of the burdens of life. And this - and God knows best - is the result of sincere intention in doing good, and despite the fact that what he used to spend with goodness, given the size of his monthly income, is not much, but the giving of your Lord, the Righteous, the Merciful, the Most Merciful, the Most Generous, is limitless. And whoever fears for his offspring after him, let him do a righteous deed that will benefit people in his life, and entrust them with the protection of God, for this is the guarantee, preservation, and safety, as the writer Muhammad al-Mukwar says.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are a bridge between two worlds, the capital markets at one end and the real estate sector on the other, leading to a unique risk/return profile. They bear benefits neither of which can realize standing alone, resembling a hybrid between real estate and equity. REITs invest directly in property and pass on almost all earnings to their shareholders as dividends. By distributing most of their profits, REITs get special tax treatment and avoid corporate income tax. Because of that REITs have proven very attractive to investors: Their returns have beaten most major equity benchmarks over three decades, with lower volatility, while offering predictable cash flows and high dividend yields. Further, they have a low correlation with other asset classes, aiding portfolio diversification. In Germany real estate has been the most popular investment theme of the past three years, despite its significant underperformance compared to European peers, with open-end funds receiving almost all money inflows. The listed sector, however, is insignificant, both in terms of size and liquidity, and is in desperate need of a catalyst. The introduction of a G-REIT structure could potentially be the long-awaited saviour that could transfer the importance of German real estate into the listed sector. The REIT discussion in Germany has reached a serious stage, as almost all of the involved parties seemingly agreed about the usefulness of a REIT structure. The purpose of this book is to highlight the case for REITs in Germany, to analyse the progress of REITs in countries that have already installed a REIT regime and to look at what the introduction of a G-REIT would ultimately mean for the German real estate market.

In this audiobook, John Chancer narrates the story of how beef conquered America and gave rise to the modern industrial food complexBy the late nineteenth century, Americans rich and poor had come to expect high-quality fresh beef with almost every meal. Beef production in the United States had gone from small-scale, localized operations to a highly centralized industry spanning the country, with cattle bred on ranches in the rural West, slaughtered in Chicago, and consumed in the nation's rapidly growing cities. Red Meat Republic tells the remarkable story of the violent conflict over who would reap the benefits of this new industry and who would bear its heavy costs.Joshua Specht puts people at the heart of his story—the big cattle ranchers who helped to drive the nation's westward expansion, the meatpackers who created a radically new kind of industrialized slaughterhouse, and the stockyard workers who were subjected to the shocking and unsanitary conditions described by Upton Sinclair in his novel The Jungle. Specht brings to life a turbulent era marked by Indian wars, Chicago labor unrest, and food riots in the streets of New York. He shows how the enduring success of the cattle-beef complex—centralized, low cost, and meatpacker dominated—was a consequence of the meatpackers' ability to make their interests overlap with those of a hungry public, while the interests of struggling ranchers, desperate workers, and bankrupt butchers took a backseat. America—and the American table—would never be the same again.Compelling and unfailingly enjoyable, Red Meat Republic reveals the complex history of exploitation and innovation behind the food we consume today.

Order now to receive the stunning DELUXE LIMITED EDITION- only available on the first printing while supplies last! The collector's hardcover features stenciled edges and a color illustrated map of Oz. What happened to young Elphaba before her witchy powers took hold in Wicked? Almost 30 years after the publication of the original novel, for the first time Gregory Maguire reveals the much-anticipated origin story of prickly young Elphie, the future Wicked Witch of the West-setting the stage for the blockbuster international phenomenon that is Wicked: The Musical. Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, will grow to have a feisty and somewhat uncompromising character in adult life. But in this must-read fantasy series opener, she is always a one-off, from her infancy; Elphie is the riveting coming-of-age story of a very peculiar and relatable young girl. Young Elphie is shaped and molded by the behaviors of her promiscuous mother, Melena, and her pious father, Frex. She suffers ordinary childhood jealousies when her sister, saintly Nessarose, and brother, junior felon Shell, arrive. She first encounters the mistreatment of the talking Animal populations of Oz, which live adjacent to but not intertwined with human settlements, haunted by a Monkey and receiving aid from Dwarf Bears. She thrashes through her first bruising attempts at friendship, a fraught sisterhood, and a possible lifeline from her tricky family life. And she gleans the benefits of an education, haphazard though it must be-until she arrives at the doors of Shiz University, about to meet the radiant creature that is Galinda. Elphie is destined to be a witch; she bears the markings from childhood-most evidently in her green skin but more obscurely and profoundly in her cunning and perhaps amoral behaviors, as she seeks to make do, to slip by, to sneak out, to endure, and to aspire.

Biotech in the Balance by Dr. Jeremy M. Levin shows why the next lifesaving medicines may not arrive on time, and what we can do about that in a period of political change. This is not a technical book. It is a bedside-to-boardroom story, told from inside the system, with a clear map of what has to change so that medicines keep arriving when people need them. When funding for research and development is politicized, trust in science erodes and the foundations of biotechnology weaken. When science is treated as a partisan symbol rather than a shared foundation for health, patients and families bear the consequences. Dr. Levin's career began as a scientist studying the structure of DNA, and then as a physician in university hospitals in London, Cape Town, and Geneva. As a doctor, he saw the difference between patients saved by medicines that arrived just in time, and those who were not so fortunate. That experience led to a simple conviction: drug discovery and development is not an abstract business. It is a living coalition of scientists, governments, businesses, and—above all—patients. For patients and their families, profitability and internal strategy are not the point. What matters is whether a therapy works, how quickly results can be seen, and how benefits are weighed against risks—including the risk of doing nothing.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Medienökonomie, -management, Note: 1,3, University of Newcastle upon Tyne (Sport Economics), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This essay tries to identify the relation between social media and public relations, the opportunities social media offers and the challenges it bears. Furthermore, it attempts to emphasize the meaning of social media for the work of contemporary sport managers with public relations responsibilities by analysing different studies about the use of social media and by considering social media websites of well-known sports companies.In times of globalisation and worldwide interconnectedness, traditional media, such as magazines and newspapers, lose ground. People work and communicate differently nowadays, using social media and mobile applications as daily platforms of communication and networking. Social media is not only increasing in importance for private people and businesses, especially the sports industry seems to benefit from this digital development. What does the term 'social media' exactly mean and why does it play such an important role in our today's life? Social media can be broadly defined as websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or participate in social networking. The rise in popularity of social media websites such as Twitter, Facebook or Linked-in is tremendous. Sports clubs are realising that using social media is the future and allows improving and extending their businesses. According to Briones, Kuch, Liu and Jin (2011), "practicing public relations through social media is effective and necessary in the emerging digital age" and the understanding and application of social media practices helps to build strong, lasting relationships. The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (no date) defines public relations as: "the deliberate, planned and sustained effort to establish maintain mutual understanding between an organisation and its publics."

Explores the educational potential of empathy in literary studies, offering interdisciplinary readings of popular texts and discussing their relation to empathy, while resisting neoliberal commodification of education and recommending future teaching approaches Empathy in the Reading and Teaching of Literature explores the educational potential of empathy for literary studies across a historical, generic and geographic continuum. The book draws on interdisciplinary methodologies to offer new readings of popularly taught literary texts and discuss their relation to empathy. As a result, the book resists neoliberalism's commodification of empathy and makes recommendations for the future of the teaching of literature at school and university. The book begins by providing a theoretical and historical overview of empathy as a term and educational tool in the English speaking context. The first two chapters lay the groundwork for the remaining close reading chapters by introducing two new terms: 'pop empathy' and 'empathic education'. I argue that pop empathy is defined by neoliberalism and the commodification of empathy in marketing, advertising, politics and artificial intelligence and that this is impacting the rhetoric of contemporary educational policy in Australia and the United States. Empathic education is defined by educational theory and practice where the experience of empathy is foregrounded as a form of knowledge creation or acquisition. I draw pop empathy and empathic education into conversation throughout the book and use both terms to assist my argument that a complex approach to empathy for literary studies may benefit classroom teaching and learning by resisting over-systematised education. The remaining chapters of the book offer four unique approaches to empathic literary criticism informed by interdisciplinary methodologies, including educational theory, cognitive science, the philosophy of psychology and literary studies. Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6 provide readings of texts frequently prescribed for English literary study belonging to different genres: Shakespeare's Hamlet, the poetry of John Keats, the short stories 'A Good Man Is Hard to Find' and 'Everything That Rises Must Converge' by Flannery O'Connor, and Mark Haddon's novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Each chapter engages with the text's historical educational context and its contemporary relation to empathy while offering fresh close readings by applying a critical empathy lens. As a result, these chapters complicate and contribute to debates about the empathic value of subject English. I show how the authors and texts studied bear the mark of empathic education and as a result they offer unique impressions of empathy's make-up and capabilities. Through my readings, I show how empathy has consistently featured in literary studies across time periods and genres while complicating popular rhetorical uses of empathy. I address this wide scope of historical and generic texts as they relate to the current educational landscape because I argue for a new approach to integrating empathy into subject English that privileges empathy as a form of critical interpretation rather than a student outcome.
