"Yggdrasil, Odin or the legendary home of the gods, Valhalla: Mysterious names and fascinating tales from Norse mythology continue to captivate adults to this day – and even more so fire up the vivid imagination of children. If your child's eyes light up at heroic legends, grab this book and dive together into the breathtaking world of the Germanic gods!
Whether it's Wagner's opera cycle The Ring, the Nibelungenlied or series like American Gods and Vikings – the age of the Germanic tribes may be long gone, but the fascination with their ancient stories remains unbroken and can be found throughout our culture. No surprise that even the youngest become curious and interested in the thunder god, elves, creation myths and more.
This book presents the most important, exciting and beautiful stories from Germanic mythology, introduces the basics of creation, the divine world, mythical peoples and great heroic deeds, and also offers a glimpse into real Viking life.
Too grim for children? While the legends do contain dark moments, this book is written especially for kids and tells the stories in an age-appropriate way – so the whole family can embark on an exciting journey into legendary realms."
"Colitis Ulcerosa – those affected know exactly what this term brings to mind: pain, diarrhea, discomfort, sometimes even fever, and much more. No wonder the diagnosis hits like a bomb at first and turns life upside down. And as unpleasant as this condition is, there is extremely encouraging news for those affected: there are good chances to enjoy long periods without restrictions, and there is a lot you can do for yourself – now, immediately, without much effort and without sacrificing quality of life."
"FIBROMYALGIA
WHAT HELPS WHEN EVERYTHING HURTS?
I don't know what's worse: the remarks claiming you are a malingerer or a hypochondriac, telling you to stop exaggerating; the constant disappointment with growing despair because you receive neither a diagnosis nor effective help; or the pain, exhaustion, and difficulty concentrating that turn everyday life into an obstacle course. Perhaps it is the combination of all of these, or the realization that it will never truly stop. Either way, you and I are here because we either suffer from fibromyalgia ourselves or watch a loved one suffer from this condition. Or maybe you are here simply because you are interested in the background of this subject – one way or another, you will find here what you are looking for."
"YOGA SUTRAS FOR BEGINNERS
In fact, most people associate the word yoga with the image of someone twisting and bending or standing upside down on their yoga mat. And although these images are not entirely untrue in a certain way, they are far removed from the actual meaning of yoga. These images are merely what is conveyed to us by the media nowadays. Magazines, films, and advertisements have contributed to creating an incomplete picture of what yoga really is. Mira Blumenberg allows you to look behind these facades and helps you align your everyday life with the original yoga teachings of Patanjali.
This is what awaits you:
Yoga Sutras - The Soul of Yoga
Who was Patanjali?
Yoga as an eightfold path
Patanjali's teachings in detail and in everyday language
Applying the Yoga Sutras in everyday life
and much more ..."

"Self-Treating and Shrinking Myomas
Your body is your most valuable asset, so I am pleased to welcome you to a topic that affects a large portion of the female population: myomas. First, some good news: in most cases, myomas do not cause lasting harm to the body. However, fascinating as they may be, they are a disruptive factor in daily life, potentially painful, and certainly worrying—or at the very least, annoying.
Given that we are all—men and women, young and old—already burdened with countless everyday struggles, we should not have to subject ourselves to the stress of possibly unnecessary surgeries, medications, or other avoidable treatments.
I am happy to share with you the knowledge I have gathered, which includes approaches to independently treat the female challenge called 'myoma.'
Not only will you receive understandable medical background information, but you will also gain the tools to recognize, identify, and alleviate symptoms and discomfort—without the fear of major interventions.
My greatest wish is that you discover how to gently and naturally bring your body back into balance, allowing you to regain the highest possible level of vitality and quality of life."
"'There is more between heaven and earth than natural science can explain.' – Do you deeply agree with this statement? Have you experienced telepathic moments, felt the connecting power of thoughts, and long to consciously and intentionally harness the boundless forces surrounding us? Then you are ready for the wonderful path of white magic, and this book shows you how to become a true witch!
The term 'witch' needs a makeover: away with brooms, potions, or satanic pacts, because a true witch is simply someone aware of the energies that connect everything and who has learned to use them in a healing way. So here is the best news to start with: you can do it too! Learn how to develop your own powers and connect with magical energies in this book. Gain deep awareness of your innermost processes, lay the foundation for magical work, and acquire essential practical knowledge. With easy-to-follow concrete exercises, you will soon have your first magical experiences and discover your personal magical path!"
"POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD for short, turns your entire life upside down. With the experience that triggered this mental disorder, you have gone to the limits of what is bearable and beyond. Whether you are affected yourself or a relative, you know exactly how fundamentally the rest of your life is shaped by the consequences of the traumatic event. But you are not powerless against it. Psychology now knows numerous methods that can help you reclaim your self-determination, and alongside professional therapy, your own initiative is at least as important. It essentially consists of two main elements: thought and awareness exercises provide you with concrete, easy-to-implement measures with which you can directly influence your perception and experience, and in addition, by acquiring comprehensive knowledge, you become an expert on your own illness – a decisive step on the path to self-empowerment."
"Hiding mistakes, concealing flaws, covering scars – keeping what is supposedly 'bad' hidden from others has unfortunately become a given in our modern society. But it can be different: Kintsugi teaches us to see the positive in breaks and injuries, and this book shows you how to easily make that your new attitude toward life!
Originally conceived as a craft to give broken porcelain a second life in renewed beauty, Kintsugi has long since become a philosophy as well. Just as carefully reassembled shards of a broken bowl form a breathtaking work of art with the help of gold particles, so too does a person become who they truly are through all their injuries and imperfections. The deep meaning of life through learning, awareness, and constant growth is perfectly captured by the Kintsugi philosophy, which you can apply very concretely in your own life. Discover the importance Kintsugi can have during difficult phases and major challenges, and explore how the Japanese mindset can bring you lasting satisfaction, gratitude, strength, and joy. Not particularly spiritual? No problem – the practical reflections, exercises, and thought-provoking ideas are suitable for everyday life and help even stressed city dwellers gradually reconnect with themselves and gain a completely new perspective on who they are."
"'Eventually, everyone gets what they deserve.'
This statement is familiar to all of us. However, life sometimes seems unfair. How can it be that the arrogant colleague, who treats everyone badly, still has success and climbs the career ladder? How can it be that the mother, who always gives cake to all the neighbors, loses her child? How can it be that I let my new partner treat me badly and take advantage of me again, even though I promised myself to stay strong after the last failed relationship? Some people attribute these life events to fate, reward, or punishment. However, Buddhism offers a different explanation: Karma.
There are connections like ''Do good, and good will come to you'' or ''Karma has no expiration date.'' That sounds tempting, doesn't it? It is. Because the concept of karma helps us to categorize the above examples, understand the course of life, and recognize justice. But what exactly is karma? What statements does Buddhism make? How does karma affect our lives?"
