Years back, a blood transfusion with a member of the undead left Christopher Csejthe a half-vampire. Then someone cut the gas line of his SUV and then ran over him with a semitruck while he tried to get a tow. But this is the third time Chris has died. It's old hat at this point for him. Now, awakened in a world he doesn't quite recognize, he'll have to use his wits to once again keep the supernatural world at bay. Interpol is interested in some of his associations with Vlad Drakul's grandson - better known as Dracula - and a trio of witches from Greek myth want him dead - for good.

Achtsam sein bedeutet, eine offene, im Hier-und-Jetzt verankerte und nicht wertende Form der Aufmerksamkeit einzunehmen. Achtsamkeitsübungen können dabei helfen, die direkte und lebendige Wahrnehmung des eigenen Körpers zu fördern. Sie können insbesondere bei Stress, Depression, Ängsten und häufigem Grübeln hilfreich sein. Mithilfe der Übungen können ungünstige und immer wiederkehrende, grüblerische Gedanken und Gefühle wahrgenommen und allmählich losgelassen werden. Achtsamkeitsübungen ermöglichen, den Kontakt zur lebendigen Gegenwart aufzunehmen.

Dauerhaft tiefe innere Ruhe und Gelassenheit finden. Woran liegt es nur, dass uns äußerliche Irritationen so schnell und nachhaltig aus der Balance bringen? Verantwortlich für solche Stimmungswechsel ist unser Gehirn: Je nachdem, ob es eine Situation als angenehm, unangenehm oder neutral einschätzt, aktiviert es entsprechende Gefühle. Sie färben unsere Erfahrungen ein, prägen unsere tiefsten Konditionierungen und steuern, wie wir uns und die Welt erleben.

There are moments in life that decide your fate. They ripple into the future and dictate how you experience the world in the moments that follow; either positive and uplifting, dark and chaotic, or flat and dull. What if you could recognise these moments before they seized control of your life? What if you could use them to set sail for a better future? What if all moments, big and small, could be harnessed this way? In Deeper Mindfulness, Oxford Professor Mark Williams and Dr Danny Penman reunite to present a new eight-week guided meditation programme that takes mindfulness to the next level.

Mais do que uma técnica de meditação, a atenção plena (ou mindfulness) é um estilo de vida que consiste em estar aberto à experiência presente, observando seus pensamentos sem julgamentos, críticas ou elucubrações. Ao tomar consciência daquilo que sente, você se torna capaz de identificar sentimentos nocivos antes que eles ganhem força e desencadeiem um fluxo de emoções negativas - que é o que faz você se sentir estressado, irritado e frustrado.

Das Anti-Stress-Programm der University of Oxford. Es sind nur zwanzig Minuten täglich, aber sie können das Leben verändern. In unserer von Zeitdruck, Hektik und permanenter Erreichbarkeit geprägten Zeit brauchen wir dringend Wege, effektiv zu entspannen und wieder zu uns selbst zu finden. Das Zauberwort heißt "Achtsamkeit": kurz anhalten, ruhig atmen und von sich selbst Abstand nehmen. Achtsamkeit ist jedoch nicht nur eine Idee, es ist eine Art zu leben. Schritt für Schritt zeigen Mark Williams und Danny Penman, wie das im Alltag auch tatsächlich geht.
