Abseits der herkommlichen Touristenstrome, in der Mitte Chinas, liegt das Wudang-Gebirge. Hier hat eine besondere Form des Daoismus, der ureigenen chinesischen Religion, ihre Wurzeln. Die Sanfeng-Daoisten betreiben Kampfkunste und praktizieren ein spezielles Qigong. Ein Herzstuck dieses Qigongs ist die Methode Seiner Natur folgen - zuruckkehren zum Ursprung," die dem grossen Meister Huo Long (um 1200) zugeschrieben wird. Ziel der Ubung ist es, verbrauchtes, Krankheit verursachendes Qi aus dem Korper abzugeben und frisches, verjungendes Qi aufzunehmen. Yurgen Oster, ein Qigong Meister der ersten Stunde, schildert in diesem Buch sehr ausfuhrlich den Ablauf dieser Ubung; als Bewegung, als innerer korpermechanischer Vorgang und als energetischer Prozess. Zusatzlich erhalten die Leser ausfuhrliche Informationen zum Daoismus, den mystischen Wudangbergen, die Bedeutung von Qigong fur unsere Gesundheit und was sich hinter den Begriff Qi verbirgt. Allgemeine Hinweise zur Integration in den Alltag runden das Buch gelungen ab."

"The brain controls everything we do, and I believe it is the very essence of who we are." In 2015, at just 25 years old, Jessica Stevens sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Her car was completely written-off when she was involved in a severe road traffic accident just outside her house. Jessica was then airlifted to The Royal London Hospital. Her family were later told: "everything is broken", and that she would never recover. She remained in a coma for the next six weeks. This inspirational book chronicles Jessica's sheer grit, courage, and perseverance, resulting in her incredible rehabilitation and ongoing recovery. A well-paced, fast-flowing narrative that is at once harrowing but totally uplifting and awe-inspiring. It will show you the power of the human spirit when all hope is gone, and how much trauma the human body can survive.
