Fashion bitch turned wellness witch, Cardsy B, shares her irresistibly witty and raw account of seemingly having, then losing, it all to redirect inward to find healing and purpose in unlocking her intuition.Before becoming Cardsy B, Rebecca Szymczak was a rebellious outcast from rural Pennsylvania, determined to live the quintessential Manhattan life, landing high-level fashion jobs, celebrity friends, and even her own lingerie line along the way. But by age thirty-one, an astrological transit-known as Saturn's Return-gate-crashed her life, stripping away her self-identity and exposing a battle with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, just beneath the glossy surface.As she began to rebuild her life, Cardsy revisited her childhood hobby of pulling tarot cards. In doing so, she reconnected with her intuition in powerful and often unexpected ways.The Saturn Diaries is the compelling record of that journey, involving everything, from a homemade Oprah-ator phone created to dial the universe to a solo trek through the Costa Rican Jungle to participate in an Ayahuasca ceremony.Part memoir and part spellbook, each chapter features a spell, elixir, or ritual. The Saturn Diaries - intensely moving and often hilarious - chronicles discovery and remembrance. It reveals the magic that occurs when you acknowledge the seeker within and begin listening to your own inner guidance system.

Disruptive practices to revolutionize your relationship with meditation and fully engage with the full breadth of your experience.Why do we meditate? The main reason most modern people start meditating is because it helps us feel better-reducing anxiety, improving sleep, decluttering the mind, and so forth. "But where does your meditation go when things go bad?" asks Andrew Holecek. "Where is your spirituality when 'rock meets bone,' as they say in Tibet-when the crap hits the fan?"Reverse Meditation is for anyone who wants to bring the challenges of life onto the path of awakening. When things get hard, it's time to turn your practice on its head-and throw out any assumption that meditation exists to insulate you from the confusion, difficulties, and uncertainty of life. "By putting your meditation into reverse," Holecek teaches, "you'll actually find yourself going forward. Step into your pain and you can step up your evolution."With his signature blend of depth and accessibility, Holecek invites you to explore: . Three core forms of meditation-mindfulness, open awareness, and the boundary-smashing reverse meditations . How to know when you're ready to engage with reverse meditation. On-the-spot practices for snapping into a meditative mindset in difficult situations . Contraction and expansion-how to dismantle habits of avoidance to become more open, resilient, and fully alive. How reverse meditation opens you to a direct experience of the fundamental perfection of reality-just as it is"These unique meditations are designed to reverse our relationship to unwanted experiences, which means going directly into them instead of avoiding them," says Andrew Holecek. "It's not an easy journey-yet this path leads to the discovery of unconditional happiness, basic goodness, and true freedom in the most turbulent situations."
"A warm-hearted guide to Buddhist practice for those ready to contend with the reality that enlightenment-the realization of non-self-can't be achieved by the self. A well-known spiritual saying goes, "Enlightenment is an accident. But we can make ourselves more accident-prone." As an authentic American Zen takes shape, enlightenment continues to be misunderstood as a project to be completed, a goal to be achieved, or a prize to be awarded. Tim Burkett's new book unhooks enlightenment from the hot air balloon of ego and brings it back down to earth. Drawing on stories of his first teacher, the Zen master Shunryu Suzuki (author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind), and Burkett's decades of practice and teaching, he reveals how to live in the world with a deep joy that comes from embracing the work and play of this very moment. With the wisdom and humor of a seasoned practitioner familiar with all manner of eccentric fixations and silly dead-ends, he offers views and practices we can use to support the paradoxical process of letting enlightenment happen on its own"--

Athlete's Heart: A Multimodal Approach - From Physiological to Pathological Cardiac Adaptations provides a complete overview of all adaptations of the heart to sport practice by highlighting the different diagnosis between athlete's heart and pathological remodeling. Written by international experts in the field, chapters discuss ECG findings, echocardiogram data, cardiac magnetic resonance and new forms of multimodality imaging, providing readers with evidence-based guidance on how to differentiate athlete's heart from cardiomyopathies. Athlete's heart is the term given to a constellation of cardiac structural, functional and electrical remodeling that accompanies regular athletic training. Due to the substantial phenotypic overlap between electrical and structural changes observed in the physiological athletic heart remodeling and pathological changes resulted from inherited or acquired cardiomyopathies, distinguishing between adaptive and maladaptive cardiovascular response to exercise is a challenging task.
Die Einführung gibt einen Überblick über Inhalte und Methoden, holt den Leser mit seinen Vorverständnissen über Philosophie und Sport ab und eröffnet den Horizont für Themen, Fragen, Problemstellungen und Lösungsansätze einer Sportphilosophie.Der zweite Teil des Buches beschäftigt sich mit der Phänomenologie als einer der grundlegenden Strömungen der Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er zeichnet Anliegen und Entwicklung der Phänomenologie anhand einiger ihrer Hauptvertreter nach und arbeitet mit ¿Phänomenologien der Leiblichkeit¿ ein zeitgemäßes Verständnis von Körper respektive Leib heraus.Im dritten Teil geht es um eine ¿Phänomenologie des heutigen Sports¿. Sport ist längst eine feste gesellschaftliche Größe und ein florierender wirtschaftlicher Bereich geworden. Das Buch analysiert die Verbindung des Sports zu Geld, Macht, Politik, Medien, Doping und die Rolle, die er hinsichtlich Körperkult, Spiel, Gesundheit, Bildung usw. spielt. Der Autor geht den Fragen nach, wie sich die Phänomene genauer darstellen, was sie ¿eigentlich¿ zum Vorschein bringen, und ob der Sport tatsächlich einem Umgang mit dem Körper respektive dem Leib entspricht, wie er im philosophischen Verständnis der Leiblichkeit dargelegt wurde.
