Burning your energy – until the oven is out. Our society often makes demands on people far beyond their capacities. Nearly no one is up to these demands, and those who become overburdened ultimately exhibit dangerous symptoms: a feeling of being burned out, a sense of despair, and physical illness. Anyone can fall into such a situation – regardless of how healthy one is. With a high level of practical and theoretical competence, the author informs us in a competent and comprehensive way about the symptoms and course of this condition and about the possibilities of medical and psychological treatments, while elucidating for us the clear principles with which we can protect ourselves.

Salutogenesis – the alternative approach to the treatment of illness
Theodor Dierk Petzold The Book of Salutogenesis [Praxisbuch Salutogenese] Why health is contagious SĂźdwest 208 pages ca. 40 illustrations Format 16.2 x 21.5 cm September 2010
Theodor Dierk Petzold is a doctor in general medicine and a practitioner of natural healing methods, and has a European Certificate of Psychotherapy (ECP). He teaches general medicine at a medical college as an assistant professor. In 2004, he founded a center for salutogenesis. He gives many lectures, trainings, and seminars, and provides supervision for salutogenetic orientation.
Western medicine concentrates entirely on the origin, development, and treatment of illnesses, or pathogenesis. The exact opposite approach is that of salutogenesis. This perspective investigates the origin and development of health in humans. Rather than search for illnesses and weaknesses, salutogenesis uncovers the physical and in particular psychological strengths of an individual. These strengths, the most essential of which is a sturdy life attitude in confronting the world, can be actively trained and supported. The concepts of salutogenesis appreciably not only influence medicine, psychology, and education. They are also usable in very concrete and practical ways by every person, and are especially appropriate for developing a burn-out prophylaxis. In an easily understandable style, this book describes how the new attitude and ways of thinking of salutogenesis support health, development, and creativity. This knowledge is conveyed here through numerous practical exercises to make it easily applicable in everyday life.

NAET is the new way to alleviate allergies and their often unpleasant side effects. This abbreviation stands for Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique, which combines methods from TCM, acupuncture, chiropractics, kinesiology, and standard medicine. The name of this therapy derives from the Indian physician Devi Nambudripad, who as a child suffered from massive allergies and intolerances and later searched for years for a method to alleviate these conditions. In the 1980s, Dr. Nambudripad created NAET, which has since had worldwide success. This book shows how, with help of this very successful method, to identify the causes of allergies and their related illnesses and how to gently eliminate them. Painless treatment, appropriate especially for infants and small children: NAET works without unpleasant blood and skin tests or medication.

Losing weight successfully – surprisingly simple and extremely effective Marion Grillparzer Losing Weight Simply with the Carb-100 Formula [Einfach abnehmen mit der Carb100-Formel] Out of the carbohydrate trap – light-hearted, well fed, and pleasurably Heyne Paperback 224 pages Colour illustrations Format 12.5 x 18.7 cm April 2010
Marion Grillparzer has a Ph.D. in ecotrophology (nutrition) and is a journalist. As a freelance author, she writes for various magazines on the subjects of nutrition and health. She has also written several cookbooks and nutrition self-help books, including such bestsellers as The Magical Cabbage Soup, The GLYX Diet, and The GLYX Diet Cookbook. www.mariongrillparzer.de
According to the latest findings, it is not fat that makes us overweight, but carbohydrates. To get rid of unnecessary pounds effectively and healthfully, we should eat more protein (fish, lean meat, and milk products), more vital foods (fruit and vegetables), and more essential fatty acids (nuts and olive oil). Carbohydrates are allowed in measured quantities, but they must be the right ones. This is how Marion Grillparzer’s GLYX Diet functions. The nutrition principle Carb Formula 100 is, in effect, a further development of the GLYX Diet. According to this, 100 grams of carbohydrates per day is enough to feel satisfied, vital, and happy while letting the pounds roll off. Marion Grillparzer shows how to simply, intelligently, and pleasurably escape the carbohydrate trap to become and remain slim. Included here is a carbohydrate guide arranged by nutrition groups and then alphabetically, showing what exactly is in each type of food by specified portion.

The 5-minute-a-day program for selfdiscovery
Dasa Szekely Emotional Inventory [Gefühlsinventur] The book about me Ariston 224 pages Format 12.5 x 20.0 cm August 2010 ▪ Online special available
Dasa Szekely, born in 1964, was trained as an advertising copywriter and strategist and certified in 2005 as a systematic advisor and coach. In 2007 she founded dasacoaching, Germany’s first coaching enterprise, and subsequently, associated with this, the School of Life, for learning about all the topics that play a central role in life: career, love, family, communication, future planning, and meaning. In day seminars or evening workshops, adults learn in a comfortable atmosphere how they can lead fulfilled lives.
Our emotional household looks sometimes like a fully stuffed attic: everything is in disorder, we don’t know who we are, and we don’t know what we actually feel or want. With her innovative concepts, life and business coach Dasa Szekely brings order to our chaos of emotions. By means of tests and small tasks, we can start having a dialogue with ourselves and learn to listen inside and to sense our inner self. It is sufficient sometimes to scrutinize and get to the bottom of the emotions that influence our everyday lives in order to achieve a better feeling for life – because it is the suppressed emotions that have created blockages and induce stress. By means of checklists and questionnaires, this book helps us clear out our emotional environments in order to deconstruct burdens and achieve more quality of life. To this end, Dasa Szekely offers a two-week program requiring a maximum of five minutes per day that helps us in a wonderfully entertaining way to get to know ourselves better.

Spontaneity can be learned! Ralf Schmitt / Torsten Voller I’m Completely Spontaneous – If You Give Me Enough Time [Ich bin total spontan – wenn man mir rechtzeitig Bescheid gibt] On the art of improvising Ariston 256 pages 34 b/w illustrations Format 13.5 x 20.6 cm October 2010
Ralf Schmitt, born in 1975, works as an actor, comedian, moderator, and warm-up act on television. He is a member of one of the best-known German improvisational theaters. Together with Torsten Voller he is a speaker on the topic of spontaneity, where they relate business know-how to improvisational theater.
There it is, the best answer! Fifteen minutes too late, however ... How glad we would be to have been so quick witted! The good news: being spontaneous is learnable. Torsten Voller and Ralf Schmitt are professionals in the field of spontaneity: they tour with their improv show, and in their coachings on the theme of Business Improv they loosen the ties of even the stiffest of managers. In their book, they show how to spice up everyday life with unexpected verbal twists, in which one simply says “yes” and makes decisions from the gut more often. With a surprising mix of unusual exercises, entertaining anecdotes, and the most varied examples of situations, they help dissolve inner blocks and stimulate the ability to think creatively and flexibly.
Torsten Voller, born in 1969, has a PhD in education and training as a banker. Today he is an improvisational actor, a trainer, and an advisor. Since 1997 he has been the business manager of one of the bestknown German improvisational theater groups. He regularly gives workshops and motivation seminars to corporations.

Becoming your own therapist using inner images
Birgit Zart Children of Happiness [Glückskinder] From the desire for a baby to the joy of life Successful work with inner images Ariston 176 pages Format 13.5 x 20.6 cm October 2010
Birgit Zart has been treating women desiring children for over ten years. She is a qualified alternative practitioner, homoeopathist and hypnosis therapist. She was taught the fertility massage method by the Indian gynecologist Dr. Gowri Motha. Along with her practice, Birgit Zart gives many seminars in Germany and Austria. In 2005, she organized the first “Desire for Children” Congress.
“Happiness does not come as a matter of course. It needs to be found, felt, and preserved,” explains Birgit Zart. With this book, she provides readers with her simple and yet highly effective help for confronting small and large difficulties competently, playfully, and quickly – be it the fulfillment of a special wish, the creation of a happy relationship, or professional or personal success. Her longseller Relaxed Through Maternal Desire has helped innumerable couples fulfill their desire for a child. Now, through the method of inner images, she offers support during all crises in life. Working with positive inner images provides stability, encouragement, and a smooth path towards personal joy. This concept, which Birgit Zart has used for decades to accompany her patients into their personal depths, has since become a standard method for every form of crisis management. Also available:

A revolutionary, spiritual approach to greater quality of life
Anouk Claes Must Is in the Past [Müssen war gestern] How modern life can become the greatest inner source of power Ansata 224 pages with CD Format 13.5 x 21.5 cm October 2010
Anouk Claes was born in Bruges and grew up in Belgium, after which she lived for a long period in China. Today she is a life teacher and therapist in her chosen home city of Basel, Switzerland. Through her collaboration with clinical psychiatrists, her work has become recognized in professional medical circles.
We get plenty of advice that is supposed to improve our lives – and this advice is almost always about improving ourselves. Not only that – it often concerns turning our everyday life upside down: always eliminating anything that is not harmonic, peaceful, healthy, or environmentally friendly! “That is all in the past,” according to life teacher Anouk Claes. “The new lightness makes all of that unnecessary.” There is nothing that is better or worse than anything else! Our world is complete in itself, and we are also complete in ourselves – only we have yet to become conscious of this. For this reason Anouk Claes does not attempt to soften everyday life, to sugarcoat personal misfortune, or to mask pain or illness. On the contrary: she devotes herself to precisely these themes in helpful and practical ways: • Why “negative” emotions such as jealousy, anger, and envy are not negative at all • When we think we need to “embrace” or even “love” such emotions, we are only overburdening ourselves – yet we can gain energy and clarity from them • Why in modern life there cannot be any “evil technologies” or “unhealthy energies” • From everything around us, we can, through lucid perception, download useful information – and, for example, even use mobile communication antennas as a source of energy

Ruediger Dahlke The Shadow Principle [Das Schatten-Prinzip] The reconciliation with our hidden sides Arkana 320 pages 2 b/w illustrations with CD Format 13.5 x 21.5 cm August 2010
Dr. med. Ruediger Dahlke, born in 1951, studied medicine and pursued extended training in natural healing and psychotherapy. In 1989 he and his wife founded a natural healing center in Germany. From 1978 to 2003 he worked as a psychotherapist. Since then he has been active as a medical advisor for fasting, a seminar leader, and a lecturer. Present focus: training in “archetypal medicine,” breath therapy and psychotherapy, fasting, and guided meditation; extended medical instruction, corporate trainings, and meditation and fasting seminars. www.dahlke.at
Why is it that we can’t stand some people and are filled with admiration for others? Why do some people love romance films, while others prefer the nerve-tingling suspense of thrillers? What motivates us to learn a particular sport, and what is it that we can truly laugh about? Everything that disturbs us or especially fascinates us about others demonstrates that we are carrying these things within ourselves, whether it be a dark, repressed side of ourselves or an unrealized desire. In order to be complete and whole, we must accept these shadow aspects and integrate them into ourselves. Otherwise we will repeatedly experience how they intrude into our lives in the form of illness, failure, or misadventure. The renowned author Ruediger Dahlke takes us on a journey into the shadow realm of the human soul. Profoundly, often uncomfortably, but unbelievably enlighteningly, he shows how we can attain the reconciliation of our shadow sides and thus experience the full realization of our potential. With numerous exercises, meditations, and rituals. Also available (Selection):

The way to emotional and spiritual growth
Peter Michael Dieckmann Bodybuilding for the Soul [Bodybuilding für die Seele] Training our spiritual and emotional abilities Arkana Paperback 320 pages Format 12.5 x 18.3 cm December 2010
Peter Michael Dieckmann, born in 1961, is a chief detective with the police and was for many years involved in search operations. As part of the core of a mobile deployment unit, what counted for him was not only hard facts but sometimes hard fists. Thus, it was all the more surprising when during a Reiki course he discovered his inner sensitivity. He now gives seminars and workshops as a Reiki teacher.
Muscles atrophy when they are not used. According to the Reiki master Peter Michael Dieckmann, this is also true in a holistic sense for the powers of our soul. In a rousing but also lightly humorous style, Dieckmann shows how we can respect, cultivate, and train our mental and spiritual powers and how gratitude, confidence, and love can develop from them. By way of examples from everyday life, the author demonstrates how to enhance spiritual energy. Through the author’s great personal authenticity, this powerful positive attitude is imparted directly to readers. Meditation texts and suggestions for various exercises enhance the practical applicability and relevance of these concepts. Also available:

Making the life energy flow
Kurt Fenkart You as Well Are a Shaman [Auch du bist ein Schamane] Visions. Soul powers. Healing. Ansata 304 pages 9 b/w illustrations with CD Format 13.5 x 21.5 cm October 2010
Kurt Fenkart works for wellknown corporations and institutions as a coach for management and employees. His preference for the healing techniques and rituals of natural peoples led him to traditional shamans in Peru, the USA, Canada, India, Ladahk, Nepal, and Bali. In 2005 he made his calling into a career, founding with his wife an academy for teaching shamanism in a form that can be practiced by Western people.
For confronting the hectic conditions and the stress of modern everyday life and to find the balance between tension and excitement, the age-old techniques of shamanism are highly effective. Those who want to alter their life and who want to be more in harmony with their inner being, with the divine powers, and with their deepest nature will find the necessary inspiration here. Kurt Fenkart’s book reads in part as a suspenseful travel report about the shamans of various places on earth and the world of transcendental visions and healing dreams. But it is also a practical introduction for beginners to become familiar with the worldview, the healing system, and the trance techniques of shamanism through personal experience. The included CD of drums, rattles, and various rituals leads listeners on a shamanic journey through the inner world.

Lars A. Fischinger has been dealing with the greatest riddles of humanity for over twenty years. He is the author of numerous successful nonfiction books, which have been translated into many languages.
Did you know that in Rumania, an artificial tunnel system exists that could be 65 million years old? That ancient Indian texts describe space ships and nuclear wars? Is it possible that in the jungles of the Congo dinosaurs still exist? What about the worldwide findings of what seem to be extraterrestrial bodies? And was Juri Gagarin really the first man in space? Following his bestseller Historia Mystica, Lars A. Fischinger here documents more utterly unbelievable phenomena, mysterious evidence, and puzzling discoveries. His worldwide research has led him to where the standard explanatory models of science no longer hold and the borders of our normal world-view break down. With courage for even very unconventional explanations, he opens readers’ eyes to the hidden chapters of human history that according to established science cannot possibly even exist – the forbidden history of our world.

Born in 1946, Dr. Varda Hasselmann majored in literature and in medieval studies in preparation for a university career, but a different calling beckoned. She chose to follow it and turned her talent as a medium into a profession. Since 1983 she has worked as a trance medium, hosting seminars and holding lectures. Born in 1944, Frank Schmolke went into teaching after majoring in German studies, English studies and in art history. Concurrently he researched matters of the spirit and trained in numerous medical and psychological fields. He is a non-medical practitioner specialising in homeopathy.
Each person has an archetypically predetermined soul-plan – an individual matrix. This book of the fundamentals describes the seven times seven ground energies of the matrix, energies that account for the absolute uniqueness, distinctiveness, inimitability, and life task of every person. Recognizing these furthers our understanding for our own potential and brings us nearer to consciousness and love – not only in relating to other people, but also to our own self. This psychological system has become not only an instrument for selfrealization but also one that is proven to be of great use in therapeutic practice. Also available:

He went on to found a consulting firm catering to an international clientele from industry and high technology, which he still successfully manages. In 1999, together with his wife, Linda, he founded the Crimson Circle, an association for the development of consciousness on the Earth, presently involving hundreds of local groups and receiving over 30,000 international website visits every month.
We are living in an exciting time of transition, one that presents us with great opportunities but also with great challenges. How will we be able to avoid falling into our old and trusted, yet often petrified and deadened ways of thinking and behaving? How can we overcome unconscious mental blocks, familial entanglements, and social limits? What are the new values, and what are the new paths and goals? The ascended light-master Adamus Saint-Germain is the greatest inspiration for humanity in these crucial times. Channeled by Geoffrey and Linda Hoppe, he shows spiritually engaged people the path to selfempowerment and mastery in life. Adamus Saint-Germain is very direct in his revelations. His messages are not soft and fuzzy; instead, they are challenges for each person to take responsibility and to create his or her own reality in a light-filled manner. This is the “Mastery of the New Energy” – living and acting within the new consciousness. A book for those interested in spirituality and seeking deep insights and practical help from higher dimensions.

Jes T.Y. Lim / Julie A. Lim The Tao of the New Time [Das Tao der neuen Zeit] Vital powers and harmony for humanity and the Earth Lotos 288 pages 30 b/w illustrations , 1 colour illustration Format 13.5 x 21.5 cm October 2010
Dr. Jes T. Y. Lim, born in China and raised in Borneo, lives today in Australia and Europe: truly a cosmopolitan being. He works as a medial healing, feng-shui expert, and successful author. Julie A. Lim comes from a family of Chinese Mandarins which upholds traditional forms of healing, Chinese poetry and the art of calligraphy. She and her husband Jes T.Y. Lim pass on this knowledge in seminars in all parts of the world.
Humans being rooted in their “inner middle” and leading lives in harmony with their environment make up the cornerstone of the Taoist philosophy. Today, since the energies of the modern everyday life subject us to enormous stress, the Taoist life practices can be a valuable aid in transforming negative energies into positive forces. For Dr. Jes T. Y. Lim and Julie A. Lim, health applies not just to humanity alone, but also to those environments that our lives exist in a close interdependency with. In this practical handbook, they present for the first time the whole spectrum of their immense wisdom to Western readers: • How vital energy can be strengthened – for a harmonic, healthy life • How happiness can be attracted by the equilibrium of yin and yang • Taoist prosperity consciousness – and how inner and outer riches mutually increase each other • Numerous practical tips and advice on nutrition, meditation, and good feng shui, as well as protection from illness and lack of energy

Develop your potential for a fulfilled life
Peter Malinowski Flourishing – Which Type of Joy Would You Like? [Flourishing – Welches Glück hätten Sie gern?] Cultivating positive personal traits and mastering difficulties Irisiana 224 pages Format 13.5 x 21.5 cm November 2010
Peter Malinowski, with a PhD in psychology, has worked as a lecturer in psychology and neuroscience at the John Moores University in Liverpool, England, since 2002. As a practicing Buddhist, he has for some 15 years taught Buddhist themes and the meditation practices of the Karma Kagyü School of the Diamond Path. His primary goal is to impart meditation practices from a psychologicalscientific perspective and removed from any religious aspects.
The new trend in the pursuit of happiness is called “Flourishing.” At its core is the development of human potential and of what makes a fulfilled life. Flourishing means that there is a balance between good and bad emotions. The idea is to cultivate positive qualities such as joy and contentment in order to remain psychologically fit. There are various ways for bringing oneself to a flourishing state, one example being through meditation. The internationally renowned psychologist and meditation teacher Peter Malinowski shows in this book just what is behind Flourishing and how you can use it for your and others’ benefit. He makes connections between the traditional wisdom of Buddhism and the latest findings of psychology and neuroscience, and his easily understood explanations are illuminated by practical exercises and stories.

An amazing model linking fairytales and myths with science to explain the world
Pia Mayer-Gampe The Golden Egg [Das goldene Ei] The matrix of reality in fairytales Riemann 352 pages With numerous 4-c illustrations Format 17.0 x 24.0 cm October 2010
Pia Mayer-Gampe, the daughter of the deceased writer Carl Amery, was born in 1955. She has a PhD in forestry and freelanced as a writer. She spent some time in Bhutan, where she intensively studied the Tibetan form of Buddhism and was involved in matters concerning development aid.
As a rainbow opens up its colours according to the very nature of light, so the human mind develops its structure in the game of imagination according to its own hidden rules. Since the beginning of time, fairytales and myths have been telling us of this “fantastic matrix” on which forms the basis of our reality. Do these old stories still have a message for us today? Is it possible to discover a structure in them that allows us to understand how mind and cosmos work? Pia Mayer-Gampe takes us on a journey through the magic world of fairytales and myths – a world she has put in relationship to the logics of the sciences and the laws governing the modern global world of business. She shows us what lies behind the frontiers of thought and emotions and finally leads us back – to ourselves. The author has succeeded in creating nothing less than a chart of the DNA of archetypical powers which apparently effortlessly overcome the duality of mind and material and in which Mother Hulda and Luke Skywalker are just as entitled to be as Charles Darwin and John Maynard. A magnificent book that unites perspicacity and analysis with poetry and allows us to see the world in a new light.

Becoming the director of your own life
Hermann Meyer The Script of Your Life [Das Drehbuch des eigenen Lebens] Recognizing and transforming life patterns Arkana Paperback 300 pages Format 13.5 x 20.6 cm December 2010
Hermann Meyer is a partnership and fate researcher. After his studies in psychology and natural healing, he dedicated himself to psychosomatic research and was long a member of the board of the psychosomatic research center IPSE. Today he heads an institute for psychological astrology, gives personal and group consulting, offers instruction, and regularly holds weekend seminars on the subjects of relationship and selfdevelopment.
The course of our lives follows an unconscious script. Parental influences and the “family scenery” are a part of this. We ourselves are the main actors, while our unconscious is the director, determining whether we see ourselves as unlucky or lucky, or respected and loved, and whether our life is a comedy or tragedy. Bestselling author Hermann Meyer helps us become aware of this personal script. Only when we are aware can we free ourselves from those old scenes and dialogues, readjust the focus, develop a positive psychosomatic being, and with more joy in life form new arrangements and constellations, ones that were not possible in the family of our childhood.

A journey to the wellsprings of our inner power
Christian Reiland Let Go and Find the Joy Inside [Lass los und finde das Glück in dir] Arkana 320 pages 20 b/w illustrations with CD Format 12.5 x 20.0 cm July 2010
Christian Reiland, born in 1961, is a natural healer in psychotherapy and a specialist in the area of energetic psychology. Following extended training in NLP and psychokinesiology, in 2002 he came to know and value energetic psychology and, especially, the Emotional Freedom Technique. He is the editor of a quarterly newsletter on the subject of energetic psychology and the co-founder of the EFT Trainers Network in Germany.
“True joy lies within”. We are familiar with this folk wisdom, yet we often do not know how to reach this wellspring of happiness inside ourselves. For Christian Reiland, this lies deep in our inner being and possesses a tremendous power. But the way inside is often obstructed by negative emotions, limiting belief structures, and fears and anxieties. Christian Reiland shows that the first steps towards joy involve dismantling these blocks. With his practice-proven program, in which he combines the proven EFT techniques with the law of attraction, we learn step by step to let go of all that is hindering us from attaining our personal power. And so we will ultimately experience our archetypal potential, which not only increases our feelings of joy, but also offers the opportunity for personal and spiritual growth. Also available:

The 12 archetypical forms of depression and ways to heal them
Claus Riemann Twelve Faces of Depression, Twelve Paths of Healing [12 Gesichter der Depression, 12 Wege der Heilung] Arkana 192 pages Format 12.5 x 18.3 cm August 2010
Claus Riemann, born in 1951, was strongly influenced by his father, the psychologist Fritz Riemann. Claus Riemann studied psychology, turned to family therapy, and practiced with “pro Familia� and in women’s refuges. Since 1976 he has taught astrology. He took part in the International Depth Psychology conferences in Lindau for many years as a guest lecturer, and gave papers on the link between the signs of the zodiac, myths and fairytales.
Claus Riemann, psychotherapist and astrologist, understands depression quite literally as life energy that is being pressed down. Essential parts of a personality remain buried because of blocks, repression, and falsely understood self-discipline. The powers that strive towards development are quite diverse, depending on which zodiac sign one is born under. While depressive Sagittarius can lack meaning in life, a Scorpio suffers by offending other people with his or her penetrating intensity. Through developmental psychology, fairytale interpretation, traditional wisdom, and spirituality, Claus Riemann discovers and discloses the true causes of despondency and depression while describing the individual healing paths for the various zodiac signs.

A sound journey to inner wisdom Anna Elisabeth Röcker Tone as a Way to Attentiveness [Klang als Weg zur Achtsamkeit] Exercises for developing one’s potential through music Südwest 128 pages with CD Format 17.2 x 23.5 cm October 2010
Anna Elisabeth Röcker is a natural healer, music therapist, and yoga teacher. She completed a 3-year training in Guided Imagery and Music in the U.S. and Germany, and furthered her education in analytical psychology at the C.G. Jung Institute. For the past ten years she has been training yoga teachers and giving seminars at home and abroad. She has a music therapy practice in Munich and is the author of successful health and life-help books. www.annaroecker.de
The Buddhist principle of attentiveness has long been current in the West, for the attentive lifestyle is a beneficial enrichment for body, mind, and spirit alike. Those who are attentive are able to focus on the present moment and have expanded perceptual abilities. Attentiveness strengthens the self-healing powers, allows for an improved judgment ability, activates creative resources, facilitates access to the inner voice, and leads to more composure when confronting the challenges of everyday life. With this practical advice book, the popular music therapist and yoga teacher Anna Elisabeth Röcker clearly shows how anyone, through the appropriate exercises, can learn attentiveness and integrate this into everyday life, and thus develop his or her personal potential. The step-bystep instructions are accompanied by music pieces on the included 60-minute CD, which range from simple tones and chords to classical and world music. Under the gentle direction of the author, they make possible through a variety of ways a journey to inner wisdom. Also available:

Revealing knowledge of the origin of the soul
Ruediger Schache The God Secret [Das Gottgeheimnis ] The journey of your soul through creation Arkana 272 pages Format 13.5 x 17.5 cm December 2010
Ruediger Schache is a coach, consciousness researcher, and book author. After many years of activity in marketing and advertising, he became an independent journalist and book author. During numerous travels through Asia, Mexico, and Brazil, he experienced a series of trainings and initiations. Today he imparts his knowledge of inner and outer interrelationships in seminars, lectures, and counseling sessions. Ruediger Schache’s bestseller The Secret Behind the Heart Magnet (2008) has been translated into 20 languages. www.ruedigerschache.com/
In his bestseller The Secret Plan of Your Life, Ruediger Schache revealed how we can recognize the plan for our soul. His new book goes a step further: he poses the question concerning the origin of the soul, and through this comes to focus on the ageless but always contemporary theme of What is God? With great vividness, Ruediger Schache sketches out the design of creation, from the ocean of pure consciousness – God – to the various levels of manifestations and on to the material world. He shows how the human soul developed out of the primeval divine and passed through the five levels of creation. When we can recognize and know what experiences the soul has had, we will receive answers to many central questions: What actually is God? What is behind the much sworn-by concept love? What happens when we die? Why is there suffering? Will I see my loved ones again after death? Does prayer help? Encountering the challenges of the here and now with a deep composure achieved through knowledge of the origin of the soul. Also available:

The world of Yoga from a male perspective – self-ironic and humorous
Rainer Dresen At the Very First Aum, Everything Will Be Different [Beim ersten Om wird alles anders] The art of learning Yoga and remaining a man SĂźdwest 192 pages 35 b/w illustrations by Christian Moser Format 12.5 x 18.7 cm October 2010
Rainer Dresen is a lawyer, corporate attorney in publishing, technical author, and lecturer on many topics concerning book publishing. As a columnist for a specialized magazine, he writes about interesting and curious aspects of the publishing industry. Most of his free time is spent in the hand- and head-stand postures.
For years, the author had smiled down at yoga and the women who practiced it. But when he met more and more people who in discernable ways were at peace with themselves and who gave as the reason their regular practice of yoga, he became curious and began a self-experiment. Ever since that time, he feels that something is missing when he cannot practice yoga at least once a week. With self-irony and a great sense of humor, the author describes his career as a yogi, beginning with the purchase of a pink yoga mat and his attending a yoga seminar where there was kirtan singing, all the way to ultimately meeting personally with the guru himself.
