Celebrating, honoring, and using the chakras frees us to express our authenticity and live a life of power, love, joy, creativity, connection and purpose. In today’s yoga culture, the chakras are for much more than healing, which has been the traditional application of this 4000-year-old wisdom. While the idea and attributes of the chakras have become trendy, sexy, cool, and very spiritual, few people today really know how to activate the chakras’ powerful energy for deep transformation. Cristi aims to change that, and her book offers readers a multi-dimensional, practical and inspiring, structured seven-week step-by-step program.
A return trip to the South Pole is an impossible dream for many of us – but the medic Carmen Possnig did just that. On behalf of the European Space Agency, she spent a year in the heart of the Antarctica to find out what it’s like to live in extreme weather conditions, with a distinct lower level of oxygen and in complete isolation from the rest of the world. With twelve other scientists, she spent the winter at the Concordia research station in the eternal ice. There, she not only encountered the breathtaking beauty of the most extreme continent on Earth, but also her own limits: Sharing a tight space with other people for twelve months, in a world that remains dark for months on end and where the temperature drops to -80°C, requires a huge physical and mental effort. Carmen Possnig’s personal and witty travel report, and its wealth of photographs, opens up a window onto an alien world – making us marvel at our planet’s diversity, and at how adaptable human nature can be.
During the final months of the Weimar Republic, a highly regarded doctor disappears. His sports car is found abandoned on the shores of a lake near Berlin.

Enriched with fictional touches, Dr Mühe’s Disappearance is the gripping and ingenious story of the search for truth, and of the dark side of middle-class life on the eve of dictatorship.
