We consequently suffer from a lack of peace, unhappiness and a number of destructive emotions that can lead to psychosomatic disease. This gentle guide shows you easy, enjoyable and highly effective ways to slow down and develop a greater awareness of your thoughts actions and the environment. Exercises include step-by-step breathing and sound meditations - as well as illustrated walking meditations and movement sequences inspired by chi gong, tai chi and yoga - to bring the mind and body into the moment.
