3 Modern incense burning rituals for slowing down

3 60 herbs, woods and resins

Experiencing the seasons mindfully and aware connects us to the power of natural rhythms. Burning incense during the winter solstice, at the start of spring during Groundhog Day or at the height of summer during St. John‘s gives us energy and centres us in ourselves, because we disconnect from the hectic pace and speed of day-to-day activities. Many tips for rituals you design yourself help to do so. Whether in nature, in your own garden or house, in a small apartment or in shared student quarters right in the big city: Incense rituals are possible anywhere. With extensive portraits of 60 effective herbs, woods and resins.

3 100 years theory of relativity

3 Einstein‘s legacy: the current search for a world formula

It was tested thousands of times and confirmed ever more precisely: Einstein‘s revolutionary theory of relativity is considered a foundation of today‘s physics. But despite its history of success, the theory of curved space-time is being questioned more and more. Because current insight into the Big Bang, black holes and cosmic dynamics, as well as the search for the world formula show: There must be a reality beyond Ein-stein‘s universe. Do space and time consist of elemental buil-ding blocks? Is gravity only an illusion? Einstein‘s work of the century is under investigation – what will follow after?

3 Unique communication method in the lungeing circle

Lungeing with a dog is becoming more popular. The well-known dog trainer Sami El Ayachi has developed his own method of communication via body language with the dog in the lungeing circle. He shows how you move your body consciously and how you can use the body language so honed for communication with the dog. In the process the dog learns to better understand his human and to pay attention to him. Body-language lungeing consolidates the relationship between dog and human, and wonderfully occupies the dog. The add-on to the book: more information and films can be downloaded easily and quickly via QR codes in the book or online.

3 Recognize, understand and correct-ly react to aggressive behaviour.

Rabble-rousing on the leash, scuffling, defending the sofa and snarling at the garden fence. A dog‘s aggression has many faces, the causes are manifold, and it is one of the dog problems mentioned most fre-quently. But it forms part of normal behaviour in any dog and cannot be trained away entirely. The authors explain the background: How does aggres-sion arise, how can you avoid it and how can you handle it correctly as a dog owner? A contempo-rary topic that affects almost any dog owner.

3 For harmony in the multi-cat household

3 Valuable tips from the cat expert

Many cat owners mean well for their house cat by adding one or even several cat friends. But instead of boisterous cat games and cuddly times for two, the sparks fly. The potential friends become enemies, there are quarrels, mobbing and duelling by leaving their marks. Birga Dexel illustrates with many sample cases why cats react this way and explains what you need to watch out for during selec-tion and socialisation, how you prevent behavioural problems and how peaceful coexistence in a multi-cat household is achieved.
