Die 16 Übungen des bewussten Atmens, die in diesem Hörbuch vorgestellt werden, sind der Schlüssel zur Befreiung und zu einem erfüllten Leben. Aus ihnen heraus lässt sich eine neue Haltung der Achtsamkeit entwickeln. Lassen Sie sich von Robert Atzorn zu diesen Atemübungen anleiten und schöpfen Sie Kraft aus der ermutigenden Botschaft Thich Nhat Hanhs.

Sind wir in jedem Augenblick wach und gegenwärtig, dann leben wir unser Leben und verträumen und verschwenden es nicht. Wir sind offen für die Wunder der Wirklichkeit, die sich uns beim Abwasch oder Hausputz ebenso offenbaren können wie bei einem Waldspaziergang am frühen Morgen. Durch das Wunder der Achtsamkeit können wir erfahren, dass unser Leben etwas ungemein Kostbares ist. Die Yogalehrerin Angelika Atzorn und der Schauspieler Robert Atzorn, seit langem Anhänger von Thich Nhat Hanh, lesen dieses Standardwerk für alle, die ihr alltägliches Leben bewusster und achtsamer gestalten wollen.

Gewöhnlich hängen wir mit unseren Gedanken an Vergangenem oder wir sorgen uns um Zukünftiges - daraus ziehen wir Identität und Sicherheit. Thich Nhat Hanh zeigt, wie wir mehr und mehr Vertrauen entwickeln können in ein Leben, das in der Gegenwart wirklich verankert ist und von dem wir uns nicht fortwährend wegträumen. Wir können im Hier und Jetzt, in unserem ganz alltäglichen Leben von Augenblick zu Augenblick, Heimat und Sicherheit finden - dies ist die hoffnungsvolle Botschaft des vietnamesischen Zen-Meisters.
