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.

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.

Wir können - unabhängig von den jeweiligen äußeren Umständen - an jedem Ort und zu jeder Zeit ein Leben in Freiheit führen. Dies ist die ermutigende Botschaft des Zen-Meisters Thich Nhat Hanh. Ein Leben in Freiheit bedeutet ein Leben in Achtsamkeit. Achtsamkeit für unsere Gefühle und Gedanken, für unser Handeln und für unsere Umgebung ist die zentrale Voraussetzung für eine selbstbestimmte Freiheit. Eine Freiheit, die wiederum Grundlage für unser Glück ist.

A hajdanvolt Gautama Sziddharta hercegtől, Buddhától egyszer valaki megkérdezte: Ki vagy? Isten vagy? Nem. Angyal? Nem. Szent? Nem. Akkor ki vagy? - Ébren vagyok.

Józansága évezredeken világít át, és útján a mai napig milliók követik. Ő az alapállás (Hamvas) mestere. Az alapállás végtelenül egyszerű. Ez csak az első, kiinduló állapot, de "nincs ennél az egyszerűnél semmi nehezebb".
