Önd: Breathing Exercises for Health, Vitality and Creativity
Breath is vital for existence. Why, then, do so many people take it for granted? In this book, you'll find twelve breathing practices for twelve months of transformative breathwork. Breathin Heathen brings his rich imagination and love of Old Norse poetry to this instructional breathing guide. Each chapter has room for drawing and writing about your experiences. You will learn how to fill your lungs with breath to a capacity you never knew you had. You will learn how to balance your breathing, and cleanse your breathing channels. You will learn breaths that bring warmth in the cold, and coolness in uncomfortable heat. After practicing these breaths for a while, you will feel how breathing is a muscle movement, and as with all muscle movements, exercise will bring greater strength, flexibility, and stability. With commitment to the lessons in this book, ÖND: Breathing Exercises for Health, Vitality, and Creativity will invite grounding, confidence, creativity and wellbeing into your life.
When seventeen-year-old Sven accidentally burns his mother’s house down, he thinks his only choice is to leave town. In pursuit of him are his mother, Erin, and his aunt, Rina. Sven travels to the West Coast and develops a special ability: every time he blinks, he knows the first and last names of the people he meets, and the stories that motivate them. He funds his expedition with money stolen from a dangerous man named Craig. When Craig notices his money’s missing, he gets his guns ready and stalks the teenager through the great chasm of the Okanagan Valley, past an urban mead house, to an island off the Coast of British Columbia, and up a mystical mountain on Vancouver Island. Northern European mythos blends with the reality of Sven's coming-of-age adventure in this quirky tragic comedy.
