The effective yet gentle 'Sukshma' technique, for working with the Marma points at the emotional as well as on the physical level, is fully described in this book. Marma Therapy - the art of treating specific vital points on the human body - is one of the greatest healing secrets of Ayurveda. It can be used to detoxify, strengthen and revitalize the body, for rejuvenation and relaxation or to release blocked energy. The authors explain the theoretical basis of Marma Therapy, and then provide a detailed, fully illustrated guide to its use. For each Marma point, the authors provide information about its significance, the Ayurvedic element it relates to, the most appropriate oils to use, and what it can be used to treat. Clear step-by-step instructions and photographs illustrate the techniques, and advice is also included for self-treatment. The authors explain how to strengthen the Marmas through yoga and use mudras to support and complement Marma treatment. Finally, they describe how to treat common physical and emotional conditions, from headache and back pain, to exam nerves and insomnia.

Fascinating illustrations contribute to this illuminating and award-winning account of how and why philosophy emerged and make it a must-read for any inquisitive thinker unsatisfied with prevailing assumptions on this timely and highly relevant subject. By taking the reader back to the Greek colonies of Southern Italy more than 500 years B.C., the author, with unparalleled insight, tells the story of the Pythagorean quest for otherwordly konwledge -- a tale of cultism, political conspiracies, and bloody uprisings that eventually culminate in tragic failure. The emerging hero is Parmenides, who introduces for the first time a technique for testing the truth of a statement that was not based on physical evidence or mortal sense-perception, but instead relied exclusively on the faculty we humans share with the gods: the ability to reason.
Plato's Parmenides presents the modern reader with a puzzle. Noted for being the most difficult of Platonic dialogues, it is also one of the most influential. This new edition of the work includes the Greek text on facing pages, with an English translation by Arnold Hermann in collaboration with Sylvana Chrysakopoulou. The Introduction provides an overview and commentary aimed at scholars and first time readers alike.
This book is the scholarly & fully annotated edition of the award-winning The Illustrated To Think Like God. To Think Like God focuses on the emergence of philosophy as a speculative science, tracing its origins to the Greek colonies of Southern Italy, from the late 6th century to mid-5th century B.C. Special attention is paid to the sage Pythagoras and his movement, the poet Xenophanes of Colophon, and the lawmaker Parmenides of Elea. In their own ways, each thinker held that true insight, whether as wisdom or certainty, belonged not to mortal human beings but to the gods.The Pythagoreans sought to approach this otherwordly knowledge by studying numerical relationships, believing them to go...
Jutta Köhler, studierte Chemikerin und Biochemikerin, schreibt seit 1976 in ihrer Freizeit Gedichte und Kurzgeschichten und malt Aquarelle und Ölbilder. In ihrem Buch "Das Feuer der Sonne - Aspekte zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit" stehen ihren Bildern korrespondierende Gedichte oder Kurzgeschichten gegenüber. Ihre Texte handeln von Ansichten und Weisheiten, zusammengetragen aus Mythen und Sagen alter Völker über Sonne, Mond und Sterne, Feuer, Wasser, Luft und Erde. Sie schildert die gegenwärtigen Vorstellungen, Aspekte und Zusammenhänge zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft aus ihrer Sicht, angefangen vom Kreislauf der Sterne im Universum bis zum Werden, Wandel und Vergehen aller Lebewesen....
In der Arbeit wird eine Methodik zur effizienten Applikation automatisierter Fahrfunktionen vorgestellt. Die Methodik basiert auf einer Einschränkung des relevanten Parameterraums zur Optimierung des Funktionsverhaltens. Außerdem wird ein sensitivitätsbasiertes Optimierungsverfahren vorgestellt, welches optimale Lösungen mit hohem Reifegrad bereitstellt. Zur Erzielung kurzer Rechenzeiten wird ein hybrides Fahrzeugmodell vorgestellt, welches aus einem Einspurmodell und neuronalen Netz besteht. - The work introduces a method for an efficient calibration of automated driving functions. The method is based on an initial limitation of the relevant parameter space for the optimization of function behaviour. Furthermore, a sensitivity based optimization is presented, which provides optimal solution with a high maturity level. Finally, a hybrid vehicle model (based on a single track model and a neuronal network) is described, which enables a high accuracy and short simulation times.
