Sinossi

"Extreme Endurance" explores the science behind human limits, contrasting real-world athletic feats with the often-exaggerated portrayals of survival in manga. The book delves into the physiological adaptations enabling extreme endurance and the psychological factors driving individuals beyond perceived limitations. Intriguingly, the cardiovascular system's role in oxygen delivery is vital, alongside metabolic processes and thermoregulation in maintaining body temperature under stress. By critically comparing manga depictions with scientific findings, the book aims to demystify endurance. The book presents information accessibly, building from fundamental principles and examining scenarios from ultra-marathon runners and free divers to survival in harsh environments. It analyzes the science involved, drawing from peer-reviewed articles and expert interviews, while also acknowledging manga's cultural impact. "Extreme Endurance" is structured in three parts: introducing key physiological concepts, examining specific examples, and synthesizing findings to discuss future research and ethical considerations. This unique approach provides a deeper appreciation for the body’s inherent capabilities and the representation of human potential in popular media. Readers gain insights into sports medicine, psychology, and cultural studies, enhancing a holistic understanding of endurance. It connects to sports medicine by examining injury prevention and psychology by exploring mental strategies used by athletes.

    Who is this hypnosis for:If you have been diagnosed with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome and:- medication has not worked for you or- you want to avoid medication and find a more natural way to deal with the IBS symptoms... this hypnosis will be useful.It will help you soothe your symptoms (stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation) and, if used regularly, it will support your healing.How it works:As you probably know, there is no physical cause for the IBS symptoms, our intestines simply stop functioning harmoniously. Medication is hardly helpful, as it will usually address the effects of this disturbance but not its cause.Because of this, the diagnosis is never pleasant. Living with the ailment can be quite a challenge (disturbing our work, relationships, free time). Yet, here is a piece of good news:While all our body parts are responsive to hypnosis, our digestive tract is much more so. It has been discovered that there is a deep connection between our brain and our digestive tract. The latter even contains about 100 million nerve cells and some call it our "abdominal brain".This means that it is entirely possible for our intestines, when given the right suggestions under trance, to calm down. With its intelligence and sensitivity, our digestive tract picks up the positive message and slowly shifts back into normal functioning, while the unpleasant symptoms ameliorate or disappear completely.This 29 min hypnosis is designed for this.My recommendation: try if for 3 days (once a day, at a time convenient for you). If you feel it is working for you, continue with it on a daily basis – this way, you will consolidate the results and support your healing.Disclaimer:The products sold here do not replace medical or psychological therapy. Please take your time when listening to the audio downloads and stop doing anything else that might distract you, e.g., don't use them while working or driving a car.ENJOY!Yours Dr. Nidal MoughrabiMedical doctor · Coach for mental self-regulation · HypnotherapistInner stability for stress, anxiety and personal crises

    Rising to accept a prestigious award, Jody Lulich wondered what to say. Describe how caring for helpless, voiceless animals in his own shame and pain provided a lifeline, a chance to heal himself as well? Lulich tells his story in In the Company of Grace, a memoir about finding courage in compassion and strength in healing—and power in finally confronting the darkness of his youth. 
     
     
     
    Lulich's white father and Black mother met at a civil rights rally, but love was no defense against their personal demons. His mother's suicide and his sometimes brutal father's subsequent withdrawal set Lulich on a course from the South Side of Chicago to the Tuskegee School of Veterinary Medicine in Alabama to an endowed chair at the University of Minnesota. Though shadowed by troubling secrets, his memoir also features scenes of surprising light and promise. Most consequentially, at Tuskegee Lulich rents a room in the home of a seventy-five-year-old Black woman named Grace, whose wholehearted adoption of him—and her own stories of the Jim Crow era—finally gives him a sense of belonging and possibility. 
     
     
     
    Completing his book amid the furor over George Floyd's murder, Lulich reflects on all the ways that race has shaped his life. In the Company of Grace is a moving testament to the power of compassion in the face of seemingly overwhelming circumstances.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    "These writings are the whisperings of God’s Voice to me during those early periods of illumination which occurred in May of every year of my life from the age of seven. These periods of ecstasy – which always characterized cosmic illumination – lasted from ten to fourteen days, during which time I was obliged to seek solitude and aloneness in forests. I endeavored to express the thoughts and moods of these periods of ecstasy as my varying lack of body awareness balanced with my ever increasing cosmic God-consciousness with God and Nature." - WALTER RUSSELL.
