Sinu keha peegeldab su mõtteid. Kui oskad kuulata keha sõnumeid, võid ära hoida ja leevendada füüsilisi vaevusi, vabanedes ühtaegu lahendamata probleemidest, kivistunud mõttemustritest, alateadvusse kuhjunud hingehaavadest.Seda raamatut lugedes mõistad, kuidas *meeleseisund mõjutab füüsist; *iga tunne ja mõte on seotud teatava kehaosa ja haigutusega; *lahendamata probleemid kahjustavad tervist; *kasutada oma vaimu- ja südamejõudu, et tervendada keha loova visualisatsiooni, lõdvestuse ja meditatsiooni abil; *teadlik hingamine, liikumine ja täiendravi aitavad tervenemisele kaasa.

Human meat...the ultimate taboo. Deep down, in the dark recesses of your mind, can you honestly say you never wondered how it might taste? Honestly, never wondered if a chunk of thigh tasted like chicken or pork? Or if a hunk of an arm was similar to steak? And what kind of wine would be served with it, red or white? Would a human liver be no different than one from a cow, or a pig? For all we know, human flesh is as tender as veal, better than the finest tenderloin. And that is what the stories in this book are about, eating each other. But be warned, after reading these tales of mastication, you may just become a vegetarian, or at the very least, think twice before taking your first bite of that juicy steak at your local restaurant.

Nowadays the Internet is also a basic element for various sectors which totally depend on it, such as telecommunication, the economy or infrastructure. But how does this highly complicated system actually work? And how is it possible that each web site can be reached any time by everyone worldwide?
