Auch ich empfehle diese Technik bereits seit sehr vielen Jahren.

Scientists have confirmed that a simple breathing technique — two inhales followed by one exhale — can rapidly reduce anxiety. This pattern stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, slowing heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and inducing a sense of calm.
Remarkably, this method requires no medication, special equipment, or formal training, making it accessible to anyone experiencing stress, panic attacks, or nervous tension. Practicing the rhythm for just a few minutes can produce noticeable effects, helping individuals regain focus and composure.
Researchers see enormous potential for integration into daily life, workplaces, schools, and therapy programs, offering a natural, immediate tool for emotional regulation. The technique exemplifies how tiny, mindful actions can produce profound physiological and psychological benefits.
As society grapples with rising stress and anxiety, this discovery offers hope: sometimes, the simplest solutions — like a conscious breath — are also the most powerful.

Some hospitals and hospices in the UK and Australia have introduced “Cuddle Beds”, that is special wider beds that let families lie beside their loved ones who are terminally ill. These beds bring comfort, warmth, and emotional closeness during the most difficult final moments of life.

Hospices like St Wilfrid’s and North Devon Hospice in the UK, and hospitals in Queensland and Western Australia, have already started using cuddle beds.

They allow partners, children, or even grandchildren to cuddle their loved ones safely while still giving nurses room to provide care. Many of these beds are donated through community support and charity foundations, showing how compassion and innovation can go hand in hand.

Families say these beds make a heartbreaking time a little more peaceful . helping patients feel loved and held until the very end. It’s a touching reminder that sometimes, love and presence are the best medicine of all.

Looked-In-Syndrom ... What a story

🧠 The Boy Who Woke Up Inside His Own Body — The True Story of Martin Pistorius 💔✨

For years, everyone thought Martin Pistorius was gone. His body was still, his eyes vacant, his mind — they said — erased.
But they were wrong.
Martin was alive.
Trapped inside his own body. Watching. Listening. Remembering.

It started in 1988, when 12-year-old Martin, a healthy boy from South Africa, came home with a sore throat. Then a fever. Then — nothing.
Within months, his body shut down.
Doctors suspected cryptococcal meningitis and cerebral tuberculosis, but no one had answers — only a brutal verdict: irreversible vegetative state.

His parents were told to take him home. To wait.
For twelve years, he lived in silence — a prisoner inside his own body.

By the time he turned 16, something impossible happened.
His mind woke up, but his body didn’t.
He could see, hear, and understand everything — but he couldn’t move or speak.
He watched life unfold around him — nurses talking, TVs humming, people assuming he wasn’t there.

Then came the moment that broke him:
One day, his exhausted mother whispered, “I hope you die.”
She thought no one could hear her.
But Martin did.

“I never blamed her,” he said years later. “It was despair — and the cruel silence that surrounded me.”

Yet even then, he didn’t give up.
He began to train his mind — counting, imagining, clinging to thoughts to stay sane.
Until one day, a caregiver — Virna van der Walt — noticed a flicker in his eyes. Something alive. Something aware.
“I think he’s in there,” she said.

Doctors at the University of Pretoria confirmed it — Martin was conscious.
Using assistive technology, he learned to communicate again — first with eye movement, then through a computer voice.

Slowly, the world returned.

• Martin earned a degree in Computer Science 🖥️
• He wrote a bestselling memoir, Ghost Boy (2011)
• He married Joanna, a social worker from the UK 💍
• They had a son, and he now travels the world giving motivational talks
• His case is one of the most famous examples of “locked-in syndrome” awareness and recovery ever recorded

“The truth is, I was never completely gone. I was just waiting for someone to notice me.” — Martin Pistorius

So sieht wahrer Heldenmut aus. 🥇❤️
Die polnische Olympiateilnehmerin Maria Andrejczyk gewann bei den Olympischen Spielen 2020 in Tokio Silber im Speerwurf. Doch was sie dann tat, war noch unglaublicher.
Sie versteigerte ihre Olympiamedaille, um 125.000 Dollar für ein Baby in Polen zu sammeln, das eine lebensrettende Herzoperation benötigte. Die polnische Supermarktkette Żabka gab das höchste Gebot ab.
Doch anstatt die Medaille zu behalten, bezahlte man die Operation und gab ihr die Medaille zurück. Sie symbolisiere ihr großes Herz und ihren olympischen Geist.
Der Glaube an die Menschheit: wiederhergestellt. 🌍

What a strong woman 👏

Before Wilma Rudolph became an Olympic icon and "the world's fastest woman," she fought a battle far more challenging than any race -- a childhood polio infection at age four that left her paralyzed, striking years before the protective vaccine would become available in 1955. Growing up in segregated Clarksville, Tennessee as one of 22 children in an impoverished family, Wilma's prospects seemed especially dire when doctors declared she would never walk normally again. The paralysis in her left leg forced her to wear a heavy metal brace, and Wilma and her mother made weekly bus trips to Nashville fifty miles away for treatment, as local medical facilities wouldn't serve African Americans.

Determined to overcome this devastating diagnosis, Wilma's mother learned physical therapy techniques and devised a home-based rehabilitation program. She taught Wilma's siblings how to perform therapeutic massage on her weakened leg, and they diligently took turns providing these treatments four times daily. For years, this family-driven therapy continued alongside Wilma's fierce determination to regain her mobility. By age 12, she was finally able to remove her leg brace permanently, an achievement that defied medical expectations and showcased her extraordinary resilience.

This triumph over polio was merely the beginning of Rudolph's remarkable journey. After discarding her brace, she began playing basketball in junior high, where her natural speed caught the attention of a Tennessee State University track coach. From a child who couldn't walk without assistance, Rudolph transformed herself through sheer determination into the "fastest woman in the world" at the 1960 Rome Olympics, winning three gold medals and becoming the first American woman to achieve this feat in a single Olympics. Her victory wasn't just personal -- it represented a powerful statement about overcoming both physical disability and racial barriers during a pivotal era in American civil rights history, inspiring generations who would follow.

The month of May is a year of many anniversaries this year!

Today I'm celebrating my three-year anniversary in my practice in Schwaz. Last Saturday we celebrated our 30th anniversary in Trebusin Castle. In addition, the 100-year consecration anniversary of a war memorial and its return by me to the community. On the plaque are the names of the fallen, missing and deceased soldiers from the First World War. At that time, Trebusin still belonged to the K & K monarchy and thus to Austria. The consecration was in 1922. We celebrated both anniversaries together with the mayoress, the deputy mayor and more than 100 guests. I celebrated my little practice anniversary today with my partner and our dogs at Lake Achensee with a picnic 😊

🍾 🥂 30th anniversary celebration in Zàmek Trebusin 🍾 🥂

Dear friends of Zamek Trebusin

Last weekend we celebrated our 30th anniversary party in the castle! Exactly 30 years ago to the day (07.05.1992) my mother opened her Schlosshotel Hubertus *** on Mother's Day 🥰

In 2005 I took over the business and transformed the hotel over several years, together with Mr. Pavel Vurma and Ms. Mag. Martina Kubinova, into a holiday home for large groups. Our success, especially as a wedding location, for group vacationers and for workshops, confirms that this was absolutely the right decision for me/us!

Our anniversary party lasted a week from Monday, May 2nd, 2022 to Monday, May 9th, 2022 🥰 🥳 🥰

Our festival week included several small celebrations in very close families and friends and had its climax on Saturday, May 7th, 2022.
Guests came from all over the Czech Republic for this. As well as from Portugal (Albufeira and Lisbon), Germany (Tübingen, Reutlingen, Düsseldorf, Bavaria, from all over Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt) and also from Austria (Tyrol). On Saturday alone, there were over 100 invited guests in the castle and other visitors from the region came to attend the ceremonial return of the found commemorative plaque on the market square.

❤️️ The festival was, especially for me, a big thank you to all my dear friends who had actively supported me and my family over the last 30 - 17 years ❤️

In addition, the 100-year consecration anniversary of the war memorial 🙏

The ceremonial return of the found war memorial to our mayor Ms. Dana Legnerová took place at 4:00 p.m. on the Triebscher (Trebusiner) market square. The plaque from 1922 with the names of the fallen, missing and deceased soldiers from the First World War from the Trebusin region was found by chance during renovation work in the castle. After we had the valuable stone tablet professionally cleaned, it was ceremonially returned to the community on behalf of my family as part of our anniversary celebration. This handover was not only a very moving moment for me... ❤️

💐 I would like to thank all guests from near and far for coming💐
I would like to express special thanks again to Mr. Pavel Vurma and Ms. Mgr. Martina Kubinova - without their help I would not have managed the festival so well, despite a year of organization!

I would also like to take this opportunity to once again thank our mayor and our deputy mayor for coming.

❤️ A heartfelt thank you goes to my partner Emil Velkovski, all my friends and my dear Czech adopted family “VURMA” ❤️
Without all of them, I certainly would not have managed to continue my mother's business after her death.

❤️ You guys are the best friends and adopted family I could wish for - Cheers to YOU ❤️

Your happy and very grateful

Claudia de Almeida

In the other posts that will follow in the near future, I will share more photos and videos with you from our big festival in May 2022 and of course also photos from the return of the memorial plaque.

Have fun watching 😊

Die neue Methode, die als „transiente Reprogrammierung der Reifephase“ bezeichnet wird, arbeitet schneller (13 Tage im Vergleich zu 50 in den Experimenten des Yamanaka-Teams) und stoppt, bevor der Stammzellenzustand erreicht ist, sodass die Zelle ihre ursprüngliche Identität und Funktion behalten kann. ...

Die Tatsache, dass wir auch eine Umkehrung von Alterungsindikatoren in mit Krankheiten assoziierten Genen gesehen haben, ist besonders vielversprechend für die Zukunft dieser Arbeit.“

Bis jetzt verstehen die Wissenschaftler nicht vollständig, wie der Mechanismus hinter der transienten Reprogrammierung in der Reifungsphase funktioniert, aber sie glauben, dass bestimmte Schlüsselteile des Genoms, die dabei helfen, die Zellidentität zu kontrollieren, der Reprogrammierung entkommen könnten. ...

It's not quite the mythical fountain of youth but it is, perhaps, a start: Scientists have managed to engineer human skin cells to reverse 30 years of aging, resetting them to a much more youthful state in terms of certain molecular measurements.
