THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO LIVING IN BLISSFUL HARMONY WITH NATURAL AND LUNAR RHYTHMS - A LANDMARK INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

You've probably always known that the moon's rhythms affect the world in certain ways - the ebb and flow of the tides, the most beneficial times to plant and harvest - but are you aware of its influence on virtually all the important areas of your daily life? If not, you're not alone.

Effortless weight loss and control – without yo-yo effect * Speedy, scarfree recovery after planned surgeries * Body care, beauty care and anti-aging the natural way * Effortless housekeeping with long-lasting effects * Green building and renovating with enduring results * Organic and sustainable gardening, farming and forestry with less toil, more fun and results to be proud of: The list of benefits does not stop here! Caught your attention?

In The Power of Timing, authors Johanna Paungger and Thomas Poppe reintroduce an ancient wisdom and give a straightforward promise: All of that list and more will happen if you start to apply a few basic principles of timing in your life. Principles our ancestors adhered to for millennia. It works, it doesn’t cost a thing and the only investment is a little patience. Promised.

Don’t worry: No complicated recipes here. In concise, easy-to-understand language, the book offers tips and advice that will help you make the best decisions in almost everything. The Power of Timing will prove to be an invaluable resource in your quest to live a happier, more harmonious life.

Johanna Paungger grew up with this knowledge from day one, as the daughter of a Tyrolean mountain farmer family. She and Thomas Poppe are among the best-selling authors in Germany, where the German-language edition of this book has sold nine million copies to date and has been translated into 25 languages and. A success without any advertising, only by word-of mouth.

Even though there is little evidence today that the individual person has any influence on the recovery of the world, every little action, but above all, each good thought, counts. It can have a much deeper and immediate effect than big gestures or big empty words. Many people have begun to live more wisely and with reason and moderation. They experience what joy, serenity and inner peace are possible when leading a self-sufficient life that is free and incorruptible. It is deeply satisfying to protect our fellow humans and our environment, not as a lifestyle fraught with imposed ideology and fake morals, but with a clear comprehension of the actual nature of mankind. Namely, that we were created for each other, not against each other. In doing so, the Power of Timing, our common inheritance, can move us a big step into the future.

In the early eighties people started asking me to pass on knowledge that had been instilled in me since earliest childhood, namely, the knowledge of moon rhythms and their influence on all living things on earth. I owe this knowledge to my grandfather who taught me that intuition, observation and experience are the key to many things in nature, things that cannot necessarily be explained scientifically.

I clearly remember my first lecture in 1983. I had been warned to expect heckling, but my inner conviction and the support of my friends were such that I did not care how many people would make fun of me.
For me only one thing was important: If I could spark just one person’s interest then this ancient knowledge would be kept alive; knowledge that had survived for centuries by word of mouth, experimentation and use and which could be of great value in current times.

Encouraged by the success of my first lecture, others soon followed. After many, many lectures and feeling overwhelmed by countless inquiries, I began looking for a writer who would put this knowledge down on paper. I found the ideal partner in Thomas Poppe.

These days I am happy that so many people are receptive to moon knowledge. Although initially many faces in the audience reflected disbelief, this quickly changed to overwhelming interest. Living according to lunar cycles is nothing new for me, but I am delighted to see how many people once again believe in this ancient knowledge.

My wish is that you shall, assuming you enjoy it, acquire knowledge that will accompany you for a lifetime and will not require using guides and tables. Knowledge that will become second nature and that you can pass on to your children as a stepping-stone to their own experiences. Even though you did not grow up with this knowledge, every one of our books gives you ample opportunity for hands-on-experience. This is far more effective than thousands of examples on paper. After a few attempts it will no longer feel strange and you will see how simple it really is. These books were written together with my dear friend and husband Thomas Poppe. May they make things easier for receptive readers and provide them with a helpful guide for many situations.

After decades of preparation we could finally fulfill another one of our dreams: To come out with a line of products that were manufactured at the right time. We would like to recommend that you try one or the other product. The success when using these natural products speaks for itself.

Don't anyone laugh! I am a Lunar fan and do believe the moon controls much in nature we do not realize (ourselves included:) which makes for an interesting read. Especially when trying to decided on a day for good fishing!

Een praktisch boek over hoe de maanstanden te gebruiken in het dagelijkse leven. Ook interessante uitleg over invloed van de maan. Een aanrader voor lezers die meer de maanstanden in hun dagelijkse leven willen toepassen.

Ik wilde iets meer weten over de werking van de maan. Maar dit boek is dusdanig gedetailleerd, met hoe je volgens de “wetten van de maan” plant x moet planten op manier y, dat ik de weg kwijtraakte. Het begin was nog wel aardig. Maar ik miste achtergronden en uitleg. En vervolgens ging het veel te diep.

Non riesco a trovare le parole per dire quanto poco mi ha affascinato questo libro. Se dovessi dare un titolo alla mia recensione: La fiera della ridondanza.

Książka przeleżała u mnie 17 lat zanim się za nią zabrałem :D A nówka była, leżała sobie i czekała na ten moment...
Jeśli potraktować ją jako ciekawostkę, to bardzo jest ciekawa. Natomiast co do zastosowania... to problematyczne jest o tyle, że co chwilę musiałbym do niej zaglądać, bo większości się nie zapamięta. Myślę więc że niewiele skorzystam. Ale kilka rad postaram się zapamiętać, wszak jeśli naprawdę sprzątanie gdy księżyca ubywa daje rezultaty na dłużej, to warto chyba spróbować :P

Przytoczę tylko jeden cytat za to znowu wiążący się z... no wiadomo o co chodzi, cały czas o to samo ;)

s.39
"Nasza świadomość, nasze nastawienie do życia jest tym, co współdecyduje o losie naszego ciała, co wpływa na zdrowie, sprawność i pogodę ducha. Jednocześnie ma wpływ na przyszłość natury, środowiska. Stan świadomości jest odzwierciedleniem naszych własnych stanów, zarówno fizycznych, jak i psychicznych."

my bible! i love love love this book. it's like a book i would find next to my grandmother's farmer's almanac. not a lot of new age hooey where it doesn't need to be but enough folklore to keep me entertained. i've learned so much about gardening according to the natural cycle of things, like how sap runs above or below ground on a tree depending on the waxing and waning of the moon and how that determines when you trim or transplant etc. if she doesn't know why something works better during a phase she just says so. 'i don't know why it works it just does you can try it for yourself or not' kinda thing. if you don't believe in astrology or have any patience for nature's timing, this is not a book for you.
