Chunfeng "Breeze" Dong: A Mindful Tale of the Gaya Forest, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Growing up can feel like walking into a monsoon without an umbrella. Your body changes overnight, friendships shift like sand, and emotions arrive too big for your chest - the roaring Monster of Anger, the suffocating Monster of Panic, the buzzing swarm of anxiety that makes the whole world feel unfair and lonely. But what if you had a superpower to tame them? In the first book of The Time-Stoppers Trilogy, two very different young people are about to discover one. Meet Svasti, an eleven-year-old "untouchable" carrying an entire family on his shoulders and a boiling rage against a world that treats him like dirt. Meet Sujata, a chief's daughter quietly suffocating beneath everyone's expectations. On the outside, their lives could not look more different. On the inside, they are fighting the very same ghosts. Deep in the shadowy Gaya Forest, they stumble upon a teacher who offers them an ancient, astonishing magic - one that needs no wand, no spellbook, and no special bloodline. It asks only for the rhythm of a heartbeat and the quiet power of a single breath. Together they learn to build an invisible shield against cruel words, to drop an anchor when waves of panic crash over them, and to cast the "Time-Stopper" - the spell that finds stillness inside the storm. Set in ancient India and woven with timeless wisdom, this is a gripping adventure with real tools tucked inside it: practices that help a young, developing mind meet big feelings with calm instead of chaos. For teenagers riding the turbulence of puberty - and the parents who want to walk beside them - this is an invitation to discover the quiet strength that has been waiting inside all along. Take a deep breath. Drop your anchor. The forest is waiting.
