Si la mort ne vient pas, si elle tarde, comme c'est souvent le cas pour les grandes maladies, on pourra recommencer sa lecture doucement. Une fois de plus, on apprivoisera encore mieux les phrases du texte, on leur permettra de devenir siennes et d'accomplir en soi - et pour le malade - leur travail d'amour et d'espérance". -- 4e de couvPar Tina Pestalozzi. 2001

The fourth book in the bestselling Mindfulness Essentials series, a back-to-basics collection from world-renowned Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh that introduces everyone to the essentials of mindfulness practice. Slow, concentrated walking while focusing on in- and out-breaths allows for a unique opportunity to be in the present. There is no need to arrive somewhere—each step is the arrival to concentration, joy, insight, and the momentary enlightenment of aliveness. When your foot touches the Earth with awareness, you make yourself alive and the Earth real, and you forget for one minute the searching, rushing, and longing that rob our daily lives of awareness and cause us to "sleepwalk" through life. Thich Nhat Hanh shares amusing stories of the impact mindful walking has on both the walker and those who notice him, and shows how mindful walking can be a technique for diminishing depression, recapturing wonder, and expressing gratitude. How to Walk is a unique gift for all ages, sharing a simple practice that can have a profound effect on practitioners"La médecine traditionnelle chinoise, encore peu connue en Occident, est pratiquée depuis des millénaires et s'attache davantage à prévenir la…
