Hooponopono. L'essence du Huna repose sur une connaissance approfondie de nos divers plans de conscience en vue de les harmoniser pour mieux exploiter les possibilités illimitées qui s'offrent à nous. Sylvie Doré nous propose un enseignement unique où ses connaissances, jumelées à de nombreux exercices concrets, résultent en un ouvrage pratique, facile à comprendre et fort utile. Après un bref historique sur le Huna, l'auteure explique la respiration HA et son apport dans la création et la projection de l'énergie MANA. Puis, elle s'attarde au concept de l'identité de Soi en présentant les trois plans de conscience de l'être humain : le subconscient, le conscient et le supraconscient. À partir de ces explications, vous apprendrez comment formuler une requête et l'acheminer au supraconscient afin d'en manifester le résultat. Enfin, l'auteure explique de façon claire la méthode de nettoyage des mémoires, Hooponopono, et donne de nombreux exemples et exercices pour son utilisation. Spécialiste québécoise de Huna, Sylvie Doré a été à même de vérifier à maintes reprises la puissance de cet outil dans sa vie. Gravement malade en 1993, elle obtint une guérison complète seulement huit jours après avoir étudié et mis en application le Huna. Depuis, il fait partie intégrante de sa vie, ce qui l'amène à conclure que les miracles sont possibles. " -- 4e de couvPregnant! what can I do?: a guide for teenagers

soi, des autres, des événements, de l'inconnu, à l'image des modèles issus de l'économie et du management d'entreprise qui ont envahi notre champ de conscience.

Reconnaître et admettre sa vulnérabilité est pourtant au coeur de la construction de notre identité.

personnes qui se préparent à mourir et celles qui doivent apprendre à leur survivre ; un texte à vivre petit à petit et infiniment. Avec lui, on ressentira l'action du temps qui s'étire et se dilate. N'est-ce pas justement ce temps élargi jusqu'à l'infini qu'expérimente la personne que l'on aime et qui se prépare à entreprendre le plus grand des voyages ? 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 couvIf you would have told me: A memoir
Par John Stamos. 2023
This program is read by the author. " ...I love him, and I respect him, and I need him. We…
all do. " —from the foreword, written and read by Jamie Lee Curtis If you would have told a young John Stamos flipping burgers at his dad's fast-food joint that one day he'd be a household name and that, at the height of his success, he'd be living alone, divorced, with no kids, high on a cocktail of forgetting, he might've asked, "You want fries with that?" John burst onto the scene in General Hospital , propelling him into the teen idol stratosphere, a place that's often a point of no return. But Stamos beat the odds and over the past four decades has proved himself to be one of his generation's most successful and beloved actors. Whether showing off his comedic chops on Full House or his dramatic skills on ER , pushing the boundaries on Broadway or living out his youthful dreams as an honorary Beach Boy, John has surprised everyone, most of all himself. A universal story about friendship, love, loss, and the courage to embrace love once more, John Stamos's memoir is filled with some of the most memorable names in Hollywood, both old and new. Funny, deeply poignant, and brutally honest, If You Would Have Told Me is a portrait of a boy who went from believing in Disney magic to a man who learns that we have to create our own magical moments in life.

Par Hilary Mantel. 2023
THE FINAL BOOK FROM ONE OF OUR GREATEST WRITERS In addition to her celebrated career as a novelist, Hilary Mantel…
contributed for years to newspapers and journals, unspooling stories from her own life and illuminating the world as she found it. "Ink is a generative fluid," she explains. "If you don't mean your words to breed consequences, don't write at all." A Memoir of My Former Self collects the finest of this writing over four decades. Her subjects are wide-ranging, sharply observed, and beautifully rendered. She discusses nationalism and her own sense of belonging; our dream life popping into our conscious life; the mythic legacy of Princess Diana; the many themes that feed into her novels—revolutionary France, psychics, Tudor England; and other novelists, from Jane Austen to V.S. Naipaul. She writes about her father and the man who replaced him; she writes fiercely and heartbreakingly about the battles with her health that she endured as a young woman, and the stifling years she found herself living in Saudi Arabia. Here, too, is her legendary essay "Royal Bodies," on our endless fascination with the current royal family. From her unusual childhood to her all-consuming interest in Thomas Cromwell that grew into the Wolf Hall trilogy, A Memoir of My Former Self reveals the shape of Hilary Mantel's life in her own luminous words, through "messages from people I used to be." Filled with her singular wit and wisdom, it is essential reading from one of our greatest writersOpposable thumbs: How siskel & ebert changed movies forever
Par Matt Singer. 2023
Once upon a time, if you wanted to know if a movie was worth seeing, you didn’t check out Rotten…
Tomatoes or IMDB. You asked whether Siskel & Ebert had given it “two thumbs up.” On a cold Saturday afternoon in 1975, two men (who had known each other for eight years before they’d ever exchanged a word) met for lunch in a Chicago pub. Gene Siskel was the film critic for the Chicago Tribune . Roger Ebert had recently won the Pulitzer Prize—the first ever awarded to a film critic—for his work at the Chicago Sun-Times. To say they despised each other was an understatement. When they reluctantly agreed to collaborate on a new movie review show with PBS, there was at least as much sparring off-camera as on. No decision—from which films to cover to who would read the lead review to how to pronounce foreign titles—was made without conflict, but their often-antagonistic partnership (which later transformed into genuine friendship) made for great television. In the years that followed, their signature “Two thumbs up!” would become the most trusted critical brand in Hollywood. In Opposable Thumbs , award-winning editor and film critic Matt Singer eavesdrops on their iconic balcony set, detailing their rise from making a few hundred dollars a week on local Chicago PBS to securing multimillion-dollar contracts for a syndicated series (a move that convinced a young local host named Oprah Winfrey to do the same). Their partnership was cut short when Gene Siskel passed away in February of 1999 after a battle with brain cancer that he’d kept secret from everyone outside his immediate family—including Roger Ebert, who never got to say goodbye to his longtime partner. But their influence on in the way we talk about (and think about) movies continues to this day. Photographer/© ABC/Getty ImagesTupac shakur: The authorized biography
Par Staci Robinson. 2023
The first and only estate-authorized biography of the legendary artist, Tupac Shakur, a moving exploration of his life and powerful…
legacy, including mementos, handwritten poetry, musings, and more Artist, poet, actor, revolutionary, legend Tupac Shakur is one of the greatest and most controversial artists of all time. More than a quarter of a century after his tragic death in 1996 at the age of just twenty-five, he continues to be one of the most misunderstood, complicated, and prolific figures in modern history. Drawing on exclusive access to Tupac’s private notebooks, letters, and uncensored conversations with those who loved and knew him best, this estate-authorized biography paints the fullest and most intimate picture to date of the young man who became a legend for generations to come. In Tupac Shakur, author and screenwriter Staci Robinson—who knew Tupac from their shared circle of high school friends in Marin City, California, and who was entrusted by his mother, Afeni Shakur, to share his story—unravels the myths and unpacks the complexities that have shadowed Tupac’s existence. Decades in the making, this book pulls back the curtain to reveal a powerful story of a life defined by politics and art—a man driven by equal parts brilliance and impulsiveness, steeped in the rich intellectual tradition of Black empowerment, and unafraid to utter raw truths about race in America. It is a story of a mother and son bound together by a love for each other and for their people, and the relationship that endured through their darkest times. It is a political story that begins in the whirlwind of the 1960s civil rights movement, and through a young artist’s awakening to rage and purpose in the ’90s era of Rodney King. It is a story of dizzying success and its devastating consequences. And, of course, it is the story of Tupac’s music, his timeless message that will never die as it continues to touch and inspire us todayThe secret life of john le carre
Par Adam Sisman. 2023
The extraordinary secret life of a great novelist, which his biographer could not publish while le Carré was alive. Secrecy…
came naturally to John le Carré, and there were some secrets that he fought fiercely to keep. Adam Sisman's definitive biography, published in 2015, provided a revealing portrait of this fascinating man; yet some aspects of his subject remained hidden. Nowhere was this more so than in his private life. Apparently content in his marriage, the novelist conducted a string of love affairs over five decades. To these relationships he brought much of the tradecraft that he had learned as a spy - cover stories, cut-outs and dead letter boxes. These clandestine operations brought an element of danger to his life, but they also meant deceiving those closest to him. Small wonder that betrayal became a running theme in his work. In trying to manage his biography, the novelist engaged in a succession of skirmishes with his biographer. While he could control what Sisman wrote about him in his lifetime, he accepted that the truth would eventually become known. Following his death in 2020, what had been withheld can now be revealed. The Secret Life of John le Carré reveals a hitherto-hidden perspective on the life and work of the spy-turned-author and a fascinating meditation on the complex relationship between biographer and subject. "Now that he is dead," Sisman writes, "we can know him better."Demandez et vous recevrez
