Par Thich Hanh. 2023
An introduction to mindful walking, which can be done anywhere, at any time—even on a commute to work or school…
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 practitionersPure drivel

activité immémoriale qui apparaît anachronique à certains? Le philosophe espagnol José Ortega y Gasset répond à cette question en explorant l'âme humaine et en révélant les pulsions profondes et identitaires qui animent le chasseur. À l'instar des animaux, celui-ci, une fois dans la nature, devient l'homme en alerte qui retrouve le sens profond de sa place dans la cohorte des vivants. Pour y arriver, selon Ortega, le chasseur doit librement renoncer à la suprématie de ses moyens. -- 4e de couv
