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 practitionersWhen a friend dies: a book for teens about grieving & healing

fondements bien fragiles. Le culte marial de Lourdes a été monté par l'Église, avec l'appui tacite de l'administration impériale et des médias de l'époque. En s'appuyant sur toutes les sources sérieuses connues à ce jour, l'auteur brosse le contexte religieux de l'époque et présente les protagonistes (la famille Soubirous, le clergé local, l'administration impériale, la presse...). Il détaille les mystères de la grotte, explique comment les canaux de l'eau miraculeuse ont été trafiqués, les témoignages de Bernadette orientés et souligne la disparition de pièces capitales. Il s'attache particulièrement à la personnalité de Bernadette, à ses déclarations et correspondances, puis à sa triste fin au couvent de Nevers où elle vécut un véritable martyre. Il explore enfin en détail l'histoire et la prolifération des cultes autour de Marie, jusqu'au concile Vatican II et montre combien "les mirages de Lourdes" ont bien servi la stratégie de l'Église catholique". -- 4e de couvThe death of Adam: essays on modern thought
