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…

Par Olivier Bauer, Jean-Marc Barreau. 2009
"Que l'engouement pour un sport comme le hockey puisse s'apparenter à une forme de religion n'est pas une idée neuve.…
Cependant, dans cet ouvrage audacieux, Olivier Bauer et Jean-Marc Barreau entendent pousser la réflexion bien au-delà de cette simple affirmation. En plein centenaire du Canadien de Montréal, aidés de collègues universitaires séduits par leur entreprise, ils recourent à la métaphore du sport comme religion pour analyser le pouvoir d'attraction qu'exerce le célèbre club de hockey sur la population québécoise. Mais comment parler du Canadien comme religion sans se poser en même temps la question de la place et du rôle de la religion au Québec? L'ouvrage, on s'en doute bien, n'apporte pas des réponses définitives à la question. Mais il présente l'intérêt d'ouvrir des pistes de réflexion passionnantes". -- 4e de couvThe kingdom of Shivas Irons
