How to walk (Mindfulness Essentials)
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 practitionersThe kingdom of Shivas Irons

Legendre, Jean-Claude Lord, Jacques Villeneuve. Ces onze personnalités québécoises hors du commun nous offrent une occassion unique de connaître Réjean Tremblay au-delà de ses écrits. Réjean Tremblay. Ce nom évoque pour tous les Québécois, quelle que soit leur génération, les plus grands moments de sport et de télévision des quatre dernières décennies. [...] Toutes les légendes du sport ont rencontré Réjean Tremblay. Il a également accompagné de sa plume le règne du Canadien des années 1974-1979, la grande aventure des Nordiques et des Expos, les plus importants Grand Prix de Formule 1 ou encore les Jeux olympiques, comme ceux de Moscou ou de Sarajevo. Cela se poursuivra à Vancouver en 2010! Réjean Tremblay est considéré comme la référence en termes de sport au Québec, mais aussi comme celui qui a changé le visage du journalisme sportif en lui insufflant un humour, une audace et une humanité incomparables. Travailleur acharné, grand défenseur du fait français, auteur de séries télévisées inoubliables (Lance et compte, Scoop, Casino, etc.), ce passionné aime son métier comme au premier jour. Il était donc grand temps qu'il nous offre ses plus hauts faits de journalisme publiés dans le journal La Presse, qui sont autant de témoins de notre histoire". -- 4e de couvPetite philosophie du marcheur (Pause philo)

sol sous ses pieds produit un effet à la fois dynamisant et apaisant. Peu importe le but poursuivi, la marche, la balade, la promenade, la randonnée, le pèlerinage - c'est selon - font du bien au corps et à l'esprit. D'ailleurs, les philosophes ont aussi pratiqué la marche, chacun à sa façon : Thalès, et son faux pas qui le précipita au fond d'un puits ; Kant que rien ne détourna jamais de sa sortie quotidienne, à cinq heures précises ; Kierkegaard et ses promenades imaginaires ; Cioran, déambulant loin des hommes et de leurs désastreuses ambitions... L'auteur, promeneur assidu, examine attentivement cette mystérieuse connivence du pas et du mot, du souffle et de l'idée, du muscle et de la pensée. La marche éveille et stimule l'esprit, mais, bien plus encore, elle est une sagesse, une sagesse du corps." -- 4e de couvWhen pride still mattered: a life of Vince Lombardi

"L'histoire des arts martiaux est riche et multiple. Comment une telle science du combat, souvent destinée à vaincre, au moins…
à se défendre, peut-elle nous faire accéder à une vraie sagesse ? La philosophie occidentale cultive, par goût et par tradition, la faculté de "penser", de créer des concepts. Les arts martiaux nous invitent à une démarche complémentaire, consistant à fortifier notre corps, pour libérer l'esprit du poids de la vie moderne. Et la paix intérieure que la pratique martiale engendre n'est pas un mythe. L'art du combat suscite bien des passions. Il est présent partout et peut déterminer notre vie. Cet essai s'adresse à tous ceux qui ont envie de mieux connaître l'univers et l'histoire des arts martiaux, à travers les divers chemins de sagesse qu'ils proposent. Le karaté, l'aïkido, le taekwondo, le kung-fu ne seront peut-être plus des noms barbares, et la sagesse non plus". -- 4e de couvGolf in the Kingdom (An Esalen book)
