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 couvThe anxiety book: developing strength in the face of fear

Par Thurston Moore. 2023
From the founding member of Sonic Youth, a passionate memoir tracing the author's life and art—from his teen years as…
a music obsessive in small-town Connecticut, to the formation of his legendary rock group, to thirty years of creation, experimentation, and wonder "Downtown scientists rejoice! For Thurston Moore has unearthed the missing links, the sacred texts, the forgotten stories, and the secret maps of the lost golden age. This is history—scuffed, slightly bent, plenty noisy, and indispensable." —Colson Whitehead, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Underground Railroad and Harlem Shuffle Thurston Moore moved to Manhattan’s East Village in 1978 with a yearning for music. He wanted to be immersed in downtown New York’s sights and sounds—the feral energy of its nightclubs, the angular roar of its bands, the magnetic personalities within its orbit. But more than anything, he wanted to make music—to create indelible sounds that would move, provoke, and inspire. His dream came to life in 1981 with the formation of Sonic Youth, a band Moore cofounded with Kim Gordon and Lee Ranaldo. Sonic Youth became a fixture in New York’s burgeoning No Wave scene—an avant-garde collision of art and sound, poetry and punk. The band would evolve from critical darlings to commercial heavyweights, headlining festivals around the globe while helping introduce listeners to such artists as Nirvana, Hole, and Pavement, and playing alongside such icons as Neil Young and Iggy Pop. Through it all, Moore maintained an unwavering love of music: the new, the unheralded, the challenging, the irresistible. In the spirit of Just Kids , Sonic Life offers a window into the trajectory of a celebrated artist and a tribute to an era of explosive creativity. It presents a firsthand account of New York in a defining cultural moment, a history of alternative rock as it was birthed and came to dominate airwaves, and a love letter to music, whatever the form. This is a story for anyone who has ever felt touched by sound—who knows the way the right song at the right moment can change the course of a lifeTalking about death won't kill you
