New Releases by Jon Kabat-Zinn

Cet ouvrage fondamental est un programme structuré de réduction du stress dont la réputation s’est développée ces dernières années. Le programme MBSR a été développé à la clinique de réduction du stress du Centre Médical de l’université du Massachusetts et continue d’y être développé. Plusieurs centaines de milliers de patients ont, depuis sa création, suivi le programme. Cet ouvrage est préfacé par Christophe André, célèbre psychiatre français, qui utilise ces techniques. Cet enseignement de la "pleine conscience " (Mindfulness) nous amène à vivre d'instant en instant, ce qui permet de réduire le stress, l'anxiété et la douleur, et de vivre autrement la souffrance et la maladie.

La consapevolezza è considerata l''elemento centrale della meditazione buddista, ma la sua essenza è universale e di profonda utilità pratica per tutti. Essenzialmente la consapevolezza è essere sempre vigili e, malgrado sia caratteristico della nostra mente innescare il pilota automatico e perdere il contatto con l''unico momento, quello presente, di cui effettivamente disponiamo per vivere, sentire, crescere, amare, dare forma alle cose o guarire, essa possiede anche l''innata capacità di destarci al «qui e ora». In questo libro Jon Kabat-Zinn traccia un percorso semplice per coltivare la consapevolezza nella nostra vita. Come un giardino esige cure attente se vogliamo coltivare fiori e non vederlo invaso dalle erbacce, così la consapevolezza richiede interventi regolari. L''autore si rivolge sia a chi si avvicina alla meditazione per la prima volta, sia ai praticanti di lunga data e a chiunque sia interessato a recuperare la ricchezza dei propri momenti. Solo grazie alla meditazione, che è appunto l''essere presenti a se stessi, possiamo vivere invece che lasciarci vivere. La meditazione è infatti il processo finalizzato ad approfondire attenzione e lucidità e a metterle in atto nella vita.

Este libro está dirigido a todos aquellos que desean recobrar la esperanza y una sensación de bienestar.

« Avec son langage simple et ses idées percutantes, Au cœur de la tourmente, la pleine conscience a fait découvrir à toute l’Amérique que la technique la plus simple de méditation - fondée sur la conscience du moment présent - était une des voies royales vers une vie plus riche et plus équilibrée. C’est un livre fondateur et essentiel pour tous ceux qui s’intéressent à leur santé, autant émotionnelle que physique. Et pour tous les soignants. » David Servan-Schreiber Nous souffrons tous un jour ou l’autre. Cette souffrance peut être petite ou grande, personnelle ou professionnelle, générer un stress minime ou important. Certains d’entre nous y font face, d’autres n’arrivent pas à gérer. La technique de la pleine conscience nous aide à vivre le moment présent qu’il soit positif ou négatif, à l’appréhender comme un fait en nous demandant non pas comment réagir mais comment répondre. Comme l’explique Christophe André, « La vie ne commence pas qu’une fois tous nos problèmes résolus. Non, elle est déjà là, sous nos problèmes et nos insatisfactions. Prête à accueillir le bonheur et la grâce. » Cet ouvrage, basé sur le célèbre programme de réduction du stress de Jon Kabat-Zinn, nous explique ce qu’est la pleine conscience, ce qu’elle peut nous apporter et comment l’ « atteindre ». Tous ceux qui souhaitent vivre et mener une vie plus saine et plus harmonieuse dans le monde d’aujourd’hui devraient découvrir Au cœur de la tourmente, la pleine conscience…

Come to your senses with the definitive guide to living a meaningful life from a world expert in the connection between mindfulness and physical and spiritual wellbeing. "[The] journey toward health and sanity is nothing less than an invitation to wake up to the fullness of our lives as if they actually mattered . . ." --Jon Kabat-Zinn, from the Introduction Jon Kabat-Zinn changed the way we thought about awareness in everyday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. Now, with Coming to Our Senses, he provides the definitive book for our time on the connection between mindfulness and our physical and spiritual wellbeing. With scientific rigor, poetic deftness, and compelling personal stories, Jon Kabat-Zinn examines the mysteries and marvels of our minds and bodies, describing simple, intuitive ways in which we can come to a deeper understanding, through our senses, of our beauty, our genius, and our life path in a complicated, fear-driven, and rapidly changing world. In each of the book''s eight parts, Jon Kabat-Zinn explores another facet of the great adventure of healing ourselves -- and our world -- through mindful awareness, with a focus on the "sensescapes" of our lives and how a more intentional awareness of the senses, including the human mind itself, allows us to live more fully and more authentically. By "coming to our senses" -- both literally and metaphorically by opening to our innate connectedness with the world around us and within us -- we can become more compassionate, more embodied, more aware human beings, and in the process, contribute to the healing of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both little and big.

Throughout our lives we long to love ourselves more deeply and find a greater sense of connection with others. Our fear of intimacy--both with others and with ourselves--creates feelings of pain and longing. But these feelings can also awaken in us the desire for freedom and the willingness to take up the spiritual path. In this inspiring book, Sharon Salzberg, one of America''s leading spiritual teachers, shows us how the Buddhist path of lovingkindness ( metta in Pali), can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each of us. This practice of lovingkindness is revolutionary because it has the power to radically change our lives, helping us create true happiness in ourselves and genuine compassion for others. The Buddha described the nature of such a spiritual path as "the liberation of the heart, which is love." The author draws on simple Buddhist teachings, wisdom stories from various traditions, guided meditation practices, and her own experience from twenty-five years of practice and teaching to illustrate how each one of us can cultivate love, compassion, joy, and equanimity--the four "heavenly abodes" of traditional Buddhism.

The bestselling author of "Wherever You Go, There You Are" joins forces with his wife, Myla, in this groundbreaking new book about mindfulness in parenting children of all ages. Two-color throughout.

Mindfulness is considered the heart of Buddhist meditation. But its essence is universal and of deep practical benefit to everyone. In Mindfulness Meditation for Everyday Life, Jon Kabat-Zinn maps out a simple path for cultivating mindfulness in our lives, and awakening us to the unique beauty and possibilities of each present moment. He shows us how this simple meditation technique can enable us to be truly in touch with where we already are, so that we can be fully aware at all times.
