> L'ÉVEIL DES SENS, Vivre l'instant présent grâce à la pleine conscience, de Pr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, éditions Les arènes. — Les adeptes du yoga sont convaincus que pratiquer la méditation est une nécessité. En éveillant nos sens, nous pouvons façonner notre esprit et remplacer l'agitation par le calme, la haine par la bienveillance, le mal-être et la maladie par le bien-être. Ce livre nous apprend à nous ouvrir aux sensations ; il fait comprendre comment la méditation a une action salutaire sur la santé. (J.-P. LAFFEZ)

Now in paperback, the guide to living a meaningful life from the world stress expert "[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 Ten years ago, 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.

Ten years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn changed the way we though 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 well-being. With scientific rigor, poetic deftness, and compelling personal stories, Dr. 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.

As stress continues to exact a toll on everyday life, people are increasingly turning to meditative methods, tested by science, to relieve its ill effects and become more focused, healthy, and proactive. Kabat-Zinn is a leader of the mind/body revolution in medicine and health care, demystifying it and bringing it into the mainstream. This book offers insight into how to use the five senses -- touch, hearing, sight, taste, and smell, plus awareness itself -- as a path to a healthier, saner, and more meaningful life.

In questo suo nuovo libro, Kabat-Zinn intende fornire il testo di riferimento, nella nostra epoca, sulla relazione fra consapevolezza e benessere fisico e spirituale, prendendo in esame i misteri e le meraviglie della nostra mente e del nostro corpo e descrivendo modi semplici e intuitivi per arrivare, tramite i sensi, a una comprensione più profonda della nostra bellezza, del nostro genio e del percorso che scegliamo per la nostra vita in un mondo complicato, dominato dalla paura e in rapido mutamento. In ognuna delle otto parti del libro, Kabat-Zinn esplora un aspetto di quella grande avventura che è guarire noi stessi e il nostro mondo con la pratica di consapevolezza, concentrandosi sui panorami sensoriali della nostra vita.
