Manuel de méditation laïque : cultiver sérénité et efficacité au bureau et à la maison
Louis Genet
Ce manuel propose une série de moyens et de procédés, comme la visualisation ou la gestion de la pensée, l'attention sur le souffle ou le scan corporel, l'utilisation mentale des sons ou des couleurs… Ces techniques enseignées par des maîtres spirituels de l'Himalaya ont cependant été adaptées à nos mentalités occidentales en les laïcisant, c'est-à-dire en ne faisant pas référence aux origines religieuses ou exotiques de ces propositions. Le méditant trouvera ainsi dans sa pratique de tous les jours et de tous les instants, quel que soit son environnement, des moyens mnémotechniques qui vont le soutenir et l'armer pour atteindre ce but : trouver la paix de son esprit et l'harmonisation de ses composantes corporelle, émotionnelle, mentale et spirituelle.
Unplug: a simple guide to meditation for busy skeptics and modern soul seekers
Suze Yalof Schwartz, Debra Goldstein
Healthier life is to hurry up and slow down, to unplug. Studies show that you can get more done and do it better by doing less, just by consciously unplugging for a few minutes each day and meditating. Schwartz debunks the common misperceptions about meditation, including the notion that you need to sit still for long periods of time, or that you need to "turn off your brain." She also shares the life-changing benefits you will experience, the proven science of how meditation literally changes your brain, as well as easy techniques and tips to easily incorporate meditation into your daily life.
Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics
Dan Harris
ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play Ultimate Frisbee, and use the word “namaste” without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange and circuitous journey that ultimately led him to become one of meditation’s most vocal public proponents.
Here’s what he’s fixated on now: Science suggests that meditation can lower blood pressure, mitigate depression and anxiety, and literally rewire key parts of the brain, among numerous other benefits. This book is filled with game-changing and deeply practical meditation instructions.
