autre choix, tout ça ne serait pas arrivé... Combien de fois par jour nous flagellons-nous avec de telles pensées négatives ? Pour en finir avec cette haine de soi qui nous empoisonne l'existence, Tara Brach, thérapeute et grande pionnière du bouddhisme occidental, nous propose d'entreprendre une acceptation radicale de nous-mêmes. Grâce à une méthode simple et pleine de finesse où se mêlent méditations guidées et anecdotes personnelles, elle nous montre comment rompre avec la spirale de la culpabilité et la déconsidération de soi afin de nous aimer tels que nous sommes : imparfaits certes, mais aussi confiants et bienveillants à l'égard des autres. Apaisant et lumineux, L'Acceptation radicale est un livre culte aux États-Unis, sans cesse réédité depuis sa parution en 2004. Un texte fondateur, pour une estime de soi contagieuse. " -- 4e de couv.

and in 1988 he became one of a tiny number of Aboriginal Canadians named to a federal cabinet. From the Brian Mulroney era to that of Stephen Harper, St. Germain remained a trusted confidant of prime ministers and a crucial and often daring behind-the-scenes broker in bringing warring factions together. But he is most proud of his later efforts, when he spearheaded major Senate reports on key issues like land claims and on-reserve education. That role reflected St. Germain’s profound determination to help people who are still dealing today with the brutal legacy of residential schools and the paternalistic Indian Act. 2016.By Joe Jackson. 2016
Black Elk, the Native American holy man, is known to millions of readers around the world from his 1932 testimonial,…
"Black Elk Speaks". Cryptic and deeply personal, it has been read as a spiritual guide, a philosophical manifesto, and a text to be deconstructed--while the historical Black Elk has faded from view. Jackson provides the definitive biographical account of a figure whose dramatic life converged with some of the most momentous events in the history of the American West. Born in an era of rising violence, Black Elk killed his first man at Little Big Horn, witnessed the death of his second cousin Crazy Horse, and traveled to Europe with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. Upon his return, he was swept up in the traditionalist Ghost Dance movement and shaken by the massacre at Wounded Knee. But Black Elk was not a warrior and instead chose the path of a healer and holy man, motivated by a powerful prophetic vision that haunted and inspired him, even after he converted to Catholicism in his later years.
