To know life is to look at it honestly. Practicing Imperfection is a candid exploration of one person's move from being addicted to praise and perfection to becoming more comfortable in his own skin. Through humor and a healthy dose of sarcasm, Practicing Imperfection shares the journey of Episcopal priest Charles Dupree in developing a consistent, sustainable, meditation practice. Dupree describes how the ancient practice of meditation can bring about a healthier, happier, more awakened existence, and what, for him, has been a healing balm in a busy world and demanding vocation.Drawing from childhood experiences, a recent sabbatical, and the experiences of serving as a parish priest, Dupree examines some of life's larger questions. As an Episcopal priest, he is clearly religious, but also whole-heartedly spiritual. Uniting those seemingly conflicted qualities,he helps us see that we are all looking for the same thing: freedom from that which no longer serves us.In our modern world, it is difficult to carve out the space to examine what is going on in our lives and minds; meditation is a way to create that space. This is a book for people who want to be released from the pressures of being better, smarter, or more successful, and those who want to lighten up and be a fuller participant in life.

La méditation modifie-t-elle notre cerveau ? Des études scientifiques le montrent : les heures de méditation des moines bouddhistes ont un effet sur la structure de leur cerveau, réduisant les zones liées au stress, et stimulant au contraire les zones impliquées dans le contrôle de soi. Mais le débutant peut aussi l'expérimenter: après quelques semaines seulement de pratique, les régions du cerveau impliquées dans l'apprentissage, la mémorisation et le contrôle des émotions sont modifiées. Dans ce livre, James Kingsland s'appuie sur des recherches de pointe pour montrer comment la méditation agit sur le cerveau et pourquoi elle est utile pour atteindre un meilleur bien-être mental et physique. Il propose quelques exercices simples pour s'initier à la pratique méditative.
