Wow. I'm not saying I understood all of it...
Heavy but thought provoking read. The practical sessions where not actually very practical after about the second one - rapidly progressing to concepts I suspect lifetime practioners might have trouble with.
The concepts where well researched and quite engaging, and left me with a strong desire to try more introspective research of my own.

I’m interested in learning to lucid dream, but found out too late that this author asserts that for better to lucid dream we need to be an expert at an obscure form of meditation called Shamatha.
I should have paid more attention to the text on the front of the book which includes the phrase “Tibetan Dream Yoga”, but I didn’t.
The first chapter deals with what the author calls Meditative Quiescence - laying the foundation for lucidity, but since other lucid dreaming authors do not prioritize this nor even mention it, I feel of course it must be possible to learn to lucid dream without this particular approach or preparation.
I am at this point not ready to tackle the challenging practice of Shamatha, so I never got to the chapters about lucid dreaming.
Those who do find dream yoga appealing will probably find the book exciting and rewarding, but I do not belong to this category. Such people may well feel that the book warrants 5 stars, but my subjective view of the book has led me to award it only 2.
It seems to deal more with dream yoga, spiritual awakening and Buddhism than anything else.… (más)

> LA FORCE DE L’ATTENTION, de Dr Alan B. Wallace - (2023 - Le Relié - 300 p. - 18 € ). — Pour lutter contre l’inattention chronique, devenue la norme de notre vie actuelle faite de zapping et de surcharges émotionnelles, le psychiatre Alan Wallace explore, en dix étapes, les méandres de l’esprit pour développer nos facultés de concentration ! Se fondant sur sa vaste expérience, il nous fait découvrir de nouveaux espaces de vigilance, de bienveillance et de clarté à l’aide de techniques orientales adaptées à notre monde moderne. Daniel Goleman souligne que ce livre indispensable détaille avec une remarquable précision les méthodes pouvant renforcer ce qu’il appelle « le muscle de l’attention ».
