Mindfulness para un duelo consciente. Un libro de gran ayuda para las personas que han perdido a un ser querido y están en proceso de duelo. «El duelo es el proceso por el que se pasa de perder lo que tenemos, a recuperar lo que hemos perdido». En este libro, Lorena Alonso nos brinda el conocimiento y las herramientas necesarias para aprender, en primer lugar, a aceptar la impermanencia de la vida y la inevitabilidad de muerte. Nos explica en detalle qué es un proceso de duelo, sus diferentes fases y distintas aproximaciones, al tiempo que nos acerca a la filosofía del mindfulness y de la compasión budista. Así entenderemos cómo estas pueden ser un revelador instrumento psicoespiritual y de autoconocimiento a la hora de transitar y dar significado al dolor, para caminar hacia la recuperación y el consiguiente crecimiento postraumático tras la pérdida. Para ello, la autora nos propone distintas prácticas meditativas de atención plena para trabajar -de manera consciente, serena, y en el momento presente- aspectos como los pensamientos dañinos, la culpa, la despedida, los asuntos pendientes, la aceptación y los pilares de la serenidad, así como otras necesidades espirituales. Ayudando a los dolientes a tomar consciencia del dolor, para evolucionar y pasar de ser víctimas a observadores activos, a encontrarle un nuevo sentido a la vida y lograr así el bienestar psicológico, tan esencial en la vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Mindfulness for conscious mourning. A very helpful book for those who have lost a loved one and are in the process of grieving. "Grief is the process by which we go from losing what we have to recovering what we have lost." In this book, Lorena Alonso gives us the information and tools necessary to learn to accept the transitoriness of life and the inevitability of death. She explains in detail what a grieving process is, its different phases and different approaches, while bringing us closer to the philosophy of mindfulness and Buddhist compassion. Thus helping us understand how these can be revealing psychospiritual and self-knowledge instruments when it comes to giving meaning to the pain, walking towards recovery, and the subsequent post-traumatic growth after loss. To do this, the author proposes different meditative practices of mindfulness to work on, —consciously, serenely, and in the present moment— aspects such as harmful thoughts, guilt, farewell, pending issues, acceptance, and serenity, as well as other spiritual needs. She helps mourners become aware of the pain, to evolve and go from being victims to active observers, to find a new meaning in life and thus achieve the psychological well-being that is so essential in life.

Newly Reissued New York Times Bestselling Author “Beautiful and heartrending. . . . Memoir, autobiography, epicedium, perhaps even some fiction: they are all here, and they are all quite wonderful.” —Los Angeles Times When Isabel Allende’s daughter, Paula, became gravely ill and fell into a coma, the author began to write the story of her family for her unconscious child. In the telling, bizarre ancestors appear before our eyes; we hear both delightful and bitter childhood memories, amazing anecdotes of youthful years, the most intimate secrets passed along in whispers. With Paula, Allende has written a powerful autobiography whose straightforward acceptance of the magical and spiritual worlds will remind readers of her first book, The House of the Spirits.

From today’s vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Latinx Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Edited by Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez and Norma Cantú. Rooted in Gloria Anzaldúa's experiences growing up near the U.S./Mexico border, BORDERLANDS/LA FRONTERA remaps our understanding of borders as psychic, social, and cultural terrains that we inhabit and that inhabit us all. Drawing heavily on archival research and a comprehensive literature review while contextualizing the book within her theories and writings before and after its 1987 publication, this critical edition elucidates Anzaldúa's complex composition process and its centrality in the development of her philosophy. It opens with two introductory studies; offers a corrected text, explanatory footnotes, translations, and four archival appendices; and closes with an updated bibliography of Anzaldúa's works, an extensive scholarly bibliography on Borderlands, a brief biography, and a short discussion of the Gloria E. Anzaldúa Papers. "Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez's meticulous archival work and Norma Elia Cantú's life experience and expertise converge to offer a stunning resource for Anzaldúa scholars; for writers, artists, and activists inspired by her work; and for everyone. Hereafter, no study of Borderlands will be complete without this beautiful, essential reference."--Paola Bacchetta

Chronic pain costs the nation up to $635 billion each year in medical treatment and lost productivity. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act required the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enlist the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in examining pain as a public health problem. In this report, the IOM offers a blueprint for action in transforming prevention, care, education, and research, with the goal of providing relief for people with pain in America. To reach the vast multitude of people with various types of pain, the nation must adopt a population-level prevention and management strategy. The IOM recommends that HHS develop a comprehensive plan with specific goals, actions, and timeframes. Better data are needed to help shape efforts, especially on the groups of people currently underdiagnosed and undertreated, and the IOM encourages federal and state agencies and private organizations to accelerate the collection of data on pain incidence, prevalence, and treatments. Because pain varies from patient to patient, healthcare providers should increasingly aim at tailoring pain care to each person's experience, and self-management of pain should be promoted. In addition, because there are major gaps in knowledge about pain across health care and society alike, the IOM recommends that federal agencies and other stakeholders redesign education programs to bridge these gaps. Pain is a major driver for visits to physicians, a major reason for taking medications, a major cause of disability, and a key factor in quality of life and productivity. Given the burden of pain in human lives, dollars, and social consequences, relieving pain should be a national priority.
