Une femme chinoise partage les sentiments de 'cimetière' méditation avec les autres après avoir couché dans un tombeau 'terre' au cours d'un rituel peu commun pour aider les divorcés faire face
A Chinese woman shares feelings of 'graveyard meditation' with others after lying in an earthy 'tomb' during an unusual ritual to help divorcees cope with their marriage failure in the outskirts of Chongqing, China, 20 February 2017. Don't let these graveyard images alarm you. The women pictured aren't dead but in fact taking part in an unusual ritual to help them cope with divorce. In the outskirts of Chongqing, a city in southwestern China, divorcees apparently lay in earthy 'tombs' to meditate. Photographs show the practice in full swing, with women seemingly sleeping in soily dug-outs lined with plastic sheeting. They appear to be lost in thought as they lay with their eyes closed and their hands in a prayer position. However, one woman seems to be in a state of great distress during the ceremonial act and she is seen crying with her fists in the air. Hopefully sometime in the makeshift tomb will help distinguish her grief. The act of 'graveyard meditation' was launched by Liu Taijie. The 30-year-old woman wanted to help other women suffering from depression and divorce after battling through hardships herself. Ms Liu went through a painful divorce in 2015. She got married when she was 19 years old and had her first child when she was 21. In 2014, she started her own business, but it failed, which had also led to her divorce.
