Today's Highlight: "Rediscover Your Center, Proclaim Your Joy," with Richard Moss
Suffering is part of life. Many of us have learned that meditation and awareness can help release us from the pain of suffering. Richard Moss has created a map of the ways we lose our awareness and let suffering take hold of our lives. In so doing, he has developed a way to help us find the way back to our center, and the ability to be in the present, so that pain is transformed and we rediscover our compassion-for ourselves, for others, and for the world. True awareness, he says, "transforms our perception of who we are and what we're dealing with, and in that we find that what we're dealing with is no longer suffering. It is something else. It is the very way that we come into a deeper humanity, a more complete humanity, and the natural expression of that humanity is compassionate, empathetic, accepting, forgiving, and trusting." Dr. Moss offers techniques that help will help you retrace your mind's steps back to a gentle relationship with pain, suffering, anger, and self-judgment, so that you can move through your days with greater peace and joy.
Richard Moss, M.D., left the practice of medicine at the age of thirty to alleviate suffering by finding greater spiritual understanding. He is internationally known and respected as a visionary thinker, teacher, and author whose work bridges science, psychology, energy medicine, and spiritual-awareness practices. His books include The Black Butterfly: An Invitation to Radical Aliveness (Celestial Arts 1986), The Second Miracle: Intimacy, Spirituality, and Conscious Relationships (Celestial Arts 1995), and The Mandala of Being: Discovering the Power of Awareness (New World Library 2007)..
