On the 66th episode of the What is a Good Life? podcast, I am delighted to introduce our guest, Thomas Moore. Thomas is the author of the #1 New York Times Best Seller, Care of the Soul. Since then, he has written thirty books on matters of soul and spirit. His most recent book is The Eloquence of Silence. He lectures in many parts of the world and is also a psychotherapist influenced mainly by C. G. Jung and James Hillman, his close friend for four decades. He has won many awards, including an honorary doctorate from Lesley University and the 2003 Humanitarian Award from Einstein Medical School.In this episode, Thomas shares his journey from spending 13 years studying to be a priest, to being a lecturer and professor before becoming a psychotherapist and a prolific and bestselling author. At each moment he made a significant life change, he felt fully led by his daemon (an inner, guiding spirit or urge) to help him make considerable decisions with unwavering conviction. Throughout this conversation, Thomas shares many important insights and anecdotes for living a more connected and aligned life with our inner wisdom and soul.There is so much to glean from this episode regarding how we live our lives, how we make significant decisions, embrace pivotal moments, and perhaps it suggests a life philosophy that could steer you away from trying to figure out every conceivable scenario before committing to your next major change.Subscribe for weekly episodes, every Tuesday, and check out my YouTube channel (link below) for clips and shorts.For further content and information check out the following:- Thomas' latest book: The Eloquence of Silence- Thomas' Website: https://www.thomasmooresoul.com/- For the podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/Contact me at mark@whatisagood.life to book a free consultation (30 minutes) for one-on-one coaching programs, leadership coaching programs to build trust and connection amongst executive teams or silent retreats for executive teams.Running Order:02:37 Podcast begins04:27 Responding to big urges and opportunities 09:50 A feeling of certainty beyond our logic14:52 Practicing engagement with our daemon19:57 Seeing life more poetically25:42 Thomas' friendship with Hillman28:39 Leaving life as a lecturer32:02 Starting life as a therapist and writer35:05 Experiencing the success of Care of the Soul38:57 The influence of Samuel Beckett and silence43:47 The role of image in a life of soul48:47 Humour and not holding it all too tightly53:02 The lack of emptiness in our society58:13 What is a good life for Thomas?

In recent years, Reiki has been introduced into hospice care, soothing the emotional and physical discomforts of transition, and it has been accepted as a mode of alternative healing to support many patients in oncology wards throughout several hospitals. This beautiful modality is growing rapidly because of its simplicity and powerful effectiveness. So what happens when Reiki meets the medical world in a more supportive way? We have an opportunity to amplify the understanding of healing mind, body and emotion – the full range of our beingness, not discounting the way our energy supports the harmonization of physical and emotional healing. Healing, in of itself, becomes understood in new ways… Raven Keyes, CMRM, RMT, founder of Raven Keyes Medical Reiki International (aka RKMRI Medical Reiki ™), has worked extensively in surgeries and trains Reiki Masters throughout the world in how to safely and unobtrusively provide Reiki in operating rooms and other medical venues.

What if no particular religion speaks to you, or if all religions have some relevance for you (pluralism)? How could you honor and embrace the merits of following a religion, but have the freedom to pursue your own spirituality by yourself? Join CJ Liu as she interviews Thomas Moore-spiritual writer and NY Times best-selling author of the spiritual classic “Care of the Soul” about his newest book, A Religion of One’s Own: A Guide to Creating a Personal Spirituality in a Secular World.” Blog Post By Our Guest: A RELIGION OF ONE’S OWN A number of years ago Marianne Williamson asked me to write a chapter on the future of religion for a book she was editing. I tried, but at that time I wasn’t ready to tackle the question. Now I am. I see the world heading for a completely secular approach to life, which is to say soulless, which is to say disaster. We need a new way to be religious, a really new way. A way that honors the traditions of the past but moves on. To give you a taste of the new book, I’ve summarized its main points in a list of ten ways you can make a religion of your own. In the book I go into specifics on how to do these things. This is just a list. 1. MEDITATE: Learn a formal way of meditating, or be contemplative in nature, alone, at work, or at home. 2. LIVE ETHICALLY: Do no harm and make your life a positive contribution to humanity. Work ethically for ethical companies or organizations. Change work if necessary. At least, stay on track toward a highly moral life work. 3. LIVE RESPONSIVELY. Read the signs for who you are to be and what you are to do. 4. HAVE A DREAM PRACTICE. Dreams give you strong hints about what’s going on and how you can adjust. Without them you have no guidance but your own consciousness, which is too limited. 5. BE A MYSTIC. Expand your sense of self through art and wonder. Achieve special states of awareness. Have a greater sense of self through losing yourself. 6. BE INTIMATE WITH NATURE. Especially take daily note of the sky: sun and moon, clouds, weather, planets, stars. Learn from animals. Be astonished by geology and plant life. 7. BE A MONK OR A MONKESS. Adapt monasticism of any variety to your daily life and to the world in which you live. Spend time carefully. Read deeply. Study. Honor the book, good food and community. 8. AIM FOR BLISS. Not superficial happiness or possessions or wealth. Not entertainment. But bliss: knowing you are in the right place and doing what you are meant to do. 9. DEVELOP A PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY OF LIFE. Think about your life. Work out some principles for yourself. Don’t follow the crowd. Take the road less taken, the narrow gate, the path you see behind you. 10. LEARN FROM THE WORLD’S RELIGIONS AND SPIRITUAL TRADITIONS. You don’t have to join or believe. Find insights and methods and beautiful expressions and images. Don’t separate secular from sacred. Make your own collection of truths and art works.
