This month, we are graced with longtime advocate for conscious living, Thomas Moore. His recently published Soul Therapy: The Art and Craft of Caring Conversations was scribed to fill the need for “more therapeutic conversations in all areas of life, and my book is for the ordinary person, as well as the professional therapist,” Moore shares. Writer Marlaina Donato asks the author and Jungian-based psychotherapist, what gives him hope for humanity. Read the response in the article, Thomas Moore on the Art of Soulful Listening—a key healing step for mankind.

 

“Adaptogens are plants that keep the body in balance by helping it adapt to stress. They interact with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, a complex system of glands, hormones and receptors that helps manage homeostasis, stress responses and energy metabolism.” They also boost immunity.

In Circles of Healing:Gathering in Community, Senior Staff Writer Linda Sechrist broaches how nature-focused healing might be found in local circles of connection.

As to the benefit of the circles, “Having experiences of fellowship and communion with like-minded people can make it possible to observe and understand how ego and mind function, and to become aware of crippling social programming which fragments, separates and divides us” so that we may wholly heal for true Peace, Joy and ongoing Happiness.

 

As always, with an open heart, an open mind and the yearn to learn, I hope you enjoy reading on.
