Michael Harding episodes:

November 01, 2024 Nicodemus and the Spider
There's a spider that makes an appearance at the beginning of this, and it led me to think about non-violence, and by the end of the meditation I was back with Yeshua, and I'm particular that dark night when he was approached by Nicodemus, an affluent chap who had a few questions for the Rabbi. But in essence it's another meditation on being in the present moment and how religious practises, whether they be Christian or Buddhist or something else, have a propensity to generate happiness. I hope you like this small song in praise of religious faith on this the Feast of All Saints.

October 25, 2024 Icons and Imprints in the month of November
The end of October is a midway point between the Autumn equinox and mid Winter. It's the beginning of our Celtic winter time. From now until St Brigid's day I wish you a journey of peace and joy and happiness. That you may find it all in the icons of your faith, the imprints of your loved ones that linger in your heart. There is no more wonderful time of year that this coming month of twilight and remembrance. I hope you enjoy

October 15, 2024 Narratives that Divide
This was an important podcast and I was very pleased with it and dropped it last week, late on Friday night after doing a public event in Nenagh Arts Centre. But it seems I pressed a wrong button and dropped the previous podcast. So you've got the same podcast last Friday as went out the previous Friday. Someone of course brought it to my attention and I am grateful for that. (I'm not great on the technical side of things.) ........................so now.........here's the real podcast from last Friday. Hope you enjoy. Blessings. Michael.

October 04, 2024 My sore tooth and a story about the general and the purification of you tube
My sore tooth and a story about the general and the purification of you tube

My sore tooth, the purification of the television, and how I nearly decapitated my teacher are all jumbled up here in an over excited author on the eve of the book launch. Hope you enjoy this meditation which is ultimately about actions and consequences, or karma as they say in Cavan, and hope you find a copy of the book next week in your bookshop.

September 28, 2024 Whiskey, Underwear and the Cosmic Christ
I know it's a strange chain of thoughts but such are the ways of my mind. I drift from fun to a place of peace all the time, as simple as a berry falling into the pool. Because everything is the one thing. It's all gravity, or the love of electrons for what they are attached to. In this episode I talk at the latter end about the cosmos being like the murmuration of starlings. It's an idea I got from a monk who lived in the 3rd century. I forget his name but that too is ok. My new book is coming out on October 10. Stay with the podcast to keep up to date on events. Thanks for your support.

September 20, 2024 Something very different today - the art of writing
I use some columns here to discuss what bits of craft I use to write. It's all about story and story is all about one sentence after another. So here I delve into the sentences, and the images, and it may all sound a bit mad, but then that's the storytellers craft. Whether you're into writing or reading or none of those, I still. hope you like it and enjoy the way I reveal how a column gets written every week for The Irish Times. Thanks for being here.

September 13, 2024 Why would I say that religion still matters to me.
Why would I say that religion still matters to me. Why do I cling to religious faith. I've thought about these questions today. and happily I came up with some answers.
Find the door to the room where he lives. Find where the Presence that is beyond you is waiting for you. Religion is the boat, and it offers a passage way towards Transcendence for the mind.
Is it delusional or true or real. Who knows. But I'm my experience it brings me peace. And it feels very very human and natural.

September 06, 2024 The Gates of the Convent, the Door of the Heart, and the Joy in the Shadows.
I have a new book coming out in October. I was in Dublin recording the audio this week. And I was so busy with all those worldly things that I needed some quiet time. So did I find a convent door? No. It found me. Sometimes life happens. Things unfold. It's very reassuring.

August 30, 2024 A very Still moment at the end of August
I'm in Clane on Saturday August 31 in the Suaimhneas Centre. Here's what they publicity people say -
Michael will come and speak to us about his life and work and all things faith, prayer and spirituality from his broad perspective.
The event will commence in The Suaimhneas Centre, Main Street, Clane at 10.30am and BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL.
So I thought I'd do a very quiet and slightly shorter reflection today, on the eve of the talk and maybe on Sunday I'll post a further report about how it went and what I talked about.
