In our fascinating conversation today, Dr. Lerita Coleman Brown, PhD shares with us how she began the preparation for a heart-transplant, through a dialogue of active imagination by speaking to her dying heart. By undergoing this Jungian (Dr Carl Jung) psychological exercise suggested by her therapist, she comes to huge spiritual insights and radical transformation. Through her story we see how all our hearts have wisdom, if we are ready to listen.

Our discussion also ventures into areas about healing, silence, and her engagement with the study of the life of Dr Howard Thurman.

Thanks to Mary Mrozowski, Thomas Keating, and Cynthia Bourgeault there are ways and helpful embodied spiritual practice to be unflappable in the struggles of life and in the face of injustice and yet grounded to reality while being sustained in mind, body, and soul for the long haul.

In her book Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening, Cynthia Bourguealt speaks to the three kinds of awareness. In this Soul School Lesson (129) and a reading and reflection of an excerpt of this book, we will discover how our visceral ordinary awareness can be trained so our self reference is not plagued by a sense of isolation and anxiety.

This short episode also covers the topics of focus, awareness, anxiety, training, and deepening into a richer life of the spirit and soul.
