    Least Resistance

    Contemplation is all about cultivating a relationship with the Divine, and relationship is inherently vulnerable. It’s not surprising then that when we set out to cultivate this most unique of relationships that we find ourselves putting up defenses—resisting the process of deepening our encounter with God. But even our resistance proves to be a great resource in opening our hearts in prayer.

    Divine Therapy

    In this two-part episode, Thomas offers guidance on trauma-sensitive practice. Any time we practice meditation or prayer that goes beyond the thinking mind, it can create an environment where intense experiences arise in the body. Which leads to part II, the Divine Therapy. We can learn to trust this purification process and be healed through our prayers beyond what we ever imagined was possible. Ultimately, God invites us not only to heal through prayer, but to become healers ourselves as we learn to bear one another’s burdens. Upcoming workshop: Thomas will be in Salt Lake City May 15-17 to guide students in embodied practice, meditation and all sorts of surprises! Scholarships and financial aid always available.

    Your Body as Prayer

    In a world where the mind and body are too often split, not only do we do a lot of talking in our prayers, but we forget what a vital instrument the body is in our prayer life. In reality, we can’t pray without the body. Our body IS prayer. In this episode, you’ll learn to “ride the waves” of the body’s knowing into deeper communion with the Divine. Welcome to One Heart, One Mind, One Body. Upcoming workshop: Thomas will be in Salt Lake City May 15-17 to guide students through practices from his recent book, At-One-Ment. Scholarships and financial aid always available.

    Episode 2: The Prayer of Quiet

    It’s not uncommon for people who have been praying their whole lives to hit dry spells and even to wonder if anything worthwhile is happening when they pray. In this episode, Thomas explains how too much talking can drown out the “prayer of quiet,” which promises to take us to new depths in our relationship with the Divine. Upcoming workshop: Thomas will be in Salt Lake City May 15-17 to guide students through practices from his recent book, At-One-Ment. Scholarships and financial aid always available.

    Episode 25: The Preciousness of Death

    You’ve heard something like this before—without death, we could never know the preciousness of life. When a loved one falls ill, suddenly our relationship with them is imbued with an entirely new quality. But what happens when the loved one who falls ill isn’t human? What if it’s a lake whose life we mourn? In this season finale, Thomas shares about a close friend of his who initiated him in death, and Great Salt Lake, who is now in dangerous decline. He invites us all to reconsider what personhood is, and what it might mean to open our hearts to the lands that sustain us.
