The book is a must read for therapist, teacher, religious practitioner and layperson. It provides a contemplative exploration and exposition of the essential connectivity of the paths of life and soul. The book is informed by deep research and mindfulness that engender focus on the inner self.
Dr. Thomas offers a refreshing insight into the reality of the connection between our humanity and our spirituality in a world dominated by materialism—“There is a path towards selfhood where the soul urges to be acknowledged”— a clear message that this connection is an imperative in self growth.
The author’s Helsinki discussions with Professor Matti Huttunen identify professional and personal experiences with “the significance of trauma to our ‘path’ in life”. They reflect how a sense of connection between the path of the body and spirituality—the path of the soul— can emerge through experiencing extreme events which challenge the meaning of life.
There is a rich exploration of the spiritualism of the middle ages in identifying how ma-terialism has impacted contemporary life and our understanding of the whole self. There is a realistic portrayal how life’s journey, without awareness of the body-soul relationship can deepen the impact of depression, anxiety and anger. The author constructively identi-fies how therapy is ‘another way of learning’ through collaborating with patients in getting in touch with their spiritual resources/reality.
Dr. Thomas emphasises that the essential life-long learning and action that strengthen the mind-soul relationship can only be achieved “through meditation, mindfulness and contemplative prayer”. The latter emerges through Dr. Thomas’ deep exploration and well reasoned discussion that will challenge readers to move away from a materialism that has replaced the soul-mind understanding evident in pre-Renaissance life.
