Inhaltsangabe

Cultivar lo profundo y lo sagrado en la vida cotidianaUno de los libros más significativos de la época, cuyo autor, Thomas Moore, goza del prestigio de los grandes maestros espirituales.Para Moore, el gran mal de nuestro tiempo es la ?perdida del alma?, que se manifiesta en forma de vacío, depresión, desilusión respecto al matrimonio o las relaciones. Pero cuidar el alma no consiste en buscar una existencia ideal, libre de problemas, sino en permanecer en el presente, cerca de la vida tal como se presenta, otorgando un espacio a la espiritualidad mediante el ritual y la belleza. El alma está hecha tanto de luz como de sombras, y sólo cuando aceptamos esta realidad nos acercamos a su verdadera naturaleza, llena de misterio. El cuidado del alma ofrece un programa único para colocar el alma en el centro de la vida y ahondar en sus secretos a través de la mitología, las bellas artes o los sueños. Una pequeña joya a caballo entre el consejo psicológico y la orientación espiritual, que ha hecho despertado el alma de millones de personas en todo el mundo y que ahora recuperamos en una cuidada edición.

Über diesen Titel

Contraportada:

The act of entering into the mysteries of the soul, without sentimentality or pessimism, encourages life to blossom forth according to its own designs and with its own unpredictable beauty. Care of the soul is not solving the puzzle of life; quite the opposite, it is an appreciation of the paradoxical mysteries that blend light and darkness into the grandeur of what human life and culture can be. Care of the soul begins with observance of how the soul manifests itself and how it operates. We can't care for the soul unless we are familiar with its ways. Observance is a word from ritual and religion. It means to watch out for but also to keep and honor, as in the observance of a holiday. The -serve- in observance originally referred to tending sheep. Observing the soul, we keep an eye on its sheep, on whatever is wandering and grazing -- the latest addiction, a striking dream, or a troubling mood.
Everyone knows that the foods we eat come from ourselves or from someone else who cultivates the soil and produces food for our plate. We cannot live without cultivating food for our plate. But what about cultivating our soul? Can we live without cultivating our soil?
Thomas Moore is the author of the bestselling book Care of the Soul and fifteen other books on deepening spirituality and cultivating soul in every aspect of life. He has been a monk, a musician, a university professor, and a psychotherapist, and today he lectures widely on holistic medicine, spirituality, psychotherapy, and the arts. He lectures frequently in Ireland and has a special love of Irish culture. He has Ph. D. in religion from Syracuse University and has won several awards for his work, including an honorary doctorate from Lesley University and the Humanitarian Award from Einstein Medical School of Yeshiva University.
