Soul Mates: Honouring the mysteries of love and relationship

An audio for people concerned with love and issues of intimacy written and recorded by Thomas Moore, the author of the bestselling Care of The Soul. Moore speaks from an extensive background in Jungian therapy and spiritual work and offers refreshing perspectives to what can so often be handled as a quick-fix subject. Akin to John Gray’s Men and Women in Relationships, this audio will appeal to those who want to nurture and nourish relationships with others and with oneself. Audio offers an ideal format for this type of soul work in that it is devised for repeat listening thus offering an opportunity to nurture and inspire.

A companion volume to the bestseller 'Care of the Soul', this new title from Thomas Moore explores how relationships of all kinds – with all their difficulties – deepen our lives and help fulfil the needs of the soul.

The soul thrives under certain conditions, especially intimacy, attachment and involvement. In 'Soul Mates', Moore shows how the need to love and to connect with others leads inevitably not only into intimacy but also into many kinds of difficulty – even failure. But he emphasises that if we are willing to live through these difficulties, life is enriched and the soul thrives.

'Soul-intimacy' can be cultivated in unexpected ways, and can deepen through sexuality and jealously, relationships that have gone stale and the pain of endings. For insight he appeals to figures such as Emily Dickinson and Black Elk and Sufi poets among others, all of whom recognised intimacy as a matter of soul rather than interpersonal dynamics.

THOMAS MOORE is a psychotherapist and writer who lived as a monk in Catholic religious order for 12 years. He has published many articles in the areas of archetypal and Jungian psychology, mythology and the arts. He is also a leading lecturer and writer in North America and Europe.
