For thirty years, Richard Moss has guided people of diverse backgrounds in the use of the power of awareness to realize their intrinsic wholeness and reclaim the wisdom of their true self. In his newly released book, "The Mandala of Being: Discovering the Power of Awareness", Richard uses the simple diagram called a mandala to illustrate the four places we go when we feel threatened, uncomfortable, or aren't fully centered or grounded in the present moment ~ the past, the future, the subject (ourselves) and the object (everthing else). Once we understand these patterns, we are no longer doomed to repeat them. Living on Purpose host Lynn Thompson explores these concepts with author Richard Moss in this phone conversation recorded "live" at CHLY studio in Nanaimo, B.C. on March 20, 2007.
