Care of the soul in medicine guides 2010 talks

Thomas Moore’s sessions at Hay House’s 2010 I Can Do It! conferences in San Diego (May 16) and Toronto (May 30) flow from his book, Care of the Soul in Medicine: Healing Guidance for Patients, Families, and the People Who Care for Them, to be published by Hay House next April.

According to Hay House, “Through stories from Thomas Moore’s patients, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers, Thomas speaks to the importance of healing a whole person — body, soul, and spirit — a person with emotions, history, family, and work rather than simply treating a body. He gives advice to both healthcare providers and patients for maintaining dignity and humanity during illness and treatment. Providing spiritual guidance for dealing with feelings of mortality and depression, Thomas encourages patients to not only take an active part in the healing process, but also to view illness as a positive passage to new awareness and possibilities for life.”
