Can I share with you how special you are. And one of the ways you are special is that the earth knows it. The ground beneath you knows you, and cherishes you. Don't be alarmed. I'm not off my head. It really makes sense, and this idea opens the door to a sense of being more and more deeply in relationship with the earth we live on. This is the root of what might be called Sacred Space. Sacred space is where we find our deepest connection with the cosmos. And here's the amazing thing; it's where you are standing right now. Join my podcast on Patreon.com

This is part one of a two part reflection on the fundamental preliminary teaching in Tibetan Buddhism - The precious of human life. The second preliminary is that all actions have consequences. These two ideas together are the foundational ground of all teachings. And they make total sense in terms of the Christian remembrance of all souls in November. So I put the two together this week, and I've also made a plea for subscribers. If you get these podcasts on platforms where they are free, and you can afford to subscribe please go to Patreon.com/ Michael `Harding and make a subscription which will help the podcast continue and will also help those who can't afford to pay. You are supporting me, and you are supporting people who want to listen for free by your subscription. So thank you for that and enjoy the podcast. Join my podcast on Patreon.com

There's a spider that makes an appearance at the beginning of this, and it led me to think about non-violence, and by the end of the meditation I was back with Yeshua, and I'm particular that dark night when he was approached by Nicodemus, an affluent chap who had a few questions for the Rabbi. But in essence it's another meditation on being in the present moment and how religious practises, whether they be Christian or Buddhist or something else, have a propensity to generate happiness. I hope you like this small song in praise of religious faith on this the Feast of All Saints. Join my podcast on Patreon.com

The end of October is a midway point between the Autumn equinox and mid Winter. It's the beginning of our Celtic winter time. From now until St Brigid's day I wish you a journey of peace and joy and happiness. That you may find it all in the icons of your faith, the imprints of your loved ones that linger in your heart. There is no more wonderful time of year that this coming month of twilight and remembrance. I hope you enjoy Join my podcast on Patreon.com

This was an important podcast and I was very pleased with it and dropped it last week, late on Friday night after doing a public event in Nenagh Arts Centre. But it seems I pressed a wrong button and dropped the previous podcast. So you've got the same podcast last Friday as went out the previous Friday. Someone of course brought it to my attention and I am grateful for that. (I'm not great on the technical side of things.) ........................so now.........here's the real podcast from last Friday. Hope you enjoy. Blessings. Michael. Join my podcast on Patreon.com

An amazing week for me, in Cork, Nenagh and next Tuesday in Galway, launching the book. I loved him from the day he died. And here is what is in my heart at this moment. I hope you enjoy. Join my podcast on Patreon.com

My sore tooth and a story about the general and the purification of you tube
My sore tooth, the purification of the television, and how I nearly decapitated my teacher are all jumbled up here in an over excited author on the eve of the book launch. Hope you enjoy this meditation which is ultimately about actions and consequences, or karma as they say in Cavan, and hope you find a copy of the book next week in your bookshop.

I know it's a strange chain of thoughts but such are the ways of my mind. I drift from fun to a place of peace all the time, as simple as a berry falling into the pool. Because everything is the one thing. It's all gravity, or the love of electrons for what they are attached to. In this episode I talk at the latter end about the cosmos being like the murmuration of starlings. It's an idea I got from a monk who lived in the 3rd century. I forget his name but that too is ok. My new book is coming out on October 10. Stay with the podcast to keep up to date on events. Thanks for your support.

I use some columns here to discuss what bits of craft I use to write. It's all about story and story is all about one sentence after another. So here I delve into the sentences, and the images, and it may all sound a bit mad, but then that's the storytellers craft. Whether you're into writing or reading or none of those, I still. hope you like it and enjoy the way I reveal how a column gets written every week for The Irish Times. Thanks for being here.

Why would I say that religion still matters to me. Why do I cling to religious faith. I've thought about these questions today. and happily I came up with some answers.
Find the door to the room where he lives. Find where the Presence that is beyond you is waiting for you. Religion is the boat, and it offers a passage way towards Transcendence for the mind.
Is it delusional or true or real. Who knows. But I'm my experience it brings me peace. And it feels very very human and natural.

I have a new book coming out in October. I was in Dublin recording the audio this week. And I was so busy with all those worldly things that I needed some quiet time. So did I find a convent door? No. It found me. Sometimes life happens. Things unfold. It's very reassuring. Join my podcast on Patreon.com

I'm in Clane on Saturday August 31 in the Suaimhneas Centre. Here's what they publicity people say -
Michael will come and speak to us about his life and work and all things faith, prayer and spirituality from his broad perspective.
The event will commence in The Suaimhneas Centre, Main Street, Clane at 10.30am and BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL.
So I thought I'd do a very quiet and slightly shorter reflection today, on the eve of the talk and maybe on Sunday I'll post a further report about how it went and what I talked about.

I'm enjoying working on these mediations in the days after easter, and will be walking the camino from Tui to Santiago between April 27 and May 5. What does it mean that I am here. What does it mean that you are here. What does it mean if the clock ticks or doesn't tick.
Let's explore that today. My walk on the Camino will coincide with the Orthodox period of Holy Week. Looking forward to it. Might send you random dispatches on the road.

This is a day we carry with us. We can enter this moment at anytime of the day or season. Good Friday is a psychic space. And the core of it is Holy Thursday. Holy Thursday is a ritual that presents us with the architecture of heaven. The full realisation of divine light in a single moment, a single tiny ritual. That's the floor and ground of Good Friday. Taken together they are a marking of exquisite human truth and beauty. Use it like a well that we can return to again and again, especially in times of sorrow. Join my podcast on Patreon.com

First there was the story of how I became a writer. And then the story of why I became a full time writer. And who were some of the people who really helped and changed my life by having confidence in me.
I didn’t believe I could even be a writer, so it’s amazing that I’m now in my 409th year of full time writing and still surviving.
But talking about how these two people changed my life by having confidence3 in me brought me to think of young people nowadays and
I just wanted to add something about young people. To say how I believe in them. How praising them works, even if they’re not quite doing what you want them to do. It’s. A matter of trusting in the future, that all will be well. And that is very like trusting in god.

This could be the worst or best podcast I have ever done. I don’t know. Because it’s almost impossible to talk about this mystery of prayer. What is it. What is happening in prayer. Why is it different from meditation.
And yet for some reason I wanted to share this today. Maybe because I heard a story about Daniel O Donnell giving a rosary beads to Charlie Bird at the late late show. It was Daniel told it on radio during the week. And it just got me all excited about the Rosary and I thought I’d like to share my muddled thoughts with you.
So if it makes any sense to you that’s grand. And if not, don’t worry and be assured I’ll be onto more concrete territory next week. Next week I’ll be talking about Blindboy and Lough Derg.
One way or another thank you once again for being here, for being present, and have a special Patrick’s Day.

Was at an amazing event, a beautiful evening last night, about mental well being and just wanted to share it. And I was in the middle of writing a piece about a man who had a great influence on me when I was young. so this morning I put both together to make this podcast which I'm very very happy to share with you.
