Richard Moss, M.D., recounts his journey from practicing medicine to teaching the art of conscious living. He emphasizes the essential practice of staying calm and grounded amid fear and uncertainty, drawing from his own transformative experiences—including a life-changing moment in the emergency room and a profound encounter symbolized by a black butterfly. Moss introduces “The Mandala Process,” a powerful tool for observing how the mind drifts into the past and future or falls into judgment of self and others. He teaches the principle of focused spaciousness as the gateway to embodied awareness and distinguishes between emotions, which arise from thought, and feelings, which emerge as trustworthy, embodied guides that keep us connected to the living present. Throughout this conversation, Moss illuminates the path toward a more intimate, embodied relationship with oneself and the world.
