Finding Wholeness: Dr. William Thiele on Contemplative Prayer

Our work as a human family is to not avoid, not deny our brokenness, but to keep getting in touch also with that deeper place of wholeness that I believe practices like mindfulness and contemplative practices help us do so that we keep kind of gathering up that brokenness, bringing it back into the place of our deeper wholeness, and that is very healing.
Imagine a practice that not only calms your mind but also transforms your life. In this episode of 'Whole Body Mental Health Radio', Dr. Jose Calderon-Abbo chats with Dr. William Thiele, the founding director of the School for Contemplative Living. Dr. Thiele brings his rich experience as a psychotherapist and spiritual director to the table, offering insights into the power of contemplative prayer.
Through their conversation, you'll learn how contemplative prayer can be a path to personal transformation and a deeper engagement with the world around you. Dr. Thiele explains how these practices are similar to mindfulness, yet uniquely powerful in gathering up our broken pieces and guiding us towards wholeness. He shares stories from his journey, blending spirituality with therapy to offer a holistic approach to healing.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or simply seeking a more centered life, this episode provides practical advice and heartfelt wisdom. The conversation also touches on how integrating spirituality into therapy can enrich the healing process, especially for those dealing with addiction. Dr. Thiele's gentle approach and profound insights make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to explore the intersection of mental health and spirituality.
Tune in and discover how contemplative prayer might just be the key to unlocking a more fulfilling and engaged life.
