The Best Ecumenical Retreat Guide with Father Thomas Ryan
Born and raised in southern Minnesota, Father Thomas Ryan did his graduate studies in theology at the Washington, D.C., Theological Union and the University of Geneva. He was ordained a Paulist in 1975, and served in campus ministry at the Ohio State University in Columbus and at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, prior to directing the Montreal-based Canadian Centre for Ecumenism for 14 years and working in all 10 provinces of Canada.
In his books he mentioned the following important tips for people:
- The concepts connected with yoga and compare them to Christian beliefs in a very insightful way that I found immensely helpful. He explores the concepts of reincarnation, kundalini energy, chakras and astral bodies and contrasts them with Christian convictions about death and resurrection, and the goal of meditation-prayer for Christians: communion and even union with God.
- The reality of prayer and meditation for your own spiritual practice: like cues during the day that can call you to take an idle moment and focus it in some deep prayerful breathing, times of tension or discouragement or tiredness or boredom that can be your moment to breathe the Breath of Life again.
- The power of enhancements for both physical strength and the body/mind connection in order to reduce the effects of fibromyalgia.
- The concepts abbreviated history of meditation in various religious disciplines. By using yoga as a valid part of the meditative process that is very sane and doable for the novice to rejuvenate your mind and mental power.
