EP 5.5: 20-minute introduction to Centering Prayer: Father Nicholas Amato

Father Nicholas Amato is 80-years old and runs three miles a day and walk another 15,000 steps. After talking with Ftr. Amato for a short while, you get the impression that he is just about the wellest person you'll ever meet.  If you like Richard Rohr and Cynthia Bourgeois, you will love Ftr. Amato. He is like a cross between Thomas Keating and a fitness coach. We talk about “the four legs” of the table of wellness practice, dreaming big and thinking small, tips on how to stay awake during contemplation and the differences between chasing happiness and waking up to joy. The interview ends with a ten minute breathing exercise and 5 minutes of sitting silently in God’s presence. Links to Father Amato's books Living in God: Contemplative Prayer and Contemplative Action and Happiness and Joy: Can the Spiritual Life have Both?
