In this podcast I talk to Tom Schmidt, a university Chaplain Coordinator. Tom studied theology, and sheds light on how spirituality influences one’s mental health. We discuss a contemplative meditation practice, Lectio Divina and the role of spirituality in mental wellbeing.
Tom takes us through a perspective shift, highlighting the function of faith in one’s sense of self, and purposefulness in life. Together, we discuss how various other wisdom traditions informs our spirituality and subsequently mental health.
Tom insightfully uses various metaphors to illuminate topics of:
- The spiritual practice of Lectio Divina
- Bargaining with God as a result of purely dogmatic spiritual practice
- The concept of Wholeness
- The function of Wholeness
- Relationships with self and the divine
- Science and Faith
