Living with Radical Aliveness

In this 2026 interview with Justine Willis Toms, 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. Moss illuminates the path toward a more intimate, embodied relationship with oneself and the world.

Richard Moss is a physician-turned-teacher and internationally respected pioneer in conscious living, inner transformation, and presence-centered spirituality. He has spent decades guiding individuals and groups worldwide to free themselves from limiting beliefs, awaken radical aliveness, and cultivate conscious, evolving relationships as a path of spiritual growth. He is the author of many books including:

Inside Out Healing: Transforming Your Life Through the Power of Presence (Hay House 2011)

The Second Miracle: Intimacy, Spirituality, and Conscious Relationships (Celestial Arts 1995)

The I That Is We: Awakening to Higher Energies through Unconditional Love (Celestial Arts 1981)
