Other Anamcara Definitions

Anam Cara, Irish for "soul friend," and as the great Irish poet and philosopher, John O'Donaghue wrote, "Anam Cara's understand where you are coming from and understanding is precious; where you are understood you are at home.

From speech by the then Taoiseach, Mr. Bertie Ahern, TD.

--------------------------

In Celtic Spirituality, the Anam Cara friendship awakens the fullness and mystery of you life. You are joined in an ancient and eternal union with humanity that cuts across all barriers of time, convention, philosophy, and definition

----------------------

To be a soul friend (Anam Cara) is to provide a place of sanctuary to another where, through our acceptance, love, and hospitality, he or she can grow in wisdom, and both of us in depth.

John O'Donohue:

Embracing Beauty

In our busy, goal-oriented society we often think of beauty as a luxury. Like so many things that bring us joy-imagination, intimate conversation, moments of silence-we treasure it when it appears, then hurry on to more important tasks.

John O'Donohue:

Speaking The Subtle Language Of The Soul

If any growth is going to happen in the spiritual area," says John O'Donohue, "you need a bit of stillness, a bit of silence; then there can be a return, and a retrieval, and a reawakening."

He reminds us that we don't have to journey far to find wisdom: "If you are true to yourself and if you let yourself alone, you will receive all that you need."

The Radiance of Courage

A man of peace is not a pacifist; a man of peace is simply a pool of silence. He pulsates a new kind of energy into the world, he sings a new song. He lives in a totally new way his very way of live is that of grace, that of prayer, that of compassion

Anam Cara Blessing

" May the light of your soul guide you.
May the light of your soul bless the work you do with the secret love and warmth in your heart.

May you see in what you do the beauty of your own soul.
May the sacredness of your work bring healing, light, and renewal to those who work with you and to those who see and receive your work.

May your work never weary you.
May it release within you wellsprings of refreshment, inspiration, and excitement.
May you be present in what you do.
May you never become lost in the bland absences.

May the day never burden.
May dawn find you awake and alert, approaching your new day with dreams, possibilities, and promises.

May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.
May you go into the night blessed, sheltered, and protected.
May your soul calm, console, and renew you.

John O'Donohue

The meaning of Anam cara is Soul Friend - Anam = Soul and Cara = Friend. An Anam cara offers spiritual direction. This includes the invitation to the awakening of your emotional body/mind/soul.

John O'Donaghue the Irish poet writing in

Anamcara:

Wisdom from the Celtic World

says,

With the Anam Cara you could share your innermost self, your mind and your heart. This friendship was an act of recognition and belonging. When you had an Anam Cara, your friend-hip cut across all convention. In everyone's life there is a great need for an Anam Cara, the superficial and functional lies and half truths of acquaintance fall away, with them you can be as you really are.
