Individual Spiritual Guidance
There are times in your life when talking to a spiritual guide, someone formally trained in spiritual direction, can help you discern where you are on your path and perhaps where life is taking you next.
You may be searching for authenticity – a path that reflects your spiritual “style”, forming the foundation to address your most important questions, and steering you toward relevant teachers and practices.
You may be in a time of transition – a career change, an illness, a loss, a shift in family dynamics, retirement, etc. Or you may wish to explore a spiritual experience of some sort, perhaps something that left you curious, questioning, or in awe.
Spiritual guidance can be helpful in any of those circumstances. Be aware, however, that the process does not provide answers for you. Instead, you are gently directed to find your own.
A guide provides deep listening so that you are able to express what’s on your heart and mind without interruption or judgement. For many, this is a gift not often found in daily life. It allows you to hear your Inner Voice with greater clarity.
Along with listening, a guide mirrors the divine wisdom that she notices emerging within you. Offered together, they can elicit insights that help you discover for yourself where you are being led.
Individual spiritual direction typically involves a private meeting – by video conference –about once a month for an hour. The session usually begins with a brief contemplative practice to center the guide and client and help them feel fully present with one another.
The client then shares whatever is going on in his or her life that is of spiritual significance. Together, the guide and client explore where a Higher Power (whatever that is perceived to be) may be present in the circumstance and what the invitation may be to the person going forward.
Spiritual guidance is a wonderful way to become more aware of the Divine’s presence and movements within your experiences, to savor that for which you are most grateful, and to foster discernment around your important life challenges and choices.
