Spiritual Guidance

Spiritual Guidance is a contemplative practice, a process of accompanying people on a spiritual journey in order to help them live closer to Universe (God). The object of spiritual guidance is to cultivate one’s ability to recognize God’s presence in one’s life — to notice and appreciate moments of holiness, to maintain an awareness of the interconnectedness of all things, to explore ways to be open to the God in challenging and difficult moments as well as in joyful ones. The spiritual guide/ master serves as a companion and witness, someone who helps you (sometimes with questions, sometimes just by listening) to discern God’s presence where you might have missed it and to integrate that awareness into your daily life; your work, study, and prayer.

Here are some things you might explore with a spiritual guidance

• How to connect your inner and outer energies and help you understand the truth of who you are
• How your energy is forming your life now, and how to shift your energy in different ways in order to bring fulfillment.
• What is on your heart right now? Is there a relationship you want to discuss?
• Talk about your faith journey. How has God been present to you throughout your life?
• How is God present to you now?
• What is your image of God and how has it changed over your life?
• What is your prayer life like? Is there some way you want to grow in prayer?
• What scripture passage most speaks to you? What is God saying to you through it?
