Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction or spiritual companionship exists in all the major religions of the world. In spiritual direction you have an opportunity to slow down and take time to reflect on your experience of life, God's action and grace in your daily routines and discover or re-discover "the more". Spiritual direction helps us explore the spiritual aspect of being human.
Spiritual Direction or spiritual companionship is not about fixing things or doing something perfectly, because it is not about accomplishing the task. It is about allowing things to be as they are, resting in awareness, and then, taking appropriate action when called for.
Silence, deep listening, and non-doing are contemplative practices often explored in spiritual direction as a way to deepen relationship with yourself, the Creator, other people and all creation with compassion and peace.
