A Service of Blythe Spirit LLC Spiritual Direction is the art of examining your life
for the energy and presence of God.
It is a "long, loving look at the real." A spiritual director can help you with that look, providing support and encouragement as you walk your life's journey. Spiritual direction is an ancient discipline traced back to the early days of the Christian church when holy men and women--upset with the way Christianity was being institutionalized around power--withdrew to the deserts of the Middle East to seek God's wisdom. People followed these desert fathers and mothers into the wilderness, meeting with them in caves and other tiny spaces, asking them for spiritual guidance. The practice of noticing God's presence in our lives is experiencing a revival today. Spiritual directors rarely work in caves anymore, although many lead "quieter than usual" lives. And while we pursue holiness in all of life, we don't see ourselves as particularly holier than others. Our deep desire is to help others increase their awareness of how God is present in their lives and follow that presence into the world wherever it leads. Spiritual direction is a kind of guidance that can help you focus on meditation and prayer, increased awareness and the radical power of God's unconditional love. If you think spiritual direction is what you need, why don't you spend some time reflecting and praying about it and then call me for more information? I enjoy sharing information about the field of spiritual direction and can help you find the right spiritual director for you. |
