Spiritual Direction is not just for the religious. Though it has a many centuries-long tradition in the world's great religions, a person with no religion may, in fact, have easier access to the internal compass which guides the individual path unerringly. Spiritual Direction might be described as a companionship of discovery in which one's own deep internal core wisdom is heard and respected.
The focus is on relationship with subtle Presence known by many names: the Mystery, the Sacred, the Divine, God, or even, one's Higher, Best, or Wise Self. The intention is a growing conscious and intimate connection to the soul (interior world), the the spiritual (the less tangible but powerful currents underpinning life). This relationship affects every aspect of life and ultimately the larger community of which we are, and play, a part.
As your companion on the spiritual journey, my task is to notice and respond to subtler currents occurring in your life, and to discover together meaning and greater possibility.
The process might include enhancing awareness of feelings and images which may be encouraging greater connection and wholeness, discernment in making authentic decisions, learning to connect with Source through meditation, and possibly prayer (if appropriate to you). The results of this ongoing journey are very often a deeper sense of connection to life, peace and fulfillment.
