What is Spiritual Direction by Emily Freeman
I really love my wife Emily’s definition of Spiritual Direction and explanation of this ancient practice.
She writes, “If you're unfamiliar with the practice, spiritual direction is a counter-cultural practice of co-listening for anyone who wants to deepen their awareness of and relationship with God.
It allows space for curiosity, discovery, and held silence. It’s a space where both people submit to the movement of God and where one person listens without an agenda.
In its purest form, I believe spiritual direction is our human way of making up for what has been lost.
I believe these listening relationships are what we’re actually meant to do for each other but it has become a lost art, even in well-meaning and healthy faith communities.”
