Top 10 Episodes - #2! Cultivating Daily Shalom: Using The Daily Examen
We are #2 on out top 10 Episodes list!
It really is a great episode, and so very practical. If you have never used the Daily Examen, this will be a great primer for you to get started. We also have a downloadable PDF (in the show notes) that has the 5 Steps listed and briefly explained. Steve goes into more detail in this episode, and I think that is one of the reasons it’s one of our top 10 episodes. It is a practice much needed for the 21st century!
I will admit that I am still getting used to using this helpful tool. When I actually sit down to go thru the 5 steps, I always take more time at #3 (Review your feelings). Not because I have so many more feelings than everyone! But because I have always struggled to recognize and acknowledge those feelings - it is a lifelong struggle.
And that’s what I love about the Daily Examen - it acknowledges that feelings are an important part of our soul. And to imagine this was created 400 years ago! The idea that God can talk to us through our feelings was a revelation to me, and something I had not heard in all my years of attending church. And it has been liberating me in how I view God. I am so thankful that St. Ignatius created it, and so thankful that Steve shares it with us in this podcast.
Feel free to share the Five Steps PDF with your friends and family, and encourage them to listen to the podcast! St. Ignatius’ wisdom is something we can all use.
With love,
Pam
