Throughout our lives, we ask for guidance, direction, and inspiration to help us along our way. And, something comes along – an impression, a feeling, a thought. But it’s not always clear…is what we’re hearing wisdom or wishful thinking?
We need an inner compass as we navigate through our lives, a guidance system that helps us filter out what is real and true for us, what is not.
Discernment is the process of listening to the input we receive – both internal and external – and deciding what to keep, what to set aside. As we create a helpful process of discernment, we are able to listen deeply and then respond from an aligned, centered place.
Quaker and discernment expert Melody Brazo and I sort through the issues that come up as we listen and learn to discern what is true guidance on Discernment: Wisdom or Wishful Thinking? Join us Sunday, March 20th at 8 PM on Creating a Spirited Life.
