Another talk that I gave at my church. This one was focused on the wonderfully simplistic yet deeply powerful ancient spiritual exercise called “the Examen” that uses emotional awareness to integrate self-reflection and prayer.

Making Room for God in Your Emotional World

In writing this talk, I drew heavily from two sources: the work that takes place in MIT’s Shadow Magicians and this truly excellent book on the Examen: Sleeping with Bread, Holding What Gives You Life.

CHALLENGE: Can you find the Big Lebowski reference in this talk? Email me the right answer and I’ll give you a copy of the Sleeping with Bread book!
