Enliven Your Listening

7/24/2017

This post was originally published on the blog of Spiritual Directors International. SGTI's co-director, Jan Lundy, shares her favorite quotes on listening and explores the significance of listening within the spiritual direction/guidance relationship. 


"​I am a quote lover from way back. I’ve been collecting them since I was a teenager, recording them in my journals. I don’t do anything special with them, simply re-read them on occasion. Though I often find that they initiate a “remembering” in me—the recall of an “important something” that I may have forgotten, like how to stay calm, forgive, or let go.

Lately, I’ve been collecting quotes on listening. On some level I know that while the ability to listen empathetically is often a natural gift, it is also a commodity that needs ongoing attention and cultivation. As spiritual companions, listening is key to what we do. We are “professional listeners.”"  (Read more ...)

Universal Wisdom

One of our passions is collecting and sharing snippets of "Universal Wisdom." Recognizing the sacred threads of truth that run through all of the world's spiritual traditions of the world can open the doors of perception, understanding and
acceptance.

Each week we select a key passage and concept of universal wisdom from a global tradition or spiritual luminary and send it out to a list of subscribers. Have you received yours yet? You may subscribe here and view a sample below. 

​In the words of Bede Griffiths in his book titled, Universal Wisdom: A Journey through the Sacred Wisdom of the World, "In each religion therefore we can trace the development of a comparatively simple and unsophisticated religion into a subtle and complex system of philosophy, which shows a remarkable unity underlying all the differences."

On the Radio: "Open to Spiritual Guidance with Dr. Jan Lundy

7/3/2017

 
Picture
I had the privilege of being interviewed by Kenny Brixey of "Life's ToolBox" on Empower radio about SGTI and the topic of spiritual guidance. 

We discussed some important questions:
What is spiritual guidance?
What is the importance of spiritual guidance in someone's life? 
Can we ever serve as our own spiritual guide?
Can we be a spiritual guide for others? 
​
"Now more than ever we could all use guidance in our lives. Understanding that guidance, how it works and where to find it are all keys to living a life that is in alignment with our greatest good. We do not have to rely on our own efforts and struggle along trying to make things fit in our lives. With spiritual guidance, we have a loving guide. We need only tune into it." ~ Kenny Brixey
