You are opening yourself up to both yourself and God. There is not a grade in examen, nor is there a grade in any other spiritual practice. Various questions can be helpful in the examen practice. Below is one way of practicing examen. The hopes are awareness and attendingThe practice requires permission and welcome • The practice begins with permission. In examen, you give God permission to show you parts of yourself that are hidden or harder to see. You also welcome and allow parts of yourself to be seen by God and yourself. • This is done by reflecting on and responding to a series of questions. As you do this awareness of those parts of you starts to emerge. • Then, you permit God again to attend to what came up. Your work here is towelcome what you can and allow God to attend to you. • Repeat daily for 7-10 days, giving yourself time to notice and explore what you see. Examen Questions:What do I find myself grateful for today? What am I grieving today? Where do I sense God’s nearness to my grief? Where do I sense God’s distance from my grief? How has God been generous with me lately? How is God calling me to be generous today? Prayer:After responding to these questions, allow God to attend to you through yourresponses and what is coming up in you. Tell God thank you after a few minutes or however long you need. visit laurabmurray.com to learn more!

The Enneagram Godmother + The Great Russ Hudson + The Reverend Where do we sign up?!?! Today's podcast episode comes from the LTM teaching event in Dallas, Br5aking The Cycle (don't worry, you'll learn why it is spelled that way and what 5a means). As you'll hear Joel explain, this 2 hour teaching is only the opening for the rest of the next 10 hours, but it is an entire workshop in itself! There is nobody Suzanne holds in higher regard when it comes to Enneagram Wisdom than Russ Hudson. The real magic that comes out in this weekend's teaching is that Suzanne, Joe, and Russ are each in different Enneagram Triads: Suzanne, Heart - Russ, Head - Reverend, Gut. And the teaching is on Enneagram Triads, managing your dominant center of intelligence, and how we br5ak this darn cycle! Wanna send Suzanne a message while she is recovering? CLICK HERE PLUG TIME If you want to continue on this journey of Br5aking The Cycle, you can purchase the entire workshop during the month of October and get it at 40% off!!
