Choose which examen works best for you and I encourage you to practice this daily and experience the awareness, healing, and life giving blessing that comes in the daily examen of one's life.
Before you begin, pray to see your day through the eyes of God.
Light your candle...acknowledge God's presence. Pray to review the day through the eyes and love of God. We can have a tendency to be much more judging of ourselves then God is.
Imagine yourself in a favorite place with God...take a few BIG deep breaths in...breath in that unconditional love, and when you breath out, fill the space around you with it.
1. Ask God to bring to your heart the moment today which you are most grateful. Most able to receive love. Where have you received life? What was said or done that made it so special?
2. Ask God to bring to your heart the moment today for which you are least grateful. When you were least able to receive love? Ask yourself what made it so difficult. Be present with whatever you feel without trying to change or fix it. Take deep breath in...feel Gods love fill you just as you are.
3. Give Thanks to God for the things you experienced during this examen.
