http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D5bgFjCNXY)
Ignatian Examen is a way of praying that St. Ignatius
of Loyola developed to help people be aware of their
encounter with God in their daily experiences.
It includes: silence as a beginning to prayer,
reviewing or going back to what happened during the
day, and being grateful to God to become a better
person.

Sit down properly and
comfortably. Be aware of
your breathing. Breath in.
Breath out. Close your eyes.
Be silent.

that way When you were
