When you've found someone to potentially walk alongside you on your spiritual path, remember: discernment requires action. You need to experience it. So, if you've had a positive encounter — perhaps during a retreat or through a recommendation — take that next step.Ask, inquire if he or she can journey with you? If they agree, give it a try. Allow yourself two to three sessions, spaced out over a month. Don't rush.
Pay attention to how you feel. Does this person create a safe space for you? Are they attuned to your needs? Do they meet you where you are in your journey? You'll often find the answers not in your mind but in your body, in that inner wisdom guiding you. Trust it.
Also remember, surrender this process to the divine. Trust that God, the ultimate spiritual director, will lead you to the right person. Pray, listen, test, and trust.
