Reflection Paper

Write a four page reflection paper in which you (1) examine and cite some of the key ideas and practices presented in this week’s reading and other resources and (2) compare them to experiences and practices you have encountered in your own spiritual journey.

The following questions may help you prepare and organize your ideas.

· Make a list of at least one idea presented in each assigned resource.  Which ideas were new to you and which were practices already part of your life?

· Review your responses to the Life map activity and the Guided Meditation Exercise.

· How have you experienced or utilized some of the ideas you have identified?

Be sure your paper is a balance of ideas from the assigned resources and reflections from your personal experience.
