Spiritual Practice: A Dialogue Between Strengths and Opportunities

Wondering how you might deepen your spiritual life using your Spirit Map results? The practice below invites you to consider how your Signature Strengths (SS) and Key Opportunities (KO) come into relationship, and comes from Sarah Cledwyn of Grow Soul, Spirit Map's Spiritual Direction Consultant.

Take a look at your Signature Strengths and Key Opportunities.  Are there any that you feel are a pair or go together?  Let the two statements take on a bit of personality and have a conversation.  Assign your Key Opportunity to your non-dominant hand and your Signature Strength to your dominant hand.  See what they have to say to one another.  Have them ask each other good questions. How do they answer one another?

For example, take the pair:
SS - I care deeply about the welfare of others.
KO - I give to others fully and generously

Your KO hand might ask your SS hand:
  • What kind of action expresses my deep care about someone's welfare? 
  • How do I experience my deep care for someone? 
  • How do I experience others' deep care for me? 
  • What does generosity look like in these experiences?
Your SS hand might ask your KO hand:
  • In what ways do I feel free to give fully and generously? 
  • What holds me back from giving to others? 
  • How do I let my deep care inform my boundaries and generosity?
As your SS and KO hands talk to each other, you might discover an invitation to honor healthy boundaries as an act of deep care and generosity.  You might find some information about when you feel free and generous and when you don't. When you have found some insight or traced the questions to a stopping place, take some time to wonder about what you have learned.  How does it change your imagination about your spiritual life?
