Enter the interior "library of your soul" in this new audio meditation. Through the metaphor of a library, explore the stacks and discover the titles and genres that have shaped who you are. This guided meditation offers prompts for you to explore in your imagination, to simply see what is there. And perhaps you'll bump into someone you know who will show you something you hadn't seen before. You can find other audio meditations and Examens at the Ignatian Audio Meditations podcast --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/god-in-all-things/support

Learn more about the book and follow MaryEllen's Instagram where she has a picture of her granddaughter Teagan, and the real Grandmother Willow!
