Ignatian Night Examen — Wednesday, January 14th

a day of health, creativity, and recovery

1. Gratitude — A Soft Thank You for This Day

Tonight I begin by giving thanks for the joy of my sadhana, grounding me in presence and peace.
I am grateful for my medical exams, for the care of my body: new glasses for my eyes, clean teeth, and the awareness of slight hearing loss with the plan for further care.
I give thanks for the afternoon’s creativity and focus in my Open Source project, and for the evening’s connection in the SLAA Women’s meeting and the integration of TYI Yoga for Better Living.
I honor the balance of health, work, and recovery that shaped this day.

2. Ask for Light — Seeing My Day with Kindness

I invite a gentle, moonlit clarity to shine over my day.
Not to judge it, but to understand it.
I ask for insight that feels soft and true — like starlight resting on quiet earth.

3. Review — Walking Back Through My Day

I walk slowly through the hours of this day:

• Morning sadhana
• Medical exams and care
• Afternoon work on my Open Source project
• Evening SLAA Women’s meeting
• TYI Yoga for Better Living

I notice the rhythm — health, creativity, connection, and integration.

4. Reflection — Where I Moved Toward Healing

I ask myself softly:
Where did I move toward truth, recovery, or authenticity today?
Where did I feel grounded, supported, or aligned?
Where did I offer kindness to myself or others?
Where did I feel Mother Nature’s quiet guidance — in caring for my body, in creative work, in community, in movement?

I hold all of it with tenderness — the effort, the devotion, the healing.

5. Renewal — Curling Into Rest

As the night deepens, I release what is heavy.
I keep what is true.
I let myself soften into rest.

May Mother Nature cradle me tonight with warmth and gentleness.
May I wake renewed, steady, and open to the next step in my healing.

May all beings be safe.
May all beings be free.
May all beings know peace.
