What
is this?
A guy name Ignatius of Loyola developed
several spiritual exercises that were used centuries ago. Reading
with the Imagination is an offshoot of one of his exercises. You
will be reading a portion of scripture trying to imagine
yourself in that particular situation.
How do I do this?
You will read a passage of scripture
multiple times. Each
time you will be trying to utilize all your senses to see what
is going on, to smell the odors present, to feel certain things
around you, to hear the voices and sounds present, maybe even
to taste what is being offered. Your imagination will
help with this reading. Once you are done, jot down
what came to mind during the experience.
