Ignatian discernment is a process developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola to help individuals make decisions aligned with their values and spiritual beliefs. It involves prayer, reflection, and consideration of one's feelings and experiences to discern God's will in various situations. The process encourages individuals to examine their thoughts and emotions, distinguishing between feelings that lead to peace and those that cause unrest. By engaging in this reflective practice, people can better understand their desires and make choices that foster spiritual growth and fulfillment.
