Sleeping
Distracted, passive, or disconnected from a deeper spiritual life.
A REFLECTIVE CATHOLIC ASSESSMENT
Discover the
Condition of
Your Soul
Are you Sleeping, Wounded, Awakening, or Radiant?
You can be accomplished, responsible, and devoted while still feeling that something within you has become tired, wounded, or disconnected. Begin with an honest recognition of where you are today.
Private and reflective · Approximately 5–7 minutes
01 · A QUIET INVITATION
Your soul may be asking
for your attention.
What forms your soul eventually influences how you think, choose, relate, lead, love, and respond to God.
This is not about shame, perfection, or condemnation. It is about awareness, because transformation begins with an honest recognition of your present condition.
02 · THE FOUR CONDITIONS
A journey from sleeping
toward radiance
These are not rigid labels or permanent identities. You may recognize elements of more than one condition.
Wounded
Pain, grief, shame, or disappointment may be affecting the capacity to trust and receive love.
Awakening
Becoming aware of what is no longer aligned and beginning to desire healing, truth, and God.
Radiant
Increasingly rooted in truth, trust, virtue, love, and an active relationship with God.
03 · BEGIN WITH AWARENESS
What is shaping your
interior life?
Prayerfully consider your connection with God, interior peace, integrity, spiritual strength, relationships, and signs of drift.
- 60 carefully considered statements
- A compassionate reflection on your present condition
- A clear invitation toward your next faithful step
THE NEW EBOOK · $17
Go deeper into the
life of the soul.
Most people are living one of four conditions right now. Sleeping. Wounded. Awakening. Radiant. And most have no idea which one or what it's costing them.
This is a guide to naming where you are, not where you perform being, and what it takes to move toward the soul God intended, toward radiance.
“Peace follows alignment, not achievement.”
