ABSTRACT
Before you can work with other people about their spirituality, it is essential to know about your own. This is not to suggest that your spirituality is completely fixed and understood, but rather to have a sense of where you are now and how that might influence you in your relationships with others. Often our spirituality is so much a part of who we are that we aren’t conscious of it – or assume that everyone else must feel the same way. Shideler suggests that ‘education in the spirit is a matter of being liberated to develop our natural styles’ (1985: 30). This chapter explore ways to be conscious of your own spirituality and what that might mean about how you relate to other people about theirs.
