On a fundamental level, spiritual direction is a dance that is attuned to the rhythm of the Holy Spirit. On the practical level, the spiritual director needs to be attuned to the spiritual directee’s unique rhythms, which in turn emerge from the person’s unique faith and daily experiences. The art of tuning to the spiritual directee’s rhythms requires the spiritual director to carefully listen, as reflected in openness and sensitivity, to the spiritual directee’s various cultures.
