Examen of Personal Consciousness

Examen of personal consciousness … a worthwhile exercise?

What does the expression “Examen of Consciousness” mean?

While the expression is most often attributed to Ignatius of Loyola … an open minded and educated English speaking person will see it as Socratic (The unexamined life is not worth living) … predating Ignatius by 2,000 years.

Something one should do regularly… as done with regular workouts for the body.
