What is Ignatian Spirituality anyway?

Those of you who are discerning next steps in life may have heard of Ignatian spirituality. St. Ignatius of Loyola is commonly seen as the having paved the theology of discernment through prayer, and there is a video series on Ignatian Spirituality being created by the Irish Jesuits.
