How to Use Inner Guidance to Find the Path Ahead
Introduction
If we are to renew ourselves, then it is essential that we first
loose ourselves. Feeling lost for periods is a natural experience,
and is a sign that we are growing and evolving. By learning to accept
feelings of uncertainty and confusion, and by trusting that clarity
will come in its own time, we can learn to relax and enjoy the unfolding
of our life. To find the path ahead we need to learn to trust inner
guidance and follow it.
For Example
Samara had recently broken up with her boyfriend, Richard. She felt
very uneasy - not knowing whether she had made a mistake. When she
was dating Richard she had sometimes considered marrying him. She
often thought of ringing him, but never did. She noticed that she
felt unattractive to other men and was not receiving any serious
attention from admirers. This feeling of being lost and not knowing
the path ahead stretched out over a number of months and made her
feel insecure and fearful at times. She found she was able to let
these feelings surface and released them by crying. She also shared
her thoughts and feelings about the relationship with a few close
friends. In time she came to see her former relationship more clearly.
Through her insight she began to realise that Richard was an unsuitable
partner for marriage. Then Richard phoned her. She was surprised
to find that during the telephone conversation she had the strength
to be absolutely definite about wanting to end the relationship.
After this call she felt a new freedom inside and held to the intention
of finding another more suitable partner. Two months later, while
waiting at a bus stop, she found herself in conversation with an
attractive man and was asked out on a date.
An Exercise in Using Inner Guidance to Find the Path Ahead
This is an exercise in literally finding your way. You can do it
on your own or with a friend. Create and hold the intention deep
in your heart that you will discover a beautiful, special place
that you will really enjoy - a place you have never been to. Travel
by car, public transport, bicycle or on foot, to find this new undiscovered
place without the aid of a map. As you do this, notice how your
intuition and insight work together to help you find the way. Be
aware of any fear that comes up about becoming lost or failing to
achieve your intention. Do not give up until you find your perfect
place. When you return home remember how holding your intention
directed your inner guidance to support you on your journey and
trust that by holding clear intentions your inner guidance will
support you in the same way with resolving and finding solutions
to the bigger issues of your life.
