Asking for and Receiving Guidance:
On a peaceful Saturday in April I sat in the sun by the river, watching the glittering rays bless the cleansing flow of water. I closed my eyes for a moment and took in the warmth and serenity of the space around me. I watched an Eagle sitting patiently on a tree top, gracefully trusting that the next meal will be provided. Not fretting, obsessing, or flying about frantically, Eagle showed me the importance of true trust and patience.
Deep within my heart I asked for guidance about something in my personal and work life that requires me to stretch (way way) beyond my comfort zone. I knew from experience that when we ask for guidance, it always comes. It may be in the form of a sign, a song, a message, an animal, or a stranger we meet on our way home. However I also knew that the quality and nature of the answer comes in direct response to the quality and nature of the question asked. When I ask "why me?" or "how do I get more?" I may not be asking the right questions and may be frustrated when the answers arrive. Instead, when I ask for true guidance, one is that for my highest good and that of all those around me, I imply that I trust in the process of life and the genius of the universal wisdom.
In essence, when asking for guidance and by truly believing that it will come in the most creative and appropriate manner, I make room in my head, get out of my own way, and allow the flow to deliver me that which would best suite my soul and current situation (vs. what my Ego wishes for).
When asking for guidance about anything in life, try asking the following:
- What lesson(s) must I learn about this situation?
- What may I let go of in order to make room for the new to arrive?
- What am I attached to that needs to be freed (my pet, my relationship, my job, possession, outcome, etc')?
- Am I getting in my own way? (Forgetting that I am a powerful extension of source energy /
Divine / Spirit)
- Show me: what does my soul requires at this time…
- Use me: as your vehicle, tool, channel so that I may be of service to better humanity, the animals, and the planet (“How may I serve”)
Once asked, take a deep breath and allow yourself to let go. The guidance will show up in your life once you've released and allowed the energy of your question to bring forth the answers.
