Anyone of us, at any time, can feel as if we have lost our way. It is like standing on a small, windy path in the woods that has suddenly become strewn with leaves. Standing in this chaos may feel challenging. To be honest, it can also feel a little frightening.
Unsure of whether to go forwards, backwards or sideways, we can be caught like a deer in the headlights. Then worry gets hold of us, 'what if I can't get back on the path? What about if I am lost forever?' Then, fearful of your future, you grapple with your own consciousness, trying feebly to get right back where you were before.
Mistake!
When the leaves cover the path, it is not some spiritual challenge to see how fast you can get rid of the leaves. No! Rather it is about seeing how capable you are of thinking,'well, I will just carry on walking and see where I end up then!' Because, in truth, you don't need a path to follow.
I don't believe that we have a cast iron blueprint to follow on our journeys. I believe that our path is a meandering adventure and, if we allow ourselves to float along it, we will probably find that we end up where we were supposed to be going anyway. A bit like a spiritual Sat Nav.
I am not immune. Despite many years of meditation and commitment to my spiritual path, I occasionally find myself trapped in my own thinking. But, spirit reminds me, one way or another, to get out of my own way and allow a higher guidance to step in with a good big torch.
No matter what is, or isn't, happening in your life right now, don't let it shape you. Take a deep breath, thank spirit for reminding you of your destiny and allow spirit to carry you there. You will get there much faster once you let go and get out of your own way.
