How do we then move confidently, boldly, unashamedly, or adventurously into a place of true freedom of choice?
Think about when we have set intentions and the universe is answering our prayers in various ways and we are left with radical possibility and unclear outcomes.
What do we do when we face the fear-inducing 'unknown' with no limits?
What do we do when we are given opportunity to make a mistake, or succeed, knowing that either way, we will be in full responsibility for that outcome because it wasn't influenced by anybody else?
What if we embrace our agency as human beings with brilliant futures, and breathtakingly intense experiences waiting for us on the other side of anxiety?
How can we get there as spiritual people?
I know a few helpful ways, such as divination, prayer, meditation, trusting in your intuition, listening to your body, and paying attention to outward signs, dreams and the subconscious mind. There is also breaking out of the grip of feelings, to let your other faculties be honest with you.
In divination, we can ask the tarot or oracle cards, rune stones, ogham sticks, coins, bones, crystal pendulums, or other omens for perspective on our situation, and see some of the doors that are open to us more clearly. we are also still free to step in another direction.
With meditation, we ask our higher self or higher power, or guides and spirit allies for assistance in making the correct choice that is for the best possible outcome, and least possible harm.
Here is a short meditation as an example of how we can reach out for guidance, either with or without divination tools.
Hold an intention around decision making. Ask for the guides and allies you have to guide and protect you as you meditate. Ask your higher self and/or higher power to grant you insight and perspective.
Connect to your breath, breathing in slowly through the nose, and exhaling powerfully out the mouth from deep in your belly.
Put your hand on your chest and pay attention to your heart beating and the pulse running through your veins. Connect to your heart.
Now connect to your intuition. Intuition opens you up and expands you. Intuition says Yesssss clearly when things are right for you. Connect to that Yes. What is it about? Explore it a little.
If you feel your thoughts drifting elsewhere, connect with your center, and remember that you can connect with that good feeling in any of your energy centers, at any time.
And if your thoughts stray to other distractions, just make note of those thoughts and accept that they are thoughts, maybe acknowledge them as something for later that you may need to work through and allow yourself permission to return to your intention.
When you are ready, reconnect to your heart and your breath. reconnect to your body. wiggle your fingers and toes, shift in your seat, and open your eyes if they have been closed. welcome back.
If you have questions, seeker.... ask them ♥
