Today’s daily oracle card pull is The Lotus Throne. Try the inner guidance meditation at the end of this post to explore how this energy works in your own life.

Seek your own council

Know that the Divine dwells within you—not outside you.

Go inside, seek your own inner guidance. It’s a hard task that requires discipline…and really good filters, especially in today’s busy world.

We have a thousand points of contact, all broadcasting what we should think, feel, and do.

Family and friends. Social and news media. Politicians and activists. Doctors and businesses. Religious leaders.

This message isn’t about ignoring them all. It’s about being discerning.

SO: GO INSIDE.

Summon your own courage, will, and spirit.

Whatever you’re wrestling with right now, sort through all that stimulus.

Then set it aside. Take a moment, breathe deeply, ground yourself.

What feels right to YOU?

Be brave. Tune in to your own guidance. Create your own path.

Inner guidance meditation exercise

Close your eyes. Breathe deeply until your heart rate slows and steadies.

Briefly review a decision you need to make in the near future.

Do this as though you’re sitting in a movie theater, watching a movie.

ASK:

Are you seeing all the details around the decision you need to make as they truly are?

Or is your vision clouded by outside stimulus (the opinions of friends and family, trends in popular culture, etc.)?

If you were going to advise a friend on what to do in this situation, what would you tell them?

And then? Listen.

When you’re done, write down any impressions or thoughts you may have. Over the next few days, reflect on your notes and see how what you’ve unearthed will affect how you move forward.
