Guidance Seeking Quest

Today I was confronted with a question that I didn't have an answer to. 

It was about a topic that I had just been talking to my mentor about...a theme I have been playing out for the past several years, and one I am ready to let go of. 

I am aware of the purpose it has been serving in my life, the growth lessons I needed to learn and I am ready to move forward.  

Now BAM here I was, not two days later, being confronted with a very similar scenario and again not feeling like I had the right answer on what to do.  

The good news....I must surely be on an accelerated learning path for it to come so quickly.  The other news...I had no idea what to do.  

I am ready to hear the answer though so I decided to go on a Guidance Seeking Quest...

I am so blessed to live close to the Theosophical Society and enjoy the beautiful Sacred Space there, so I  got in my car and decided to go sit with Mother Mary and ask for some insight.


Picture
But she wasn't home!
Picture
Instead I found this sign :(

Then I noticed a stone path off to the side and I was sure I would find my answer there...so off I went.
Picture
But it was a dead end and led to nowhere... so I headed off to the Labyrinth to contemplate and find the answer there.
Picture
Picture
I started the journey with one foot in front of the other.
Picture
Part of the stones were covered in pebbles that hurt when I walked on them...but I was determined to find the answer so I kept walking.

But even after I went to the Center...completely surrendered, walked slowly back out of the Labyrinth, I still had no answer.  So off I went in search of the Buddha Meditation Garden.  Surely I would find the answer there.
Picture
I came across a secret entryway.  I thought I would find the Buddha Garden there.
Picture
Instead I saw a bunch of tangled branches.
Picture
Finally I emerged from the tangled secret trail and saw a lake surrounded by Willow Trees.  I knew I would find the answer there for sure.
Picture
Picture
I saw a bench and went to sit under the Willow Tree and listen to her Wisdom.
Picture
I sat for awhile but no answers came.  I decided to continue looking for the Buddha Garden.
Picture
On my journey I never found the Buddha Garden, what I came across instead was a Peace Pole which was so beautiful and the message was so powerful.
 
But still I had no answer to my questions so I headed home, hoping the answer would come soon.  

Dinner was cooked and eaten with the family but no answer came.

I decided  to pull three Oracle Cards trusting that the answer would be found there.  

And it was!  

Balance, Intention, and Free Will.  

The answer was within me all along.  Look to see if there is balance in the situation, go back to my intention, stop giving my power away, and own my power. 

I sat with the Wisdom for awhile.  Then I looked up the message of the Willow Tree.  

In the upright position Willow Tree says "Show your respect for all forms of life because this will help you to build a deep and lasting relationship with everything around you.  Spread harmony and understanding, and treat others in the way that you would like them to treat you."

In the reversed position Willow Tree says "A difficult person or situation is sounding a discordant note.  Do your best to understand other people's points of view, even if you don't agree with them.  You can lead by example, so show off your good nature."

Willow Tree message is from the deck, Using the Wisdom of Trees Oracle by Jane Struthers.  

So again I finally got my answer and it was perfect...Balance ~ Intention ~ Free Will 

With a little extra something from the Willow Tree and Jane Struthers, which was Icing on the cake!

I love this Amazing Universe :)

What do you do and where do you go to find answers to the questions that arise for you on your Earth Walk?

It depends on what my spirit leads me to; sometimes, it leads me to meditation and smudging sage or it will lead me to going near a waterfall, where I sit, meditate and then answer will come to me. Or it comes to me in a Catholic Church sitting in the last pew alone in the church. My spirit leads to my answers in so many different ways, I just try to be open to it. Which sounds like what your spirit did, also! Sounds like it was saying these are all the ways you can find it, there's no one way. :) I loved reading your journey into this.

What a beautiful journey! And the whole thing feels like a message to me. Keep going forward, keep looking, enjoy the journey but keep seeking, and the message will come to you. I love that!

Thank you Jill, your post resonates so strongly. I have fallen into a place that felt stuck with illness and no energy, an old pattern, feeling confused on how to move forward as you so eloquently described, until I stepped back to see it's gifts. Magic connections have opened as I allowed them. Bless our tree friends they offer us so much wisdom. Thankyou for a delightful and inspiring post. Fyona :-)
