Sometimes when we ask for guidance, we already have a sense of what we want to hear. At such times, receiving guidance can be difficult, because we don’t want to hear anything that appears to be in opposition to our desire. Therefore, one of the most important qualities we need to cultivate if we are to receive guidance is an open mind. It helps to acknowledge what we want, and then to symbolically set it aside, making room for whatever wisdom comes through to us.
Cultivating an active relationship with the divine is the essential
ingredient to being able to receive and trust guidance when it comes our
way. We can make a daily practice of this by using a set of runes, a
deck of cards, or a pendulum. We can also use our journals, developing a
relationship with the divine through the written word. As we request
and receive guidance, we might take notes on our experiences. Over time
we will begin to recognize when we were able to hear correctly and when
we were not. In this way, we will gradually attune ourselves to our
particular relationship with the divine. Begin to trust the guidance you
are receiving and soon you will find it flowing with ease.(Daily OM)
