There are times during our awakening when we find ourselves at a crossroads needing guidance to ensure we move in the best direction possible, while staying on path. A path that can be excruciatingly difficult and painful to say the least. At times being forced in a direction we're not always ready, or willing to go in. Having to let go of people and things we love, and believed were permanent fixtures in our lives. Not being understood, suddenly being viewed as a 'lunatic' by those who haven't yet started the process, and therefore don't understand it.
 
Feeling alone in this, we try to grasp anything familiar to stop from going deeper into that emotional pit. Finally coming to the realization that fighting it only makes it more painful, confusing, and unfortunately, extends the length of time we endure it.

Although most situations we find ourselves in during the process are life lessons, big or small, the difficulty in becoming aware of what they are depends on how willing we are to acknowledge them. The universe is here to guide us through all the difficult times, be it through meditation, prayer, or oracle cards. All that is asked of us is to remain present, listen, follow their guidance, and just 'BE'.
