“If anything disturbs your peace, practice having faith that divine grace is already actively at work restoring wholeness and well-being.

Then make any necessary adjustments in harmony with that insight.”

"Divine guidance rarely specifies what we should do. Instead, it comes as peace. It comes as love.
It comes as truth. It comes bearing our divine nature itself."

~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian, Living For The Sake Of The Soul, p. 37

Sometimes, it can be difficult to determine whether our inner guidance comes from the ego or the soul. Our true soul nature is peace, love, and truth, and so too is divine guidance. Divine guidance has a patience that arises from the depths of our inner wisdom, and an expansive hope that arises from the remembrance of divine possibility. Divine guidance or intuition arises quietly as a gentle nudge, rather than an urgent command to “do” something.

Our daily meditation practice helps us quiet the mind, so we can hear the soul inspiring, not demanding, the next step that serves the highest good of all. When we pause in meditative stillness, we can hear the still small voice of peace, love, and truth encouraging us from within. Pause, listen, then follow.
