An introspective mood may turn your focus inward today. You might even be feeling reclusive in your urge to delve deeply into your thoughts. In order to make the most of this meditative state, it might be helpful to make those around you aware that this is the case so they won't intrude upon your inner world. Then you can allow the shift of focus to give you a new perspective. Even if you can't retreat into seclusion, from your inner vantage point you can observe and listen to the clues that life brings you. If possible, choose tasks that leave your mind free to wander and contemplate. If you let it, your meditative state of awareness today could show you a new way to walk through the world.

By following the urge to go within, we solidify the pathways that connect our inner worlds to the world outside. This creates a firmer foundation from which to launch the desires that have been created at our deepest cores. Our inner worlds are the birthplaces of our hopes, dreams, and goals. From here, we find solutions to puzzles and answers to the questions that help us become our best selves. When we learn to access that part of ourselves in daily life, we become modern-day mystics, balancing our inner and outer worlds to reach our highest potentials. You are following the gentle urging of the universe toward your highest good when you let your contemplative mood lead the way today.
