12 The Drifter

I trust myself and will find answers within.

The Drifter glances back at the warm lights of the distant town, the moonlight illuminating her face. The answers she seeks aren't to be found there. It's time to move on. Turning away, she wanders deep into the night. It's time for her to take a step back from reality and journey to her inner world alone.

A mysterious figure, the Drifter radiates a sense of introspection and quiet confidence. She has complete trust in herself; she doesn’t fear making decisions. She wanders endlessly across the desert from spaceport to saloon. As long as she listens to her instincts, she knows she won’t get lost.

The Drifter tells you not to be afraid of taking time for yourself to recharge and cultivate a safe, calm space inside your mind. It’s easy to get carried away with the momentum of being ‘busy’, so we forget to stop, breathe and remember who we are.

If you find yourself looking to others for answers when you have a decision to make, take some time to explore what your intuition is telling you. Journey into the desert sky in your mind, and see what you can find there.

Being alone with your thoughts isn't easy for everyone, but with regular practice, meditation can have some powerful benefits. We all need a little safe place we can go to, so why not have it in your own mind? Next time you have to make a decision, try spending some time alone to consider it, before asking others for advice. You might find you already have the answer you need.
