There will come a time when we all reach the Dark of the Night on our path. That very bleak and dismissal time where we doubt our path and even our deities. Wondering if in fact we are on the right road to the higher plane of existence. This may last a week, a month, a year or even a life time. Some will walk away coming right back to the path that they started while others will not.
On our path, which sometimes is not an easy one to travel, we face many obstacles. Many of which are from within ourselves. We doubt, we have fears. With these emotions you will find that it is difficult to accomplish even the simplest of things that you are attempting to do.
Seeking out the counsel of a mentor is a blessing if you have the opportunity and should take it if offered. But the mentor is only there to help you and by help you must put your ego aside. Guiding someone that has the ego of a brick building is terrible as they will ignore everything from the simplest to the hardest suggestion offered. Listening is one of the things that we all must do during this time. Not just to a mentor but to our spiritual guides that are trying to get through to us.
A stalemate occurs and fear rushes in. Look within yourself and see what those fears are. Face them. Rant at them. Release them. Once you have removed the fear that is holding you back you will feel refreshed and renewed. Much like a facial, massage or even taking

Fears and doubts hold many of us back from further venturing on the path. Fears and doubts are nasty little things to acknowledge. It is terrifying to see them in the light of day. Yet releasing them will be a step forward for you!
There are many meditations available for this type of releasing. Find what works best for you and start a daily ritual of using these. It is a step in the right direction.
