Path

Your direction in life; the ideas or aspirations that govern direction. If we love caring for others, these feelings may direct us along the path of healing, nursing, medical practice. The path therefore symbolises the direction indicated by your predominant feelings. To lose the way, or go off the path, is to lose contact with, become confused over, or ignore your inner tendency, or to miss seeing the cues or signs in your environment that suggest a change in direction. A well worn path suggests a well established or habitual way of doing something; the way other people do it, so following the norm.

The path has been used as a religious symbol for thousands of years, and here means the direction in which your personal growth toward wholeness takes you. It is the path of experience you tread from unconsciousness, or pre-consciousness, lost in the forces of nature and instinct, to liberation and individualisation of self in a conscious realisation of your innate being, at all its levels. So the path can simply say – your life journey.
