ripplecast 1793202997007

Story of the Day from Empower Soul Path, Inner World.

You are in a seaside town at night. In the distance stands an old lighthouse, its light turning at regular intervals. The door is slightly ajar. What do you do?

What would you choose?

A. I climb the stairs to the very top
B. I stand at the threshold and watch the light
C. I stay on the beach and watch the light fall on the sea
D. I look for the person lighting the lamp inside

Read the scene once, notice which answer your body leans toward first, and go with that. In symbolic stories every choice carries an image, and the image you reach for can say something about where you are right now. There are no right or wrong answers.

A question to sit with

What is the light guiding you in your life right now? You can write your answer in a journal, or simply hold the question in mind during the day and notice what comes up.

About symbolic stories

Symbolic stories are short imagined scenes with a single choice. They are a gentle way to reflect on your inner world, your relationships and your patterns through images rather than analysis. They are a lens for reflection, not a personality test or a diagnosis.

The Empower Soul Path app has 60 symbolic stories in 9 languages, a discovery journal that keeps your choices, and a monthly symbol map that shows the themes you return to. Try today’s story here: https://app.empowersoulpath.org/s/lighthouse?lang=en
