Change...it's the only constant. We live in a world that is always changing, bringing unpredictability and instability and requiring that we constantly reinvent ourselves in order to survive and move forward.
It can bring up lots of fear as we struggle to let go of the old trapeze bar before the next one has swung into view. And yet those transition zones in our lives are incredibly rich places. They should be honored, even savored. Because by hurtling through the void, we may just learn how to fly.
The great thing about trapezes is that you can't hold onto two bars at the same time. You have to let go of the old one in order to reach out and grab the new one. In between you aren't holding onto anything.
And that's where all the possibilities are - in between. That's where you're open to new possibilities. That's where the magic happens.
Energetic Experience:
Say 'Ahhh!' Open up your mouth big and wide and YAWN! Make full relaxing yawning sounds as you exhale. Let your eyes crinkle and your nose wrinkle, and even let your tongue hang out for full relaxation response! We can often tell how relaxed we are just by observing our tongue. How does yawning make you feel?
Indulge in the pleasure of deep yawning throughout the day to get stale air, old emotions and limiting beliefs out while bringing fresh new opportunities into your heart and mind and oxygen into your bloodstream.
Everything you want is on the other side of fear.
Let's shift the fear of transformation into the transformation of fear!
So, get your pen and paper and do tell...
Journaling SPARKS:
What are you afraid of?
What would you do if you weren't afraid?
What do you desire, really?
Meditation Musing:
"Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, we're afraid!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, we will fall!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
And so they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew."
