The Transition Portal
How To Move Through Transitions & Seasons Of Life With More Ease & Loving Presence
Our theme inside the EMBODY membership this month is Transitions, exploring the concept of transitions, transitioning through life and through the different seasons we all go through.
Deepening our capacity to hold space for ourselves as we move through these transitions. As we move through these processes we all experience it a little differently. You may notice grief as you let go of the old, fear and excitement as you contemplate what’s to come, confusion if you’re unsure of what’s happening, doubt, inspiration, readiness, longing, desire... just a few things that could come up.
Transitioning is shifting from what you have known into something new... the unknown.
This can be scary and uncomfortable, and can stir many different emotions, sometimes we feel like we are ping-ponging, up and down, happy to sad, excited to fearful...
For me transitions has more often than not been scary and brought a lot of anxiety, resistance and fight.
Not because I didn’t want to transition but because I didn’t know how to be with the intensity of the portal, the emotions, the sensations, and the fear of the unknown.
There is a comfort in the known... even if the known is uncomfortable, there is a sense of safety being in the known.
But part of us longs for more, longs for this transition, longs for what’s on the other side.
The portal can feel dark and sometimes long... Like when will I come out the other side, can I just get there now, how much longer do I have to feel this...
The unknowing of “how long will this take” can be excruciating, and we are often looking, searching for “what do I have to do”, rather than asking the question “what is here for me”, “how can I surrender into this portal”
Many of us fight the transition like fighting the waves of the ocean, and eventually we get dunked by the waves... This can feel overwhelming, but when we learn to lean back and surrender to the waves, we begin to ride the waves and overtime we learn how to surf the waves,
When we move through these processes in sacred community in safe spaces the process is so much smoother, we feel safer to fully surrender to the process and experience the MAGIC of this potent time & portal
