Will you turn away, or take the next step ahead?

Having just gone through the Solstice, with the longest day, we begin our swing back towards the Equinox, the balance point. I have a fascination with Solstice extremes, and the turning point from one movement to another. I've written before about how this is like being on a swing (my favourite as a child!), that moment of weightlessness, where you are neither rising nor falling, the body is seemingly suspended, the air feel still, but full of anticipation for the next moment of movement...

That moment is the Threshold, the edge of liminal space, just before a choice becomes action, or a thought becomes words. That moment is ineffable, difficult to define in words or concept, but that is why it has the potential for so much.

At the beginning of every year, I draw a card for each month. For July, I pulled The Threshold - its guiding words are The Door, The Gate, The Initiation, and represents growth, individuation, and ease in the Liminal.

Take a moment to feel into those words, and recognise what it brings up for you.

You may feel nervous about the thought of walking into a new paradigm, starting a new job, stepping into another phase of life. Ease in the liminal is not what the subconscious was built for. But it is what we inhabit on a Soul level.

As humans, when we move into the liminal, we suspend what we 'know' to make space for what we Know. Our subconscious minds fear the unknown because it finds comfort in what has already been witnessed or experienced. But the Soul thrives in the Unknown.

Within the Unknown lies the potential for change, growth, liberation. And while we can perceive this 'space' as unfamiliar, the opposite is true.

Within the Unknown, unbound, unfamiliar, is what we are seeking: More of Ourselves. Our true self. The Soul that is boundless, timeless, more understanding, less attached or conditioned.

When we stand at a threshold, we are invited to leave the perceived safety of a smaller perspective, to become something More.

Over the coming weeks, I encourage you to meditate on the following:

• Which known paradigms, habits, patterns, am I willing to leave behind, for the potential of something More? What would it take for me to do this?
• Can I open my imagination and intuition so that I can begin to witness the gifts within the Unknown? Can I set aside some fears to make this more possible?
• What do I not trust within myself that stops me from stepping beyond the Threshold? How can I build that trust within myself again?
• What do I believe about the Unknown that is not true? Can I recognise that my fears are untrue, and set them aside?

Remember that your mind will not have the answers, especially as you move into new territory. Its your intuition and your courage to take the next step that will teach your mind what is possible. Your mind expands and grows in relation to your courage and willingness to move ahead. What will you choose to choose right now?

Sending blessings for your Thresholds, I can't wait to witness what evolves!
