Wow, talk about shedding the old ways of doing things! It feels to me as if everything is up for grabs these days! I know I am doing things to intentionally make some changes… but, the amount of “stuff” that is falling away, seems unrelated. Yet at the same time, when I step back from it, it seems like they are all dominos. Falling in unison!

As time passes and I stay focused on what I am creating in my life, it is hard to miss all the amazing results. At the same time… with every awareness of what is new… There is also an awareness of the old. It is odd to be in a situation and know you are making a new choice. I find my self thinking… “in the past, I would have done <fill-in-the-blank>”. It’s a little odd! (At least for me!). I am doing something different…. It feels right… And I am aware that it is not what I would have done before…. WHAT?

AND, There is another part of this. I am becoming more aware of what triggers or hooks me! I can see patterns and the architecture of situations, events, or experiences that are emotionally charged for me. Now this doesn’t mean I am not having the emotional reaction… It simply means… I am aware that I am about to boil over, get into a fighting stance or, some other emotional projection. While it is happening!

I believe we are in the midst of a dramatic energetic shift here on planet Earth. I believe we are awakening to our true nature.. Our balanced selves ~ Our connection to All. As a result.., we are being invited to experience our lives in new and different ways. As we move into a new paradigm, we are still aware of our old ways of doing things. It is like standing in the threshold between two rooms. You have memories and still relate to the room you have been hanging out in… But you are also seeing, sensing and experiencing the one you are stepping into. Even if it is not familiar to you yet!

So, is there a choice about whether to step across this threshold or not? What happens when you accept the invitation to move into a new space and others that you know and possibly love, don’t? There are so many questions that these shifting and changing times create. And yet, it seems clear that we can’t know the answers until we discover them in this new space. And in this moment, it is clear that the past will likely offer limited assistance during this new discovery.

I realize that this metaphor has a flaw… It promotes the idea that the shift or change is outside of us. That it is the space we are operating in that is shifting or changing. This is not the case. These are internal shifts that are happening. We are evolving within. Revealing new spaces within our own consciousness that we have not explored before. And then watch… When we shift internally.., what we see, hear, smell, taste and touch will also begin to change. However, the internal shifts first!

How about you? Are you passing through a threshold?
