5 Questions for Crossing the Threshold
Hello all 🙂  I saw this beautiful essay and thought it was the perfect time to pass it along.  New Year or not, it’s always a beautiful time for a new start, with yourself or others.  During our sessions and retreats with people, and especially this time of year, we often talk about crossing a threshold into something new.  The archetypal journey of life, often called The Hero’s Journey, involves crossing many thresholds and facing many of our Threshold Guardians.  This is a beautiful way to approach those changes, so I wanted to pass it along.  This is a direct cut/paste from...

I can tell myself, “I’m frightened now because even though I know what’s true, I have forgotten it right now. I know the possibility of remembering exists.”  That possibility, that conviction, gives me a lot of hope in the middle of the biggest fright. – Sylvia Boorstein Hello all!  For whatever reason, I have had a great many calls and emails from people experiencing tremendous fear and anxiety today.  Maybe it’s solar flares or war, maybe it’s the heat and...
