Transformation is an process of alchemy – a transmutation that happens in the deep underground of our being. We cannot control this process at will, for it is driven by the very force of Evolution…that which calls and guides all Life to grow. We can however help catalyze the force within us, strengthening our connection to it so that it may do its deep work upon our being and in our life.
The truth is that transformation rarely occurs with one swoop. Yes, there are big ah-has, but real and lasting change and growth happens in increments…noticed when we awake one day and realize we feel, and are, different. Noticed in the midst of challenge that no longer has the same emotional charge or that we respond to differently.
Our work is to create Personal Practices, or rituals of well-being that are done daily, with commitment and courage. There are many such practices, including meditation, prayer, dance, drawing and journaling. A good, transformative practice takes you through The 3 Gateways of Transformation. Over the next few posts we will explore these 3 Gateways: Presence, Awareness and Bearing Witness.
As we step into our place of Evolutionaries we are asked to embrace and surrender to the mystery and beauty of the process, doing our part by showing up to it through holy practices of Self-emergence.
Until next time…your companion on the journey,
Tracy
