In Between:
           Opening to Transformation

---

• The old story is gone.  The new story has yet to be revealed.

                         You are “no name”.                  You have “no story”.                A time "in between."

• All is potential energy.  A time of incubation.    Great possibility.  The chrysalis of a butterfly.

 

• Others may be uncomfortable with you being in between.  “So tell me what’s your new story? 

            Your new job?  Your new relationship?” 
​                                                          Resist the urge to give a quick, pat answer.

• You may feel lots of uncertainty and fear about what lies ahead.  Maybe even terror!

              Or perhaps this in-between feels more positive: genuine anticipation and excitement about the rebirth                that’s to come.   Whatever the feelings, lshout, sing, dance and cry!   Keep the feelings moving through.

• C a l l   i n     s  p  a  c  i  o  u  s  n  e  s  s. 
  • Go slow. 
  • Don’t overbook. 
  • Let this be a fallow time.

 

• Spend lots of time alone in nature.  Especially now.  
  • Allow the mirror of nature to teach you about what was, what is & what's to come.
  • Consider doing a more formal "day walk" -- read more here about The Day Walk

 

• Do a Death Lodge ritual if you have unfinished business with another person.  (See The Final Crossing: Learning to Die in Order to Live to learn more about the Death Lodge.)

​

• Do a Purpose Circle ritual to express all that you are at this stage of life.   (See The Final Crossing: Learning to Die in Order to Live to learn more about the Purpose Circle.)

 

• Let creativity slowly give shape and form to the possibilities. 

 

• Hold the uncertainty and unease as best you can.  Allow the rebirth to come in its own time.
