Threshold – Opening the Door to Possiblities

We’ve crossed over into a new year, a new number, and renewed hope in changing our lives and our world.  Before the new year rang in, I noticed a lot of press, even in the cartoon section of the newspaper,  about letting go of 2008 in terms of “thank goodness it’s over” and “good riddance 2008″.  It was a difficult year for many, and I had my challenges too. And yet reflecting back it’s important to take inventory of the successes we did have, what was learned, and what is up for change as we move ahead.

New years resolutions can be very daunting and seem overwhelmingly BIG to tackle and many people give up, just before change is about to occur.  A great way to ease into the new year with a cleaner slate, is to begin the 28 day Soul Coaching Program.  During the 28 days, you will move through and examine all the elements in your life including; air – mental, water – emotions, fire – spiritual, and earth – physical body.  The carefully crafted exercises assist you in clearing the debris that keeps you from hearing the messages of your Soul.   By listening to your Soul, you are able to live  in integrity with yourself and your life path.

For the next 4 weeks, I will be highlighting an element in my blog to offer you an excerpt of what we will delve into much deeper during the 6 week on-site group and in the on-line group.  Next week, I will be writing about the air element and your intellect.  Let’s clear the clutter, the cobwebs, the debris and find YOU at the core!

The following is a prayer/poem to honor the ushering in of the new year, that actually begins from this moment, to the next moment, to the next…

Crossing A Threshold by Gunilla Norris*

Many times today we will crossover a threshold.

We hope to catch a few of those times.

We need to remember that our lives are, in fact,

a continuous series of thresholds:

from one moment to the next,

from one thought to the next,

from one action to the next.

 

Help us appreciate how awesome this is.

How many are the chances to be really alive..

to be aware of the enormous dimension we live within.

 

On the threshold the entire past and the endless future

rush to meet one another.

They take hold of each other and laugh.

They are so happy to discover themselves

in the awareness of a human creature.

On the threshold the present breaks all boundaries.

It is a convergence, a fellowship with all time and space.

We find You there.

And we are found by You there.

 

Help us cross into the present moment –

into wonder, into Your grace;

that “now-place”, where we all are,

unfolding as Your life moment by moment.

 

Let us live on threshold as threshold.”
