actually liquefies itself before the raw material of
its body reformulates as the butterfly. That?s what I
feel I?ve been doing internally ? melting down.
not tolerate anxiety and ambiguity but wants
facts. The left brain may label this as a time of
chaos and negativity, or it will throw you into
irritability, reactionary behavior, panic,
avoidance, addiction, manic activity,
numbness, or depression ? just to have
something to do. It might prefer to fill the
liminal space with hyperactivity, drama,
trauma, or an accident or illness ? anything
but nothingness! Many people I talk to are
identifying with these left-brain coping
mechanisms, thinking they themselves are
crazy, incompetent, unevolved, unworthy, or a
failure because ?life isn?t working.? They say
they feel stuck. I think this is the left brain
talking, not the soul. The soul is never stuck.
This melting process is really a key part of
transformation. I recently participated in a group
dialogue about the concept of ?liminal space? ?
and the term intrigued me. ?Liminal? relates to the
idea of the threshold. In fact, it pertains to the
space on either side of a threshold. That caught my
attention because usually we think of what comes
before a threshold is reached, and not so much
about what comes immediately after, before the
new form solidifies.
If, on the other hand, you are more practiced in
perceiving from your right brain, body, heart,
and intuition, you will probably feel liminal
space as a sort of sabbatical or important
pause. You probably trust the Flow and the
evolution process, and are more comfortable
being with the moment as it is, knowing there
is wisdom to be had by paying close attention
and feeling into your experience. Waiting
doesn?t cause impatience. Being quiet doesn?t
feel like the Void. Feeling spacious and full of
potential is downright pleasurable. This is the
soul perceiving liminal
space.
So many of us are in liminal space right now.
Perhaps we?re about to cross a threshold, or have
already crossed it but don?t quite know it. We all
interpret this experience differently, of course, but
you can count on a few things: you feel
?in-between,? that you don?t know, that the old way
is boring or damaging to your body and soul, and
that you are out of your comfort zone. You haven?t
found an answer yet, can?t seem to imagine your
?future,? the Flow seems to have stopped, and
you?re losing meanings and security.
If you are a left-brain dominant person, your left
brain will go nuts in this undefined state. It wants
to know what to do, what to emphasize, what to
plan for. It wants to figure something out. It does
In liminal space you are
being directed into the
nonphysical world to
clear old patterns so
you can receive your
new set of instructions,
your new imaginations,
and more of your true
self. You, the soul, are
opening a path, a
clearing, so the spiritual
