"Liminal Space" is for me a state of betweeness - of no longer feeling certain of or attached to our prior concepts of reality, yet having no firm grasp on what is still forming to replace it. The word “liminal” comes from the Latin word limens, meaning "threshold" and at times like this the sense of waiting for a door to be opened becomes palpable.
Within this liminal space the human nervous system, being led by the limited conditioning of the mind, often goes into fear & anxiety. This makes sense from a physical and egoic perspective because our body and mind are conditioned to want to know how to survive. But ironically it is at these times, if we can relax into the present experience & pause in our tendency to scheme or plan, that the greatest unseen potentials are at work. So to focus our attention on remaining in the present moment and discovering the undercurrent of serenity that is always available is really our best viable option. For only then does the divine universe have free reign to synchronize the "inner" and "outer" worlds.
This is also when it is such a privilege to have teachings like those of Adyashanti, Gangaji, Eckhart Tolle etc. available at our fingertips through youtube & other online sources, for they can provide a calm perspective precisely when we need it most. We live in an age where, what was once rarely offered to devout seekers willing to travel to other lands, is now speaking to us in our own homes. And my experience has shown me that all of our inner work, in whatever form we have chosen to explore, will always eventually take us to this "liminal threshold" into the deepest truth of our being.
The "liminal space" that exists as a threshold of personal and collective transformation is what I am most called to explore. I thank you for joining me here on Blue Earth Awakening and invite you to share your experiences here. What are you experiencing during this full moon and this time of great change? What threshold are you teetering upon................?
