If you feel like exhaustion has emptied you,
Or if you fear collapse is near,
Or if you are in the midst of burnout,
This transmission is for you.
Welcome to At The Threshold,
A series of spoken transmissions for the moment when you know change is here,
But stepping into it feels like more than you can hold.
This transmission is for you when you are carrying the weight of depletion.
For you who are already in the midst of burnout and don't know how to move forward.
And for you who sense there may be a deeper truth hidden in the fire that is moving through you right now.
For you who wonder if what feels like collapse might instead be purification.
This transmission is not here to tell you to push through or to rest it off.
It is here to name the difference between distortion that drains you and the sacred fire that frees you.
It is to help your nervous system to remember that burning out is not the end.
It is the clearing of what is not yours so you may rise lighter,
Truer and whole.
Let this transmission meet you exactly where you are right now.
Return to it as often as you need,
Especially in the moments when exhaustion feels like defeat.
So you can remember that actually the sacred fire is your ally.
Take a breath with me now.
Let your body arrive here,
Where you are,
Right now.
Feel the surface beneath you holding your weight.
Feel the air around you as it touches your skin.
Notice that you are safe,
Right here,
In this moment.
With your breath,
Begin to drop your awareness into your body.
Down into your chest.
Into your belly.
Into the ground beneath you.
Imagine roots unfurling from your spine,
Your legs,
Your feet,
Reaching deep into the earth.
The earth knows how to hold you.
You are safe here.
Let your body relax.
As you breathe,
Imagine a clear golden white light.
Drop gently through the crown of your head.
Let this light flow through your body.
Moving down.
Let it meet the earth.
You are now connected above and below.
You are held by both heaven and earth.
This field is sealed in sovereignty,
Love and truth.
As you breathe calmly and naturally,
Let us acknowledge why you are here.
You are here because you have felt the weight of exhaustion.
Or because you fear you may be collapsing.
Or because something in you knows there is a deeper truth inside this exhaustion.
Than what you have been told.
You are not here by mistake or coincidence.
You are here because your soul has brought you to this remembrance.
Because you are ready to receive it.
And from this safe and sovereign place within you let us turn together towards burnout and burning out and discover how your body remembers freedom inside exhaustion.
There are two fires.
Two distinctly different fires.
Though they may look alike.
One is burnout and it is distortion,
Collapse,
Life force drained.
The other is burning out,
Which is purification.
Distortion cleared and the self remembered.
At first glance they seem the same.
But when you feel them closely,
You know they're different.
Let us walk together into the heart of this fire so you may feel its truth in your own body.
These two fires.
They are fundamentally different even though they may look alike.
Burnout is distortion.
It drains you because you gave away your life force until nothing remains.
It leaves you numb,
Hollow,
Collapsed.
Burning out on the other hand is purification.
This fire empties you,
Yes.
But it empties you of what no longer belongs.
It is the sacred fire that clears distortions from your field,
From your body,
From your subconscious mind.
So your original essence,
Your original light,
Your soul can shine again.
Burnout happens when you resist burning out.
As you hear this,
Notice your own body.
Where does fear of collapse sit in you?
Where do you brace against exhaustion?
Breathe.
Breathe into that place now.
And imagine that this fire is not consuming you but cleansing you.
Now let us speak truth slowly and let each truth settle into your body like a stone in clear water.
It ripples to different layers of your being.
Burning out is not my failure.
It is my purification.
What feels like emptiness in my system is emptying what is not mine anymore.
This exhaustion is a sacred fire,
Not a collapse.
What burns away is distortion and what remains is the true me.
The fire,
The sacred fire is my ally.
I am safe to let it pass through me.
Let these truths soften your breath.
Let them loosen the grip in your chest.
Feel your shoulders release.
Feel the tension on your back dissolving.
Feel the space in your lower back.
Grow.
Feel the space opening in your heart.
Feel the deeper breath that you are able to inhale and exhale.
You are safe.
You are alive.
You are remembering what your body already knows.
Just stay with your breath.
Slow and steady.
Feel the warmth of this sacred fire in your chest.
Not harsh,
Not wild,
But steady like embers glowing in a hearth.
This fire is not your enemy.
It is your ally.
It is here to free you,
Not to end you.
As these truths settle deeper in your cells,
In your bones,
In your nervous systems,
In your physical and energetic bodies,
Let us close this remembrance together.
If you are burning out,
Trust it.
Allow it.
Stop resisting it.
This fire is not the end of you.
It is the end of what you are not,
And from it you will rise brighter.
Take a few more breaths now.
Feel your body resting on the earth beneath you.
Feel the air moving gently in and out.
When you are ready,
You may return to your day with clarity,
Or allow yourself to rest,
Knowing that you are loved and held.
This transmission is sealed in truth,
In love,
In sovereignty.
You are always whole.
