Opening To Life's Transitions - August 12th

Hello and welcome to Five Minutes in Nature with me Liz Scott and I'm just taking a little stroll through our village.

You might hear the occasional car go by.

It's a bit of a cooler time of the day.

What's really nice is that the evenings are quite cool so I've really enjoyed just getting out in the evening once again and just enjoying the air.

And in our village we have little pockets where there are wildflower meadows and I've moved along to a different pocket of wild grasses tonight and just can see amongst them brambles and different heads of grasses,

Some of them floaty,

Some of them more like pokers,

Some of them taller than I am actually,

Some of these grasses.

It's such a wealth of different grasses that I can see all around me and today I am actually just reflecting on transition because as I look at these grasses I know that we are transitioning in our season.

Even though it's August,

Everything is transitioning.

It feels as though this chaotic summer growth is reaching its finale,

Its grand finale and these grasses as they turn a golden yellow are part of that shift and transition as we move towards the autumn.

And you know my question actually today is just a question of you.

I'm ever so curious.

You see I've been in a space of transition for the last two years.

My life has really felt as though I am letting go of something,

An old way of being,

And I am opening myself up for something new.

And do you know what?

I am really curious to know whether this is something other people are feeling too.

A transition it comes when something no longer fits and when you're in that space of transition you're not sure what the next step or form of your life is going to take.

It just hasn't emerged yet and that really perfectly sums up where I'm at.

Over the past couple years I've I've closed up a business which was looking at community work,

I've reduced my clients,

I've been on a pilgrimage,

Come back from a pilgrimage and just at this moment in time I feel as though I've had two years of looking into myself,

Being contemplative,

Reducing the distractions in the external world.

And now I feel as though I am turning around and ready to step back into the world again with my new sense of learning and contribution.

Even though I don't know what that learning and contribution is yet,

I feel as though something has shifted and I feel a real resistance to go down the road of the old stuff that I was doing.

For example,

I feel this incredible shift around money and I might be talk about this again in future conversations with you,

But there's something about money and the way my identity was wrapped up in money and success was wrapped up in money.

Something feels as though it's being shed,

Like an old skin is peeling away around money and I'm curious to know what this new relationship is going to look like with money.

I'm curious to know what this new relationship is going to look like in the world as I start to consider what it is I want to contribute,

Offer,

What I might give to the world,

What my business might be like in the world moving forward.

I absolutely know that the world is sick,

People are sick,

There's an illness around the pursuit of money,

The pursuit of goals,

The pursuit of busyness.

And the one thing I feel that is so important is to look within and to notice and to be present to your oneness and connection with the energy of life itself,

The intelligent wisdom,

The wise energy of life,

That from which we all come from.

That is the place to look,

That is the place to put your attention.

So today my question is,

Do you feel as though you too are going through a place of transition?

And if so,

I would really love to know what that looks like for you.
