On Liminal Spaces
the in-between periods of life
Lately I felt like I am lingering between passageways.
Not quite where I was, not quite on the other side of whatever this is.
This can be the middle, the portal, the liminal space.
My confession here is: I noticed how I tend to judge myself for lingering in the liminal for what my ego determines is “too long.”
It can be unsettling to feel like I am in consistent transition, change, and shedding. Changing lands from Philadelphia to Puerto Rico has much to do with this, as well as fully endeavoring into the realm of entrepreneurship, which, if no one has told you : is a process of birthing yourself over and over again, especially if you are in the realm of offering a service. You will be asked to come face-to-face with every single one of your fears : from the personal to the ones held in lineage.
The ego wants to dance out of the liminal and into a certain, quantifiable something. But once you’ve been through a series of initiations, you learn not to rush the birth.
The flower essences are what truly held me through the consistent contractions and transitions, both internal and external. Their quiet and gentle vibratory powers are reminders of just how much I am healing from my lineage, just by being on this path.
Because honey, all of this is not for nothing.
You know how it feels: the work you do that goes unnoticed, the quiet moments of redirecting yourself, the little adjustments you make on the daily to bring you closer to God or community or yourself… these are everything.
The liminal space asks you to trust.
The in-between does not ask you to hold onto something certain. We are in-between worlds, in-between identities, in-between ways of relating to the entire cosmos of our lives.
On July 9, I’ll be hosting a free webinar on how we can work with the flower essences. We’ll cover a variety of things from just what flower essences are, to how they can be worked with to heal through the personal to the lineage-held wounds. You can join by signing up for the Caribeña Flower Essence Study waitlist.
Hope to see you there, xoxo.
