124: The Transition Portal | How To Move Through Transitions & Seasons Of Life With More Ease & Loving Presence

Exploring the concept of transitions, transitioning through life and through the different seasons we all go through. This episode aims to support you in deepening your capacity to hold space for yourself as you move through these transitions. We all experience the transition portal a little differently. You may notice grief as you let go of the old, fear and excitement as you contemplate what's to come, confusion if you're unsure of what's happening, doubt, inspiration, readiness, longing, desire... just a few things that could come up. Transitioning is shifting from what you have known into something new... the unknown. This can be scary and uncomfortable and can stir many different emotions, sometimes we feel like we are ping-ponging, up and down, happy to sad, excited to fearful... For me, transitions have more often than not been scary and brought a lot of anxiety, resistance, and fight. Not because I didn't want to transition but because I didn't know how to be with the intensity of the portal, the emotions, the sensations, and the fear of the unknown. There is comfort in the known... even if the known is uncomfortable, there is a sense of safety being in the known. But part of us longs for more, longs for this transition, longs for what's on the other side. The portal can feel dark and sometimes long... Like when will I come out the other side, can I just get there now, how much longer do I have to feel this... The unknowing of "how long will this take" can be excruciating, and we are often looking, searching for "what do I have to do", rather than asking the question "what is here for me", "How can I surrender into this portal" Many of us fight the transition like fighting the waves of the ocean, and eventually, we get dunked by the waves... This can feel overwhelming, but when we learn to lean back and surrender to the waves, we begin to ride the waves and over time we learn how to surf the waves. In this episode, I offer insight and practices to support you as you move through the Transition Portal.   __________________________ Let's Work Together   Creating Safety Portal (The Foundations Program)   The Sacred Art of Loving Yourself   Join the Waitlist for The Embodied Woman Experience   Private Coaching   __________________________     Let's Connect FB: https://www.facebook.com/moniquecarmela.love IG: https://www.instagram.com/moniquecarmela.love W: https://www.moniquecarmela.com/ Get the APP  👉 https://embodiedlove.passion.io
