I knew a Jungian therapist years ago who used to talk about the growing edge, that space within your experience where you feel trepidation, uncertainty, anger, despair...anything that makes you feel that you've reached a cliff-hanger on your journey toward enlightenment and full potential. What you do when you find yourself here will determine the nature and extent of your growth. Will you turn away from what you're feeling and retreat, locking the truth of your experience inside, from where it will manifest later in unconscious ways? Will you stand at the cliff, immobilized and demoralized? Or will you look around, take stock of where you are and what support you have, and then take a leap of faith, propelling yourself toward the next leg of your journey?
When you reach a growing edge, as I have once again, may you rally support from your allies, say a prayer of faith and gratitude for another opportunity to grow, and then leap with the clear intention to fly.
