One of the most important things to do when you are in a transitional period of life is to be protective of your energy and be extra mindful of who and what you expose yourself to. When seeds are deep underground, toxic elements can halt the seeds growth, and seedlings themselves are also in a fragile period where certain disturbances can make them wither and die. We too as humans when we are on the precipice of a huge shift need time to retreat and tend to these threshold moments with extra care. With so much chaos in the world trying to pull our attention in every direction and stir up anger and confusion in us, we need to be extra discerning on what we allow into our space during these liminal periods. There are seasons for engaging in the world and there are seasons to disengage. This transition between eras is ripe with huge endings and beginnings. In these periods of incubation, we must protect what is being seeded within us from unnecessary noise while this transformation takes place underground in the depths of our own soul.
