Anytime we head into the unknown and want to break past a limit, a question arises inside of us, “is it safe for me to be this big out in the world?”
That’s because if we want something bigger, our ceiling has to rise to encompass that thing and that can be scary. Sometimes we’ll expand into that bigger thing but then shrink back into our familiar shells.
If we don’t make our presence bigger than our fear, this process will keep repeating itself.
What if, instead of expanding and contracting - we could expand and integrate at a new level? That’s where flow comes into play - it’s a way for us to expand our capacity for bigger things with curiosity, instead of contracting ourselves back into the known.
Like a dance where we don’t quite know the routine, the key is to move so that the next step emerges from the flow.
How do we integrate to a new level and not sabotage ourselves? How do we reduce our fear when we’re stepping into the unknown? In this episode, we talk about how to accompany yourself to the next level.
Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
-Find safety in integration not contraction
When we’re faced with the unknown, we can either contract or expand into it. How do we leap into the latter without fear?
-Turn towards what’s wanting to happen
When we’re in the flow (not the fear) of the unknown, life becomes a free form dance. Why do we have to let go in order to find the next step?
-It’s as easy as saying “tell me more”
When we stay in conversation with others, it opens up the flow. How do we learn to go into unknown situations with curiosity instead of contraction?
