Transitioning from Fear to Faith By Mal Duane We are born into perfection, untouched by external events or the fears and opinions of others. As small children we live life without limitations and self- consciousness. As life progresses, external events, experiences and interac- tions with people start to influence us and our thoughts. People can pull us away from our light but no one else can take us back to that consciousness , only we can. As life progresses, we are able to recognize our need to recon- nect with the authentic voice we were born with. All through our journey we have the ability to go back to our perfection; the soulful core and connection to our pure knowingness.

The objective is to create an outlook that translates into a new or better chosen reality.

The Wise Woman Way: Some Change Please By Susun Weed Change and transitions are, by their very natures, abrupt, even if planned. What can we do in transition? Come to stillness, sit back, relax, go with the flow, listen to your heart, make connections, and smile. Transitions demand that we find a still space within ourselves. That is the place my Seneca grandmother always referred to as “the within the within the within.” We can find the center of the whirling gyre, even when everything around us seems to be spinning faster and faster and threatening to blow up. A meditation practice gives us the skill to go to our still center within the space of a breath.
