Do you know your Spiritual Edge?

In this 8 minute podcast clip we explore our own personal Spiritual Edges that have pushed us beyond what is comfortable and how we engage with these edges in a pragmatic way. Annie shares openly about the death of her son Lewis last January and the deep knowing of something larger that was present in this tragic situation. She was on a Spiritual Edge that opened and communicated to her, even in the midst of wrenching grief. Annmarie....

We all have an Edge whether we recognize it or not. They are those places that we are willing to move up to, but we don't go beyond. Whether it be a mental construct about how the world should be or a belief system that guides us and tells us what is real and what isn't. Or, that inner place of safety where we avoid risks and stay in our "same" even though we feel something pressing on us. Whether it feels like a rut that you need to change up to get unstuck or a beckoning to move beyond something familiar and safe, naming our Spiritual Edge can give us the motivation to take one step beyond into what awaits us on the other side of the door.

Here are a few reflections to get you thinking about your Spiritual Edge:

  1. Where have you felt a press that you've ignored or avoided? What does it feel like? Where do you sense it most in your life?
  2. What experiences have you had that you can't make sense of? What has felt ineffable or unexplainable? 
  3. Where have you noticed wanting to take a step over a threshold into a new practice, way or thinking or believing or a different way of living? What or who has held you back? What are you afraid might happen if you take a step forward and say yes?
  4. If there was one belief or awareness that you wish more people believed or agreed with to make it easier for you to say yes, what would it be? 

There are so many more reflection questions that you could ask yourself to get your juices flowing. Take a few minutes to listen to the attached podcast and you'll hear a few of ours. It isn't always easy to think outside of the accepted boxes and to name something that others might think is weird or unacceptable. But, if you are willing, it can be the very moment of illumination that breaks open in your life to live beyond your Edge.

With Love,

Annie and Annmarie

P.S.  Might your Edge be the inner "No" of that keeps you from a larger "Yes"? This is our very last opportunity to join our 10 month Spiritual Coaching Program. If you have felt that inner press to say Yes, and you just haven't acted, we offer you one more opportunity to move to your Spiritual Edge and to cross over. We officially start on February 1 and we'd love for you to join us on this transformational journey. We will walk with you using our Spiritual States Map and give you the tools you need to find the Balance to manifest what your heart most wants in 2023!
