8 Ways To Use Transitions As Portals To Power

Transitioning from one state of being to another is like being between gears.
It’s a natural opportunity to recalibrate and reorganise ready for the next gear.

Melanie Swan

Transitioning from one state to another offers an opportunity to get more in touch with our natural essence and access more life force.

Here are 8 practical ways to use transitions as portals to this power:

1. ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU’RE IN TRANSITION

2. SLOW DOWN

3. GO EASY ON YOURSELF

4. FILL YOUR OWN CUP FIRST

5. TUNE INTO YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE

6. TAKE YOUR CUES FROM NATURE

7. REST WHEN YOU NEED TO, TAKE ACTION WHEN IT COMES FROM YOUR BODY

8. BREATHE, GROUND, GO AT YOUR OWN PACE
