Sample Activity: Crossing the Threshold
Built for motion, the Cat invites us to simply progress forward, in whatever manner we need today. Literally, this could mean trying something or going somewhere new. Emotionally, it might involve acceptance, or moving past a fear or blockage.
On today's Walk, we will use a line in order to symbolically cross a threshold. Lines have great power, since they have the ability to organize: to both unite and to divide. Perfect lines are somewhat rare in nature, but they can be found: a straight tree trunk, a segment of a stream, a valley, a fault line in the ground.
Your crossing could involve jumping over a fire, fording a small stream, stepping over a fallen log, walking across a line you've drawn in the earth, hopping between two stones, or traversing some other boundary you select.
Imagine that on the nearer side of your line lies some feature you wish to leave behind; this could be a negative emotion, some incident in the past, or even just the current moment to make way for the new. On the far side of the line, imagine there exists some positive feature.
Take a moment to set your intention before you make your move—then go! Leap, step, walk, or run across your boundary, and as you cross that threshold, envision that you are shedding the old feature. As you reach the other side, welcome the new. Acknowledge the journey you have made, and know that you are capable of much more to come!
