Transition implies change. It
is a transformation process. We can ask for it or be surprised by it. How
do we move with change? Transitions can be deliberate and intentional or it can be happen unintended as matter of circumstance. Sometimes it is welcomed and sometimes it is dreaded. Some people have life transitions of great magnitude. Every time we have change, we transition for one state to another. There are mainly two types of transitions: those that come internally when change is forced on us as in trauma or depression, and those that come externally as a result of setting goals for invited change. Transitions can be physical, emotional, or psychological. They can be lifestyle, career changes, educational, or even spiritual changes. Transitions can involve others or they can happen independent of relationship. |

Every transition has 3 stages: 1) A beginning stage where you know that everything cannot remain the same. Something has to die or change or dissolve. It cannot remain the way it was. it has to die so it can be transformed just as a caterpillar gives way to the cocoon. 2) This stage is like the dormant cocoon that holds the potency of change invisibly within it. This is A middle stage of transition where the state that was before has been dissolved or it has died. There is a process of transformation. But the end is not visible and the past has been left behind. This stage is governed by uncertainty and unknowing and can feel very unsettling. |

3) An ending stage where we
have moved past unknowing and begin to feel lighter, wiser and more
integrated. In this stage, we let go and trust what is before us. We may
even see a glimmer of it. |
