Crossing the Threshold A Ritual of Reflection & Choosing Your Word for the Year Ahead

Описание: The space between years is sacred.
Before rushing into goals or resolutions, this guided ritual invites you to pause, reflect, and consciously choose how you want to live the year ahead.

We are standing at a threshold — between what has been and what is not yet formed.

In this episode of The Aligned Human Project, Dawn Elgin guides a ritual of reflection designed to help you:

✨ Review the past year month by month — without judgment
✨ See your growth clearly, even where it felt messy or uncertain
✨ Integrate wisdom instead of repeating patterns
✨ Release what is complete
✨ Choose a word for the year ahead as a living compass — rather than resolutions rooted in pressure

This practice is grounded in Field + Form: The 12 Laws of Co-Creation, especially the Laws of Return, Authorship, Devotion, and Alignment.

Dawn also shares her own lived reflection — how choosing Alignment as her word reshaped her work, clarified her dharma, and gave birth to The Aligned Human Project.

And she introduces her word for the year ahead: Enthusiasm — joy in the present moment, paired with devotion to a long-term mission.

This is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about witnessing who you’ve become — and choosing consciously how you want to move forward.

✨ YEAR-END REFLECTION QUESTIONS (MONTH BY MONTH)

You can reflect quietly as you listen — and I highly recommend journaling by hand afterward.
This is not a performance review.
It’s self-witnessing.

🌿 A Gentle Reminder

You don’t need perfect answers.
You don’t need to remember everything.
You only need honesty and compassion.

Reflection is how wisdom integrates.
And what integrates… no longer has to repeat.

✨ You don’t need a new version of yourself.
✨ You need a truer relationship with who you already are.

This practice supports conscious authorship — choosing how you live, lead, and create from alignment rather than pressure.
