Meditation & Liminal People
Liminal is a term popularized by anthropologists talking about rituals in society, especially coming of age rituals
A ritual when you move from childhood to adulthood
Some cultures will have you hunt a lion
some cultures will send you away to fast for a week
Some will simply perform a simply coming of age ceremony
There’s the old world before the ritual
the in-between world during the ritual, based on discovery, openness, and creativity
Then the post-liminal, a return to the world changed
The liminal space is a place of becoming. A place between worlds. Between the old you and a new you.
Some people live in that in-between space
Always in a process of becoming
Never belonging to one set worldview
These are what I can liminal people
This is liminal mindset is fun, interesting, magical and creative.
But then this in-between space can make it hard for doing.
Always thinking, always re-inventing, but not much doing
Take that into your day
Do you notice yourself in-between sub-cultures and social circles
Are you always in the process of growing, but find it difficult to get things done?
There’s an answer within ancient traditions of karma yoga, the yoga of skill in action
And Meditation with us in Neukölln, Berlin is just the practice for it.
