With warm thanks to Jerry for his suggestion & encouragement that I post something along the line of PersonalCrisisSupport?

I would be more than delighted to hear from anyone interested in sharing such stories.

Thank you for willing to share.

I think Cher wanted a page for this. She made the link but not the page. I will start this page for her. Its a bit later then her original post but I think we can start now.

Thanks Ken. I must admit I have been "in hiding" since March :-)
Oh I remember you from your photo, you were in Jean's session last AYE. I'm still struggling with the concept of "transformation". For example, do we have to "die" inorder to transform to grow & learn again? I remembered someone said to me, a rather beautiful quote - to truelly experience life, one has to experience death.

Hope to hear more stuff on your postings.

I think transformation is related to leaving something behind as you move into a new reality. When people we love die or our pets it seems to me a major transition and potential transforming expereince. Maybe it happens when we graduate from high school or college going on to new jobs. Certainly 9/11 did this last year for the U.S. and people of other nations.

Is this close to your notion of transformation, Cher?

Hi Becky, Using your description of transformation i.e. leaving something ..move into a new reality, I feel no difference in the description for transition. To me, to transform is the same as to transit. To move into a "new reality" (or to a different energy level), not only do I feel that I leave something behind but I also need to "metamorphose" to experience the new reality. In my mind, to "metamorphose" I need to experience the new reality before I leave something behind. I guess it's like experiencing death before your last breath. In crisis or chao do we know when is our last breath? I guess that's the beauty of being alive..we never need to know. I feel that the process of transformation is a series or waves of emotional suppression, containment or release. When we "die" we contain the energy/our last breath. So, I was just wondering for transformation to occur do we contain our feelings (to leave something behind) to move forward. This I find very hard to comprehend. Ok let's move on to something else, something less morbid :-) From my own experiences, the way I emerged (transformed?) from my personal crisis is to contain to release my energy (or chi) inorder that I will be alive again.The emotional containment is the hardest part for me. Hence my need to "get away from it all" :-) Thanks Becky for prompting this question.
