A Solstice Meditation: Standing at the Threshold
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This Solstice episode of The Liberated Middle is a guided meditation focused on the experience of standing at a threshold.
Rather than rushing to set intentions or make meaning, this practice invites you to pause. To notice what is completing. To feel what is beginning to stir. And to allow your nervous system and body to register that something is turning.
The Solstice marks a moment where the light changes direction. One season reaches its edge, and the next has not yet fully arrived. This meditation is an invitation to be with that in-between space, without pressure to decide what comes next.
This episode is especially supportive if you’re feeling reflective, tired, tender, or quietly ready to let something go.
Listener Note
This meditation is an invitation, not a requirement.
Please take care of yourself as you listen.
You’re welcome to pause, adjust your position, or stop at any time.
✨ Reflection Questions
You may wish to journal or reflect on one or two of these questions after listening:
- What does standing at a threshold feel like in my body right now?
- What feels complete in this season of my life, even if it wasn’t perfect?
- What am I ready to lay down, without needing to fully understand it yet?
- What quality feels quietly present that I’d like to nurture moving forward?
There’s no rush to answer these. Let them unfold over the coming days.
