Tapping inner wisdom: How metaphor instantly transforms our perspective

Mythologist Michael Meade beautifully describes sacred occurrences as moments when the “seal that separates the worlds” is broken, and Spirit enters through the opening. In Doorway Sessions, this is exactly what happens—clients step through a portal into a sacred, interior space where they access profound metaphoric wisdom. The messages from this realm are clear, direct, and immediate. Once an image reveals itself, there’s no need for further analysis or overthinking.

A Personal Shift: Valuing My Time Through Metaphor

For years, I’ve struggled with setting limits and boundaries on my time. Whenever I tried, I felt guilty—like I was being selfish or letting my ego take charge. But during a Doorway Session, an image emerged that changed everything.

I saw fruit falling off my tree—fruit that represented my time. My tree was producing beautiful fruit, but if I didn’t make an effort to harvest it, the fruit would hit the ground and be wasted. The message was clear: my tree won’t produce fruit forever, and it’s my responsibility to gather and value it now.

This metaphor instantly ended my inner conflict. It wasn’t about guilt or selfishness anymore; it was about honoring my life and my time. I no longer felt stuck, debating the pros and cons or trying to rationalize my choices. The image brought immediate truth and clarity, showing me exactly what I needed to see.

Why Metaphor Is So Transformative

Metaphors work differently from the analytical mind. They bypass our usual cycles of overthinking and intellectualization, allowing us to feel and experience a truth that’s deeper than words. They provide clarity without debate, resolution without struggle.

Whether we’re grappling with personal boundaries, career decisions, or life’s deeper challenges, we all have this inner wisdom available to us—wisdom that can be unlocked through metaphor. Once we step into this space, we don’t need to analyze or second-guess; the truth becomes self-evident.

Would you like to access the transformative power of your own metaphoric wisdom? A Doorway Session can help you step into this sacred space, where immediate clarity and healing await.
