Hi Marije - great to hear from you in your alchemy!

That's the point, when you actually take a step like this, it's the movement itself that creates the alchemy of inner change, because it stirs up so much. It's only then that you get to activate the density.

So my inquiry at the moment is how to avoid making ‘fear-based’ decisions. Particularly, when does tightness indicate that something is perhaps not the most aligned choice and thus something to listen to? And when is tightness a sign of fear about a particular choice that might stop you from making it and keep you in your comfort zone and therefore rather something to work through?

It's a good question. I'd say watch the obvious patterns that are shaping - so you know there is fear arising around a challenging step which seems to be in rightness. The only way to truly open out that fear is to keep taking the step that initially feels right - not to deliberate too long over these things. Then once you've unwound those layers, you may well find there are other layers underneath and the dynamic will change - when to authentically apply caution for example.

You have to go with what's arising right now though - not second guess the deeper layer!

Much love
