By Theresa Savanah Dion

A transition can happen in many ways, it can come as a light breeze or take hold of every aspects of our life. Whatever shape it takes, it is a call for an inner transformation to take place, to integrate parts of ourselves that were lost and disconnected.

This book focuses on the Spiritual component of moving thru a life transition, where we are called forth to draw from within the strengh and courage to support us in moving forward and letting go of what no longer is in alignment with our growth at a soul level. 

 

Uprooted was written with firsthand experiences of what it means to be called to reinvent oneself especially in times of transition, what the author calls being uprooted from what is familiar, to merging the inner strengh and trust, to reinvent oneself using practical and pragmatic down to earth approach.

This book offers unique and concrete steps to design and define how you want your life to unfold. Uprooted is written to empower the reader towards integrating, find inner peace and reconnect with qualities at a soul level that were once disconnected.

I am most grateful to all the beautiful Souls I have encountered throughout the years and received support from on this journey of Life. I am grateful for all my life experiences as they have helped me be the person I have become and will continue to become. I especially want to express my most heartfelt Thank You to Anca who has helped and provided me better clarity with her feedbacks and patience during the editing of the manuscript for Uprooted. And last but foremost, I am most grateful for my children who bring up aspects of myself that are hidden deep within and would not otherwise be brought to my consciousness to be healed and reconciled with should it not be for their only presence in my life.

INTRODUCTION

What if being uprooted and taken out of our familiar way of life, taken out of our comfort zone, in whatever form that may be, is simply meant to get us into a deeper knowledge of and grounding with ourselves, to root us deeper into our life, like we never were before?

The description of UPROOTED in this book applies to any transition that leads to an inner transformation you may be going through right now and is taking you to a different level within yourself. A transition or being uprooted as I call it, basically means to be propelled out of our comfort zone and into a different way of being. For example: A divorce or marriage can uproot us from a familiar way of life into the unknown. So does the passing of a loved one, the birth of a child, a change in work status, or moving to a different country, just to name a few.

In Western culture, uprooting means to remove as if by pulling up, to pull up by the roots, to displace from a country or traditional habitat. It is also used when describing a change of some sort, a transition.

It can appear to be positive or negative, it can manifest over a short or long period and it can vary in intensity. At times it can flow, and other times feel like chaos. It takes us out of our comfort zone and can bring with it a state of limbo, doubts, fear, anger, the unknown, and most importantly, the need to let go.

We may be compelled to go through some form of uprooting (transition) at some point in our life. We may be conscious of it or simply flow at ease into it without noticing it is taking place. It could also take a long time before we see clearly all the pieces of the puzzle falling into place.

However, change and uprooting are different in their respective ways. A change is something we adapt to, whereas an uprooting involves a deeper, inner transformation. While an uprooting requires a change to take place, a change on its own does not necessarily lead to an uprooting. A change is usually a short-term transformation and demands more of an adaptation to it. As Heraclitus, the Greek philosopher said: "The only constant in life is change." (Mark)

For example, we adapt to the changing weather pattern, changing a usual route due to road work taking place, or a change in our work environment that requires some form of new adaptation, just to name a few.

An uprooting carries an inner transformation that does not necessarily occur with a change. It can manifest as several smaller uprooting experiences (transformations) that can ultimately lead to a bigger and longer one. For example, leaving a relationship can be the trigger for an uprooting (transition) to take place, driving us towards a greater inner spiritual transformation. A trigger can be an inner sense and/or feeling that a certain way of life no longer allows us to grow and evolve spiritually, and thereby has reached its expiration date.

Whatever the uprooting (transition) forms itself to be, it can help us redefine who we were and move us towards who we are truly meant to become. We can take baby steps or giant leaps. Each experience is different and holds its own potential within the transformational process.

An uprooting (transformation) brings with it a need to transform something that no longer serves us. It often takes us out of our comfort zone and may propel us into the unknown. It requires us to dig deep within in order to bring forth courage and trust to keep moving forward, while having little control over the outcome. Like a change, it requires us to put something into action but an uprooting (transition) comes with an inner spark. It affects us differently and awakens parts of ourselves needed to integrate with the spiritual transformation it brings. It is also possible that not all of
