IX Dynamic Attunement 202

Quantum Leap in short:

Wood represents the next phase of the cycle. In this phase, the concentrated energy developed in the Water phase explodes outward, starting a new period of activity. Spring is the season for the Wood phase. Wood energy rises and expands, resulting in what some experience as "spring fever". Wood is New Yang. This is a time of creation and growth.


A momentum for a shift into a new level.

Threat: Fear of confronting new and unknown territory (or actually, we don’t fear the unknown, we fear to let go of what we know), return to the old patterns and the previous level of the skill.

Opportunity: A dramatic change into a new existence overnight.

Conversation between the authors
Discussing the Quantum Leap and the Shift

Collin: Cristina, do you think that the readers understand the difference between the Quantum Leap and the Shift?
Cristina: Yes, you are right. It is difficult to distinguish between these two. What do you suggest?
Collin: Maybe we could say that: “the Quantum Leap is a moment of new understanding – a new groundwork to begin a new phase. It is a thought “now I am ready to start a new Major Groove”. The Shift, on the other hand, is to act upon the discovery.” What do you think?
