The story of becoming a butterfly…

Imagine you are a caterpillar wondering through the Forest of Loving Awareness. Suddenly you feel an immense unexplained pressure from within your skin. You resist this pressure but this resistance causes pain. Without reason you feel a primal urge to secure yourself, embracing for something imminent. You climb up a branch, spin a silken thread and hang upside down; then you wait..

In the next few hours your skin begins to strangely change. You have started to molting your caterpillar skin and a hard exoskeleton develops all around your body. In no time you are locked in a tight dark chrysalis, similar to a cocoon.

As the minutes, turn to hours you begin to feel utterly alone, depressed and hopeless in the darkness. Just when you give up any reason to even live another moment you get another urging. You feel a surge of strength from within, that you have never felt before. You begin to break free of the chrysalis and in time immerge as gorgeous butterfly.

We all need to go through dark moments of our life, to shed the past and emerge transform by the experience. Now is a time of magic. Let the universe take your hand and show you things you have never seen before from a new perspective and wings.
