What Butterfly offers you

Butterfly means that transformation is always available to you and can begin without your conscious participation. Study the process of metamorphosis. What stage are you in?

(1) Are you in the conception stage, just beginning a process of change?

(2) Be clear about what you want the end result to be! Have you fully decided to do it?

(3) Is it in the planning or development stage? Create the change?

(4) Or are you about to bring change to life, give birth to it?

“Whatever part of the cycle you are in, be it the larval stage, the cocoon stage, or the emergent stage, where you spread your wings and float off into your new life, know that you are safe and that this It’s part of a natural movement.” –Steven D. Farmer, Ph.D., How to connect with your animal spirit guide

(2) Go outside and enjoy watching the butterflies dance. Dance yourself!
