Your Spirit Totem of Transformation: The Caterpillar

“Caterpillar holds the grand dream of being all it can be, it reaches out to become its greatest expression of self, spirit & soul. Putting everything aside, it follows the drive to evolve. Caterpillar teaches us to do the same, to find power to transform in deep meditation, to go into the cocoon and emerge as a greater aspect of self... Believing in the possibilities that with faith all things great and small are possible, and to remember that the grand & beautiful things have very humble beginnings.” ~ Presley Love A spiritual transformation or up-level is much like the caterpillar’s evolution to butterfly; one in which you take flight into a new reality and way of being in the world.  As a caterpillar you are seeking and exploring possibilities for your transformation. You start to question your thinking and belief system. Why have I always done it this way? Is there another way to look at this? Is this my belief or something that was passed down to me? What do I want from my life at this phase? These are the types of questions that surface during this time of inner exploration.  As you start to identify with a new vision for your life, you move onto the chrysalis phase. Here you’re aligning with this vision, determining what’s most important to you, deciding your truth, learning new things, setting goals/intending, connecting to your intuition and taking inspired action. This cocooning phase is such a beautiful time. I feel a bit like I’m currently in this phase as I start to shift from the person I thought I should be, to the person I have always wanted to be--but until now, didn’t have the eyes to see. So much is changing this year and I am excited to gradually share everything with all of you. (PS thank you for being here with me).  And then, before you know it, when all is perfectly aligned, the caterpillar emerges from the safety of its cocoon into the unknown, fully transformed and reborn into the world.  I'm patiently waiting for that time to emerge--but maybe it's more gradual than that?
