Affirmation
I am able to stay in a place of love and trust, even during the most ruthless transformations.
Description
Transformation is a radical, extreme change in your life. It’s a process of undoing and rebuilding. The transformational process of a caterpillar into a butterfly has a phase where the caterpillar turns into a bag of goo, before being rebuilt into a butterfly.
Sign
This sign takes you to the deepest corners of your being. It can feel empty, dark, silent, alone, and you can feel un- certain of what comes next. You might even “think” you’re dying and in a sense this is true. The old you is gone, and a new you is being born. This is transformation.
Meaning
Just like the butterfly, our inner and outer transformational processes can feel like a complete undoing of all that we were. We turn into the bag of goo, in a metaphorical sense, which can make us feel completely lost, anxious or that we just don’t know what to do with ourselves. This can feel incredibly uncomfortable and make us act in ways that are not us. It can make us believe that we might die in the process. This is just the transformed pattern playing out in your system, so it can be released. The not knowing can be frightening, but the more of the old that is released, the better the circumstances that will be coming your way. Breathe and allow the transformation to happen, however uncomfortable. On the other end of it, you’ll find you turned into a butterfly and have gained the ability to fly!
