The Journey to BECOME

When a butterfly emerges, does it remember it used to be a caterpillar?

Does the butterfly remember it’s journey through the process of metamorphosis that took place ? I don’t know the answer.

What I do know is, as humans we have memory, both in our body and in our intellect.

Sometimes those memories slow down the process.

Our memories of who we knew ourselves to be sometimes trick us into believing the change happening is not real, not possible or just a dream.

We remember the process we went through that shaped who we ‘know’ ourselves to be, and, we remember the process we engage that invites us to become more!

What if…

What if we were to consider being like the butterfly and begin again as our new SELF emerges? What if we release ourselves from the memories of who we thought ourselves to be…or who others think we are, and Imagine who we are becoming? Use the present moment as the guidepost.

The caterpillar is unaware it’s journey is to BECOME the Butterfly…AND… The Butterfly only knows itself as ‘that’!

Until the next time!

Day 5 MML – The Process

Insights

I don’t know why I’m surprised at what I reveal to mySELF every day. Manifesting a Meaningful Life is a process where we allow the SIGNAL that we are to find us…this is not a static thing, it shifts and evolves.

Evoultion is not a static process. It requires the courage to begin again, and again, and again…to allow ourSELF to let go of EVERYTHING we think and believe we know and step into the unknown of our unfolding.

The words that shaped my evolution today include: PROCESS, TRUST, ESSENCE, and SECRET

I AM SILENCE

There is an ANCIENT WISDOM in the SILENCE of our BEING.

Day 3 MML The Unfolding

Insights

Day 3 has almost come to a close. It began early this morning. We had not even had our coffee or tea and we hit the ground running. Lots moving, thoughts emerging, and signals landing with such ease, well for some of us. And a knowing that each of us is here to engage our own process of discovery.

I could feel a massive shift occurring from deep within the core…then to hear of 5 volcanos eurupting.

Noticing how we see ‘natural occurrences’ as disasters. When in fact volcano’s europting creates new land masses, and new opportunities for growth.

The words that caught my attention from flow of our conversations included:

The Meaning of SAFE Part 2

Insights

The exploration of the word ‘safe’ continues to be important as new insights and awareness awaken in what seems to be every breath I take. The recent comment on my first blog on ‘The Meaning of the word SAFE’ got me curious, and provided an invitation for me to move closer to unlocking mine.

“The WEL-System process includes learning that you are safe in your body and with its sensations, and yet if some people are using the idea of being SAFE as protected, sheltered or guarded then surely this will limit their ability to be vulnerable and open, as the purpose of the process is to produce the exact opposite effect, that is to be open to your body and it’s sensations, learning to trust that it’s all just information being processed.” ~Christopher McBean~

As this comment rumbled through me I began to feel the layers unfold inside. Questions:

Are we open to knowing the sensations in our bodies are just energy and information? Perhaps, yes.
Are we open to allowing the energy and information to move? Maybe yes, and maybe not so much.

It’s Time to Rise

Insights

I came across this blog, rise like the phoenix and sing your fire song, and it spoke to me on so many levels.

It has been two weeks today since I returned from an amazing gathering in Nova Scotia where I opened the doorway inside myself to a world that had been waiting; waiting for me to discover, I believe, from the day I was born.

It has been quite the journey to get here, requiring lessons in abandonment, loneliness, infertility, marriage, separation, divorce, owning my rage, and beliefs of being dangerous, discovering feelings, allowing vulnerability and compassion for myself, owning, and finally, revelling in my intensity…just to name a few. As I look back I can see the stepping stones, each one laid out in front of me just waiting for me to take the step or to make the leap. Each time I chose to leap my world changed; each time I chose to not leap the stone re-emerged at another time. We are always moving towards our greatest SELF, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.
