From Egg to Butterfly: Allow Your Innate Majesty to Emerge

Allow??

How do I allow? What does it really mean to allow?" you might ask. 

How do we cultivate that space where the 'doing' effortlessly flows from 'being'? 

Imagine the delicate journey of a butterfly, starting as a mere fertilized egg.

It's as if everything is inscribed in its very essence—the colors of its wings, the shape of its body, its unique beauty.

As an egg, it's a realm of potential, waiting to unfurl.

Once upon a time, you were also a 'mere' fertilized egg. You were a realm of potential, waiting to unfurl.

And you, just like a butterfly egg, needed favourable conditions to develop into the potential insribed in every cell.

Do you worry about your transformation? I understand. We know instinctively, when the circumstances are not exactly 'favourable'. But don't worry! You can create the 'favourable circumstance' for yourself (but not by yourself...)

Just as the egg doesn't worry about becoming, you too can find hope in the unfolding of your journey.

As an egg, you're not very powerful, and that's perfectly fine. 

Even if a goat comes and nibbles on the leaf you rest upon, it's a part of your narrative. Your purpose evolves alongside every experience.

How does this resonate within you? 

Does it stir emotions, perhaps even create a tinge of discomfort? Embrace those feelings, for they're part of the process.

And just like the egg's vulnerability, you might find yourself in seemingly powerless situations. Yet, these moments hold their significance.

Remember the next phase, the caterpillar's appetite, its transformation into a plump creature—impressive in its growth.

So, how do you feel now? Are you experiencing the same plumpness, an energy that seems to slow you down? Or do you feel insatiable? Embrace it. This stage is essential.

Just as caterpillars aren't always favoured by gardeners, you too might feel misunderstood. 

You're nourishing your spirit, seeking sustenance amid life's challenges as best as you can. 

Now, consider the caterpillar's journey. Will it worry about its path? If a bird doesn't choose it as a meal, the caterpillar embarks on a journey of its own—a 'walkabout' to find the perfect spot to 'hang'.

It surrenders itself to nature's magic, forming a chrysalis that protects its metamorphosis. Resting in this cocoon, a different kind of transformation unfolds. 

How does that resonate with you? Can you relate to the moments of stillness and surrender in your own life?

Contemplate your current state, drop your thoughts into your heart.

Who are you in this very moment? 

Are you an egg, a caterpillar, or something more intangible—an intricate mix of cells and possibilities? 

Sense into your own identity crisis with a sense of curiosity. Are you ready to embrace the 'mush' within, to accept your vulnerability? It's all part of the process of growth and transformation.

Remember that allowing movement isn't always a passive act. When it's time to emerge, it's an inner movement—a dance of existence that we actively participate in. 

As we embrace this emergence, we align ourselves with the rhythm of life. 

Whether it's the struggle of emerging from a chrysalis or the victory of a first flight, it's all part of the unfurling of majesty that resides within you.

Embrace your innate majesty, the strength and beauty that reside within you.
