Welcome to this guided meditation called I connect to the butterfly.

Let's begin.

Please get comfortable,

Seated or lay down if you wish.

And closing your eyes,

Thank you.

And I invite you to picture the image of any butterfly you wish.

As you hold that breath still for 7 seconds now.

Feel the breath with slow exhale and slow inhales.

Now let's deepen the connection to the butterfly and understanding the image connected with each 4 stages of its life before it takes flight in the big world.

Yes the 4 stages,

The egg,

The caterpillar,

The chrysalis and finally the butterfly.

Also butterflies are not only pretty to look at but also have meaning.

Representing spiritual rebirth,

Transformation,

Hope and change.

The magnificent yet short life of the butterfly serves to remind us that life is short.

Even minor changes can trigger what is also referred to as the butterfly effect.

And that small wing flotations can have a decisive impact on the weather.

Example,

A butterfly flapping its wings in South America can affect the weather in Central Park.

This is over 3000 miles.

And what would happen if there were no butterflies?

Without them there would simply be no chocolates to enjoy.

No apples to crunch.

No coffee to drink and no coffee shops.

And other foods that have become our daily comforts.

Almost 75% of the food crops worldwide depend on these pollinators.

Now please picture the monarch butterfly of orange and black lacy wings.

For example,

Travels great distances every year.

Each year around October,

Monarch butterflies migrate south and west for that warmer weather.

The discovery proves that the 2 inch butterfly can migrate nearly 2500 miles from Europe,

Traversing such obstacles as the Mediterranean Sea,

North Africa's mountain and the Sahara Desert.

Yes this humble butterfly reaches heights of a mile or two in the air,

Catching that air current that the world is made of.

So let's begin with the butterfly in you.

And how significant is the first cycle,

The egg.

How this relates to being born,

And being born to parents,

To the family tree,

Your roots.

And as we absorb like a sponge,

A lot of belief systems of how things were and are and should be.

What is wonderful through the journey of life is indeed about change and changes through time itself.

Remember life is all about change.

So we can let go of possible hardship that stems back to the past,

The egg itself.

Or beliefs of anything that stems from a low vibration of well that's just the way it is.

But we know as humans we are all about transformation,

About hope,

Inspiration and support from all angles.

Right here is an example of support.

So the egg of the butterfly moves onto the second cycle,

The caterpillar.

And here we are moving through life and hungry for it.

We are full of adventure as young ones and some lessons of life.

Some paths in life are not all roses.

So we are in a sense finding out about life and finding out about ourselves.

And I love the very word gifts.

Finding out what you're gifted at.

And then we do in a way work and serve each other at what we are good or passionate about.

There is no age limit to as to when one will shine and no this is the real happy self.

Doing what brings joy,

Pride and rewards.

For the next cycle the caterpillar enters the third stage,

The cocoon.

After all that moving around and feasting on food and life itself.

A time to go within and decide what you really will finally become.

So when this cycle is completed you feel that you can really fly.

And such a strong statement gaining your wings.

Things that are often decorated in many colours tells the world who you are now.

And so another journey that seems no bounds for you are not crawling around as such.

You are lifted to a higher vibration.

For some it's this time when many things have already happened and you know yourself better.

And even the downs have given you skills to be stronger.

Gaining your tools so to speak.

Let's connect to the breath once more by holding it still for 7 seconds now.

Feel that breath smooth and long.

And picturing now your own butterfly journey.

The images in the mind of the great butterfly that is yourself.

With the 4 stages in life.

So please connect first now to that egg.

Picture your egg.

It's okay not to see perfection.

Acknowledge any flaws in that egg.

But,

But you are ever changing to greatness.

So please change that image to a sound happy egg right now.

And connect to the second stage.

The caterpillar.

Picture your caterpillar.

Again it's okay not to see perfection.

And acknowledge here any flaws at this stage of life.

But you are ever changing into greatness.

So please change that image to a sound happy caterpillar now.

And connect thirdly to that cocoon.

Yours.

Look acknowledge for it's still okay not to see perfection.

But you are ever changing greatness.

So change that image to a sound happy cocoon now.

Finally the fourth stage.

Connect to that butterfly.

Your butterfly appearing and unfolding itself out the cocoon.

And again it's okay not to see perfection.

Then ready because I'm telling you,

You are great at changing.

So change that image to a happy sound butterfly now.

Now see your butterfly wings opening again.

Breathe deeply into these precious wings.

Breathe deeply into your unique colours again.

Breathe deeply into your unique patterns.

Be aware how powerful you are with flight as your direction.

Watch your wings simply come alive thinking of all the things you love from the heart to be.

Now ask this wonderful butterfly to land on your human head.

And feel it softly upon your head.

Let it feed the mind magical way of how to live and reach those heights in life.

Feel,

Feel playful capture the image of your unique butterfly into your higher heart.

Let it remind you how beautifully gifted and unique you and each of us are.

Feel a powerful peace in your being that sings the song of life.

In a way we are all equal in that we are all great at something.

We all serve each other with our own unique gifts.

And for a moment simply see billions of butterflies becoming one.

This makes the world a beautiful,

A powerful,

A wonderful place to live each day in.

Now your wings may be delicate because they belong to a higher vibration,

Lightness,

Lightness to reach amazing heights and you have the tools to be a great butterfly.

Let's seal this all in physically now.

Just allow your physical fingers to move and flutter freely and with a physical slow stretch and with the human arms in slow motion style rise your arms like two wings sealing in now and connected now to butterfly.

Thank you.

Let's awaken to the count of seven.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five,

Six,

Seven.

Waking up now,

Unfolding the body,

Opening,

Opening your eyes,

Eyes wide open,

Full of life.

Thank you.
