It all starts with a tiny egg,
Laid by a female butterfly on a specific host plant,
Suitable for the future caterpillar's diet.
These eggs can vary in color,
Shape and size depending on the species.
The incubation period typically lasts a few days to a few weeks.
Dear meditator,
I'm going to take you on a journey with me of transformation.
So I hope you're ready.
And if you're not,
That's still okay.
We're going to go very slow and very patiently.
There is nothing to rush.
Take a moment with me and sit somewhere peaceful and comfortable.
You can sit under a tree or lay on the ground.
Sometimes I even like to close my eyes under the water of my shower and just visualize.
Whatever you choose to do and wherever you choose to be,
I want you to take a very deep breath and release patiently.
Take another deep breath and release.
Close your eyes and linger in a moment of silence in preparation for a journey that I want to take you.
You can imagine a time from before you were born.
Can you?
Imagine that you don't exist yet.
You are nowhere and everywhere at the same exact time,
A probability,
A possibility and perhaps an assumption.
Just like the void from before the caterpillar or butterfly were ever on this planet.
And in your comfort and relaxation,
I want you to come with me.
You and I are floating in space where all exists and doesn't at the same exact time.
We are floating in the green fields of freedom,
Floating in space between the stars and the unexplored realms of this universe.
And of all the universes and all possibilities,
One butterfly decides,
You decide that it is perhaps a life worth living.
On a green and blue planet that you want to experience.
Let's think back to the moment of your creation.
How magnificent is this decision that a round egg and a dose of nutrition make an egg,
An incubator,
A home for you to be.
And so you become.
Come with me.
This is the egg.
Before you were ever placed in a womb,
You had your own home made of white shell.
You are a butterfly to be,
But before you are anything,
You are the decision.
You are the choice.
And in your definite existence,
I want you to float inside the shell,
The walls of your new home and touch every round corner.
I want you to swim in your own glory and beneath all of that glorious formation that protects you and breathe in and out.
I want you to ask yourself,
Why did I decide to come here?
Who did I ever want to be?
And what have I forgotten about life?
Take a moment to swim in those questions,
In the space where you've just begun to exist.
This is where we begin the journey of a butterfly.
And before you can open your eyes,
My dear meditator,
Let's become.
Repeat after me.
I am.
I am.
I am.
I decide,
Therefore,
I am.
I float in my own creation,
Therefore,
I am.
I breathe in,
And I breathe out,
And so I am.
