A man found a butterfly cocoon. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we were allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!
As you go into your fully relaxed meditation mode, imagine you are in a cocoon. Imagine that it is the physical representation of some challenge in your life that seems to have you trapped. First, get present to that feeling of being stuck. Then start to think about what you have done or are going to do to breakthrough. Think the thoughts, feel the feelings, and do the actions necessary to get out of that stuck situation. And as your non-conscious mind reveals to you what to think, feel and do; imagine you are seeing the light and breaking through the cocoon. Maybe that’s why we call it a breakthrough. Then feel how great it feels to be unstuck, to fly.
I HAD A BREAKTHROUGH AND THAT’S HOW I FLEW
