[WomensWisdom] Transformation...August 9th

~~*~~*~~

Did you know that in the process of becoming a butterfly, the caterpillar literally 'melts', and its DNA is restructured? So from the caterpillar's perspective, its world and life as it knows it, are ending.

Besides being amazing, what does this transformation have to do with you and me?

So much of our suffering and anxiety in life comes from holding on to the old - toxic jobs, beliefs that don't serve us, relationships that are less-than-positive, habits that don't support us, even our views of our Selves.

To give you a real-life example, lately I've been going through some significant change, primarily on my inner landscape, but it can't help and effect my outer world as well. If you give some weight to astrology, it's called a 'paint-stripper' period, where all the old layers are being stripped away.

On my better days, I look at this process as letting go of all the things that no longer serve me. I'm letting go of procrastination, holding back due to fear, paper clutter, disorganization, financial unconsciousness, taking things personally, projects that don't inspire me, and even some relationships. This is a good thing; and with it emerges new, empowering things: follow-thru, taking action in spite of fear, getting organized, financial clarity, BEing love, great visions, and uplifting relationships.

However, some days are really challenging. 'Paint stripping' can be pretty darn uncomfortable. At times I feel restless, like I'm my old skin doesn't fit any more. My sleep has been interrupted and I'm not so happy when I haven't had enough sleep. My normal calm, go-with-the-flow personality has temporarily been replaced with a short-fuse, like I'm hyper-sensitive. And at times, I can't tell what end is up.

How do I handle this? How does the caterpillar handle its transformation?

I could choose to resist this experience and I can be a Master Resistor :D But resisting is what causes suffering. Resisting slows down the process and only delays the inevitable. Resistance is futile, change *IS* happening.

Instead I choose to enjoy the roller coaster ride - the ups, the downs, the scary parts, the fun parts. I choose to be compassionate with my Self and gentle to my body; and take extra good care by increasing my meditation, exercise and healthy eating.

I share my experience with you with the intention that you might see your Self and relate. That by realizing that you have a choice as to how you want to handle your own transformation, you can relieve your suffering and anxiety. That together we can transform into butterflys and bring our new found beauty and gifts to the world.
