lyrics

Sit relaxed and alert, with eyes closed or slightly open, whatever serves you best today. To centre yourself, take 3 deep breaths –breathe in deeply … breathe out. And then two more deep breaths.

After your 3 deep breaths, continue breathing in a natural way.

“A caterpillar, longing to fly, wrapped itself in a cocoon and dreamed of wings.”

Visualise a caterpillar, wrapped in its cocoon – hanging by a silvery thread from the underside of a leaf, attached to a tall tree. This tree is one of a circle of trees. Bring yourself to stand in the middle of this circle of magnificent trees. Create in your mind a place that is your private domain, a sacred space where you can enjoy being alone and feeling safe and protected.

Picture or sense the environment. The texture of tree bark. All the varying shades of green leaves and grasses.
From the blue sky above you shafts of sunlight reach down through the leaves, forming intricate shadow patterns on the land. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, so soothing.

This environment is teeming with life. Trees and plants. Birds of all kinds. Beetles and butterflies.

Watch as a butterfly weaves a path through the air in front of you, and lands on a nearby bush. Its wings slowly folding and opening, like some dreamy dance. Hold out your hand, inviting the butterfly to land on your finger. There. How precious is this little creature. So light and gentle. Something in you identifies with this beautiful little being, once an earth-bound caterpillar, longing to be its best self, and now, a butterfly.

Allow the moment to pass. The butterfly flutters away.

“A caterpillar longing to fly, wrapped itself in a cocoon and dreamed of wings.”

And you? What do you long to change in yourself? Is there some way of being, or thinking, or feeling, that no longer serves you?

What is calling you to be the best that you can be?

Choose something about yourself – something you’d like to empower through meditation. Create a vision of your best self, your highest self. Your potential.

Change is as natural as the seasons, as natural as a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.

Sit in your quiet power – awaken your highest self.
Dream of being the best that you can be … and let your wings unfold.

This meditation is coming to a close. Ground yourself by taking 3 deep breaths in and out.
And when you’re ready, open your eyes.
