What Does The Butterfly Symbolize?
Transformation, new beginnings, growth, rebirth and the cycle of life. WE are like butterflies for we are constantly changing. Life is about change, if there is no change then there is no learning, and with out that we can not grow. LIfe the ultimate challenge is not a race to the finish, but rather a process of continual growth!!! Growing from all areas, physical, spiritual, emotional and mental. That is why I love helping people, I love to see my friends & clients change, letting go of their fears, loving themselves, healing themselves; thus assisting them in feeling better about themselves.
Scientific research has shown that the butterfly is the only living being capable of changing entirely its genetic structure during the process of transformation: the caterpillar's DNA is totally different from the butterfly's. Thus, it is the symbol of total transformation.
Butterfly represents a need for change and greater freedom, and at the same time it represents courage: one requires courage to carry out the changes necessary in the process of growth.
You may be at the egg stage, which is the beginning of all things. This is the stage at which an idea is born, but has not yet become a reality.
The larva stage is the point at which you decide to create the idea in the physical world.
The cocoon stage involves "going within"; doing or developing your project, idea, or aspect of personality.
The final stage of transformation or transmutation is the leaving of the chrysalis and birth.
The last step involves sharing the colors and joy of your creation with the world.
