The Caterpiller is speaking…

The Caterpillar has been is one animal totem that has been showing up (on me literally ) in the last week. It all started last saturday where I intended to spend the afternoon driving with the top down, enjoying the amazing weather while showing my niece around the city. Yet early  that afternoon as I am a leaving my metaphysics class I get into a small car accident. At the point, my day completely shifted into one that I had not intended for. My car ended up getting towed away,  it wasn’t entirely safe to drive it. I was able to get dropped off. When I finally walked into my house I come to realize that I left my phone in the car of  those who were kind enough to drop us off. One more frustration added to the day…

With that, I decided to take Buddha out for a walk ( I needed to be outside and breathe some fresh air) as I walked I began to notice that I was allowing my thoughts to feed into the emotions of how the day had turned out. Trying to figure out why this day transpired as it did?  I was feeling a bit stressed out yet I tried to shake it off. When I  felt a nudge within, a feeling that told me to just throw myself on the grass and lay there for minute or two. At first, I pushed back at the feeling; then I was like what the hell and I threw myself unto the grass, looked up at the sky and I breathed in a few times to ground myself and release all my tension. I got back up and continued to walk with Buddha & Krystle.  And to be honest it helped, shortly after I did that I observed my emotions become clam enough to where I could now hear a glimpse of my higher self speaking within. (Usually when one experiences strong and heavy emotions it take us out of our peaceful center making it hard to hear the quiet voice of our higher self) because emotions focus us in time and space.

I reminded myself that life was giving me the opportunity to demonstrate to myself who I am & who I want to be? With that thought, I chose to let my worries go and to know that everything is working in harmony for my highest good even when it may not seem like it is. I was now open to receive whatever message or lesson this day was bringing me. Later that night, I stepped into my bathroom when I look over at my pants hanging on the towel rack and to my surprise what do I find?? A large  caterpillar on my pants. I found that to be so strange yet cool. I chose to see that as a sign from the Universe confirming that everything is on track…

Now comes this past weekend on Saturday March 31 my niece and I took buddha to the river. We hiked around for a bit when we found a sweet spot to sit on ( a large rock cave that was high up) later on Krystle finds a caterpillar on her shirt so we enjoyed the time with the caterpillar and took some pictures.

Now it  gets a little peculiar when on Sunday I go out to have brunch with a friend and when we are getting ready to leave the restaurant I notice a caterpillar is on my jeans LOL… I couldn’t help but laugh at the moment and say WOW what is the coincidence of that?… I enjoyed being able to experience & having the awareness of something that may seem so small & insignificant to some. Yet finding a caterpillar on you not one time but three times; shows me all of the ways life can speak to us…

Krystle & the Caterpillar

The message for me is just as in the infant stage of the caterpillar prior to transformation, teaches patience that all things will come to fruition in nature’s time and not before.  Reminding me that I am on my path & I must not get restless, the transitions I seek are coming to fruition. The transformation is closer than I realize. We live in a world of constant change  and just as a butterfly does I must keep make my way in faith,embracing the change that comes, and emerge from the transitions as brilliantly as the butterfly.

Everything in your life is teaching you about yourself. Do not make yourself wrong if you have a lot turbulence in your life; see it as an opportunity to grow and know more about yourself. Moments of trouble/crises offer us opportunities to reach the deepest level of our being and know our Higher Self in new ways; often that is why we create them. 

Love, Light & progress for your soul,
