Do you Need to Create a Chrysalis?

Reading Time: 4 minutes Do you Need to Create a Chrysalis? I want to share with you the magic of my most recent shamanic performance that took place on Sunday, May 17th in New York. I just emerged from my ceremonial chrysalis and did a magical Butterfly Dance. This was an in-depth ceremony for me as well as a shamanic performance and journey for the women in the audience. I first wrote a poem and then danced it. The poem was a shamanic journey through the process of creating my chrysalis, feeding on it to become my dream and finally emerging as my embodied potential. “But what is this chrysalis?” you may ask. In nature, the chrysalis is the new skin that the caterpillar builds in order to nurture and protect its transformation into butterfly. The Sacred Feminine School of Wisdom teaches us that women also need to create a chrysalis to nurture and protect our transformation. Throughout time, there have been different ceremonies, rites or special places for women to do this, from the Moon Lodge to the Red Tent. If you are [Read more.]

ARTspiration No. 60-Caterpillar Growth

Reading Time: 2 minutes ARTspiration No. 6- Caterpillar Growth   “To become Butterfly the Caterpillar needs to stretch her imagination until she grows out of her confines.” Maria Mar Extended Tip: A lot of us want to achieve success and manifest our dreams, but refuse to change or release old learned limitations. This refusal is nothing short of a choice to stay trapped in what you do NOT want! Caterpillar is hungry and she eats ravenously. This is about satisfying your hunger for growth, wisdom and freedom. As Caterpillar grows, she does not fit into her old skin anymore. She needs to molt. She grows a new skin from within. Then she releases the old outer skin, and now she has room for growth. This is the second instar, the caterpillar that emerges after a mold. Caterpillars often go through five such cycles, growing about 300 times their original size. this is about releasing your psychic exoskeleton, your old limitations, stories and beliefs so that you can grow into the freedom, success and potential you long for.

We do things to change things in our external environment. But it does not work like that, and Butterfly shows us why. Our wings grow from within, through Internal Actions, like allowing, receiving, releasing, embracing. They grow through our change of perception and the release of old stories. They grow by us embracing and owning our gifts, authority and influence in the world.
