The Cacoon of Transformation

Below are three short stories that may speak to you<3

The Moth: 
Once upon a time I was at my old apartment, and outside of my door there was a bright shining light with a moth attached to it. The apartment was set up so that the hallways were completely open to the outside. I watched this moth stick to this really ugly light for weeks. It just wouldn’t leave. All it had to do was walk into the dark hallway and right around the corner there was a wide open space making it super easy for the moth to be free to wander to literally go anywhere. There were many openings and exits this moth could have taken. 

But nope it wanted this light and no other light. The light wasn’t even a real light! It was an ugly bright light that I wanted to smash if I could. The moth just could not take the chance, it could not see the way out past this artificial light. I felt sad for the moth, and I realized this moth is just trying to survive and play it safe and it just doesn’t know! If only the moth could trust and take the chance to fly just a little they could see that they were free to roam the wild!

I slowly gave up on the moth, not because I wanted to but because I began to understand the moth. I felt for the moth. I was the moth. Then one day, the moth was on my door. As I flung my door open, I watched the moth FINALLY go outside to the wide open space and be free. I was so happy. And then I think a few days later, another moth returned. I saw other moths near other lights. I didn’t get why they were so stuck on these lights when the outdoors was right there.

 But this is in our nature. This is the cycle. We break free from what’s safe to go outside, until the next thing and then maybe we get a push to go out into the wild once more, and then we find the next thing. This is life. There is nothing wrong with where you are at. This is the cycle of life. It’s natural to want to hold on to what’s safe. But we totally don’t have to.. We don’t know what’s around the corner. Sometimes we need a push to be able to see it though.

The Butterfly and the Cocoon:
Sometimes we find ourselves deep in the cocoon. We can be so deep in the cocoon, we have no idea how to get out. Or when to get out. Sometimes we feel like we may stay way too long cocooning . 

When the hell am I going to be a god damn butterfly? When am I going to leave this cocoon and do I even want to leave? Do I want to go into the outside world? Not really, it sucks. The process of coming out of the cocoon is HARD. It takes SO much energy. 

“But I can’t stay in the cocoon forever,” said the butterfly. “I have to spread my wings and fly. I have to go see the world, smell the flowers and butterfly with the others. I want to be pretty, I want to be part of the earth. This cocoon is lonely ! But there is comfort in loneliness and I don’t want to leave! I am warm and cozy and I don’t know what life will be like when I am out. Will I be safe? How long am I going to be here? When is it time to go? How will I know? I am so scared to go outside. Will I get eaten?”

It’s normal to be afraid of coming out of the cocoon! But this is nature! Nature will eventually push us out of the cocoon. Sure there will be pressure, but nature happens whether we like it or not.

We cannot stay in the cocoon, when we were meant to be a butterfly.  

The Moth and The Butterfly:
The moth says “I am ugly, no one wants to look at me. I am not pretty, I leave weird smells and everyone hates me. I have a bad reputation, and I am dark. I like my artificial light, I like the night. “ 

 The butterfly says “I am scared to leave my cocoon. I just want to fly on the flowers and be beautiful and enjoy my life. I want to fly in the clouds next to my sunshine. See the beauty of life. I just want to be happy, joyous and free and go where I want to go.”

    The moth is enraged that the butterfly is cocooning too! Both go through the process of being reborn into the world. But the moth is pissed that the butterfly looks different. “Why am I not the butterfly? Hey butterfly stop doing what I’m doing can’t you see I’m in my goddamn cocoon and it's mine and my space. Go flutter elsewhere.”

   But the butterfly sees the moth for what it actually is. “Hey fellow moth, we are from the same animal family. You are much needed don’t you see.” 

  The moth wants to be left alone, but the butterfly wants to fly away. How can they work together and coexist and love each other at the same time? They both transform and have to fly.

Sometimes our transformations are dark and sometimes they are sunshine and flowers. We don’t know. But we need the butterfly and the moth so the ecosystem can be harmonious. When we give up the moth to be a butterfly, we lose a part of ourselves. And when we never become the butterfly due to fear, then we never reach our highest potential and can miss out on a truly fulfilling beautiful life. Sometimes we are the butterfly, and sometimes we are the moth. More times often than not, we are both. 

The moth needs to accept the moth for what it is and not hate the butterfly for being a butterfly. The butterfly must continue to break free no matter what the moth says or does. And be the butterfly and be herself. The butterfly must not try to make the moth into a butterfly when the moth is supposed to be just the way it is. There is nothing wrong with being the moth, and there is  nothing wrong with being the butterfly. They are both equal and valuable in their own way. Both are necessary for transformation. Honor the moth AND the butterfly. Integrate both!

Akasha means Ether or Space in sanskrit. Ether cannot and will not be contained. While there is a vast amount of information to be accessed here; sometimes we may seek to know something that is not of our highest good to know. In that case, we must remain in integrity and let Spirit handle what we desire to know to be true. Akasha is the space of Om. The Animal Medicine aligned with the Akashic Records is the Whale.

When we first open your Akashic Records, we welcome the Masters, Teachers and Loved ones. These are your Akashic Guide Team. Guidance channeled within the records may come through clairvoyance, claircognizant, clairaudient, clairsentient, or in other forms. Popular themes to inquire about within the records can be accessing your ancestral lineage and doing a large amount of healing work this way. Bringing relationships (romantic, friend, coworker) into the Records and looking at the soul contract or agreement and seeing if there is something there from other lifetimes as well as what is here for you in the now is another great thing to inquire about. 

Going into your Akashic Records with a clear intention can provide an access point to a vast amount of other information you never would intend to know about! For example, maybe you have an annoying pain in your left shoulder. We can go into your records and maybe we find various themes from past lives contributing to this pain that can be cleared, maybe we find fragments within your ancestry, or perhaps there is a soul contract that needs to be cleared in order to move forward. We are also able to access guidance in the 3D. Our Akashic Guide team can provide us with an abundance of ideas about what to do in 3D and other times they provide us with a clear path. Again, Ether cannot be contained. Although it is highly suggested to come to an Akashic Reading with a clear intention, there are times where our intention brings us to deeper levels of healing and sometimes what is most needed is to receive healing from your Akashic Guide Team and just BE with what is!  

It is best to go into an Akashic Session with no expectations as this opens the door to receiving what is available to you at the moment. Hard to do! I know! Most importantly, be open minded to the information being received. Sometimes our guides give us something that makes no sense at all. We have complete free will to follow the guidance or not but most times often than not, that wacky guidance is exactly what we need to follow for the breakthrough we are seeking! 

After an Akashic Reading, you may feel expansive, confused, overwhelmed, peaceful, found, lost, sad, angry, or happy! There is no right or wrong way to feel and no Akashic Reading will ever be the same; even if you have been working with the same issue for some time. Things evolve and our guidance evolves with the changes. There is no black and white, no right or wrong, there simply just IS. 

It is ok to be patient with yourself as it will take time to integrate your session into your 3D reality. When on the journey  to soul embodiment and awakening, it is important to know that these things take time to manifest. Remember we are trying to bring something vast that cannot be contained …into 3D embodiment. The paradox is real; and bringing the 5D into the 3D is just not that simple. In the 5D things can seem so blissful at times and our 3D reality can seem so messy. It’s ok to co-exist and it does not mean you are doing anything wrong. In fact, you are exactly where you're supposed to be! 

The Akashic Records are a wonderful tool to be used for transformation, self realization, empowerment and embodiment. Spirit works in magical and mysterious ways and while we are in a space where there is literally everything to know; it is just as important for us to “let go of the need to know” and just receive what is available to us in each moment of our present reality. 

Akashic Owl offers Akashic Readings that include an Animal Card Medicine along with Energy Clearing. It is ok to feel exactly how you feel after a session. Sometimes we may find the energy moving and or processing from the session days, weeks, or months after the session took place. Sometimes transformation can take a second and sometimes it just takes time. When we are transmuting dense energies, transformation can take time, other times things can shift in an instant! Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. All is well either way! Everyone is unique and no one will have the same experience as integrating energy is an individual experience.
