Butterfly Spirit Animal ~ Master of tapping into new realities...

The Butterfly spirit animal comes to you when you are on the precipice of great change in your life.   

You can also call upon the spirit of the Butterfly to help guide you and give you strength and inspiration when you anticipate change coming and you want to rise to the challenge with a new sense of purpose and being.

Are you embarking upon a journey of transformation?  Are you ready to take on something that could feel like a metamorphosis? 

The beautiful Butterfly is one of the best spirit animal guides to help guide you for this!

The journey of transformation which the Butterfly symbolizes requires going deep into the cocoon of meditation and letting all fears and old wounds be released one by one, so that transformation can take place... in the cocoon you experience release and the freedom from whatever has held you back up to now... in the cocoon of meditation you see new possibilities, new ways of being, you will feel the rapture of being totally set free... with wings to fly. 

Butterfly spirit animal has gone from a caterpillar that is only capable of crawling ever so slowly along on a twig to becoming the magnificent Butterfly that is capable of of taking flight across seas and continents. 

Butterfly symbolism conveys a message of what is possible in our own lives, of going beyond what we believe possible ~ to making the impossible a reality. 

For me, the Butterfly represents what is possible if we set aside our fears and trust that we were meant to transform into greater aspects of ourselves.

Butterfly Totem Animal  
~ A Beautiful totem reminding you to release your fears


This is Butterfly symbolism at it's finest!

Releasing fears is probably the best thing you can ever do for yourself, but it will take great courage and fortitude!

Butterfly totem animal says do not rush the process, you will need to spend time in the cocoon nurturing yourself and healing... and in doing so getting in touch with your innermost feelings and the essence of your soul self. 

We can only imagine the thoughts of the caterpillar as he enters the cocoon, as he makes contact with the essence of his spirit self. 

The moment he enters the cocoon he has let everything he has ever known be left behind as he embraces the rapture of transcendence and complete re-birth. 

In doing this, he has surrendered and he is ready, he trusts in something greater than himself to guide him through. 

Soon Butterfly will have a life filled with new possibilities and a whole new way of living.

If you are born with the Butterfly as your totem animal, your life's purpose and destiny is representative of transformation.   You feel attuned to bringing change, indeed you are being called to bring some kind of change to the world!    Be it big or small, remember the "butterfly effect" - that the fluttering of a Butterflies wings in China, can effect the wind on the other side of the world.  

It could be a new idea, a new invention, or you could change a difficult family dynamic that has been happening for generations, remember that all ideas and actions have a rippling effect, just like dropping a pebble into a still lake.   

You are aware that this may be uncomfortable, but you have drive of the Butterfly to go through the process and emerge in a new way of being and doing.

What does the Butterfly power animal represent?

The Butterfly power animal is all about finding your inner power, and finding the path that leads to your true north.

Calling on the Butterfly will help you release your fears so that you can take the journey to know your true spirit self, to see and to know what you are possible of creating and transforming in your life. 

When you call on the spirit of the Butterfly he/she will be at your side, sitting on your shoulder as you take the meditative journey necessary to release everything that has been holding you back.  This is when a miraculous transformation can take place and you can be set free to live the life you were meant to live, the life you envisioned for yourself at the time of your birth, the life that will clearly be seen in your meditations. 


 A Very Special Magic for the Butterfly 


The magical meaning and power for the Butterfly is "THE MAGIC OF BELIEVING", for believing is the first step in anything you set out to do... if you believe then you will find a way... regardless of obstacles,  if you do not believe you will not see the way, and obstacles will stop you.

Further spiritual and magical meaning of the Butterfly conveys the choice to transcend, and is therefore the greatest symbol of our power to make a choice, to choose our way of being... to choose our paths... to choose our destiny. 

With Butterfly symbolism we are shown that we can reshape and re-sculpt ourselves in mind, body and spirit... this is the elegant example of what we are capable of.
