ABOUT
The Butterfly
"With the butterfly's wings cut short, its wings were hopelessly unformed."
The butterfly theme embedded within "Becoming the Whole You" was inspired by the book "When the Heart Waits: Spiritual Direction for Life's Sacred Questions" by Sue Monk Kidd. She defines soul as psyche and says that it is often symbolized as a butterfly. Her analogy between the soul and a butterfly metamorphosing captured the essence of what it entails to endure the process to pursue wholeness.
The journey to wholeness is a uniquely personal and beautiful experience that requires cocooning before the transformation. The mission of Becoming the Whole You is to provide the psychological tools you need to assist you throughout your cocooning transformational journey on your way to pursuing wholeness.
From the words of author Sue Monk Kidd:
"For over a year I lived and worked inwardly with the symbology of caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly, I accepted them as God's gift to me - healing symbols that went beyond the usual sentimentality to mediate grace and move us toward change."
"We discover that the only way to achieve newness is to read our own obituary - to die to the old and open the door to the knock of waiting, to allow ourselves to be sheathed in the experience of incubating what needs to be born. We find that we must trust the process enough to go into the circle and stay there until the time comes for an emergency."
