Lessons From The Monarch Butterfly:

For my new friends that don't know me very well! I started my research a few months ago on how to help cure my Husbands twin Brother of cancer using natural methods. I was visited by a monarch butterfly every time I felt like I should give up. It was a visual reminder of what the whole picture was about. I believed at the time it was for my brother, but I have come to know that there are many more life's that will be touched by my research. So with that, this is what I found when I researched what the Monarch Butterfly was trying to tell me when this whole research thing began.....

Lessons from the Monarch Butterfly:

The monarch butterfly teaches us that life is short, and that it must be valued. Assuming that we have decades of our lives left (or at the very least, years) is all well and good.

Monarch butterfly asks you to consciously look at what you have gained that is valuable in each day. Monarch butterfly is a guide willing to open your eyes to the beauty and gift of life once more. It is through this that monarch butterfly teaches us how to look for sweetness and light in our lives. 

Have you ever had one of those moments that felt perfect? Where, despite what was going on in your life, everything seemed to come together in one fleeting moment of contentment, happiness and perfection? Monarch butterfly teaches us that all of life is made up of striving for and increasing the number of these moments that we experience, and shows us how to better value and focus on these fleeting moments.

You will be helped at this time by the magic possessed in herbs and flowers. It may be through the healing actions of herbs, and consider increasing your use of them in cooking, taking herbal supplements or even just taking the time to enjoy the scent of herbs under your hands. The power of flowers is also present at this time, consider investing in flower essences, or even making your own. Alternatively, look at and enjoy the presence of flowers in your life. Sometimes just taking the time look at and visually enjoy the bounty of the earth is enough to create powerful healing changes.

They teach people how to proactively seize their own individual opportunities for growth and metamorphosis. At this time, you have great opportunity for phenomenal internal and external changes and transformations.
