There is no right or wrong way to do this meditation

Your experience may be as vivid as you like or as simple as you like

After each section we will go around the circle and you may share your experience with the group if you wish. Then at the end if you wish we will go over your experiences and we will go over your experiences and I will help you to interpret them if you wish. 

Imagine yourself in a beautiful garden a garden you work hard to maintain you tending to all the flowers and plants.

•  Describe the garden, what dose the landscape look like?
• What kind of plants do you keep, do you have any favorites?
• What is the atmosphere of the Garden?
• The Garden represents the things in your life that have shaped you and the attributes that you want to nurture.
• I will now give you time to write about your meditation you may write in the journals provided so that your experience may inspire others or you may write in your own private journal. 

You feel yourself growing smaller and smaller your skin becomes ruffled you you feel a sense of change about to come upon you. You stop shrinking and find yourself on the leaf of one of your plants there is a mirror in front of you and you realize you are a caterpillar.

• Describe yourself 
• What plant are you on
• What color are you 
• How do you feel in this new form
• The caterpillar represents you in your current state. It represents the things you dislike in yourself.

You begin to eat and you fill yourself until you feel as though you are about to burst. Your skin begins to feel tight and uncomfortable, you realize it is time to change you can no longer be a caterpillar. You must become something more, so you begin to spin your chrysalis.

• What attributes do you add to your chrysalis that you feel you will need in order to fortify so it can protect you in the coming weeks
• What will you take with you into your transformation
• The chrysalis represents what makes you feel safe and what you want to see in your self 

You are in your chrysalis now describe how you feel

• Are you scared?
• do you feel safe?
• Is it dark?
• This represents how you feel in this transitional period 

Suddenly you can't take it anymore you feel you are done with your change and you burst out of your chrysalis tearing yourself free. The sunlight beats upon you warming you to your new form you are now transformed. Again you are faced with the mirror what do you look like now describe yourself?

• What are the colors that make up your wings?
•  If you a specific butterfly or moth what kind are you?
• Are you something entirely new meant for your eyes alone 
•  How do you feel now that you are done with your transformation?
• The butterfly or moth represents the kind of person you want to be. 

Now take a group opinion on how they felt about the meditation and ask if they would like to go over it.
