Cocooning

Updated: Jul 9, 2024

Sometimes, you just need to cocoon. This is the phase of healing and transformation where you die to the old (ego) and give birth to the new (your Higher Self: Your saviour.)


Cocooning


You may feel an incessant need to achieve, perform, ‘get things done’, but that is just your fearful ego talking to you. The ego will scream against its impending dissolution. Ignore it.

The caterpillar literally dissolves biologically to give birth to the butterfly. This is where you are at.


There is no specific time allocated to this. It will take the time that it takes. You can’t rush the process: You need to trust the process. There is nothing that you can do or not do that will alter the course of your healing at this stage. You need to let go and surrender.


So, cocoon away. If that’s where you are at. You may need to place boundaries to those who are lost and are trying to unsettle you as a result of their dis-ease. That’s fine. Go ahead, ignore them.


Jesus had three days of cocooning between his crucifixion and his resurrection.


According to the Passover story, after escaping slavery in Egypt, the Jewish people wandered for forty years in the wilderness of the desert on the way to the promised land.


You may feel a need to sleep lots. Your duvet may become your friend. You may want to disappear from the public eye for a while. You may feel a deep desire to connect with the true you. All of this is fine. All is well.


Namaste.


Sending you love, light, and blessings brothers.


I work with men who want to find their true Selves. Let me know if you would like to continue this conversation...






Please let me know if you would like to join our 'VOICE for men' VIP community: 'Vulnerability & Openness Is a Choice Ensemble', 'Visibility Is Power', where men can find their strength, courage, and authenticity, by dropping their egocentric fears and instead communicate openly with vulnerability. We are co-creating this space. It will change your life. It will empower you. This community is a safe space for men to connect and discuss philosophy, spirituality, positive psychology, awakening to Self-realisation, wisdom and timeless Truths, to share our experience, strength and hope, and to find solutions to our pain and fears. Our meeting is free to join. There is no script, just sharing.
