In The Pupa (Lockdown Mix} - Mixed By Lin Q

The Chrysalis Stage (Pupa)

Inside the Pupa, one of the most intriguing stages of butterfly development, which appears catastrophic from the perspective of the caterpillar. When the little crawler is fully grown and can eat no more, it simply dangles from a branch and spins a protective cocoon around itself so it can safely rest and digest all the food that has been consumed in the previous stage. Though the chrysalis appears unchanged from the outside during this stage, there is dramatic transformation taking place inside the pupa: the body of the caterpillar is slowly dissolving while the previously dormant precursor cells of the emerging butterfly ("imaginal cells") gradually develop, migrate together and create a brand new being.

In our own process of development, this stage is the one we most often misunderstand. We usually don't recognize the need for rest, retreat and recovery when we are trying to grow or create something new and therefore, we miss out on the emergence of inspiration that comes during these times of relaxation and "cocooning." Instead we take the caterpillar perspective and view this stage as a crisis or downturn, while we frantically try to push our growth forward at all costs.

During these bad times, we are forced to be under lockdown for a 21 day period, use this time to rest, retreat, recover and transform into a better version of you, and when all this ends, during this stage there is an intentional "breaking free" that has to occur with proper timing before "flight" is undertaken. When we have gone through the other stages and are finally ready to display our growth to the world, we have to leave behind the old way of doing things and move forward with courage and some risk-taking, while recognizing the fragility of my our "wings."
