And so the story continues…
Butterflies have continued to surround us, from the white butterfly that visits our garden daily to my glasses decorated with butterflies and my recent tattoo featuring, wait for it, a lilac butterfly. Our latest project is to cover our new gazeebo with an array of the colourful creatures.
Butterflies hold a deep spiritual meaning, which varies from person to person but, generally speaking , they represent growth and transition. They are truly mesmerising and inspiring creatures. I have come to learn that butterflies also have another very significant meaning; a friend of mine believes that they are sent by our loved ones in the spirit world as a sign to let us know that they are around. Here is an experience that demonstrates this theory to be a fact.
During my Reiki II course we learnt how to send Distance Reiki Healing. We were asked to each bring in a photograph of a person we would like to send healing to, this person could be on this earth plane or in the spirit world, but we were taught that it’s possible to send reiki to the past, present or future, and therefore possible to send healing to our spirit friends and relatives.
I knew straight away who I would send healing to, and I knew it would be an emotional experience. When the time came we sat in our usual circle and prepared to send distance reiki. All that was left to do was to ask for a sign to know that they had received the healing. I think you can guess what I chose.
And there it was a couple of days later, a beautiful butterfly fluttering around my garden, the first of many to come.
Many of us receive signs from loved ones in the spirit world but sometimes we’re just too caught up in the material world to notice. Be aware of everything around you, and you may suddenly notice the signs. Not sure what to look for? Try asking for a particular sign, for some people it’s butterflies or rainbows, or even shiny pennies, but once you find that special sign, it will change your life forever.
