It has been written by various journalists that the Chilean Miners were silly and superstitious in believing the white butterfly story. If anyone missed it, there was a white butterfly that flew before the last two miners, when they drove deep in the womb of mother earth,while heavy rocks were closing in on them. The two miners believe this butterfly was delivering a message.Silly and superstitious? Perhaps these journalists are missing all the messages and messengers in their own lives? Just maybe, they’re approaching life a bit out of touch? And then, there are those who look at these sort of things as if they were part of evil. All I can say, do your research.
Also, look to the ancients. Most, if not all, had these beliefs and it was and still a way of life. Ancient teachings prevail and stories continue to be passed down as the white butterfly story and the 33 miners amazing rescue!
The difference between the journalists and the miners? Could it also be a disconnection from mother nature? Perhaps the journalists would transform their beliefs if they took a job as a miner or just spent some time in a cave. Caves change people. It’s an ancient fact!
Butterfly stores are abundant. I thought it to be appropriate today to write about an incredible butterfly story of my own as droves of people have come to my blog, curious and open to read about the connection of the white butterfly and the Chilean miners.
One summer early afternoon day I was taking a walk with one of my elder clients. This was a ritual we found healing and relaxing for her well being as she was entering a new phase in her life, wanting to stay at home, away from most people.
My client was very disturbed this day as her old boyfriend of twenty something years suddenly died and she was grieving.
I knew this was a day I needed to just let her express her feelings. There would be a point to introduce her to a few spiritual stories.
As we headed towards the end of the second block of our walk, I asked if she believed in heaven? She responded with–”of course.” All of a sudden a beautiful butterfly came fluttering towards her, circled her and landed on her shoulder. We stood there in awe.I knew this was a signal from her boyfriend telling her all was well and not to be sad…..
Funny, it didn’t circle me, only Mrs Ellis?
We both were so elated with this miracle, it took days to come down from this high. She kept asking me…” Do you think it was a signal?”
The following week we began our time together with a walk. Mrs. Ellis seemed more at peace with her loss. Rounding the corner of the second street, the same street we encountered the beautiful butterfly, the butterfly re-appears and circles Mrs. Ellis once more. The butterfly re-appears and circles once more? Incredible!
Again, only Mrs. Ellis?
At this point we were like two small children jumping for joy lasting days.I intuitively knew and shared that this was a second confirmation as there were doubts with the first encounter.Now it was very clear……
The next week I brought Mrs. Ellis a store bought silk butterfly as a reminder of this amazing experience. She placed it on the flower arrangement sitting on her dining table to remind her of this awesome experience.
Butterflies bring different messages. Since Mrs. Ellis was mourning her beloveds death, the butterfly meant his soul was telling her goodbye. What a fitting ending for a blessed story…
The miners white butterfly message? Transformation, change, growth, hope and faith. White means purity and truth. One butterfly, beginnings.
I knew the miners would be saved as messages kept coming forward.
Next time a butterfly flys around you, pay attention.
It’s been a while since another image has fallen off of another Fatima candle. For those that don’t know…The Fatima candles are suppose to be drip-less.
