Transform Yourself

We all remember running around trying to catch butterflies when we were young.  The excitement of chasing about after the colourful creatures filled us with excitement and wonder.  


We read many quotes about transforming ourselves and the butterfly is mainly used as an example.  It is after all something we can all associate it and recognise.  Butterflies are magical creatures and I still love to watch them floating around on a summer's day.  


Back to transforming ourselves.  Our own transformation doesn't need to be as dramatic as the humble butterfly.  Instead we are usually being asked to re-look at our lives and see what needs changing or removing.  Many of us have talents and hobbies that we dropped as our lives became busier with work and families.  Many of us need to slow down, stop and take a deep breath or find time to meditate or walk in nature to recharge our batteries.  Sometimes it refers to visiting old memories some of them difficult and not seeing them from the memory's point of view but from now and assessing what you now have learned from it.  


When we have completed this introspective de-cluttering we then begin a new cycle in our lives, filled with renewed enthusiasm for life and living it to the full.  Transformation doesn't always mean to look at every single instance now and evaluate it anew.  But if something is prevalent in your thoughts then this is the point that need your attention.  


Don't be put off moving forward/transformation as it is a natural process and when you have don't this a few times it becomes easier to accomplish leaving you refreshed and re-energised.


So transform your life - be like the butterfly, shed what you don't need and fly high into the bright clear sky with fresh energy.  


Have you transformed yourself?  Got a comment or question, post below, thank you xx

Tied by the Hands of Time

The alarm woke me - it was 4.00 am Sunday 5th May 2012.


Jumping out of bed I ran to the window excited to see the super moon in the night sky.  Due to a heavy blanket of cloud all day before and earlier that night I couldn't see it, just a warm glow through thin cloud from time to time.  
There it was sitting low in the sky, looking magnificent in its orange glow.  As expected it was indeed larger than a normal moon and its glow more radiant.  
More on Super Moon perigee here.


While I stood captivated by the moon, a thought crossed my mind, what is time?  I'd set an alarm to wake me at a certain time.  Returning to bed the thought continued to grow.  


What is time?
Where did the concept of time originate?
Why do we need it?
How do we use it?
What if time didn't exist?


What is time?
A good question because we cannot touch, smell, taste, look at, or physically interact with time.  
So time is a concept?  Did man watch nature and on seeing the patterns in its yearly turning extrapolate the concept of time from that, who was the first human to conceive time?
We may possibly never really know but clocks as we understand them came after many instruments were invented to calculate time, first the sundial was used in ancient times then water, wind and other ideas until we reach today's idea of a clock.  
More on history of time here.


How do we use time?
Many of us live our every day by the clock, we get up at the same time, start work at a particular time, drop the children for the school day at the same time each day, and on and on we go.  We have become dependant on time to measure out and organise out day. 


Time is a wonderful idea which has allowed us to organise ourselves, apportion our day in a wise way, allowed us to travel great distances including into space and helped us to understand the world we live in and mother nature and her cycles too.  


No time !
I cannot conceive a world without time, it would seem impossible, how long would a day be, or a night, what would a week consist of ?  However time is only used here on earth. In spirit or heaven or whatever name you wish to call it there isn't time, not in the linear way we understand it.  But I expect when I get there it will all seem normal and understandable just like time does here and now.  


So when I'm at home and I don't need to be anywhere or doing anything special, I remove my watch because by wearing a watch I tie myself into the cycle of time.  Instead when I remove it, I release myself from it and enjoy the here and now.  So maybe removing your watch and leaving your mobile in your handbag or another room, allows you to unwind yourself from the hands of time for one afternoon a week or for whatever length of time you choose.  :)


I'd love to hear your comments on time and how it supports your day.  Cora x
