Between the politics at the hospital and long hours with his patients, he began to resent his beloved career and felt he had little time to pursue his musical pleasures. His vision of himself playing music, “Freedom” as he called it, seemed a pipe dream. Yet in the Cocoon to Butterfly process he dedicated himself to a daily 30-minute creative meditation practice in his home office where he would play music on his computer with Garageband before going to bed. Music started spilling over while in board meetings at the hospital, where he would play air guitar under the table.

Her goal was to become “The Calm Center”, her Butterfly drawing. Curiously enough, as soon as she achieved a calmer lifestyle her company offered her a promotion to lead a larger group of people.

-Samantha, a 30-something bright executive desperately wanted a child and a husband. Her Cocoon image was tight ball she called “Trapped”. After 6 months in a Cocoon to Butterfly group, she discovered the real thing she wanted was connection. By applying the principle of the second stage-the caterpillar and “allowing your creative tension to exist and be uncomfortable”, she made a breakthrough. Samantha accepting her life as it is said, “With or without a man, it doesn’t matter, as long as I am true to myself.” Her higher awareness was activated by her creativity and she became free of her “trapped” tight ball of stress.
-49 year-old Sue knew things needed to change in her marriage, career and life. She was confused and frustrated. Exploring the symbolism of what she wanted to become, entitled “Fresh Wind”, she recognized it as representing a freedom she experienced sailing in the Caribbean. In the months that followed, her daily creative practice supported her discovering how to “Trust my path and follow the creative process.” Several years later, the school system she taught at, offered her early retirement at full benefits. She jumped at the chance and now spends half the year sailing in the Caribbean. She was able to let go of her old beliefs and connect to her passion to reinvent herself.
