The symbol of the βeggβ can be explored so deeply and itβs actually quite an important metaphor for our ongoing growth and awakening phases, individually and collectively.
We each come from an egg inside our birth mother. We are encased in the βeggβ of our bodies after we are born. Our souls, it can be said, are always leaving and entering their next βeggsβ where we bake and gestate before we awaken some more. We are in a perpetual state of death and rebirth in this way, or maybe βbirth and rebirthβ is another way to say it, yet embracing that βdeathβ is a part of all of our journeys, in many different ways, is important.
After all, you have to βdieβ in a way to being in one life phase before you can enter another. Itβs part of the cycle of living, learning, and relearning.
Mary Magdalene, in my etheric connection to her as a Divine Feminine guide, has been showing me many synchronicities around the egg she is often pictured with. Itβs a symbol of the rebirth of Spring, both in our inner and outer worlds. We go back inward to emerge outward in whatever βseasonsβ of the heart and soul encompass us in any given phase of our lives.
The other day while at the Glastonbury Abbey, I was drawn to walk along a path where I donβt usually walk, and there amongst the light-hearted daffodils was part of a cracked-open, birdβs egg shell. It felt tiny and fragile as I picked it up, yet the strength of the little baby bird that emerged from it could be felt too. It canβt emerge in any timing but its own, for if that happens, it perishes.
The mama bird canβt make it come out of the shell and experience the big, big world any sooner. Instead, she has to surrender to the cycle of life and allow her baby to come through and out of the egg when itβs truly ready. Its survival and ability to thrive too depends on its own built-up strength, its nourishment received while in the egg, and its overall destiny too β none of which can actually be controlled, but all of which has to arise on its own.
Every phase of being back in an βeggβ for us as sacred human souls in near-constant rebirth (especially these days) is about building up our strength and resolve to emerge. The Divine canβt make this happen for us. We can receive guidance, yet our emergence is up to us.
This cracked-open eggshell I found reminded me that itβs our core innocence and healing purity of heart and soul, along with our untethered desire to emerge and awaken, that moves us onward and also upward as we ascend and grow. If we can hold this desire to keep moving through β busting through at times- eggshell after eggshell, while blessing the experience and feeling grateful for it ALL, we ARE going to not only βsurviveβ, but also find our deepest destiny on our journey back to love and leading with love to help bring us all back home.
I was so touched to be holding this eggβ¦I felt it on a deeply personal level as I move more into my inner Queen/High βHeartβ Priestess power in this and other lifetimes. I also felt like this tender holding of this eggshell, which Iβve now made a place for on my altar at home, is the same preciousness the Divine feels for all of us and our parts/Metasoul aspects now and always. Preciousness that doesnβt caretake or enable parts of us to keep going toward harmful patterns, yet holds us each accountable and invites us, always, to feel, hold, and really own our preciousness and the deep strength and profound power of it.
Much love, from my ever-emerging heart and soul to yours!
