We live in a microwave world where we want every thing to be complete, fully cooked in a minute or less. The thought of being still is almost non existent. But there are certain things in life that need stillness and quiet to be fully realized. Just like the butterfly. When a caterpillar cocoons, they enter a space of quiet, physical stillness, and extensive internal and external transformation. Did you know if a caterpillar exits the cocooning period a moment too early, their wings wont fully form and their color will not reach full potential and beauty. The caterpillar knows it needs time, peace and quiet for complete transformation and to become all that they are designed to be. Humans tend to rush the process of soul growth. You can't rush healing, growing, becoming. If you exit certain seasons in life too soon, you will not fully realize the intended growth of the season you are in. Sometimes you need to emotionally and physically cocoon.  Physical non movement is serious soul movement. Being still and letting things be for a moment is not doing nothing. In reflection, some of my biggest soul level movement and growth was simply being still and listening. Intentional cocooning now and then is necessary and wise. Go out in nature, sit still, and meditate.  Watch a sunrise or sunset and just breathe. Dip your toes in the ocean and exhale. Climb to the top of a mountain and ask for new perspective. Stand tall next to a tree, placing one had on the tree, and be grateful for all the support in your life.  Soul care is about knowing their is value of being still, embracing nature, taking deep breaths. Simply said, try embracing the heart felt lyrics from Let It Be by the Beetles:  

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be  

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
