Lolo

Stand in the Light

You are unique. You are a divine and beautiful being. You stand apart from the crowd. Sometimes this evokes jealousy or desire in others who want to possess your light and beauty as their own. You need never fear another or believe that they can harm you. Allow yourself to be true to who you are. Do not try to hide your inner light and beauty. You are meant to be seen. Your soul is nurtured and protected by your love for Great Spirit.

In A Reading

Don’t avoid the spotlight or try to hide yourself nor dull your light to appease another or your own fears. Your true inner divine light and beauty is meant to help others, and the only way that can occur is if you allow yourself to fully be and express it. Do not shrink away from your magnificence when you feel challenged. Instead, step it up to an entirely new level of boldness! You have a gentle nature, but you are strong. If you have become obsessed with the beauty or power of another, it’s time to come back to your own divine beauty, to unearth it, explore it, express it and let it shine. Trying to blend in will drain the energy from you. Let those who are attracted to your light adapt to your level of divine expression. You are the benchmark, and they will evolve to reach you.

In Malagasy, the language of Madagascar, lolo means “butterfly,” “moth” and “soul.” The sunset moth of Madagascar is big, beautiful and bright. While most moths are nocturnal, creatures that are active at night, the sunset moth of Madagascar is a creature of the day. With iridescent wings creating a kaleidoscope effect as they refract the light, they are considered by some to be the most beautiful insect on earth. Yet, in subdued light, their wings can appear far less remarkable. Without light, their true beauty cannot be recognized. You, like this unique creature, are a being that needs light – light to nourish your life force, and light to reveal your true and remarkable divine beauty. You are meant to shine your divinity in the world in the daylight, not keep it hidden under the cloak of night, for fear of how others may react.

The bright colors and shape of the sunset moth’s wings, and their presence in the full light of day, leads many to mistake these unique moths for butterflies. You, too, will find that people do not always realize who and what you are. They may mistakenly assume that your joy and beauty indicate that life has always been easy for you. They may fail to recognize the true depth of your soul and the experiences of darkness and struggle that you have overcome to become the vibrant, beautiful being that you can now be seen to be.

During the daylight hours, the sunset moth can be seen flitting from one flower to another, feeding on the nectar. They discern light waves and indicate a strong preference for white flowers, although not for specific plants. You are one of the rare souls who can find the truth of light and love in any number of spiritual or religious paths, in any number of situations. You are able to recognize and be nourished by purity in many forms – be it a random act of kindness from a stranger, the unconditional love of an animal, a genuine blessing from a spiritual master or a moment of simple beauty in nature. You can sense the true presence of love through an evolved, inner spiritual discernment.

The Madagascar sunset moths are very particular in their eating habits. They are attracted to the nectar of plants that other creatures tend to avoid, because they cannot metabolize the toxins. For the sunset moth, however, what they are drawn to consume is not harmful to them. Instead, these moths become poisonous to predators by simply following their natural instincts to nurture themselves according to what suits them – even though it would not necessarily suit any other creature in the same way. What nurtures and nourishes you, what feels good for your heart, body and soul, is also what protects you. You actually don’t need to do anything else for effective protection than place yourself in the divine beauty of what you love absolutely and completely.

Healing Process

If you are concerned about negative attitudes or attacking behaviors from others for any reason, you can use this healing process to clear the fear and reinforce your divine sanctuary. Close your eyes and relax.

Focus on the flow of your breath in and out. Imagine that you can drape yourself in a cloak of divine beauty, light and glory. This cloak is as light as a feather, shining with endless iridescent shades of color that reveal the exquisite beauty of the Divine.

This cloak flows lightly around you, offering you a sense of having wings, or having a body that is beyond your physical body, and yet interpenetrates it, too. That body of light and color can breathe, as though it is lightly aerated all over. It can release anything that is not of love and shines forth a continuous stream of beautiful, divine light in all directions. This light body can move freely, growing as large as you wish, taking any shape, any size and any form that feels beautiful to your heart. Allow whatever your experience is to be.

When you are ready, say aloud: I am cloaked in divine glory, light, grace and beauty. I am a child of the Divine and am protected in the sanctuary of absolute divine love, now and always. So be it.

Dance, meditate, rest or pray with your cloak around you now, if you wish, and keep it with you for as long as you choose.

You have completed your healing process.
