Life is cyclical. Humans, for instance, go through multiple cycles, the first of which is conception, and the last being death. Death, however, doesn’t signify the end but is a start of a brand-new cycle that enables transformation into a being’s full potential. Even the physical body goes through a cyclical process of transformation. It is said that all the cells within the body get renewed every 7 years, replenishing the lost and replacing the old. It is believed that the same cycle also involves spiritual transformation.

The human existence can be described as a series of transformations, of which, the spiritual transformation has the most impact. For a life to be transformed, it must crumble in a way with some parts needing to be broken off and/or buried in order to facilitate true transformation. This is a process that can be painful, but absolutely necessary and can prove to be the most enlightening and magical experience a person could have. Like a caterpillar that must go through a period of darkness inside a cocoon, transformation may feel like a pointless darkness filled with questions as to where life is headed. This, however, is necessary for a caterpillar to morph into what it has always been intended to become.

There are different signs of transformation that one can observe to determine when a spiritual transformation is going on in their life. One of the most obvious signs of spiritual transformation is when things are starting to crumble around you, which could be preparing you for some form of transformation. While life crumbling around you may sound disastrous, losses, pain, and tragedy, maybe ridding you of things that no longer serve your purpose or are hindering you from achieving your highest good. Things crumbling around you may also be your signal to let go of certain things so as to allow new ones in, which can support your brand-new journey.
