The Spiral of Becoming

There is something deeply comforting to me about the Fibonacci sequence.

Found throughout nature—in seashells, sunflowers, hurricanes, fern fronds, and galaxies—it expands outward in a spiral, each curve growing naturally from the one before it. Not forced. Not rushed. Simply unfolding in perfect relationship with what came before.

It reminds me of symbols we often see in energy work, like Reiki—spirals representing movement, life force, evolution, and expansion.

And maybe this is how our own energy is meant to move too.

So often, we shrink ourselves because we don’t yet feel “big enough” for what we are being called toward. Not experienced enough. Wise enough. Ready enough. We imagine we must suddenly leap into some grander version of ourselves before we can step more fully into our purpose.

But nature offers a different teaching.

Expansion doesn’t happen all at once.

The spiral widens gradually. Each turn builds upon the last. What once felt impossibly large becomes simply the next natural curve outward.

Perhaps our dharma unfolds the same way.

As we allow our energy to move outward—trusting what wants to emerge, becoming a little more visible, taking up a little more space—we discover that we have quietly become capable of holding more than we once imagined.

Each circle grows larger.

And so do we.

Not by forcing ourselves to become someone else, but by continually expanding into more of who we already are.

With love and resonance,
