While the dark night of the soul often manifests as severe if not disabling depression, it is also a mystical archetypal journey of transformation. Like an internal map that has been animated for your soul to follow, this is a journey that leads you to identify inner illusions and fears as an essential part of discovering the power of your soul. This journey awakens an individuals capacity to channel grace, to heal, to engage in life without being dominated by ordinary fears. The depth of depression that can accompany this experience can feel as if you have been locked up in an inner dungeon or consumed by a fire in the brain. Perhaps some of you can relate to this journey. Those of you who are sojourners through the dark night need to know that coming to the light, to an emergence into a new sense of ones Self, is inevitable, as that is the promise of this mystical transformation. A light will indeed emerge within you. A prayer for those in the midst of this journey, Guide me through this darkness, Lord. Hover over me especially when I cannot seem to hold on for another moment. Flood me with the graces of hope and fortitude. Send your angels to watch over me as I sleep through the night. Remind me during the day that from this small dark cocoon, I will emerge a butterfly —Caroline Myss
