Bryan Pfeiffer talks about the symbolism of the dragonfly in Folklore: Good luck symbol and weigher of Souls.
I love dragonflies.Watching them dart, float, and dance through the air makes it clear that their meaning and impact on us is much more than just being a beautiful part of nature.
It is possible to reflect light in powerful ways if we choose to do so.
Adaptability and transformation are held by the totem of the dragonfly.They are connected to light and change.You should be reminded of these qualities when you see one.
Maybe it is time to be grateful for the joy and light that you have.
There is a folklore and meaning behind the existence of the dragonfly.
The root name of the Greeks is Odanates, which means tooth.dragonflies were thought to have teeth because of the way they crush prey.The myth that they were dragons inspired the modern name of the dragonfly.
The spirits of Devas were thought to be inside the dragonflies.The beauty and acrobatics of the dragonfly were considered to be the perfect way to catch our attention since human eyes aren't naturally trained to magic.
They can travel upwards of 45 miles per hour, fly backwards, hover like a helicopter, and change direction with seemingly impossible speed.They only flapping their wings 30 times per minute.A mosquito flaps its wings 600 times per minute.
The role of spiritual guides is taken on by the dragonflies.They are graceful even in high wind.They show us how to deal with storms.They push us to let go of things that hold us back.
The dragonfly symbolizes a change in perspective and a shift toward self-realization.
Change is hard.maturity is required for the ability to be open to it and accept it.The ability to see the deeper meaning of life is represented by dragon flies.
The flies move in all six directions.You have become aware of their grace if you have watched them.There are two qualities that come with acceptance of change.It isn't a clunky or heavy insect because it has 20 times more power in each flap of its wings.It is elegant in its strength.
The fairy-like quality of the dragonfly is easy to notice.They are connected to nature and her spirits by their likeness.Feelings of fascination and amazement are needed to tap into the magic of nature and the elements.
They begin their lives in ponds and small bodies of water.They learn to look beyond the surface of a person or situation.As creatures of both air and water, the dragonflies remind us of the complexity of life.
When our joy decreases or we start taking things too seriously, Dragonfly enters our life.They remind us to lighten our thoughts and habits.
Dragon flies are tied to our emotional selves because of their connection to water.They are great guides to ask questions.
When you are struggling to adapt, call on the guidance of the dragonfly.It will give you flexibility and a new perspective.Many of our problems have something to do with not being able to accept our emotions.They overtake us and stall our growth.It's perfect for digging in, embracing, and understanding emotions.
If you are stuck in an emotional pattern or in a rut, give the dragonfly a try.
If your spirit animal is a dragonfly, you are likely to be quick thinker.New people, places, and situations are easy to find.The words maturity and presence are used to describe them.
Many evolutions and metamorphoses will likely be experienced by Dragonfly people.Their soul's journey includes the experience of change.These people have the ability to soar to great heights when tapped into their highest purpose.
This is a good time to start working with their energy and symbols if you have become aware of them recently.You might be in line for a transformation if your subconscious calls this spirit animal into your life.Let them inspire you.
It will be easier to find balance and maturity in your emotional life if you tune into their symbolism more.The gift of the dragonfly is the clarity to work with your emotions.
Consider dedicating a meditation session.Work with the elements, understand your current emotions, and focus on self-awareness.Use the image of the dragonfly to awaken its symbols within you as you begin, then focus on bringing your vibration in alignment with this powerful energy.Let your own energy guide you.
If you are stuck in a situation that is hard to navigate, call on the spirit animal.Whether you need to adapt, see things differently, gain some poise to navigate a tricky situation, or raise your vibration to release negative energies that are holding you back, dragonfly energy can help.
