Dragonflies are ancient insects dating back over 180 million years old. In the USA alone there are over 650 species of dragonflies in the US alone. These amazing creatures have been a symbol of grace in teachings of Feng Shui, and a symbol in shamanism for transformation and seeing in a new light.

In the dragon fly life cycle most of their life takes place in the water. The nymph spends two years in the water before they transform into the winged creature we know. In flight they are fast and agile, paralleling the amazing flight of the hummingbird.

Since the dragonfly spends the first two years of its life in the water it is closely associated with both the emotional aspects as well as subconscious. During this water bound time the dragonfly grows and sheds up to 15 skins.

Because the dragonfly has two distinct worlds within its full lifecycle, with the nymph stage of its earlier water life, and the air based life of flight, the dragonfly is a symbol of transformation. With all great transitions in life we must understand that there are steps along the way, and all change takes time.

Dragonflies possess the spectrums of color in their transparent wings and their vision. We can bring focus to the great spectrum of luminous colors available to us through our higher spiritual presence. The multi-faceted eyes of a dragonfly also show us that anything can be seen from different perspectives, even the illusions of life.

The wings of the dragon fly are transparent, abounding with many luminous colors. The eyes are multi faceted, able to see from many angles. This reminds us that we can see anything in life from many angles. We should always look past the illusions.

We can bring the influence of the dragonfly totem into our meditation. Dragonflies remind us to take flight, moving out of the stories we live within. We can look past the illusions, finding greater clarity with our emotions and introspective self.
