Swarming Dragonflies

Posted on by

Not sure if you can see this or not, but we were out at a friends lake home the other night and the air was filled with dragonflies giving us an airshow. Guess it was a fly-in and no one told us.

Decide to see what they were doing or why we were in the right place at the right time to see such an awesome event. Went to this site   http://www.dragonfly-site.com/meaning-symbolize.html  and found a few things that i though was pretty cool.

A few things the site mentioned:

1. The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world symbolizes change 

2. The dragonfly’s agile flight and its ability to move in all six directions exude a sense of power and poise – something that comes only with age and maturity. 

3. The dragonfly normally lives most of its life as a nymph or an immature. It flies only for a fraction of its life and usually not more than a few months. This adult dragonfly does it all in these few months and leaves nothing to be desired. This style of life symbolizes and exemplifies the virtue of living IN the moment and living life to the fullest. (I like the idea of living in the now)

4. The eyes of the dragonfly are one of the most amazing and awe inspiring sights. Given almost 80% of the insect’s brain power is dedicated to its sight and the fact that it can see in all 360 degrees around it, it symbolizes the uninhibited vision of the mind and the ability to see beyond the limitations of the human self.

I do try to practice living in the now…so I may have to try this.

Quick Tip  from Kristen Howe’s    www.lawofattractionkey.com

Being present in the moment is one of the most powerful things you can ever do.

Being present NOW – releases you from judgment and frees you to truly connect and experience and manifest the experience in this life that you desire. This takes awareness before it becomes habitual.

Try this…As you go throughout your day, set an alarm on your phone – I suggest every hour – let’s call this the ‘Get present in the NOW Alarm’ – when the alarm goes off, all you do is focus on the moment. Bring your mind and attention to the moment. Don’t judge yourself if you were off in your mind somewhere else, gently bring yourself to NOW.

Ask yourself, “what can I notice about right now that I appreciate?”

Try using the ‘Get present in the NOW Alarm’ for 30 days and you will be amazed and how much more present you become. And when you are present, you are able to be in a peaceful state of awareness and positive receiving.
