🐉🦋 The Dragonfly 🐉🦋

Second Head of the Dragon

 The dragonfly's aptitude for swift, agile flight, moving effortlessly in any direction, is a metaphor for the mind's inherent capability to navigate a myriad of thoughts and ideas.

Just as a dragonfly darts from one place to another in an instant, so does the human mind traverse landscapes of thoughts, dreams, and fears at lightning speed.

The dragonfly encourages us to embrace the flexibility and adaptability of our minds, reminding us that we are not confined to one perspective or one pattern of thought.

At the same time, the dragonfly symbolizes the fluidity and depth of our emotions.

This resonates with its relationship to the element of water, where it begins its life. The nymph stage of the dragonfly is spent in the water, symbolizing our own immersion in the realm of feelings and emotions.

The dragonfly's emergence from the water represents emotional maturity and the understanding that comes from delving deep into our feelings.

Water is a universal symbol for emotions and the subconscious. Its fluidity, depth, and constant movement resonate with the ever-changing nature of our feelings.

The dragonfly's intimate connection with water serves as a reminder of our own emotional ebbs and flows. It encourages us to maintain an awareness and acceptance of our feelings, to let them move through us as naturally and effortlessly as water flows in a stream.

Moreover, the dragonfly's brilliant iridescent colors, reflecting and refracting the light of the sun, symbolize the mind's illumination when it integrates and processes emotions. This colorful display of light is not unlike the aha moment when we comprehend and assimilate our feelings, creating a harmonious inner balance.

The Focus & Manoeuvrability  of the Dragonfly will help you to journey the second layers of Self, and to raise the second head of the Serpent.
