The Dragonfly Symbolism
Ever wondered why the world is suddenly going crazy over dragonfly jewellery? It is believed that being a light-bearer, the dragonfly is a symbolism of power and the presence of the Super Energy that is associated with light and love. So what do the dragonflies symbolize in our lives? They remind us although they spend most of their larva life at the bottom of the pond they rise above pushing their way out of the water and into the sunlight. Therefore, just like them, we too can push our way past the difficulties of life and transform as “light-bearers” to go wherever we choose and achieve what we aspire to!
Self Realisation
It takes great inner perspective and depth of character to change oneself and rise above the mire that surrounds you. And that can come only from a mature mental and emotional state of mind. And just like the dragonfly scurries over the surface of the water to rise above into the light, you can choose to reach deep within your soul to seek your power so you too can take flight !
Power and Poise of the Self
The agility and powerful maneuverability of the dragonfly has always symbolized power and poise, characteristics that are associated with age and maturity. And yet it does so with great simplicity and elegance. Thus, if you choose to wear a dragonfly jewellery or gift one, you choose to celebrate all that!
