The Story of the Dragonfly
Information Source: "Spirit of the Dragonfly" by Peter Boxall, The Dragonfly Website
"The metamorphic act of emergence from nymph to Dragonfly strips away our beliefs of containment of our actions, our limitations, our doubts, and our self doubt. 'The Spirit of the Dragonfly' reminds us that everything is possible, we can achieve our dreams and our goals, we learn to understand about ourselves, and our self belief. The Dragonfly Spirit is the keeper of our dreams, seeing out true potential and ability, giving us the capability to fulfill our birthright."
"In the beginning of the life cycle of the Dragonfly the Nymph emerges from the egg, spending as long as five years beneath the water surface..."
"When the Nymph is ready to [metamorphosis] into an adult, it climbs up with the assistance of an emergent plant at night, and as it does its breathing pattern changes inside the larva's body, then skin splits at a weak point behind the head, and the adult Dragonfly crawls out of its old larval skin, waits for the sun to rise, pumps up [is] wings and swiftly flies off, the Dragonfly is the [worlds] fastest flying insect, propelling itself at speeds of 19 to 38 miles per hour, dependent upon species. In the same way using the energy generated by the Spirit of the Dragonfly one can swiftly come to conclusions and new insights that help you propel yourself from the old larval skin into new ways [of] thought, action and lifestyle. This is the point of metamorphication, the most important time for 'seeing' through illusions, and being receptive to the messages being sent to you from the Universe directly through the Spirit of the Dragonfly."
