Dragonfly Necklace

The Symbolism Behind the Dragonfly

• Change Not only does the dragonfly symbolize change in life, it specifically represents a change in perspective and a shift toward self-realization.
• Maturity Change is rarely easy.  Because of this, the ability to be open to it and accept it requires maturity.  Dragonflies symbolize this maturity as well as our ability to see the deeper meaning of life.
• Poise Dragonflies move easily in all six directions.  If you’ve watched them, you’ve become aware of their grace and poise. Two qualities that come with the acceptance of change and maturity. With roughly 20 times more power in each flap of its wings, it isn’t a clunky or heavy insect.  It remains elegant in its strength.

Other symbols of the dragonfly:

• Adaptability
• Joy and lightness
• Emotional depth
• The invitation to go deeper
• A connection to spirit beings
• Wisdom

The perhaps most important lesson of the dragonfly lies in its short life span.  They live a complete life in only seven months. Let the dragonfly be a reminder to you to live life fully present.  Let it teach you to look out for the gifts and beauty that you encounter each day.
