Dragonfly

Dragonflies are often associated with transformation, adaptability and self-realization and are a symbol of Ancient Mastery in the Anusha Healing system. I was lucky enough to watch one land on my car windscreen the other day as I parked to visit a relative. I watched the striking insect resting motionless in front of me and wondered at this creatures' incredible ability to hover, fly backwards and dart around at vast speed and imagined how that must feel having spent much of its life under water. I thought about the correlation between the dragonflys' journey as it transforms and of the ways we are all having to change and adapt to this fast-paced, technological world. As we face the uncertainties of an ever changing world and as we transition through the different stages of our lives we are reminded that change requires a letting go of our old selves, our old habits and patterns and teaching us that our past provided the necessary foundation for our future but that we cannot stay there if we wish to fly. As I look back at difficulties in my life even a year ago, I realise that so much has worked out for myself and for those around me that we could not possibly have orchestrated and I wonder why we didn't have more faith moving through it!
