Dragonfly Teachings by Elder Wa Wa Tei Ikwe
Dragonflies are among the Elders of the human world and their teachings come from ancient wisdom as they were some of the first winged insects to evolve over 300 million years ago.
Dragonfly symbolizes and teaches:
- Change. When change comes our way, whether by choice or not, we must be patient with ourselves like the dragonfly, the whole of us knows what to do.
- Transformation. When it comes to you, it brings with it the connection to the power of transformation – to the possibility of leaving the old or the dysfunctional behind. you have it within you to break free of old paradigms and it will show you the path to new worlds where you can hear the wisdom of your spirit.
- Adaptability. It is here to help you release, to live in harmony with yourself, your nature and your spirit – and that like the dragonfly, when the time comes to change, what we change into is already a part of us – we were born with it.
- Self realization. We are each unique and not an imprint of someone or anyone else. that you should not be fearful of change and to recognize your talents, gifts and abilities.
