Animal Totem Blend: Dragonfly
Dragonflies inhabit two realms--.Water + Air. As a nymph they live their lives within the water, as they mature and go through metamorphosis, they move to the realm of air. This creature teaches us there must always be expression of both emotional and mental balance within our lives. Moving from water to air signifies a change or a transformation and the need to evaluate our environment from a new perspective. The pigment on their bodies is not actually iridescent as it appears, but rather the shattering and refraction of light, much like a rainbow, on their exoskeleton. Life is never quite as it appears, but it will always be filled with light and color. Dragonfly brings the brightness of transformation and the gift of colorful new vision.
