When a red dragonfly appears, it is usually to spark these traits in us. When it comes to creativity, our spirituality evolves through the passionate drive we exude.
I have come to learn on my spiritual journey that passion is not just the delight of joy but much besides.
A bottomless pool of energy that helps us carry on despite the obstacles.
Our spirit is what guides us in the background, driving us to a goal irrespective of how difficult it gets.
Passion is the heavenly flame that fades nothing away and goes right into the exploration of new lands there to be looked down into.
Something else that I have learned as I journeyed down my spiritual path is the notion of what actual passion really means.
The red dragonfly is believed to have come at these times and has some real meaning behind it.
It drives us to face our dilemmas, and obstacles with a good ole dose of creative genius in its most obese state.
We should turn our frustration or despair into fiery solutions that keep the hope of creativity and knowledge alive.
It means to so things with passion and devotion.
It is showing up our full beings for everything we do, no matter how minute or monumental the act.
It animates the ordinary details of our days, making these experiences less pedestrian and imbuing them with greater spiritual significance.
It is about the connection with the spiritual realm
Dragonflies are believed to carry messages between the spiritual and physical worlds.
I believe that red dragonflies are an omen of the divine in your life.
Every time I do something new and spiritually significant that has happened, a red dragonfly appears.
These encounters provide clarity and enlightening data.
They are the threads that weave an environmentally imperiled material world with our higher consciousness.
Seeing a red dragonfly means you are being guided spiritually.
Seeing the messages in the red dragonfly we may certainly deepen our spiritual awareness and strengthen bonds with divinity.
Indeed, this connection can give us comfort, stability and a reason for being.
Every time I see a red dragonfly, it comforts me to believe that this experience is my journey and that even though the road may be empty for now, we are not alone.
It sends a message to trust in the process that there is something bigger at stake behind closed doors even when it appears things are just so utterly dire.
The red dragonfly is the guiding light of hope when we are most uncertain.
It is an invocation to follow the whisper that gets obliterated by our daily existence.
Higher truths probably won’t break through when we need to be directly told what they are, but they come creeping up gradually in the smallest acts of introspection.
It is about impermanence
The red dragonfly indicates that you must accept change and the impermanence of life, as this is one of its core teachings. In Buddhism, impermanence is the core.
Nothing last forever. Everything changes all the time.
The red dragonfly lives a short and vibrant life but has an important message in itself.
It almost seems like a representation of the beauty in things that perish.
This fragile insect shows us that we can have a life of peace and fulfillment.
I have found that for myself, sitting with the idea of impermanence is freeing.
Those first few steps were not easy; allowing control and security to fall by the wayside goes against my earthly nature. But, as I slowly learned over time, grasping onto anything — people or situations or even my expectations — only brings suffering.
This is the communication that comes to me inspired by a red dragonfly reminding me not to lose my head in these attachments and instead endure serenity right from this point, at now as always.
That kind of philosophy in impermanence helps to keep a present-moment appreciation more accessible.
The moment I realize that every single experience, emotion and relationship in life has some kind of a time frame attached to it – everything starts feeling precious.
The impermanence of a sunset, the brief bloom of a flower and such transient experiences with other people bring me joy.
It is about insight
Red dragonflies generally signal an era of introspection. Its abrupt arrival can spark self-reflection.
It is the vibrancy of this creature that seems to hold some kind of message for me, prodding a little deeper inside so I can figure out my path even better.
The reflection of self is a very important characteristic in the spiritual growth process.
It is a reflective, it requires us to be honest with ourselves and make some progress toward accepting our truth through still fantastic beings.
The presence of the red dragonfly inspires this effort, leading us into deeper levels of self as we move closer to fullness and insight.
Sometimes, in those self-battles, I gain some insight and sometimes, a clean slate unfolds before me.
I see the repeating patterns in my behavior, the reasons for them, and what emotions truly lie behind each of those decisions.
A moment to question myself and hear the answers that I have within.
Even I feel the self-reflection leads me to my intuition.
Most of the time, in everyday life, we forget or lose touch with that inner voice which shows us the way. However, by taking time to contemplate I make space for that greater wisdom and thoughts which might be missed.
The red dragonfly appears to represent that connection and reminds me always to trust my intuition.
I also can look within myself and celebrate my strengths as well.
I must learn to appreciate how far I have come and the characteristics that make me who I am.
It is about the lightness of being
A red dragonfly also symbolizes the lightness of being.
The dragonfly effortlessly glides through the movement that moves and inspires. And that clarity is there to remind us to face any new or challenging situations with ease – playfully.
