You are about to use the power of imagination and visualization to stimulate aspects of your being that will provide resolution to a challenging situation in your life.

You will be doing this by invoking the qualities attributed to the Dragonfly.

The Dragonfly will spend years in the water as a nymph growing and molding many times until it goes through metamorphosis and breaks through its shell to reach its full potential.

You too have gone through many stages of life and this may be your time to break through the hardened shell that has protected you through so many worldly experiences.

Many believe that the Dragonfly represents change as well as mental and emotional maturity.

They are seen to exhibit poise and power and since they only spend a small portion of their lives as an adult,

They remind us to embrace life fully in the here and now.

The Samurai felt that the Dragonfly inspired strength,

Agility,

Courage and victory.

Native Americans believed that the Dragonfly helped to bring happiness,

Purity,

Protection and abundance.

Some tribes even believed that they represented the spirit of the departed.

Remain open to what you are about to hear and these much desired qualities that are also within you will be awakened and reinforced.

Let's begin by relaxing deeply and using the power of visualization to actually become the Dragonfly.

This may be a completely unique experience for you and you have nothing to lose and so much to gain by dropping any resistance and participating fully.

Become aware of a challenging situation in your life.

Take a few moments to examine this deeply.

Are there any physical sensations you feel while revisiting the details of this situation?

Our muscles very often attempt to shield us from stressful situations by contracting.

Let's release this tension by entering into a deeply relaxed state,

Going into your cocoon.

Lie on your back with your arms to the side and your palms up.

Take a few deep breaths coming into the present moment.

Now use your imagination,

Visualize yourself safely,

Lovingly encased within a cocoon,

Ready to let go and enter into a new way of being,

A new phase of life.

Become aware of your toes and feel them enter into a deep,

Deep state of relaxation.

Now feel this wave of relaxation traveling up your legs,

Letting go,

Letting go,

Relaxed.

Now bring your awareness to the fingers and let them go.

The palms,

Back of the hands join into this deep,

Deep state of relaxation.

Feel your arms letting go completely.

Your awareness is now on your pelvis.

Keep on letting go until there is nothing left to let go of.

The low back and abdomen let go.

Mid back,

Upper back and shoulders relaxing completely.

Feel all around your neck,

Feel it relaxing.

The chin,

Cheeks,

Lips and tongue let go.

Relaxing the nose,

Eyes,

Forehead and scalp.

Scan your body and become aware of any residual tension and use the power of your mind naming the body part and mentally saying,

I am relaxing this area,

While taking three deep breaths,

Letting go.

You are now in a deeply relaxed state,

In your imaginary cocoon and ready to begin a transformation.

Feel your arms and legs becoming spindle like,

So much lighter.

Now your torso is changing,

Elongating with a long thin tail like appendage growing out from the bottom.

Now your eyes expand and become rounded,

Able to see 360 degrees all around you.

Two sensitive antennas grow out from your face.

Now sense the expansion on the sides of your torso as four beautiful,

Colorful,

Translucent wings branch out.

Your new form no longer needs to be protected.

You are ready to break free.

You are about to break through into a new way of being.

What has been holding you back?

What situation has been holding you down?

What are you ready to let go of?

Feel that with the power within you,

Nothing can hold you back.

You see the light coming in as the cocoon begins to crumble.

Your first glimpse of your new reality inspires you to push even harder.

With one last push,

You set yourself free.

You feel your wings expand for the very first time and effortlessly raise up,

Taking in the beauty of your new world as well as your own luminous wings.

You take one last look at the crumbled shell of your past.

You have an expanded awareness.

Let go of the past.

Gracefully embrace this change and understand that you will be victorious over this and every challenge that comes into your life by using the Dragonfly qualities of strength,

Agility,

And courage,

As well as emotional and mental strength.

You know beyond the shadow of a doubt that true happiness and prosperity are your birthright.

With this new lightness of being,

New freedom,

You rise to new heights,

Embracing every precious moment.

Reinforce this new way of being by silently repeating the following affirmations.

I release the past,

Embrace change,

And live in the wonderful now.

I can clearly see and accept what I have resisted in the past.

I have the courage and strength to rise above destructive situations.

I victoriously overcome all obstacles.

I am emotionally and mentally mature.

My flexibility allows me to choose to travel great distances if necessary,

Or I may choose to remain close to home.

Abundance flows easily into my life.

Now you can choose to return to your usual level of wakefulness and alertness,

Or drift into sleep.

If you choose to awaken,

Fill your body and mind returning to a human form,

Yet retaining the wonderful attributes of the Dragonfly.

As you move and stretch,

Feel as if every part of you is renewed and ready to gracefully enter back into the world.

If you choose to sleep,

Feel your once again human form drifting into deep rest.

I will count to three.

When I reach three,

You will be at your desired level of relaxation or alertness.

One,

Two,

Three.

Thank you for watching!
