The past five years have been a period of growth & transformation for me. I see changes in my behaviour, my attitude, my perceptions and my approaches. My temperament has quietened down ever since I learned to sit with my feelings, hold them & release them.
Unleashing decades of trapped trauma is making me soft and glow from within. It is a beautiful thing to slowly become less angry, less harsh and less burdened. I still have quite a journey ahead of me in EMDR therapy. But I look back to what I have accomplished through it and I am amazed at how far I have come.
A few days ago I was watering my plants and moving some pots about on my balcony. A lone dragonfly landed on my wrist, the movement as soft as a kiss. I froze in wonder and stared at it's irredescent wings and spindly body. It lasted for about 6 seconds and the dragonfly took flight, just as softly as it landed. i stared after it as it flittered away.
To me, it felt like a message from the universe, a message of acknowledgement and encouragement. The dragonfly symbolizes change. Dragonflies transform from aquatic nymphs to airborne adults and are often said to represent change in our own self-realization. A change that is rooted in one's emotional maturity and the delving into a deeper consciousness and the immaterial aspects of life.
I am walking that path now. The path of transformation. The universe sees and the universe blesses ✨
