The Day the Dragonflies Landed: How I Knew My Spiritual Awakening Was About to Unfold
Introduction
Sometimes life speaks to us in ways we can’t ignore. For me, one of the most unforgettable messages came on a simple walk with my mom and brother — a day that became the first clue my spiritual awakening was about to unfold.
The Day It Happened
I had just left corporate a few months earlier, healing from burnout and unsure what my career or life would look like moving forward. We were walking near our lake cabin when dragonflies suddenly surrounded us.
But here’s what was strange: they weren’t landing on my mom or my brother. They were only landing on me.
At one point, my brother counted eight dragonflies resting on me at once. I’ll never forget the sensation of one perched gently on the crown of my head. It was surreal — as if something bigger was trying to get my attention.
Thankfully, my brother snapped a photo that captured the moment. You can even see the dragonfly balanced on my crown — as if hitching a ride, but in truth, it felt like a direct connection to the divine, something I hadn’t developed a relationship with yet in this lifetime.
What It Meant
At the time, I didn’t fully understand. I thought it was just a beautiful, almost magical experience. But later, I looked up the spiritual meaning of dragonflies landing on you.
Dragonflies often symbolize transformation, self-realization, and good luck. It’s said that when multiple dragonflies land on you at once, it signifies you’re on the cusp of change — when your soul is preparing to awaken in new ways.
Looking back, I see it clearly now: that moment wasn’t random. It was a sign. The dragonflies were the first signal that I was standing on the edge of transformation.
Looking Back Now
What felt like a fleeting, magical afternoon was actually the beginning of something much bigger — my spiritual awakening. The dragonflies marked the threshold between the life I was living and the life that was waiting for me.
They reminded me that we are always being guided, even when we don’t yet realize it. Signs show up for all of us — in nature, in synchronicities, in nudges that feel impossible to ignore. The key is choosing to see them, trust them, and let them guide us.
Conclusion
The dragonflies didn’t just land on me — they opened my awareness. They were one of the first dominoes that led me toward trust, alignment, and the awakening that would reshape my life.
If you’re noticing signs in your own life, don’t dismiss them. They may be the clearest confirmation that you’re being guided into something new.
