Title: Praying mantis Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Oct 15, 2019 11:16 am Praying Mantis Meaning in the Realm of Animal Symbolism The mantis comes to us when we need peace, quiet and calm in our lives. ... Overwhelmingly in most cultures the mantis is a symbol of stillness. As such, she is an ambassador from the animal kingdom giving testimony to the benefits of meditation, and calming our minds.
The praying mantis takes its time in all that it does. It takes care to pay diligent attention to its surroundings, and moving through life at its own pace. It demonstrates the ultimate power of stillness. It serves as a reminder for humans to slow down in our chaotic, fast-paced lives. The praying mantis animal totem also teaches us how to still our bodies and go within our own mind. By doing this, we can connect with ourselves, drawing up greater physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual power. This stillness and concentration is a form of meditation, a practice that the mantis places much importance in. https://www.sunsigns.org/praying-mantis-animal-totem-symbolism-meanings/ Title: Re: Praying mantis Post by: guest88 on Oct 15, 2019 11:32 pm steve, you're getting into the scarier bugs of nature and finding comfort in it. isn't the female praying mantis the insect that eats the head of the male after they've mated? ;D boo. |
