Manta Ray

Meaning, Medicine & Magic

Manta Ray symbolizes grace, flow, and calibration.

Manta Rays are sensitive to the flow of energy and can help you be more efficient at tapping into this flow and dancing with it.

They can show you how to notice the nuances of energetic currents and adjust accordingly so you don’t waste your energy.

Manta Rays are ‘birds’ of the sea as they gracefully glide through the water near the surface as well as skirt right over the sandy bottom.

They teach you to navigate the different depths of your emotional waters with grace.

They are also excellent at directing abundance to themselves as they swim with their mouths wide open, reminding you to go out into the world with your heart wide open.

Manta Rays are susceptible to external parasites so they often visit cleaning stations where other fish clear them of debris. Make sure you surround yourself with healthy, positive friends often to help protect and encourage you. It’s a time to have fun, refresh and shake off any negative energy that has been accumulating on you.

Manta Rays mate during the full moon. Give it a try! You could be extra sensitive to the power of love during the full moon.

Manta Rays have an impressive heat exchange system within their veins that allows them to keep their temperature more stable than most fish while diving deep. This indicates that you have the ability to dive deeper into your emotions while still remaining present and aware. Keep practicing each time you dive deeper.

    I was swimming in a super high tide with massive waves of dark green waters. The first dive or two, I was focused on getting under the crest of the wave before it broke, then I noticed I was surrounded by manta rays in the water. I knew not to freak out or be scared, that the mantas could sense my energy and emotional state. I think I felt a sort of companionship from them after the initial surprise of their presence. I proceeded to swim safely into shore as the mantas gradually decreased in size and disappeared underneath the sand!

    Hola! I had a incredible manta ray dream (first ever) and one of the most powerful parts of it was that my son (8) who was sleeping next to me woke up the same morning in bed to tell me he had a dream about a manta ray too! I can give more details about each if you want!

    Once, I was snorkeling above a ship wreck in the lagoon at Kwajalein in the Marshall islands. I was so absorbed with the wreck that I did not notice the manta ray coming up next to me, when one of them actually touched my arm with the tip of its wing as it swim next to me. At the time it shocked me, but since undergoing a spiritual awakening several years ago, I believe it was a portent of my spiritual awakening.

    I dreamed I was told by the universe to prepare a large and deep pond, for a manta ray. It was like preparing for a new baby. But then I found out how huge the manta ray would grow to be- and had no idea how I’d be able to find a way to provide it the massive depth and spaciousness it would need to grow!
