Jellyfish Spiritual Meaning

Jellyfish have tentacles. These tentacles always hang up to at least four - five feet below the water surface. Their tentacles usually have colony of polyps that produce stinging cells. Whenever a jellyfish sense some fish, their stinging cells would shoot out barbs that go into the fish and would inject some deadly poison killing the fish. This is how they target their prey.

Jellyfish always have faith and they believe that they can have all that is necessary for them to survive effectively. They have acceptance of life.

They rely on movement to sustain their lives. They are unable to move on their own because they depend on the direction of the wind and the ocean currents to help them move to where they should go.
