Dolphin Address 18, by Verena Schwalm
September 13, 2004
Most people love dolphins. In nearly every household posters and postcards, small necklaces and knick-knack of the like can be found, while only few people have ever seen one in nature or even in a delphinarium. How can that be?
The dolphin is marketed as a guarantee for feeling good. He always seems to wear a smile and nod at you in a friendly way. Is all this the result of smart nature documentaries and sales strategy?
Spiritual people see a lot more in dolphins. They seem to be messengers of Light, originating from other star systems, and to be here to teach us to live in love and harmony. Many talk of possible telepathic contacts between man and dolphins, some claim to have them.
I am a Reiki and Shiatsu practitioner myself and I have some experience in Energy work. I do not believe in coincidence and therefore think there is a deeper meaning to my presence here, with Dusty, although I never had more than a fleeting interest in dolphins.
Therefore I am open and see.
In the time she shares with me she seems to scan my belly very often. My belly is the centre of my being and occasionally I have intensive energetic contact with other lightworkers by my navelchakra. This feels like a thick band of energy between the others and me and can be very strong. Maybe it is the same with Dusty, only that I just do not feel this so strong. I try to fully open up for her, let love flow and now and then she gives me a very intensive time in which I can truly touch her in silence. And silence means that my head is empty and I am totally in the moment, as in Reiki. When I leave the water I feel fresh and strong.
There were days that I saw her as a friend, she seemed very considerate with me, who, compared to her, struggles helplessly in the water. Thus in the beginning she approached me with incredible care and seemed to teach me to have confidence. The more I trusted her and got sure that she never would do me harm, the more her behavior changed into powerful movements and half jumps at only a few centimeters away from me.
It gives me pleasure to be with her, but sometimes I was also rather confused. After all I was communicating with a being from another dimension, as one can consider the sea. Is this encounter so overwhelming in itself, or does she really have the mission to help people forward on their way? Might she not simply enjoy the exchange with others, because she has withdrawn herself from her own species? When I see, and hear from others, how fast she leaves when a speedboat comes by or someone has brought a new toy into the water, then ever I begin to doubt. Would a being that is here to lead people to a life of love and harmony place a boat above a potentially transformable human?
Recently she is said to have somewhat roughly taken away camera's and budgyboards, thereby rather frightening swimmers.
Somehow this confuses me.
Nevertheless my personal experiences are only positive and full of pleasure. That is a lot indeed and maybe we should not always seek for all sorts of messengers and prophets, but simply look into our own heart. There is all that we need.
