Dolphin Smile

Healing With Dolphins

The most important healing that one can experience in their lifetime is spiritual because spirit is the fundamental ground of existence. It is our true nature and manifests into form our physical bodies, mental thoughts, and emotional feelings. Without spirit these other parts would not function. Spiritual healing occurs as we directly experience our true nature.

Spirit does not need to be healed for it is already whole. Our belief in separation is what causes the suffering and when we know that we are not separate from the whole, healing will occur. Our true nature is the chalice of everlasting life and the fountain of love that nourishes all parts of ourselves.

Healing of our physical, mental, and emotional bodies is important for when they are healthy it is easier to focus our attention on our spiritual nature yet without spiritual healing one’s life will remain incomplete. Dolphin Smile takes a holistic approach to healing. Holistic comes from the Greek word Holos which means to be whole. This means looking at all of the factors—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual that affect one’s health.

Spending time with dolphins accelerates the healing process. Many people have experienced healing on multiple levels when in the presence of dolphins. The energy of the dolphins assists in releasing difficult life experiences and often initiates a greater sense of vitality and pupose in one’s life.

For some people the healing process begins by hearing about the dolphins, without even being in their physical presence, and is accelerated when in their physical presence.

What follows is an account of my first experience of the dolphin presence.

The Dolphin Dimension

It was on my birthday in 1989 that I had a close encounter of the “Dolphin” kind. I was immersed in the dolphin dimension. Everything about this experience was unusual including the fact that it happened in Denver, Colorado—a thousand miles from the nearest ocean or living dolphin.

It was lunchtime and I was driving my car to get a haircut from my barber. I turned on the radio to listen to one of the talk shows. The people on the show were talking about their personal healing experiences while swimming with dolphins. They all said that they felt better either physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually after spending time with the dolphins.

I have seen dolphins perform at Aquarium shows and admired them for their grace, beauty, and abundant energy. They certainly could do great tricks. Now they were teaching me a new trick – seeing the human and dolphin world from a broader perspective. What follows are four insights I had on this day.

The first insight is that dolphins do not see humans as being at the top of the evolutionary ladder as I had been conditioned to believe. Humans may be at the top when it comes to technological developments, using their knowledge to manufacture products, making scientific discoveries and medical breakthroughs — all the result of advanced mental capacities. Yet we are not at the top when it comes to co- existing in a harmonious way with nature, living peacefully with each other, communicating effectively without distortion of the message, or directly knowing our spiritual nature.

The second insight is that dolphins value comes from being and not doing. Because they are in direct contact and know their true nature they recognize their own intrinsic value and the value of all life. Unlike humans, they do not need a prestigious job or material possessions to feel good about themselves.

The third insight is that dolphins communicate holographically. The sonar they emit is a vibrational pulse that contains an image, sound, and feeling. It is received in a clear unfiltered way that allows for direct knowing of what is communicated. In essence, there is no separation or distortion between their heart and mind.

The last insight is that dolphins are available to assist humanity in healing on multiple levels. They are aware of our difficulties and want to be of assistance. I know this because I experienced my own healing process and witnessed many people undergo beneficial transformations when in the presence of dolphins.

I received more than just a haircut on my birthday. I received a gift of illumination that dramatically changed my perception of life and showed me a waterway towards becoming whole. Any doubt about the reality or significance of my close encounter with dolphins was erased when I arrived home and opened up my first birthday present which was a tennis warm up suit with a dolphin logo embossed on the jacket. I now know that the dolphins also have a sense of humor.
