AN EXCHANGE OF LOVE

madeleine and dolphin

On the night of my arrival in the Dominican Republic I was given a very strong message that one of the female dolphins at ‘Ocean World’ (a resort with captive dolphins in Puerta Plata) needed healing. 

Having swum with wild dolphins I had not considering a visit to this or any resort which kept these marvelous creatures captive prior to receiving this message. the other dolphins there ’told’ me her name was Mani and that she was very sad and had trouble with her swim bladder - I didn’t even know if dolphins had swim bladders but I know my goldfish did!! Perhaps it was a way of them telling me she was out of balance.

My friend asked me how could we be sure we would encounter Mani in our ‘swim with the dolphins experience’, as there were different dolphins scheduled for each session. I just had to trust that I would find her or she would find me somehow.

Watching the first dolphin ‘show’ I was in tears as it seemed so demeaning for these amazing creatures to have to ‘perform’ for us.  At the end of the show we went down to the water to meet the dolphins that would allow us to touch them.  Lo and behold the dolphin that came up to me was Mani!  The keepers said her name was Serena, but I knew it was her! .

The sadness that I felt when she laid on my shoulder was heartbreaking.  I tried to give her as much healing a I could, telling her how beautiful she was and how I would help her as best I could.  We left the resort feeling weighed down with melancholy and helplessness for the dolphins

That night I awoke to feel Mani on my shoulder again.  She told me that dolphins have twelve higher soul chakras and whales had twenty-one.  These soul chakras were linked into the planetary grids - I was amazed at this information.  She asked me to balance her chakras (physical and soul) and told me she had had a baby in captivity and was so upset that the baby would never experience the freedom of the wild.  I tried my best to visualise sending healing energy up through her whole body and up through her higher chakras and hoped that I had once again done something that might have helped.

The next morning just as I was in that state between sleep and wakefulness I felt Mani’s presence again pressing on my shoulder.  This time here energy was electric! She said she had come to thank me and to give me healing in return. She thanked me for reminding her that captivity is only a state of mind and that now her soul chakras had been activated, she could be multidimensional and be anywhere she wanted to be.  She could also teach her baby these tools!  The energy waves she sent up through my body were so powerful they made my whole body judder - it was incredible. This was the start of a life changing experience as a prelude to what awaited me when I connected with the awesome whales!

I also realised that the dolphins in these resorts were doing a very important job connecting with all sorts of people that were unaware of their soul journey and that they were in some way reconnecting them and reawakening the subconsciously. 

During my swim with the whales they told me that they had pre-agreed to do this and that these captive dolphins had chosen this role. I think Mani had lost her way due to the concern she had for her baby.
