Dolphin

Manna

Dolphin . . .
  

Breathe with me

      Breath of the Divine.

            Manna of the Universe,

                   In Oneness we entwine.

Contrary:

If Dolphin appears reversed, know that you are forgetting to breathe. 

You may be under stress, and your body may need manna. 

You may be starving your cells and organs no matter how many vitamins you are taking. 

Your natural cycles may be fouling up.

Pay close attention to your health, and your feelings. 

If you are on edge or just tense, take time to relax and breathe the life force into your muscles. 

Focus on releasing old breath at the bottom of your lungs and refilling your respiratory system with regenerative manna.

Breathe from the diaphragm and fill the lungs to capacity. 

Then exhale from the chest to the belly, allowing your body to totally relax as you breathe out.

Another message of contrary Dolphin is that many signals are carried through universal tides or waves, and you may be failing to use your sonar. 

To detect these wave patterns you may need to realign yourself with natural rhythms within your own body.

The it is necessary to use the dolphin breath to connect to universal awareness and signals.

Dolphin says to dive deeply into the water, to play be the coral reef, and to discover the beauty of the rhythm of breath.

Overview:

Dolphin is a beautiful, gregarious mammal with a beaked mouth, and is found in all the oceans of the world. 

In American Indian cosmology Dolphin is the Keeper of the Sacred Breath which contains the prana / mana life force, which is the Essence of Great Spirit. 

As a power animal therefore, Dolphin is associated with the rhythm of energy within Nature and with your own body, and with revitalization.

Dolphin is symbolic of breath. 

By changing the rhythm of our breathing, we can tune into other living things in the universe. 

This is why rhythmic breathing is so important.

Dolphin is concerned also with communication which, again, involves pattern and

rhythm, and especially with sonics  and with sonic harmonization. 

It is also associated with dreams and dreaming, and indicates that you should explore the oceans of your own dreaming and examine carefully what you see there. 

Dolphin will help you to decipher their meanings. 

The breath of life. 

Breathe. 

Take in life force. 

Accept the gift of usable energy. 

Touch the invisible.

Non-Contrary:

Dolphin speaks to us of the breath of life, the only thing that humans cannot go without for more than a few minutes. 

We can live without water and food for days, but oxygen is the source of our sustenance. 

Within the breath we encounter the rhythm of energy that all life emits. 

In changing the rate or rhythmic texture of our breath, we can tap into any other life form or creature. 

This is a very easy way to connect with divine energy coming from the Great Spirit, as well as with your own personal rhythms.

Dolphin is the keeper of the sacred breath of life, and teaches us how to release emotions through Dolphin breath. 

Dolphin creates rhythm, swimming through the water and breathing before submerging, then holding its breath for the duration of underwater travel. 

As Dolphin comes above the water again, it blows its breath out in a manner resembling the popping of a cork. 

We can use this same technique to pull the stopper on our tensions and create total relaxation. 

This is a good exercise to use before entering the silence.

Manna is life force. Manna is present in every atom, and is Great Spirit's essence.

Dolphin teaches us how to use life-manna through our breath. 

It revitalizes each cell and organ, and breaks the limits and dimensions of physical reality so that we may enter the Dreamtime.

Dolphin was traveling the oceans one day as Grandmother Moon was weaving the patterns of the tides. 

Grandmother Moon asked Dolphin to learn her rhythms so that he could open his female side to her silvery light. 

Dolphin began to swim to the rhythm of her tide weaving, and learned to breathe in a new way. 

As Dolphin continued to use this new rhythm, he entered the Dreamtime. 

This reality was a new and different place from the seas he had known.

Dolphin came to discover underwater cities in the Dreamtime, and was given the gift of primordial tongue. 

This new language was the sound-language that was brought by Spider from the Great Star Nation. 

Dolphin learned that all communication was pattern and rhythm, and that the new aspect of communication was sound; he carries this original pattern to this day. 

Dolphin returned to the ocean of the Great Mother, and was very sad until Whale came by and told Dolphin that he could return to be a messenger to the Dreamtime dwellers anytime he felt the rhythm and used his breath. 

Dolphin was given a new job. 

He became the carrier of messages of our progress. 

The Dreamtime dwellers were curious about the children of Earth, and wanted us to grow to be at one with Great Spirit. 

Dolphin was to be the link.

If Dolphin has appeared to you today, frothing through the waves of your spread, you are to be a link to some solution for the Children of Earth. 

This can be a time when you are to link with Great Spirit and bring answers to your own question or to those of others. 

In addition, this can mean a time of communication with the rhythms of nature.

You are put on notice to be mindful of your body rhythms and the pattern of energy being

fed to you from the Creator. 

Imitate Dolphin and ride the waves of laughter, spreading joy in the world. Breathe and experience the manna so freely given. 

Break existing barriers and connect to the Dreamtime or Great Star Nation. 

Know that we are all whole in the eyes of the Ever Living One.
