Dolphin
The Power of Breath & Sound
Cycle of Power: Year - round
The dolphin is a mammal of the sea. Many people think of dolphins and whales as being fish, but they aren't. They nurse & contain most of the qualities that separate mammals from other animal species. The largest member of the dolphin family is the killer whale which also embodies the quality patience.
The fact that dolphins make their homes in the sea is very significant. Many myths speak of how life began in the primordial waters of life. Water is the symbol of creation, passion, & even sexuality. It is the element of all life. It is a symbol of new dimensions & forces.
Dolphins can open new creation & dimensions to a great degree. Water is essential to life, but so is breath. Many techniques for breathing exist that teach how proper use of breath can be used to induce altered states & align oneself with new dimensions & life. Learning techniques of breathing can help you to become more passionate & sexual, & to heal the body, mind & spirit. For example, tension & stress can be released by simply imitating the spouting breath that dolphin uses upon surfacing. People with lung & breathing problems can benefit greatly by aligning themselves with dolphine medicine.
Dolphin has a rhythm to its breathing & to its swimming. Learning to breath like a dolphin can be beneficial. Breath control is the key to the power of the dolphin. When you can align yourself with the dolphin through breathing you can have dolphin take you to all the places & times that existed before the great seas covered most of the world. Dolphin can lead you to underground caverns & the primordial beginnings of yourself.
Dolphin also has a sonar ability. It uses a series of clicks & responds to the feedback of those clicks as the sound reverberates. Sound, breath, & water are all considered the sources of all life. Sound is the creative life force. Sound came forth out of the womb of silence & created all things. Learning to create inner sounds so that you can create outer manisfestations is part of what dolphin can teach.
Sound requires breath, & water is the unformed creative element that we can shape into any manisfestation, if we know how to combine breath & sound. The sacredness of sound & breath has been taught in many societies. In the Babylonian cosmology, the gods formed by the goddess Tiamut in the waters of life did not come into being until she called them forth.
Dolphin can show you how to enter into the waters of life & then with breath & sound call forth from the waters what you most need or desire. There ae breathing techniques & sounding techniques essential to manisfestation. If we don't use them properly, we find that our prayers are unanswered & our affirmations manifest in an obtuse manner. Dolphin can show us how to do it properly.
The dolphin was a symbol of salvation to the early Christians. To the Greeks it was a sacred messanger of the gods, a dynamic blessed symbol of the sea.Because of this it was rarely killed. The dolphin often displays an altruistic behavior. It has a large brain & great intelligence. Even today, rather than be wary of humans who would kill them, they enjoy the company & their curiousity draws them close.
If dolphin has shown up as a totem, ask yourself some important questions. What are your words & thoughts creating for you? If unsure, when dolphin arises, you will soon discover. Are you getting outside & enjoying fresh air? Are you holding in tensions? Are others? When dolphin shows up it is time to breath some new life into yourself. Get out, play, explore, & most of all...breath.
