OT:Whale Medicine

Thought this was fitting, not meant to offend. I can see where it would fit everyone.  Don't mean to "clutter" your forum.


Spirit Of The Sea

Native Americans teach us that the Great Spirit speaks to us through our animal brethren. The whale is one animal that we can learn from. Whales have existed for over 50 million years and are considered to be record-keepers who possess knowledge of the past.

It is through the vibrations of their unique sound that they release this ancient wisdom to us. At the same time, their sound carries across such great distances that whales can enter the realm of the future where they can acquire knowledge of what is to come. Every whale sings a song, and they never repeat the same pattern when they sing their song. Since whales must be conscious at all times in order to breathe, they cannot afford to fall into an unconscious state for too long. Never completely asleep, their brain has constant access to the collective unconscious where all answers lie. Whales float peacefully, secure in the ocean environment that supports and sustains them.

You can learn from the wisdom of whales by remembering to express what’s uniquely yours. Each of us has a unique "song" or gift to offer the world. Your song is meant to be sung by you and heard by others. No one else can sing this song but you, and your song is medicine for the healing of the planet. Like whales, you can choose to access information about the future when you go into a meditative state. Whales teach us to look at where we came from and where we are headed. Knowing that our past helps shape our future, we can remember to make positive choices regarding our lives, the environment, and our world. Like whales, we can remember to stay awake and actively engaged in a universe that supports and sustains us. When we express ourselves and share our unique gifts, we add our wisdom and vibration to the planet.

Aloha Darlene and thank you for sharing this beautiful piece.

When I saw the word "Whales" I immediately clicked on your post. I AM A WHALE NUTCASE!! There is a web site that has whale sounds coming from our Maui whales. I don't have it readily available, but it's quite moving.

These magnificent creatures come and play in my backyard this time of year, and I never cease to be moved by their presence. There is a "chicken skin" moment every time I am lucky enough to see them playing right outside my home. It makes me feel small in this big world, and thankful that we were given the gift of sharing it with these wondrous animals.

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen

I feel like that about Mantees. I lived a few miles from a place where they wintered in Florida ( Blue Springs) I just could not stay away. When they were close I felt such a connection and peace in my soul. Pure beauty and love. Why oh why did a girl who loves sun, sand, lighthouses,manatees and aligators end up in Nebraska for petes sake..sigh

Beautiful Darlene.  Thank you so much. 
Hugs, Carmel Valley Linda

I loved reading this, Darlene.  Thank you. I so love whales and remember seeing them in the sea in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and was mesmerized by their grace and beauty.  Thanks again.

Thanks for this, I have always thought that animals are smarter than we are.

Darlene,

Mediation is extremely difficult for me.  I suppose it's because I am so hyper and sitting still poses a problem for me.  But, I do try and it is calming and it does give me peace. My friend is a member of a local wiccan group and she made me some tapes for relaxation and I down loaded them onto my iPod and one of them is the sound of the whales.  It does relax me much more than some of the others.   I wish we could understand what they are saying.  I'm sure one of the biggest messages would be leave the ocean alone.
