3 Stories of Dolphin Saviors

In June 1971, Yvonne Vladislavich was sailing on a yacht in the middle of the Indian Ocean when suddenly the craft exploded. She was thrown clear but the vessel sank and she was left completely stranded. Far from the shipping lanes, there was no hope of rescue. Terrified, she treaded water, awaiting certain death. Then she saw three dolphins approach her. To her astonishment, one of them swam underneath her and buoyed her up with his own large body. Gratefully she held on to the dolphin’s sleek, smooth body. The other two dolphins swam in circles around her to protect her from sharks.

The dolphins carried and protected her through the warm waters for many hours until they arrived at a marker-buoy floating at sea. They left her on the buoy and she was soon picked up by a passing ship.

It was calculated from the position of the buoy and the position of her yacht when it exploded, that the dolphins had carried her and kept her alive through 200 miles of dangerous seas.

International Dolphin Watch
Bill, a resident of Oxford, England, had suffered from clinical depression for more than 10 years. Horace Dobbs, who runs International Dolphin Watch, decided to take Bill out in a boat off the Pembrokeshire coast to see if watching dolphins would have a positive effect on the man. A dolphin swam right up to Bill, although there were 20 other people in the boat.

Communicating with this creature began to lift his depression. “I felt wanted for the first time,” Bill said. “There were no questions asked.” The dolphin stayed with Bill. “The message I received was, ‘I need you and you need me. Let’s share our lonely worlds together.’”

Bill was so impressed with the experience that he decided to swim with another dolphin off the coast of Ireland. Bill now returns to swim with that dolphin every year.

Dolphins’ Comprehension
Dolphins understand the difference between play and a serious situation. Once, the crew of the boat Aquanaut had to give up its plan to practice lifesaving techniques in the ocean because a playful, happy dolphin kept interrupting the activities.

Later in the day when a member of the boating party got into serious trouble, the dolphin gently supported the man on the surface and helped a crew member tow him to the diving ladder. But that was not the end of the dolphin’s concern. The dolphin swam alongside the ship and watched quietly until he could see that the man had recovered.

“Perhaps, in some way, I owe my gold medals to the dolphins. In their trusting and playful way, they taught me the subtleties of swimming technique.”
–Olympic gold medalist Matt Biondi, who swims with the dolphins

The Magic Land of Aloha Spirit ~Hawaii 2011_Whale empowerment

Have you ever felt a deep call from the sacredness of Earth?

I let the spirit carry me to the blessed land of Hawaii, one of the most spiritual places on Earth. It’s the third time we immerse ourselves fully in the spirit of aloha. Whales - the peace keepers called me: I needed their guidance, I needed another step into my greatness. It was time for a spiritual upgrade, an expansion and a new direction of swimming in my life.

Traveling to sacred places on earth is giving back to Earth and also BIG investment in myself: I always grow and expand spiritually and financially. You cannot expand if you do not invest in yourself, it’s that simple! ...and the more you grow the more you can share...


As we were ready to land on the Big Island, I heard psychically the whales call, so I looked at the ocean while Constantin was elbowing me very excited: “Whales, whales!” There were four whales blowing powerfully welcoming us to the land of Aloha spirit” What a way to start a journey!

My psychic senses told me I was there for two main reasons: a lot of giving and excellent receiving.

As for giving: as I was there to do offerings (gifting and ceremonies) to the ocean, kahunas spirits (ancient Hawaiian shamans) the sky and air (North Element), turtles, dolphins and whales. Hawaii needed extra orgone (life force)boost - I felt very deep inside my being. Why? I had to receive answers after our journey was completed.

As for receiving: new upgrades and activations: in my cellular memory and nadis (channels), psychic awareness and DNA.

The light emerges from the darkness of the ocean
There were a few challenges and tests for us in this journey. We passed them successfully.

The only way you become more powerful is when you are faced with challenges so you learn, grow and evolve from experiences. Conquering challenges is quite empowering- more spiritual powers revealing! A childish behavior is necessary though, as innocence is the way to deal with seriousness of the imaginary drama our minds create.

The energies of this entire journey were mixed as duality is within us (dark and light forces).

The more you work with the light the deeper the dark side will make its presence. The point is how you integrate the darkness into your work. Darkness can remind us of releasing and purging unsupported believes, behaviors, energetic cords. Only by going deep into the darkness for cleansing and purging, the light emerges.

Spiritual strength is about recognizing the true energy that resides in you and let’s be brutally honest: it is not always positive and happy, unless you are born a saint or became one.

The first night we spent in Hawaii, Mother Natures shook forcefully: thunderstorm and rain were falling heavily from the sky. It was mystic and powerful! I truly enjoyed the power of cleansing, as the next day the energies were amazingly clear and peaceful.

To add to the power of cleansing and purging (in my case fear), we went on a night dive called “Magic pelagic” 5 miles out in the ocean. It was a gift that I gave myself for my birthday to work on facing and releasing more hidden fears.



So what is magic pelagic ?
watch the video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoqrAXBWpjw


There is a small group of divers going about 5 miles out into the darkness of the ocean, which is between 4000 to 7000 feet deep. A 50 foot rope is attached to you from the boat for safety, so you cannot exceed 50 feet depth, as darkness in the ocean can be very deceiving, weird things can happen into someone’s mind: ohh yeah!

To give you my visual of this kind of environment: it’s a combination of other planet (perhaps Mars) and water environment.

The ocean is completely dark, you only have a flash light and wonder around watching the magic creatures of deep ocean darkness that come to the surface emitting light. It is frightening and the same time mesmerizing (duality again).

The mystery of the unknown and the possibility of encountering some large animals like sharks that could have appeared out of nowhere was making me nervous before the dive.

When I descended in the water column I was totally disoriented and afraid (darkness fear kicked in). As I started to accommodate and befriended the ocean and its creatures (very rare, mostly unknown to men) I became one with the environment. I thought of the power of present moment!

I kept repeating to myself: ”It’s only a dive and it’s safe”…

When my fear was gone all sort of magic creatures started to manifest in front of my very eyes. WOW!!! Absolutely surreal!

Once we acknowledge and respect the darkness, the fear disappears, and the beauty and magic of the LIGHT emerges and we can see clearly.




And the Birthday Party goes on

We are noticing that everytime we go on a new adventure that wild animals seem to gravitate towards us more and more. It is the power of orgone (life essence) that we carry in us for so many years and we are so grateful for these gifts that we were blessed with.

Saying that, next morning I woke up knowing that dolphins made their presence to a particular bay to greet us. We went to the bay to check if the dolphins were there and sure enough they came to say “hi”. How cool is that?

We got rewarded with the gift of joy and playfulness of our long time dolphin friends.

Same as previous years they came to us surrounding with their joyful vibrations. My body was again upgraded to a higher level, I could feel their clicking and noise energizing my chakras. Energy exchanges happened. They let me know I was ready for more… this time a “whale attunement“.

It is so amazing the way humpback whales showed up everyday in my awareness. I could see them or hear them everyday either from the boat or shore. They were tons out there!

On different occasions I could see them with my third eye before they would make their presence known to us.

On returning from one of the dives, a few of them were actually coming towards our boat. I asked them for a sign and one of them breached right in front of us, showing his majestic skills. Letting go in the vastness of the ocean was the message”… Next we saw another one surfacing opening his mouth wide open very clear and then disappearing into the ocean. My understanding is that it’s pretty rare to see one with a mouth open.

The message was: Keep mouth slightly open and release the jaw in order to release unsupported emotional garbage. How cool is that?

Sea turtles followed me during some of swims or dives.. Some of them touched me with the flipper (front leg), some just came right in front of my mask to check me curiously.

Same thing happened with Manta rays - I allowed them to touch me.

We never touch them, we let them approach us and initiate contact, this way is much more powerful. It’s the power of orgone (life force) energy that attracts all kind of wild life, because life essence is present in each and every live creature on Earth.

　

Gathering of elevated souls - The power of Consciousness


“As it gains it's momentum it spirals out in waves of Unity and Synchronicity”

Again dolphins called: this time to a different bay. Why? They facilitated deep spiritual connections with people on the similar spiritual path: intuitives, spiritual teachers, spiritual musicians and healers from around the world. Constantin and I found ourselves in the middle of this circle of people doing powerful spiritual work for peace, global awareness while wild dolphins were boosting our powerful work. It was kind of shocking as none of us expected to do this work in this 3 dimension. It was more of a soul connection rather then human connection, Dolphins - the ohana (familiy) attuned us even deeper to the power of unity: we must learn to dance with one another with greater Wisdom and Love. I see the power of unity and consciousness happening in many small circles around the world, expanding exponentially.

Please be part of those Unity of Love circles, together we can change chaotic energies around us. It is the power of personal or group rituals that we lack in our modern world that could make us more powerful, more loving, more compassionate.

　

The temple of (ka)hunas

This very particular temple had such a weird vibe. An orgone offering was needed in order to help maintain peace in this particular bay and island. We later found out about the power of this sacred place. The secret teaching of mystic kahunas (Hawaiian shamans, healers) are meant to surface for the people that are ready to embrace their teachings. We encountered deep resistance and I had no idea I was supposed to gift this temple, but when spirit carried me there I had a huge “AHhaaaa” moment! We were guided again this time by the spirit of whale and dolphin to help open the channels of understanding and forgiveness around the temple, hence the environment surrounding the temple, expanding throughout the world.

　

Following the whales guidance

We never knew what will happen next and where we were guided to go and do, so we trusted the guidance of whales and dolphins.

We found ourselves heading towards the very north point of the Island. As we drove towards the north point, we saw from our vehicle tons of whales heading towards North. We were celebrating by singing “Balena!!! Balena!!!”

We stopped the car so we can communicate with them and realized how important was to do gifting and offerings to the very north point, which in shamanic tradition is associated with the sky element.

Few years back we were guided to do a gifting ceremony on the South Point to offer our gifts to the element of Water - Ocean. That time we also made offerings to Goddess Pele, the volcano Kilauea volcano (the fire element ) and also Earth element (Mauna Kea, tallest mountain in the world). Mauna Kea mountain is under water and when measured from its oceanic base, Mauna Kea is over 10,000 m (33,000 ft) tall—significantly taller than Mount Everest


The one that was left to be gifted this year was the Air- Element, which is associated with the North direction.

Fresh air is imperative! Don’t mean to scare anyone.. Do you ever watch our sky? If not, make a habit to watch it on a regular basis. Notice the quality of your air you are breathing. Have you heard of chemtrails, or geoengineering? If not do some research, stay open to what you’ll find. In case you know what chemtrails are then do something about it, please! Here is an audio that my souls sister Yasmine shares on how to stay healthy and protected from aerial poison: http://soundcloud.com/sovereignspirit/switching-operating-systems

After we have left Hawaii we've found out that Mother Earth gave birth to more Earth. It is the third time that history repeats itself - volcano Kilauea erupted, time for fire element activation. Second I have just found today of the Tsunami in Japan, and loss of lives and damages… My prayers are with them. Hawaii was spared this time. Ceremonies and work done helped release some of the tensions in this area… Hawaii is still in my prayers as I feel fiery dormant energies are still ready to surface.

The whales carry the history of Mother Earth and are in charge with keeping peace on Planet Earth. There are many weird events happening and we'll see even more disasters. We have to work with the whales to keep peace and highten our frequencies for the sake ouf our world.

　

Whale blessings,

Love all ways

Faeroe Islands: Sea Shepherd Undercover Operation Exposes Cetacean Mass Slaughter

These are not good news unfortunatelly,
what we can do to help? Spread the awareness of the mass murder of our cetaceans brothers and sisters and add them to your prayers!
May they leave in harmony with us humans!

~~~ here is the article~~~

Faeroe Islands: Sea Shepherd Undercover Operation Exposes Cetacean Mass Slaughter
click to enlarge
On July 19, 2010, a pod of 236 pilot whales was ruthlessly slaughtered in the town of Klaksvik in the Danish Faeroe Islands. Sea Shepherd was able to document the slaughter through the efforts of an undercover operative who had been living among the locals in order to capture footage of “the grind.” The grind is a cruel method of whaling that involves stranding pods of cetaceans in coves before severing their spinal chords with knives.

Sea Shepherd Undercover Operative Peter Hammarstedt, also First Mate of Sea Shepherd’s vessel, the Bob Barker, had been living undercover with the ferocious islanders for a week when he heard news of a grind happening in Klaksvik over the radio. He immediately drove to the scene. Grossly outnumbered and unable to physically stop the grind, Hammarstedt documented the bloodshed upon arrival.

“Pilot whales are known to travel in pods of 200-300 members. Two hundred and thirty-six pilot whales were slaughtered last night in Klaksvik: bulls, pregnant and lactating females, juveniles, and unborn babies still attached to their mothers by the umbilical chord. An entire pod that once swam freely through the North Atlantic has been exterminated in a single blood bath,” said Hammarstedt.

The Faroese government claims that the deaths of these whales are quick and painless, but the newly released grisly footage shows otherwise.

“One whale had five to six brutal chops to her head,” reported Hammarstedt. “The islanders basically used her as a chopping board. Her death would have been slow and extremely painful. Some whales are hacked repeatedly for up to four minutes before they finally die.”

It was equally apparent that the grind is indiscriminate and ruthless.

“Babies had been cut out of their mother’s dead bodies and left to rot on the docks,” said Hammarstedt, who photographed a number of dead infants and fetuses. “Pilot whale groups are strongly matriarchal; I can’t imagine the fear and panic that these mothers must have felt as their families were wiped out in front of them.”

The Faroese pilot whale grind is similar to the annual Taiji dolphin slaughter in Japan, documented in the award-winning film The Cove. The main difference is that there are at least eighteen different coves in the Faeroes where a grind could potentially take place, as opposed to one cove in Taiji, making it all the more difficult to anticipate where the killings will occur or to get there in time to intervene and prevent the murders.


Baby Pilot whales cut out of their mothers' bodies and left to rot



Pilot whales are classified as “strictly protected” under the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats. By allowing the slaughter to continue in the Faeroes, Denmark fails to abide by its obligations as a signatory of the Convention.

In order to gain access to the grind, Hammarstedt had been posing as a Swedish film student. Even though considerable steps had been taken to conceal his identity, he was ultimately recognized by several hunters due to his role in the Animal Planet TV series Whale Wars. Apparently, even the Faroese have heard of Sea Shepherd’s interventions against illegal whaling in the Antarctic.

When the whale killers began to follow Hammarstedt by foot at a distance, he quickly escaped to his car where he fled the scene and uploaded images and footage to get them safely out of the country. With his identity compromised, he began receiving threatening messages within the hour and was instructed by Sea Shepherd HQ to exit the country immediately.

Despite heightened scrutiny and police interrogation at the airport, Hammarstedt has confirmed that he has departed the Faeroe Islands.

Sea Shepherd has been actively opposing and confronting the Faroese grind since 1985 and remains one of the foremost advocates for the whales.

Whales communicate with human more then ever...

We'll will see more stories like this one because cetaceans are our brothers and sisters

A woman in CA hoped to inspire her friend, diagnosed with breast cancer, by stand-up paddling 40 miles.


Two hours of the 9 hours it took her to get from Catalina Island to Dana Point, she was accompanied by 30 foot minke whale.

Dolphins stampede

In my dream last night I was invited to swim with dolphins, however I noticed their very peculiar behavior. In my usual dolphin encounters (real time as well as astral) they are usually very friendly, playful and full of joy. In my dream I was with three more people trying to figure out why dolphins would swim so erratically- it looked like a dolphin stampede. A t some point we were worried they might crash onto our heads. After I got out of the water I sat down with a young man who seemed to be a scientist, trying to decipher dolphin messages. I have also seen tropical fish washed ashore…

Then I got the location where something will happen, like a tsunami or earthquake, there were 4 words… I cannot remember them except the word “Capricorn” and tropic”… The scientist and I worked on some geometric angles using the tropic of Capricorn, to find out the location and the radius was pretty big.

So I am asking you to please send prayers to this “unknown” location that seems to be in danger. This is a prophetic type dream and it usually becomes reality after a few days (usually 2) if I do not tell anyone or do nothing about it. Future can be changed and better being ridiculed than do nothing.

This type of dream requires more people working together.
I usually do a lot of work in the astral but at a much smaller scale. In one of my last working dreams few months ago I was in a bus trying hard to convince the driver to take another route because I was foreseeing a collision with a big track but he would not listen to me. So I jumped off the bus the very last second before it collided. Immediately I run towards the bus and started working on saving people’s lives by doing CPR and healing power work… My intention and prayers while helping them was that all people would be saved…
Two days after this dream, a news page popped up on my computer without me searching for it and saw an article about a bus crashing into a big track in London with many people being hospitalized with no one in critical condition. Thank God…
Please send your good thoughts to the situation …
Blessings,
Lilly
