Many of you will not be surprised to learn that dolphins are an important component of the Seven Animals, Seven Chakras system of healing. I travelled to Bunbury, Western Australia in late January 2009 to swim with the wild dolphins and learn more from them about their healing potential. I had several communications with the dolphins while I was there over three days.

To begin with, I was very upset by so much of the brutality of the dolphin world as I had arrived with an expectation of animals that were very emotional, loving and close. I had to ask the dolphins about it. Here is one communication I had with a resident dolphin named “Sharkie”. The locals call him that because he carries tremendous scars, as well as a broken jaw, from a shark attack.

LG: I have been very disturbed by what I have seen in the dolphin world with regards to the grief experienced by mothers when they lose their babies; by the violence of gang harassment of female dolphins at mating times; and by the violent injuries that I see you live with. It saddens me terribly and I feel you pain and suffering. Is that how you perceive it? Or is the pain and suffering a human construct?

Sharkie: What you see is that we walk in two worlds. Our physical body is here with you in the third dimension while our spiritual selves are already in the fourth dimension. The pain and suffering is locked her in the third. The joy you see in the dolphins in a reflection of the release we find in the fourth. We are ascending to the fourth dimension.

LG: Do you know when you will become fully ascended?

Sharkie: It is in negotiation.

LG: Will your physical beings leave this planet when you reach the fourth?

Sharkie: No.

LG: Do you have any messages for humans with regards to their throat chakras?

Sharkie: We see that humans are very choked. It is like you all have a fist around your throat. Or, if you like, as though your throat is the thin neck of a tall bottle and only a little can pass through it at a time–drip, drip, drip. It is very hard for energy to flow down from the crown to the heart, where it is needed.

LG: What can we do to improve this?

Sharkie: Listen.

LG: Do you mean listening to dolphin sounds?

Sharkie: Yes, that would help, naturally. But speaking less and listening more with each other. Your words are like an out-of-control motor on a boat, spinning you in a circle and dragging you off course. You must quieten yourselves and listen.

LG: Thank you for being here today to talk to me. I really appreciate it. I have one final question before you go. Why do animals have to suffer?

Sharkie: Our suffering is a reflection of humanity’s suffering. Whatever you see here is what is happening for you in the human world too.

LG: Is there anything we can do to help end this suffering?

Sharkie: Pray.

LG: Pray?

Sharkie: Yes. The more you pray [and engage in spiritual work] the more you raise your vibrations and the  more you release us.

LG: Thank you Sharkie. As my gift to you, I ask to continue to send you Reiki throughout the day, that everything I touch until five o’clock this evening should correspond to all your chakra positions. I ask that a healing bank of energy be set up for you so that you may draw upon it in whatever way is right for you. Thank you.

Sharkie: You’re welcome my child.

[Note: I haven't read the transcript of this communication for over a year. And I just recently typed up the whale communication. And it has blown me away to see that both the dolphin and the whale referred to me as "my child". How amazingly special!]
