Dolphin Jewelry Totem
The role of a Dolphin totem is that of a
healer and we can learn unconditional love from dolphins. The dolphin
teaches us to recall our inner child and to seek for universal harmony.
Healing
Recent studies confirm what indigenous peoples have known for centuries, that Dolphins possess an healing influence.
Dolphins will swim beside one who has the Soul of a Healer. The manifestation in which the healing takes place may be physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. Yet in whatever form this ability to heal others expresses itself, one who has Dolphin beside him/her, will be compelled to be of assistance to their fellow man.
Because of the ability and drive to heal the wounds and suffering of all Life, these individuals will often be found in the professions of physician, nurse, therapist, psychologist, energy worker, aroma therapy/massage therapy, etc. Additionally, many involved in healing animals (such as veterinarians), will also have Dolphin as either Power Totem, or Theme/Mission Totem.
Until one who swims with Dolphin discovers this inherent healing ability, there will be a certain loss of direction to their life, as though they are floating aimlessly in a vast and tumultuous ocean.
Unconditional Love
Someone with a Dolphin Totem will have a loving heart that is capable of tremendous depth and awareness. Generally speaking, these individuals will enter their life with an intuitive grasp and ability to feel and express Unconditional Love.
Compassion
From ancient times, tales have been handed down from the generation to generation, of Dolphins saving the lives of people adrift at sea. Many a sailor lost in shark infested waters, has been known to find himself surrounded by a pod of protective Dolphins, and ultimately rescued, by being carried safely to land.
What motivates such displays of apparent protectiveness toward a species that has been responsible for slaughtering hundreds of thousands of these intelligent and wise creatures? Is it merely chance or happenstance, or is there a deep underlying thread of compassion that exists within Dolphins?
Certainly, to watch these beautiful mammals with physically or mentally challenged children, there appears to be an intrinsic tenderness and genuine compassion. And as Dolphins are known to have active intelligence stemming from a brain that is larger than the human brain, with a frontal lobe (the area of the brain attributed to deductive reasoning, logic and possibly psychic abilities) covering a greater area, one would gather their actions are not only rooted in instinctual response, but in the understanding of the challenges human companions may be facing, and accompanying thought as to what their own actions toward these individuals should be.
Those with a Dolphin totem will have a deeply rooted sense of compassion for their fellowman.
As they begin their life as a youngster, these individuals will feel deeply for those who are underprivileged or are otherwise in need, and the Dolphin Soul will thus feel compelled to offer aid in whatever form they can contribute.
While this compassion will continue through their journey around the Sacred Hoop, these souls must learn the distinction between compassion that can genuinely assist another, and taking on another`s pain for them. While the former is a true blessing and can lead these individuals to make a worthy contribution where there is a genuine need, they must also experience the lessons that come with the later . . . to realize that they are not here to soak up ALL the worlds woes like a ever willing sponge.
Dolphin individuals are here to provide the guidance, compassion, love and support to their fellow travelers, not to take another`s lessons from them. And therein lies the greatest challenge for these sensitive souls. Due to this challenge, these individuals may often experience a bit of a "Christ Complex" feeling driven to take the burden of pain from others to save those individuals from feeling the pain themselves. This often manifests itself in the form of the one who swims with Dolphin taking in partners with chemical or alcohol dependency issues, or other debilitating conditions, with the firm belief they can heal that wounded soul.
Yet neither the Dolphin
soul, nor the one for whom they are absorbing the pain, is ultimately
served by such actions, as we are ALL here to walk our own Path, and no
other soul can do this for us. Of course, this is ALL a part of the
lesson for one with Dolphin Totem, as often these experiences end in
great emotional pain which reinforces the lesson of achieving a
requisite amount of detachment, or that one can only help another who
desires to help him/her Self.***
Breath/Universal Harmony
The Dolphin is a truly amazing mammal that dwells simultaneously within two wolrds, one of water (emotions/soul) and one of air (intelligence/mind).
From watching the Dolphin we them existing in the two environments that we, as people must have in order to survive: water and air.
The breath of the dolphin, who lives in the ocean yet must surface for air in order to survive, teaches us the importance of rhythm and the necessity of breath.
The Medicine of Dolphin Totem is Universal Harmony, thus by observing the ebb and flow of the Ocean tides, Dolphin Soul recognizes the rhythm of ALL Life and may become One with his/her environment. As mentioned earlier, Dolphin is a mammal of two worlds one of water and the other of air. By examining these two realms of ~Being~ a clearer message may arrive as to the true Role and Medicine of Dolphin Spirit.
Water is necessary for ALL life to exist. This is not only true for we of the two-leggeds, it is also true for our animal brothers and sisters, the plants, flowers and Standing People (trees), indeed ALL Life needs water in order to thrive and continue the cycle of physical life.
Yet there is more here than the literal interpretation, as in Earth Medicine, Water also represents our Soul and Emotional Self. Thus, for an individual who has Dolphin as their Totem, a strong spiritual foundation and connection is key to their progression along the Earthwalk, an essential component that is as necessary to the Dolphin individual as Water is for the physical body to maintain Life.
Emotions will also be a very deep and a predominant feature of the Dolphin persons Journey along the Red Road, both in terms of experiencing and acknowledging their emotions, and in learning to integrate them so that they do not overwhelm. Remember, the Dolphin must come up for air, and herein lies the challenge, for Air in Earth Medicine represents the Intellect or Higher Mind. Thus, there is the need for these souls to learn an adequate level of detachment from the pain and suffering of others so that they will be able to assist those in need, without being pulled under by pain that is not their own to carry. If they do not learn and absorb this crucial lesson, then the Dolphin individual risks being pulled under by tumultuous waters and drowned.
Yet once Dolphin Soul has
learned the need and process of rhythm between diving into the depths of
the spirit and emotions, and surfacing for the requisite air
(detachment), then they will harness the Medicine of Universal Harmony,
and breathe fresh Air into the vast Waters of the Human Experience,
bringing depth, compassion and wisdom to share with ALL.
Sensitivity
Like all members of the Dolphin & Whale family, the Bottlenose Dolphin is highly a intelligent and sensitive creature, with a perception and awareness that is astounding.
The care that these awesome creatures exhibit toward their offspring and to the sick and injured members of the pod, as well as the dedication to all ~pod~ members, goes far beyond the explanation of mere biology alone, and seems indicative of a heightened sense of spirituality and genuine caring.
For the two-legged beside whom Dolphin swims, there will be a great deal of emotional and ~psychic~ sensitivity. These are the individuals who possess a heightened awareness of the suffering of Others, and will immediately sense the pain that may lay behind the casual words spoken or assurances that "everything is fine." Some inner ~knowing~ within the Dolphin soul will be triggered in those instances, a reflection of the Dolphin`s own sonar capabilities.
Although there is a marked degree of sensitivity within the Dolphin Soul, there also exists the ability to draw back from actually taking on the pain and suffering of those around them. It is an inherent understanding that to do so, would "rob" that one whom they desire to assist, from the Life Lessons that soul is here to learn. Yet often this inherent knowledge is only awakened after some painful lessons of their own, though once the memory has been awakened, it serves them well in their effort and "call" to assist their fellow two-leggeds.
