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.
