In October 2007 I had a very strong intention of being in the water with the dolphins. I had spoken with people have been doing this for years and somehow it eluded me. I had seen them many times from boats. And one time I was on a snorkel boat and we were in the water and the dolphins came to swim with us. I didn't know what to do. It was fun, but it was random.In October I went to buy a wetsuit top and a new snorkel. I listened to dolphin and whale music. I meditated. I just wanted to be in the water with them and feel what it felt like to be free as a dolphin. To be one with them.
I got to the water's edge to get in. The very first time I went in the dolphins came. It was so magical. I was a little nervous, there wasn't anyone around. I didn't know what to do. It was a big ocean for me to be there! I had never gone out so far before. It was exhilarating to know that they heard me and that they made a dream come true. And many more times after that!
However, I do know that many times after that first experience I have had dolphins swim with me for long periods of time. Sometimes one dolphin, sometimes a couple of dolphins and sometimes pods of 50-60. I have
had dolphins suspend themselves next to me. Here's one of those photos. I completely stopped and made sure I was stopped. And the dolphins were still there. This went on for at least a minute, maybe longer. And this particular group of dolphins did it again. It was amazing. They just stop mid-stream. The other pod swam by fairly quickly and this particular pod of dolphins just stayed by me as they posed for the camera!

A friend of mine who
is very in tune with the dolphins said that she called in the pods. She was not kidding. There were about 100. It didn't matter where you were the dolphins came. Sometimes 20, 30, and sometimes all of the groups. They were jumping. They were singing. They were playing with the boats. It wa
s clear that they wanted to be with us. It was obvious that there was a huge dolphin party and I was invited. Let me tell you...if you ever get an invitation to a dolphin party, accept the invitation! It's a party you will remember for a lifetime.
