raybearI got to work early. Who knew?
I had a quiet evening of bleucheeseburgers at Angel's then shared jack&coke's with Damon while we watched our friend play The Singing Bartender for the evening. We caught up on the past week and I told more than one random story that involved the plot of a made-for-television movie.
The bus came immediately and dropped me off at home, where I drew a bath and received a phone call from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wearemany literally thirty seconds before I was going to call her. I climbed into my big comfy bed and talked until I nearly fell asleep.
Last night I had lots of dreams that were constantly interrupted by a need to blow my nose. I only remember waking up once, but this morning I looked at my nightstand and saw a dozen used tissues piled up.
The most vivid dream involved a whale, specifically a humpback whale. Part of the scene involved rehabilitating the creature, who would morph into a person when out of the water, though it wasn't it's preferred or natural state. Very The Last Unicorn feeling. I and others returned her to the ocean, then found ourselves stranded in the water, unable to get back on land because it wasn't beach, only rocks with steep drop offs and nothing to grip and pull ourselves up. The whale boosted us back onto dry land. I remember the sensation of being lifted very vividly.
Having been born with a protective coat of blubber, whales know how important insulation can be. They understand the sacred power of water and realize the importance of taking time out to breathe. Their sensitivity to sound and movement connects them to the core energy of primal life.
Whale reintroduces us to our creative and intuitive energies to show us a talent we've forgotten about or haven't been aware existed. People with this totem are able to understand the ancient language of "energy vibrations," and are able to distinguish where others are truly coming from. Whale asks us to recall our past and listen to its stories so we can creatively heal old wounds.

WHALE (Experience). Working with Whale teaches us about the importance of observing, and about knowledge based on experience. We also can learn much about being in harmony with the environment. Other lessons are strength, patience, and to realize the magnificence in all things.

Legend says that the whale once walked upon the earth. When the land
masses began to sink and re-shape, all the knowledge of the universe was
locked into the memory banks of the whale and it was sent into the sea. If
you carry whale medicine, you also carry the memories of much
knowledge that can be tapped into if you honor the teachings of whale.
Whale tells you to be sensitive to tone, and the vibrational qualities in
tones. If you're alert, you can activate your built-in sonar to be conscious
of things and people moving in and around your personal space. Do you
just "know" when someone is near, or something is amiss? Whale
medicine is working.
As each family of whales has its own "song", you too can find your soul
song to recall those memories stored deep in your super conscious mind. Hum, whistle, sing, chant, use tones until you find that one level of tone that is yours alone. You will know. It will resonate deep in your soul seat. Remember the sound, and use it as often as you can -- especially in meditation. You will find knowledge you didn't know you had floating to the surface. You are tapping into the memory banks of your soul.
Whale also speaks to us of creativity, and of the need to rely on our own talents and abilities. As with the buffalo, no part of the whale goes to waste. Do not be guilty of wasting your own value, your own in-born strengths. Use your own instincts and creative abilities to make the ordinary things in your life magical. Let your imagination soar.....but be careful to stay grounded and in touch with reality.
Controlled breathing, and the ability to calm and quiet our bodies is also whale medicine. When you're under
tension and stress, visualize the blow hole of the whale spouting streams of water. Take deep breaths and forcefully blow it out. As the breath is forced out, see your inner body relaxing. Calm your heart rate; slow your blood flow; quiet your mind. Let your anxiety wash away as whale carries them into the deep water.
I need whale medicine like a mofo.
