Hawaii7

The next morning we again drove to Two Step Bay with hopes of dolphin encounters. My excitement mounted as we left the car and scanned the water for those tell-tale fins, and it only took a second for me to see them rising up from the water in their graceful, undulating arcs, with an occasional spout or two as punctuation. The dolphins greeted us this day with their usual vigor, though the pod was beginning to slow down a bit for sleep.

It becomes a soothing meditation to float upon the sparkling waves of the bay, my breaths deep and rhythmic and quite audible through my snorkel as the resting pod glides past me. Under me they move through the water in silent, merkaba-like formations. There is much sexual activity among the dolphins, as three groups of three take turns pleasuring each other amid gentle and languid fin-tip touches. Time slips away as the dolphins embrace me with their energy, gliding by me effortlessly only to return and repeat the pattern, leaving only peace and sweetness in the waters around me.

After nearly two hours in the bay it is time to return to land, though I am still feeling quite at home in the water. As I near the lava ledge that leads to the black lava “beach”, I am approached by a very persistent Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle. She is mid-sized among the turtles in the bay, maybe 18 inches long, and seems to be beckoning to me. She stands out from all the turtles I have seen because she has very beautiful and clear rust colored markings on her back. The sun reflects off her patterns as she changes direction and energetically asks me to come with her. There is definite communication between us. She offers me a gift.

I respectfully follow her at a distance off toward the shallows, as she glances back invitingly. I feel so much love passing between us in these moments! I know there is something that she wants to show me; that I am very privileged to be allowed to see. I look down into the water that is maybe 10 feet deep and I see that she has brought me to her family! There are several turtles resting on the sandy bottom within protective coral ledges and outcroppings. She seems to say goodbye to me before she slowly makes her way down to her brethren, and slips into her sandy bed for a rest that may be two hours underwater without another breath of air.

HAWAII: FISH PLAY FOLLOW THE LEADER

I am so grateful for this special and deep connection to another marvelous sea creature. Yet another initiation has occurred through our silent, respectful and loving communication. I am reminded of a local channeler in the Sedona area, Cynthia Williams, who had her life change the first time she looked into the eye of a dolphin. So much takes place in these moments of energy exchange, so much healing and opening occurs.

My last moments in Two Step Bay were dazzling, as I took in all of the life around me and felt myself connect to all life on the planet in a new way. The Bay is alive with countless marine creatures, and I felt on the deepest level that they were all my relatives. Our edges blurred. Fish darting to and fro invited me to play, coral gleamed in shafts of sunbeams creating rainbows of color, turtles danced in the swells of waves, and my dolphin family continued its peaceful time of slumber, slowly circling the bay. There was a rhythm to this dance of life, and I was totally in synch with it; immersed in it fully. I stood on the lava after I emerged from my watery home, and as I looked out on the Bay the last time I felt the greatest joy and appreciation fill all aspects of me. The breeze on my skin went right through me, and the sweet smell of the ocean air bathed me with its complicated, salty overtones. I realized that my senses were amazingly receptive, as I received many magical gifts from the Big Island in an instant that still continues in this present moment.

In the afternoon we took time to visit an amazing crystal garden in Kona, high above the water. Marta Barreras is a Feng Shui teacher on the Big Island who also has some of the most fabulous crystals around her property. We soaked up the energy from her wonderful, highly charged crystal points and huge geodes, as well as some glorious Hawaiian sunshine.

I slept deeply my last night on the Big Island. I know this place has become part of me; has always been on some level. My time with the turtles and fishes and dolphins and volcanoes has been exquisite, and I know there are even more wondrous events about to enfold on Kauai.

PLEASE VISIT KAUAI, LAST STOP OF THE JOURNEY
