The Healing Power of Dolphins
by Jennifer Moore continued from page 12

Dolphins seem to be natural healers. Makara realized this early on in her interactions. She had had chronic neck pain for years, she said, and tried everything to get rid of it (she had gone to chiropractors, who could fix it briefly, but it would always come back). Finally she just learned to live with the pain. One day she went out to swim with the dolphins, as she normally did, and began playing the leaf game (a game where you bring some leaves into the water and dolphins catch them on their fins, etc., generally just playing creatively in the water with you). She dove down and dropped off the leaves, and on the way up a dolphin jumped up and landed right on her head as she was surfacing. This, of course, was completely uncharacteristic of any dolphin behavior that she was used to, and it hurt as the dolphin weighed more than 200 pounds! She had a goose egg there, and a bit of blood even, and she did not understand how the dolphin had been so clumsy. Overall she was okay, though. Later, when she went home, it occurred to her that her neck did not hurt anymore. To this day, she has had no more pain.



A traveling salesman came to swim with the dolphins, she said, who for seven years had not been able to lift his arm above his head due to the pain of carrying heavy suitcases. With his first swim with the dolphins he came running up on the beach saying “I’m healed! I’m healed!” waving his arm above his head. She – and the others who interact with dolphins – have many stories of uncanny healings that have occurred with dolphins.

For example, a friend of Makara’s came to Hawaii to swim with the dolphins. She was a healthy woman just enjoying her vacation retreat. During the retreat, a dolphin came up between Makara and her friend and just stared into her friend’s eyes “for a good five minutes.” Her friend said she felt strong energy from him going through her body. When she went home a few days later, she had a regular check-up with her doctor. The doctor found a fairly large lump in her breast which they took out entirely in a biopsy. It was found to be malignant, but they got it all by taking out that one lump. Makara and her friend feel that the dolphin had somehow helped consolidate the cancer into that one lump, for her friend did regular breast self-exams and had never felt anything suspicious before. “Dolphins can scan our bodies like going through an MRI scan,” Makara says. “When they find something they use sound frequencies to bring into balance what is out of balance.”

How do we prove these types of abilities to our skeptical, scientific world, especially when mainstream thought indicates that no creature on earth surpasses human beings’ intelligence and overall abilities? Not only do dolphins seem to have healing abilities, but their capacity for remote viewing is most impressive (and our recent speakers, Russell Targ and Joe McMoneagle should be impressed with this). In 1974, for example, Scott Jones and Jan Northup conducted a study with a dolphin named Lucky at SeaArama in Galveston, Texas. Scott placed five instructions in five different sealed envelopes. Jan, who did not know what the instructions were, entered the tank with Lucky, and two judges, also without knowledge of the instructions, watched to record Lucky’s behavior. A judge would roll a pair of dice to determine which envelope to hand to Jan first. Jan would then read the instruction and mentally send it to Lucky (without any other signals).
 
Lucky was able to successfully perform the first two instructions, but a problem developed when he got to the third. Unknown to Scott when he wrote the instructions, Lucky would not be able to accommodate the instruction to jump in this particular tank since the roof over the top of it was too low for a jump. Thus, rather than attempt the requested jump, Lucky sent a thought to Jan indicating he couldn’t make the jump but would do something similar. When Jan received this message telepathically, she looked up and saw that the roof would prevent a jump and understood that Lucky was attempting to replicate a jump when he went to the center of the pool and bobbed up and down. For the fourth instruction, Lucky added a very dolphin-like element of surprise. He performed the task before Jan had a chance to open the envelope or read the instructions. When Jan then opened the envelope, she was startled to find that Lucky had correctly performed according to the instructions, as he also did with the instructions in the fifth and final envelope after Jan opened and read it. (Sandoz-Merrill 79)

What do we make of this behavior? It seems an obvious demonstration of intelligence, telepathy, and remote viewing. The judges, however, “marked his refused jump and the prematurely performed response as incorrect.” continues on page 14
