| from the land. We knew that the energy of this area | | | | was the pain some avid dolphin fans felt when they |

| She prepped us by telling us to make sure we made | | | | they seem to know and reflect to people what kind |
| eye contact with them and just ask for them to | | | | of healing a person needs. And in some cases, they |
| come play. "They will circle you and approach you if | | | | can also teach us not to become co-dependent on |
| they want to play." And she went further to tell us | | | | them in order to validate our needs for love because |
| that if we see their tail going away from us, then | | | | that would belie the fact that it is truly around us at |

| If they want to play, you can offer them a leaf and | | | | that they were in the water. I checked in intuitively |
