I felt the whales’ awareness of me as an individual, a female human, and their perception of

“family” and “kinship” as encompassing all beings of the earth. As they welcomed me to their

“pod”, they were acknowledging our commonality as living beings on this planet, as well as

our particular spiritual connection with each other. They felt me, I felt them, and this began a

journey of relationship with cetaceans that has profoundly guided and changed my life.

In the years since that first encounter, I’ve had the incredible privilege of spending extended

time in the water with wild humpback whales. I’ve been engulfed in the energy fields of

“dancers”—whales in their courtship ritual (a profoundly erotic and sacred expression of

sexuality and connection). Baby whales have played carefully around my body while their

mothers kept watch from below. Adult humpback whales the size of a school bus have come

close enough to look deeply into my eyes, while carefully moving their pectoral fins below me

so as not to harm my small, fragile human form.

I’ve floated in trance as the sound vibration of the “singers” moved through the molecules of

the water deep into my being, altering my cellular structure and opening my meridians and

chakras in ways I never dreamed possible. I’ve wept with gratitude for the deep gifts I’ve

received from the whales in their ocean home as they have allowed me to share a small piece

of their lives, their families, and their spiritual awareness.

When I first heard the voice of master yoga teacher and peace activist Rama Jyoti Vernon

chanting “OM” as she’d discovered it in her own body and voice, I felt the same cellular

vibration, overtones, and harmonics that I’d first heard and experienced in the water with the

singing humpback whales. As tears streamed down my face, I knew not only that I’d found

one of my most important human teachers, but that I’d been given a window into a common

interspecies language of sound healing, vibration, sacred geometry, and spiritual wisdom. I

had a vision of a time when the “universal cosmic vibration” that is OM was known by all

species...a frequency of sound and vibrational energy that encompassed this planet and far

beyond.

I developed a close and deep relationship with a female humpback whale whom I call “Kaiya.”

Kaiya has worked with me over a period of many years, both when I was with her in the

ocean, and long-distance through telepathic communication and spiritual transmission.
