Swimming With Dolphins: A Healing Experience

A Healing Experience

This is how it started …

I was sitting in a crowded underground in London, to be more specific on the District line from Wimbledon to High Street Kensington, when I started to red this book “Swimming With Dolphins: A Healing Experience “ by  Lisa Tenzin-Dolma.

I think I picked out this book as on the cover it had these two beautiful dolphins in crystal clear blue waters and at that time outside it was a grayish cold day.
Do you know that feeling when you get lost in the book? When I stared reading it, all the noise around me disappeared and I was part of the amazing journey of people who swam with the dolphins.
I did not think of swimming with dolphins before reading this book.
You see, I come from a place where we have more snow then sun. I am good in skiing, in putting layers and layers of cloth so the crystal clear blue waters were at that time more of a fantasy.
The other thing that caught me was the words “ a healing experience” .Sorry for my naiveté but until that point it never occurred to me that one can “heal”. I was young so I was smart, but I wasn’t even realizing on how much I do not “see”. I never felt so smart as when I was in my early 20.
That time an older person told me “You make plans and meanwhile life is happening” . Oh boy, did he make me so mad. What was he saying? that I don’t know where I want to be in life or what I want to do? The option of my life not being as I planned it did not exist. I can tell you today, 12 years later, that now I know what he was talking about, but that is a different story. I also stopped feeling the smartest!
This is how I learned about healing. The idea of healing stayed in my mind.
By the time I finished the book, I was madly in love with the dolphins and I believed in their Healing powers but I was still in London. It took me more then a year until my first encounter with the dolphins.
