one of my shaman mentor's saw during journeying that I had a spirit animal- a sea turtle that he could integrate in me if I wanted and I was like I actually don't like those aspects of myself- feeling slow mentally (especially lately because I am having to temporarily cushion my mind while I finish healing some childhood and anscestrial wounding stuff and feeling like I have to be super protected from everything else around me) and physically and then he was like well it's interesting at first I saw a dolphin- let me track this.... wait, it's a shark! and I was like what !??0.0 but I'm a pacifist and I do not even know how to see any good qualities in a shark and he was like yeah I've never had anyone have a shark before.... and we decided on that it could mean independence and strictness on setting boundaries lol😊🤭(benevolent empath stuff) and I decided not to integrate either of those and he was like well the two couldn't be more opposite from each other so they cancel each other out anyway, and I was like yeah I wonder what spirit was trying to tell me.... and he was like don't take the spirit animals too seriously they are just metaphor
but I kept thinking about it and sloooowly.... I realized that it was myself and Michael and that when we come together it creates a happy intelligent dolphin :p which is why I used to merge energies with him so much lmao
but what does this mean ? does this mean that we are supposed to be together or that maybe our energies will just keep subconsciously entwining until we are both healed? (I used to purposefully do it but lately I tried to block it from happening as much as possible until I realized that I felt off balance and now it is just happening without me purposefully doing it- it is not spiritually raping anymore though which is good)
