Awakening with the Dolphins: A Journey into Sataya

Something is happening.

Last October, on the last day and last swim with the dolphins on our Dolphin & Yoga retreat, something profound occurred. All the other boats had left Sataya, and it was just me and our group in the water. The dolphins were exceptionally playful, and we were swimming with them in one of the shallower parts of the reef. I was so happy to see them so happy and was really in the moment with them. One particular dolphin came close to me and started circling around me—and that’s when it happened. I could see the dolphin’s green aura. It was so bright, this shiny, glowing green that surrounded the outline of its body. The dolphin swam to the side to join another small pod, and that’s when I realized that all the dolphins had a bright green aura around them. I started to cry; my heart burst open. Not only did they truly see me, but I could now see a deeper, more intimate layer of them. Time stopped. It always felt like magic being with them, but to literally see them in this "new" light—it was magic unfolding right before my eyes. I didn’t want it to end. I floated on the surface and felt their healing flow through to my heart. I could have died in that moment, and I would have gone in peace, for I was entirely and completely whole.

Then something happened again. Last night, I was falling asleep on the sofa with my dog. I was relaxed, in that space between wakefulness and sleep. My mind was quiet, I was cozy, and I could feel myself drifting into sleep any moment. And just then, I felt my third eye activate. A white light shot out from between my eyebrows, and suddenly, I was in Sataya. The dolphins were swimming right there in front of me, looking into my eyes. I started to hear the words, "human beings." I asked them, “Human beings, what? What’s happening?” The words continued to flow: “Human beings can change the frequency of Sataya.” I understood.

Sataya is a portal that exists outside of time and space. It is a place where deep, soul-level and cellular healing takes place. It is a place of extremely high vibration, and anyone who visits knows this to be true. You "know" the precise moment when you enter Sataya. When I connected with the dolphins last night, I intuitively understood what they were communicating to me. They need high-vibrational people with open hearts, love, kindness, gratitude, authenticity, and courage to visit Sataya. It is so important for the dolphins that Sataya remains a portal of healing and the expansion of consciousness. It was a confirmation that the "retreats" are much more than just a "yoga retreat." We come to Sataya to heal, to gain wisdom, to open our hearts. But we also visit Sataya to help her remain a high-vibrational portal—through our ceremonies, our intentions, and our community. Once you visit Sataya, you become her, and she becomes you.
