On the third day of my ‘Angels of the Blue’ Retreat in Niue, I had an incredible conversation with this turtle on our snorkelling trip. 🥰
She spoke to me about the power of our breath, and said to me “If you watch me, I don’t make any sudden movements and this allows me to maintain a state of peace and calm, which means I do not have to breathe frequently. If you practised breathing deeper and slower you would find that you would experience less stress and anxiety in your system. If I become stressed and make sudden movements then I need to breathe more frequently. I have noticed that many humans have fast and shallow breathing. Breathwork would be a good tool for many of you at this time to cultivate more peace!” ❤️
This turtle swam with me for ages, initially moving very slowly beneath me just under the surface of the water, inviting me to float and focus on my breath. She then surfaced for air and came back around and swam underneath me. She was very calm in the presence of my group and definitely enjoyed communicating and being filmed, as if she knew her message would reach more than just me. 🙂
She remained with the group until we got out of the water and then much to the delight of the group, she surfaced by the boat before we had to say goodbye. 🥰❤️🐢
