DolFinologyÓ Program
A holistic, multi-disciplinary behavior modification/motivational Program. Developed by Patricia Pellicciotti. Piloted in Cairo, Egypt. That includes her Indigo Wisdom for bringing up kids and grown-ups called, Happy Face…with ShamanSense. (Registered in Europe as Baby English Playgroup) incorporated with Dolphin-Human Interaction Therapy.

This is a story that happened in Egypt but it could happen anywhere…anywhere, that is that maintains a Dolphin-Human Interaction Therapy Program for Special Needs children and children with chronic diseases. What makes this story important is that it was conducted in a country that offers absolutely little or nothing for these types of children. All of the parents who participated in this program had the economic means to travel around the world to attempt everything possible to aid their children to reach the most minimal of improvements be it emotional or physical. I received spiritual and emotional and gratification, love, and joy shared lots of tears, felt goose bumps riding up and down my spine on a daily basis. And it was a unique experience. The program was carried out with sensitivity towards the dolphins and beluga whales and their individual comforts. And they too, treated me with respect and sensitivity. To the point that within a very short period of time, they recognized my voice when I called them. I am rereading this that I wrote in 2002 and today it is 2006 and I still well up with sentiment and nostalgia for I will never forget the courage and commitment by the kids and parents and their siblings.
I want the families to know that I pray for them and them of them often.

THE KIDS.

Day 1 went like this.
K male, autistic, age 12; H. male, Downs’ Syndrome age 5 and Y, male, Attention Deficit Disorder and dyslexic, age 7 all came to play with the dolphins and me. Y and H was trepidations at first, after minutes of encouragement and motivation went for a ride with the mama dolphin. But K a Veteran dolphin mate swimmer took off like a shot, without help. He acted like a thoroughbred stud at the racetrack starting gate.

Day 2. Learning/emotional curve slump day, had K in the running and the lead, with exceptional attitude and cooperation and follow-through of instructions, while Y and H found every average little kids excuse in the world to not go for a swim from needing to go to the bathroom to looking towards his little brother to play with. Not a problem, in fact, a joy, because he expressed this in 4 and 5 word phrases, which according to his medical history, could not. Eventually, Y joined K with coaxing.

Day 3 returned to normal and had them all swimming like champs, including showing their enthusiasm enough to drag me in with them then decided to joke around and grab me by the neck in his excitement to ride along with me. No fret, S the life guard/ kids swimming instructor, was johnny on the spot to make sure nothing went haywire. It did not.

The program continued for 10 days.

Recap of Results.

K repeats words without articles or prepositions in playgroup, in the water, precisely repeats anything we say. I noted that he had difficulty maintaining eye contact. After, 3 encounters, not only did he eyeball me but everybody, familiar or not.

H’s medical history reported he did not formulate sentences, distinctly, Day 1, he clearly repeated a full four word phrase

Y’s history said that he lacks attention and concentration. Day 1 he not only associated and attentively concentrated on word, picture association for 40 minutes but he also, enthusiastically concentrated on coloring two pages of animals... the first page outside the lines, the second one completely inside the lines.

About this Holistic Program

This was in Egypt, but, these occurrences are common events and reactions around the world, wherever, since 1973, when Dolphin/beluga whale-human assistance training had been first conducted.

What is this? A holistic, multi disciplinary, behavior modification/motivational program, called, Dolfinology authored by me, Pattie Pellicciotti shaman therapist and alternative medicine/therapies researcher. It combines two of my programs. An indigo wisdom method for bringing up kids and grown ups for spiritual self-discovery and self healing incorporated, entitled Happy Face Method into a swim with the dolphins, the shaman of the mammal species.

The objectives are simply stated and modestly set but not always that simple to achieve, in normal classroom circumstances or settings, with normal children, let alone with disabled or ill children. However, with the assistance of these marvellously miraculous mammals therapeutic classroom goals are being achieved quicker world-wide and more effectively, pain is being controlled, such as in cases of children and adults suffering with cancer, leukaemia, emotional & physical trauma, etc.

How can it help? This program does not prevent or cure disease or disability. Better stated. No one has been able to carry forth a long-term sessions to know so. The programs are cost effectively compared to established therapies, increases attention, motivation and specific skills, in both the short- and long term. And in most cases reduces stress and anxiety.

What can it help?

It’s easier to ask what it cannot help. The list of diseases experimented looks like an alphabet soup. They range from “A” for agenesis of corpus callous to asthma to “T” for tactile defensiveness. It has been discovered by researchers that in some way shape or form it is a proven behavior modification tool.
In a case abstract from Nathansen 1998, where the durability follow-up (one year later of a two week, 17 therapy sessions, indicated associated increases in language, speech, gross and fine motor function for the children with severe disabilities, compared to a minimum of six months of conventional speech or physical therapy. Of those polled and responded 95% of these severe cases provide at least some help with beneficial long-term effects on the children treated in a multi-functional program.

Why does it work?

The dolphin and beluga Legend.
Stories of human relationships with dolphins go back many centuries. These stories from long ago continue to fascinate mankind and spark the imagination of many. For example, when pirates threatened historian Herodotus of Arion’s life. While on board a ship he expressed a last wish to sing a final song. He decided that since he must die at the hands of pirates he might as well as jump overboard to take his own life. He sang, jumped, but did not drown. A dolphin heard his song and came to his rescue and carried him 200 miles to shore. Patricia, the author of this article had two incidents in her life when she was saved. Once at approximately 5 years old while out on a small motor boat with her father on a crabbing trip. The boat capsized from an unexpected storm with the motor having flooded. Between the bay and the ocean, the boat had started to go into the ocean waters when it capsized. Along came a beluga and rescued both. Second dolphin experience of my life was a little more mystical and esoteric. I had been locked up into my walk-in closet following a violent crime that was perpetrated on me that left the convicted parties when captured with 93 counts of criminal charges. When the two left my house, I began praying for a way to have the ropes unbound and the door unlocked. After a short time in meditative prayer, I saw the door open, and at the door jam was a dolphin like fin. Motioning me to come and get up, while the fins started to make a motion around the robes to be untied. The robes snapped away and I got out of the closed in a pool of blood. Suddenly, the fins disappeared and the phone that had been ripped out of the wall had a dial tone. Allowing me to telephone out for help.

The make-up of the mammals.

They communicate with each other using a variety of visual and acoustical signals. Each dolphin has what is known as a signature whistle. They also possess a special sensory ability that enables them to navigate in any conditions. Using this ability, biological sonar, called echolocation, dolphins can see objects by using their ears. They send out a series of clicks. The whistle produces an image of the object in their brains.

It is believed by researchers that these sounds together with their loving, affectionate, motherly innate nature produce relaxing effects on the brain frequency. Render an altered state of consciousness from beta to alpha and sometimes to theta. This state puts the human brain and body into a complete relaxed state, which predisposes acceptance and stimulation of its natural anti-body system. Years of development and use of Happy Face Theory…with ShamanSense didactic method has proven that at its minimum increased, socialization, improved learning abilities, of normal and handicapped children. Incorporating Aura therapy with all the other elements. The new control groups experiment is to stimulate and test theta brainwave activity coupled together with the previously hypothesized endorphin release with the dolphin interaction. See if it minimalizes tension, aggressivety, relieve chronic depression, and improve cognitive response of mentally handicapped children. Hoping that, it will reduce the number of sessions required, historically, to date. This is one of my goals in research.

The correlation between this and energy is clear. Everything in the world is a vibration; we all produce and exist because of our AURA, energetic body. Music is a sound or vibration, our voices as well. From ancient times religions have utilized music and singing as prayer for spiritual mechanisms, Vibration of the dolphin voice our tone of voices together help relax and stimulate the receptor. Water is also vibration, and known as healing and therapeutic effects. Remember the Lourdes water? All this and much more is proven for years in USA that musical note sound frequencies in general alter our perceptions and receptiveness. Such as, saying a word or having a thought produces an actual physical vibration. When all this is coupled together sound is the carrier wave of that frequency resonates and each echo corresponds to a musical note which then produces a state where the organisms vibrates. At this point a change occurs in organism. The organism becomes subtly different.

How? The child and the family must be interviewed, evaluated and realistic goals established based on this plus a medical history review.

What else should you look for?

1. It’s in fashion to help handicapped kids make sure the service is offered for proper motivations.

2. Safe, clean, protected, proper temperatures for both the water and the air associated. There must be consistency, precision and sense of organization. As well as, a symphony of objectives between administration, management and professional personnel. Desire for publicity or assembling research should not outweigh common sense. Economic, management, administrative decisions and therapeutic procedures should not jeopardize or compromise the underlined requisite of the health and welfare of the children.

3. The other caution is that the mammals are protected in accordance with the Dolphin Protection Association Standards. There are many good establishments of this nature around the world that know how to be homeostatic and consider all points for mutual benefit and who maintain and establish ethical standards.

What their past personal and medical histories did not say, I will tell you, the kids are loving, affectionate, open, willing to grow and sociable and gave me the grandest greetings showered with kisses before during and after each session. The improvements witnessed during the sessions are also mind-boggling. Such as, H, who, was reported to have difficulty with clear pronunciation and long phrases, after seeing me dance with the dolphin, clearly shouted, “I want to dance”. Or Y whose mother said, her son would get bored or be afraid to go into the water, who was hard pressed to get out of the water when time was up on three of the three days. K, who said to me on day 2 and 3 after the swim, I love you. (By the way, in English, Arabic and French). Being with these children, exceptional creatures of God enriched me. The dolphins recharge my psychic capabilities. These sensations supersede any other incentive for performing this type of study. Thanks kids!

And thanks to Baher, who sincerely and dauntlessly volunteered to help me by charting response designations of the kids.
