I have been thinking about that stingray and wondering what he could mean for that little girl. The water is a place for delving into or dealing with emotions and emotional issues.
A heron walks in the water and on land. Whenever I see one, I know that I will be mulling, dealing with and enduring deep emotions or emotional issues. A stingray lives in deep water normally. It looked like it was trying to hug her so I can’t help but wonder if this is an emotional or sensitive child.
According to Ted Andrews, a stingray has an electro-receptor on its snout which one uses to find buried food. Some emit low-level electrical pulses, which alert them to danger or lead them to food. “When stingrays are totems or messengers, people get tingling sensations to alert them to the presence of danger, treasure, etc. …When the stingray appears, trust in your own inner guidance (Andrews, 1999, p. 401).” Andrews talks about stingrays signifying gracefulness navigating in any setting. He also mentions a stinging tail which can be used for defense.
As I think about the stingray bobbing up towards the girl’s face, I think it really means something special. I think she is coming into her psychic ability and the stingray could sense it. Most creatures (cats, dogs, birds, horses, elephants, etc) are psychic. This little girl needs to be taught to trust her intuition and guidance, which we usually squelch in kids. I also wonder if she is special in any other ways. If I heard she worked for an aquarium twenty years from now, I would not be surprised.
