You are in that present moment. If you're on a boat, and there are dolphins right in front of the boat surfing, righting the bow waves, looking and turning to look up at you, and making eye contact, that is a most mindful experience. Wisdom From The Sea Oracle Deck. Anne: I have a brand new Oracle Card Deck called Wisdom From The Sea. I have been trained as a certified Dolphin Energy Healer. It's like any other kind of energetic healing like Reiki. I consciously ask the dolphins and the whales to send their powerful healing energy through me. I'm somebody who is not sensitive to energy. I can't see it or feel it. Some people can see auras, but not me. What I do get is, in my mind, it's like watching a mind movie that the dolphins and whales send me, a series of images and messages for my client. Oracle card decks are great if you have a challenge, a question, or if you just want some guidance. Swimming With Whales When we swim with whales, we're not swimming, we're floating, and they're swimming around us. There's nothing we can do to keep up with a whale when it wants to swim. Usually we'll find a mom and a calf and Mom will go down and just rest. But baby has to come up more often for air than mom does. So when baby comes up for air, sometimes it'll come take a look at us and they'll wonder, ‘what are you guys doing here?' We met a baby and that was amazing. Now we're not allowed to touch the wild whales, right? Well, this little baby did not read that memo and it literally came to every single one of us and touched us and reached out. He literally reached out his pectoral fin to me and it was inches from my face. And I just gently laid my hand on its pectoral fin. And she went inches from a number of my group. Everybody in my group touched this baby whale or the baby whale touch them. It was the most amazing experience. Words of Wisdom “I'm seeing in my mind's eye, this beautiful eye of a whale that's looking directly at you and just beaming you so much love and to let you know that you are loved, you are not alone, and the whales and dolphins are here to support you and guide you. All you have to do is ask”.

Dr. Janet Smith Warfield interviews Anne Gordon de Barrigon, pioneer of whale watching in Panama, who creates spiritual Whale and Dolphin wisdom retreats to help others learn wisdom from and connect deeply with the dolphins and whales.

Guest Anne Gordon de Barrigón studied biology and worked as a zookeeper, trained animals for over 20 years for movies and TV, pioneered the whale watching industry in Panama, been running whale and dolphin wisdom retreats for 11 years.  She created her Whale and Dolphin Wisdom Retreats to share her love of the dolphins, whales, the ocean and nature with others.  She has seen how spending time with the dolphins and whales and learning their wisdom can transform lives gently and easily through simply being immersed in their loving energy.  Please share a “Wow”  Having my trained tiger attack and nearly kill one of my volunteers was a huge wake up call to me to start looking inward and doing major self healing and the beginning of my spiritual path.   Please share a “Whisper”  A male voice spoke within my head saying "he just wants to be close to you." about my little dog who was bothering me by walking right behind my feet and it frustrated me. That voice literally stopped me in my tracks to look at life from the perspective of others.   What do you want listeners to know about you?  That I am dedicated to their transformation through spending time with and sharing the wisdom of the dolphins and whales.

Contact Info Website: www.WhaleWisdomRetreats.com Free Ebook: You can download 'Messages From the Sea', which is wisdom that I received direct from the dolphins and whales. I'm happy to share that with you. (Get it from her website) Most Influential Person I think that would be the whales and dolphins. For me, they're, they're my gurus. Effect on Emotions Mindfulness has given me a deep sense of peace, a deep peace and comfort. Thoughts on Breathing Breathing is really important because dolphins and whales are conscious breathers. Dolphins and whales have to literally consciously think to breathe. That means, let's just say you're swimming underwater and you know you can't breathe until you come to the surface. Same with them. So when you are conscious breather for a whale and dolphin, they can't sleep like we can. We sleep because they they'd suffocate without breathing so they sleep with one half of their brain and the other half keeps them moving and breathing or you know, coming to the surface. So when you are fully conscious of your breathing, it also, that just expands to being more conscious and using more of your brain power or conscious of how your physical body moves, which also opens up your mind to being more aware and conscious of the world around you. Suggested Resources Book: Conversations With God By Neale Donald Walsch App: Nature is my app lol Bullying Story I'm not aware of being bullied or just didn't pay enough attention so that it affected me. I have an interesting story that I think you'll like. It was on a retreat here with the whales and I had these people on this trip who were all from the UK. This one young man, he was just 21 and he was so much fun, but he was hyper as all get out. He was just bouncing off the walls. This was not even a spiritual group. They were more of a whale-watching scientific group. Somebody in the group asked, can we do some meditation? I'm like, sure. Okay. So when we went to do the first meditation, this young man said, I don't know if I can do this meditation stuff. I can't sit still for anything. And I said, you know what? That's fine. It's up to you and if you want to just try it and if it doesn't work, just very quietly walk away so you don't disturb anybody. So he was like, okay. So I gave him permission to leave if he needed to. So I started the meditation and when I oftentimes lead meditations, I have an idea of where it's going, but the whales and dolphins enter and they guide me and I just go wherever they want to take us. So on that particular evening they wanted to take us to forgiveness. So okay. We went there and what they asked me to show was to have everybody imagine a dolphin hunter from Japan standing in front of them and then feel what they feel about a dolphin hunter, but then see that this man, this hunter has a family and he has his culture and he has his history and he's just trying to do what we're all trying to do and that's feed his family and live a good life, good healthy, happy life. And that's all he knows how to do; to connect with him on a heart to heart level and a soul to soul level. And then I guided them to hug this man once they connected heart to heart, soul to soul. So afterwards, I was asking for anybody to share and this young man said that was amazing. He said, I saw that Japanese hunter and I punched him. But then when you asked me to look at his heart and his soul and see that he was just trying to get by. I hugged him and I apologized. I'm so sorry that I hit him. And so for me, bullying is about like he was trying to bully this Japanese hunter. If we just open our hearts and our, our souls to connect on that level because the people doing the bullying are doing so out of pain that they're feeling. And so they don't know how else to act out. So we need to open our hearts and move to understand them and give them the love they're so desperately seeking.
