Do You Ever Find Yourself Getting Upset About
the Words or Actions of Others?
Are you a fan of The Four Agreements? If so you’ll love the upcoming 4 part teleclass on the second agreement coming up this September with yours truly!
The key to our happiness depends on us not taking what other people say and do to heart. When we do take things personally we get emotional, lose our clarity, and often say things we definitely don’t mean!
The solution is learning how to detach from our ego mind which believes that the world revolves around us – because the truth is, it does not.
Imagine not getting upset at work when a co-worker says something that would normally upset you. Or imagine how great it would be if you didn’t get upset if your partner had an affair. It is possible – and I am very excited to be able to share my favorite techniques with you!
So won’t you join me Thurs Sept 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th at 5pm PT/8pm ET? I’ll be recording the classes so if you can’t make it no worries.
REGISTRATION IS NOW!

GUEST ARTICLE
Are Dolphins Smarter Than Humans?
Humans have been in love with dolphins since the beginning of time, and for good reason. Not only do they frequently come to our aid in times of need, they also elicit a most ecstatic response from the most hardened souls. How do they do that?
After bringing groups of people to swim with wild dolphins for the past 18 years, I think I’m beginning to get a clue as to their magic…
What is fascinating is their big brain when you compare brain size to body weight. Evolutionarily, the dolphin/whale Cetacean brain started getting big between 25 and 50 million years ago. Our brain only started getting big about 100,000 years ago. So, as far as big brains go on earth, we’re the new kid on the block, we’ve only recently caught up with them.
Existence doesn’t create such a big brain without using it. For example, dolphins can hear sound far above and below our range. They see through the water and air (so if they look at you when you’re on the boat, you’ll have amazing eye contact!). They communicate with each other continuously, through touch and sound and even have names for each other; called their signature whistle.
Their sonar is believed to be at least three times more powerful than our medical ultrasound, and they can distinguish when a woman is pregnant before she knows it! They are able to communicate an object’s size, shape, density and location better than we.
Half their brain sleeps at a time, the other half staying awake and alert. Another amazing fact; every single breath a dolphin or whale takes is conscious. To fully appreciate this level of present moment awareness, try being aware of your every breath for the next five minutes…
Clearly they are highly evolved. How they use the rest of their brain remains a mysterious unknown and that is most likely where the magic comes from. From my experience, whether we’re swimming with spotted dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, spinner dolphins or humpback whales, they all share a magical ability to reach into our hearts and profoundly affect us.
I’ve seen it time and again; from the most open, already in-love-with-life individual, to the grumpy old curmudgeon who only gets in the water to appease the persistent pleas of their grandchildren – everyone comes out of the water changed.
In the movie “Avatar,” the Na’vi acknowledge each other with the greeting, “I see you.” The feeling of being seen by a wild dolphin in the open ocean ignites a profound remembering that all is well, always has been and always will be. It’s a cosmic wink from the Divine Beloved from behind the curtain, saying “I see you, the vital grand essence of you, and isn’t this game of life on earth fun?”
Since the day I first swam with the wild dolphins, they are my guides in the realm of playfulness and joy. I have made it my business to bring people of kindred spirit to meet them.
If you are curious about the wild dolphins and are ready to experience their magic for yourself, I invite you to join me October 21-25th, 2013 for my upcoming Oneness Awakening Wild Dolphin Trip to Bimini in the Caribbean.
Blessings, Joe Noonan
Joe Noonan is a playful lover of life whose joy is contagious. He has been bringing individuals, families and groups to swim with the wild dolphins in Hawaii and in the Bahamas for the past 17 years.One day Joe, took a long walk off a short pier and ended up in the water with a pod of playful dolphins. He came out of the water a changed man, and has never been the same since…
