  which correspond to the audio presentation

Separate Bonus Links:
• Guided meditation to help you communicate with the whales

CONTENT AND PURPOSE

Telepathic communication with whales connects us directly with the specific thoughts, feelings and stories of individual whales. It takes us beyond observation of behavior to learning the reasons behind those behaviors--from the whales’ perspective, not human assumptions about those behaviors. Telepathic communication with whales also takes us beyond archetypes about whales, which are stereotypes about an entire species, not information derived from conversations with individual whales.

While archetypal myths about whales have served to inspire whale lovers through the ages, and behavioral observation is a critical part of research which helps us scientifically understand and save whales, telepathic communication is the vehicle that allows us access to the thoughts, feelings and souls of individual whales. It allows us to enter their world, not just observe it.

In conversations with whales, we learn their perspectives of their lives--directly from them--not from archetypal myths or from potentially biased assumptions about behavioral motivations applied to an entire species. Added to scientific knowledge about whales’ biology and behavior, messages from telepathic communication with whales allow us to begin to know them as individual, whole beings with whom we share the earth.

Communication with whales, while mystical, is neither mysterious nor paranormal. It also need not be rare. When we listen with a genuine depth of empathy, respect and love, and when we regard ourselves as soul peers rather than as a superior (or inferior) species to whales, we can then begin to hear them with grace and ease. We can then telepathically receive their thoughts, feelings and stories of what it is like to be a whale, and their perceptions about the tapestry and purpose of our existence together on earth.

There are boundaries between us, little calf, but our songs meet.
Whenever we listen we will hear each other, the soft harmony of two
different singers looking at each other through clear water.

- Spoken by a whale to a young human girl in the novel Whale Singer by Wilton Katz

Personal note from Teresa:

Most of us seem to have certain animal species with whom we connect much more deeply than others—animals who call to our souls in ways that no others can. This is how it is for me with the whales. They are my ancestral family and my spiritual guides. My love for them is beyond measure. Whether we refer to the animals with whom we have such profound relationships as our power animals, spirit guides, teachers, healers or family isn't what's important. What does seem to be important is our openness and willingness to enthusiastically yet humbly discern their important messages, and to apply that learning into the daily fabric of our lives.

My first conversation with a whale was in October, 1988 while on a whale watch boat in the Gulf of Maine off Provincetown, Massachusetts. Our encounter changed my life irrevocably. For the next eleven years I traveled to see humpbacks as often as I could possibly afford to—trips to Hawaii, Alaska and back to Provincetown. In 1999, I was blessed to have my first experience to actually be in the water, side by side, swimming with these magnificent beings in the Silver Bank whale sanctuary off the Dominican Republic. After that I organized and facilitated 19 trips to bring other humans to swim with and communicate with the whales. This journey began an annual pilgrimage to be with the whales, the holy days of my year.

There are almost no words for what this is like to be next to these whales who so obviously choose to be near us in the water. Time stops. The world stops. The energy of their love, strength, gentleness and trust is palpable. Despite the vast differences in species and size, there seem to be no differences when we're together, only our spirits, only our mutual love. There is no fear, no alarm, no ego. Only love, there is simply light and love. This love and their wisdom infuses us. And it stays long after returning to land. It is this profound loving energy from the whales that I attempt to convey in the class. Though the whales who choose to come to us in the water very much enjoy the experience, they have made it clear that being together physically is not needed to exchange this energy. It is a great pleasure and delight to help others connect with them through this class. The whales very much enjoy connecting with us in conversation and in love.

One of the most transformative and pivotal things the whales told me many years ago is that:

"Higher consciousness is not related to species, breed, intelligence or ego. It's the result of a soul's choice to accept and embrace opportunities to grow, regardless of the form (or formlessness) a soul may be experiencing at any time."

Before hearing this from the whales, I had placed them and their wise messages on a towering pedestal, assigning them a greatness I thought achievable only by whales and perhaps saints and bodhisattvas. They called me on the carpet for this view! I was told that:

"Wisdom is not meant to be shrouded in mystery, intellectualized, or admired from afar as if unattainable, but to be utilized and lived."

Furthermore, they admonished me (affectionately!):

". . .not to idolize or worship others' greatness but to access it as guidance as I find my own greatness and live it."

These messages and others from the whales that have helped many of us on our life journeys are shared and expounded upon in the class.

I have been talking with the whales for over thirty years, and have been deeply rewarded by every moment of the communication. Sometimes I hear about their life stories, their joys and sorrows. Sometimes they offer me personal guidance. Sometimes I serve as a translator for individuals to hear the guidance whales want to offer them. Sometimes it is to help whales in distress, and sometimes to bring messages from the whales to groups of people. This class is an opportunity to share some of these messages as well as to help people connect personally with the whales. The information is augmented by dozens of stunning photographs of humpback whales. I hope you'll enjoy it!

With love and blessings,
Teresa

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

I loved hearing the stories of the whales. It was a beautiful, life-altering experience! I am much more mindful of how my actions impact the waters of the world. 

~ Robin S, Canoga Park CA USA


I love to hear what they have to say! It was very very powerful. So many messages that we each need to hear and take into our heart. Little One's messages left an indelible mark on my soul regarding the ability of beings - humans in particular - to be thoughtless and self-centered; so many others of the whales (especially Uncle) gave messages that were so poignant about us all being the same, just in different bodies. Every message, in truth, has touched my heart in a very deep place. I am so grateful to have heard them. Everyone - no matter how "enlightened" - can benefit from hearing reminders about our (humans) place in the universe.

Teresa, you did a wonderful job of opening my mind to a new awareness of whales, hearing from the whales, and how they are their own selves. I was guilty of not thinking of them as individuals. I loved the mothers’ stories wanting their calves to meet good people who love them. It opens your eyes to the beings that live in the ocean, you can see and feel their love for us and mother earth and even why some don't like or trust us. I am inspired to help clean our oceans for all to live and enjoy all being who live there. It is the right thing to do.
~ Tammy T, Rockford, MI USA

It was really great to hear everything from the whales perspective. I closed my eyes and visualized all your amazing stories. I truly enjoyed it. Thank you so much for this tele-class today.  You have a great gift in sharing your knowledge and wisdom to reawaken the rest of us.  Namaste,

~ Kathleen L, Itasca, IL USA




I loved the stories that Teresa told about the various whales. Certainly any whale lover will appreciate the stories and in depth information from the whales. The webinar addresses the mythology and misconceptions about whales with facts and above all with love and respect. The webinar was a reminder that we are simply one.
~ Jean C. Warrington, PA USA




Thank you for a wonderful afternoon! From the very first moment I heard your voice I was overcome with emotion, with tears flowing freely for 2 1/2 hours! It felt so good to be with you and the whales. I experienced joy, laughter, hope, excitement, anticipation, sadness, sorrow, regret, pain, peace, love, and everything in between.  Blessings of Love!
