Listening to Wild Dolphins: Learning Their Secrets for Living with Joy [Paperback]

Bobbie Sandoz (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 20, 1999

Bobbie Sandoz's story unfolds in three phases. First, she befriends the dolphins and observes how they embody the characteristics of the higher self: kindness, joy, harmony, wisdom, clarity, and mystery. Second, she notices that the dolphins are communicating telepathically with her. Finally, she transfers what she has learned from them to humans -- that one can attain a commensurate level of joy by adopting the spirit of the dolphins.

From the Author

The dolphins will give you the gift of personal power and blissful joy.

A decade ago I was blessed by a friendship with wild dolphins that led me through a personal journey I didn't expect or pursue. But what I learned after I stopped questioning it dramatically changed by life and has enabled me to live with new levels of magic and joy.

The dolphins share a number of secrets in a playful and mysterious manner that will also teach you how to manifest your goals and create a world of your dreams. Enjoy the journey....as the dolphins do.

With aloha, Bobbie

5.0 out of 5 stars COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!, February 23, 2000

This review is from: Listening to Wild Dolphins: Learning Their Secrets for Living with Joy (Paperback)

Found this pearl almost by accident as I looked for a book to captivate my mind and heart. This book speaks to the power of JOY. Sandoz uses her real life experiences swimming with the irrepressible wild dolphins to engage us toward reawakening our capacity for joy - every day.

Her work with dolphins in the wild might well be compared to Dianne Fossey's work with gorilla's in the wild.

Sandoz is shows remarkable courage, wrapped in wit, wisdom, playfulness and knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Listening to Wild Dolphins, July 8, 2000

This review is from: Listening to Wild Dolphins: Learning Their Secrets for Living with Joy (Paperback)

Bobbie Sandoz speaks from the position of one of the fortunate humans who have been able to forge a relationship with dolphin families. Her proximity to them as a resident of Oahu and her acceptance of them as her teachers has allowed an ongoing interaction known to only a few with the resources necessary to communicate their messages to a global audience. In my own contact with the cetacean world, I have been taught many of the the same lessons Bobbie has so eloquently set forth as her personal teachings. It is so rewarding to be able to bear witness to the latest emergence of the human-dolphin connection, which has existed for many centuries, and is at last again achieving prominence in the collective consciousness of humankind. I encourage Bobbie's other readers to study and consider her listing of the dolphin's gifts and the insights she has gleaned from them. The previous reviewers have written some wonderful praise for her book, but I could not resist my desire to add mine to the growing number of people who have been given the chance to benefit through the reading of this impressive synopsis of dolphin healing and teaching. The appendix of the book contains concise guidelines for interaction that will help anyone desiring to establish better communications, and a list of additional resources which are very useful and illuminating. Her courage in speaking out in regard to telepathy evokes my admiration and support, as this is a real and repeatable phenomenon which can be experienced by anyone with a sufficiently open mind. If you're a dolphin lover, buy this book; it is destined to become a classic in its field.

This review is from: Listening to Wild Dolphins: Learning Their Secrets for Living with Joy (Paperback)

This is an easy flowing book to read. Bobbie Sandoz uses her experience with the dolphins to teach us to search for joy and happiness. She also makes us aware of our need to be more in touch with our precious natural environment and how we should avoid destroying it. A must read for anyone who loves the ocean and its sea life as I do. You do not have to be an expert on dolphin life to thoroughly enjoy this book. It brought to me an awareness of the need to put more joy in my own life.
