12 Octopus Medicine
02/15/21 • 34 min
In this episode, your host, Anne Gordon shares the wisdom she has received direct from the Octopus about removing distractions and focusing on one task at a time to give that task full attention to make the result the best it possibly can be.
Octopus also gives us three words to pay attention to, patience, observation and adaptation. Octopus is patient, they wait, observing the world around them, waiting for the perfect opportunity to present itself, which may be a crab, snail or fish swimming nearby that they can then easily capture for their meal.
They tell us how we can learn how to apply patience and observation to explore opportunities that we could easily miss when we are rushing through the world being busy all the time.
They teach us to adapt, as they do to their surroundings. The octopus can change his color to adapt and blend in with or stand out from any environment they are in. We can't change our color, but we can adapt the way we think, talk and behave to get the most out of any situation we find ourselves in.
Anne also shares several encounters she has had with wild octopus throughout her life starting with meeting an octopus as a child at a local aquarium to her most recent encounter with a California two spot octopus living in a tide pool not far from her home in Southern California, who reached out and literally held hands with her for several minutes!

11 Opening to Connection with Linda Gareh-Applegate
Linda started a deep journey with whale around 2011. From that time onwards she read many books about whales and took every opportunity she could to go on whale watches and retreats.
Attending the First Cetacean Summit organized by Anne Gordon was life changing. She was fascinated by the accounts of all the presenters and learned so much from them.
Shortly, thereafter she started to teach workshops on whales. People need to know who these incredible beings are. They are not "fish" as some people refer to them but highly sentient, evolved beings. It is her mission, through workshops and as a whale and dolphin energy healing practitioner to en-lighten people about these amazing beings.
Linda had been an energy healer for many years, first as an Authentic Reiki® Master/Teacher and then using a technique called Frequencies of BrillianceTM. These energy healing modalities acted as stepping stones for her to become an energy channel.
Initially she was channeling the energy of the angels and then whales started to come through her. This awakened her interest in whales and dolphins and led her to read many books on them and connect with them on whale watching trips and retreats.
She received dolphin attunements from Linda Shay, who then directed her to attend the first Cetacean Summit being organized by Anne. Later she trained as a whale and dolphin energy healing practitioner.
In this episode Linda shares some of her magical encounters with Dolphins and Whales, both in the physical as well as spiritually. She channels for us some Light Language and two different frequencies direct from the whales!

13 Being in Balance with the Orcas
In this episode, your host, Anne Gordon shares the wisdom she has received direct from the Orca whales. Anne grew up on the shores of Puget Sound, aka, the Salish Sea, where the Southern resident J, K & L Orca pods frequent.
Anne shares her experiences of seeing the Orcas in person throughout her life as well as how they have come to her in her dreams and meditations. She felt that the presence of the Orcas has always been like the energy of a loving and protective older brother, where she always feels safe and loved when they are in her life.
She shares messages from Ruffles, the son of Granny from J pod as well as perspective shifting messages from the Transient/Biggs Orcas too. Orcas are the Apex predators, yet live in complete harmony with all life around them, keep the balance for the benefit of all species.
The Orcas teach the importance of being in balance and reconnecting with nature to embrace our natural place in the world as well as reconnect to the natural flow of abundance. Listen to hear the powerful wisdom direct from the Orcas themselves.
