Dr. Howard Robins and I are old friends and we're both very involved in holistic health. We talk all the time about the work he's doing to bring healing opportunities to the world. Years ago I watched him develop his interest in probiotics and begin to develop products for his patients. There was a big learning curve and probiotics became a major interest in his life. At one point, I thought he had achieved a great result and I enjoyed taking his product, seeing a lot of benefit to my health. He wasn't satisfied though, and took his research to a higher level. We're going to talk about that research and what he learned about probiotics that the public knows almost nothing about.

Sandra Mendelson, the author of "We Walk Beside You, Animal Messages for and awakening world", is back again to tell us more about what the animals have to say. They have a lot of wisdom about many different subject matters and I've asked Sandra to compile her responses from various species about love. Every species has its awakened representatives who are capable of conversing with her. Just like humans who aren't all wise, the animals have similar percentages. Sandra has asked them to talk about love, what it means to them and for us. They understand us and how we are different from them in many ways and not always as wise. They understand our limitations.

Sandra Mendelson, a renowned animal communicator, has been hearing from many species about their experience of love and how they are different from us They see how we live and can recognize our limitations. It's amazing how wise they are and we can sure use a lot of their wisdom. Be sure to tune in and enjoy this special opportunity.

Grace Schireson the author of "Naked in the Zendo", is an accomplished Zen Buddhist master and President of the Shogaku Zen Institute (a Zen teachers' training seminary) She has practiced Zen since the 1960's and has traveled the world to do so in other places. I recently interviewed another Zen master, Brad Warner, and Grace brings us a different perspective of what Zen means and how a woman can accomplish the practice versus a man since it's a predominantly patriarchal system. She's been quite a pioneer bringing her female perspective into the mix. Zen has always been very impersonal and no one is supposed to have any unique individual needs. Expressed individuality and vulnerability have long been considered feminine traits and Grace wasn't going to ignore her personal and important needs. This was a confrontation in many Zen centers yet she found some enlightened male abbots who could hear her. Grace has always had her special dietary preferences and she developed some bio-mechanical differences so the different centers she practiced in had to learn to accommodate her. This led, among other reasons, to a lot of leadership opportunities. Grace is very well spoken about her long, fascinating history as a Zen practitioner and master.
