Energy Stew

Energy Stew - We can really be fooled about probiotics

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.

Most of us want to be as healthy as possible and do a lot for it. In recent years, the microbiome (gut bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses) has become famous as a major key to our wellness. Of course, we'd like to strengthen it as much as possible and have learned that imbibing probiotics is a key to this.

 

So now, the industry is flooded with probiotic products and it's hard to tell one from another. We're not experts and manufacturers are dependent on that. They throw long names at us like lactobacillus acidophilus and we assume they've got it covered.

 

Dr. Howard Robins will explain the science behind this and what we really need to know about what can help us and what cannot. I'm so surprised about how fooled we are and how we've been taken advantage of.

 

Tune in for this opportunity to hear inside info so we can make better decisions.

Energy Stew - The angels want to tell us about the energies for 2020

We talk a lot about angels but how many people have had active conversations with them? Do you hear from them? Do they actively respond to you? Many people are highly intuitive but only some are oracles of the Universe.

 

Adria Estribou is back on the show to let the angels tell us more. They speak through her while she's conscious and she just lets the words flow through her.

 

We're asking them to offer strategies about how to deal with so much struggle in life, and especially this year.

These are times, particularly this year, when we'd all like to have higher guidance. Most people don't know where to turn as they don't know people like Adria Estribou, who speaks with angels. Tune into the show to hear from Adria and also we'll have input from archangel Raphael and archangel Ariel. It's not that Adria has the answers so we'll see how she's able to express the input from above.

 

We're all interested in how this year will flow and how we'll be able to deal with it. What are we capable of? The angels will have deep answers that will help understand the current energies both in the world and in ourselves so we can find our power.

Energy Stew - What can animals tell us about love?

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.

Energy Stew - A female Zen master brings new perspective to a mostly male system

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.

Grace Schireson is an accomplished Zen practitioner and teacher and has wonderful stories to tell of her fascinating journey through the Zen world.

 

Tune in to hear her talk about her evolution from a 60's motorcycle riding hippie to the wise senior she's become. It wasn't an easy trip dealing with a predominantly male system that had many rules that couldn't be questioned until she came along.

Energy Stew - A comprehensive look at the challenge cards you've been dealt in life

The deck of cards holds many keys to our personalities and soul journeys. We've had a lot of shows about them and they've become familiar to our steady audience. This show will answer some of the questions from our audience since the last show about challenge cards. Alexander Dunlop, the author of "Play Your Cards Right", has uncovered a hidden card that he calls a Challenge Card. This is a theme playing in the background of our lives that shows the kind of challenges and limitations we face. In this show, he's going to go over all the cards in the deck to explain each of their challenges. It'll be very thorough. He's also offering a new program where he'll be sending out daily emails with the card of the day and an analysis and meditation about it. You can sign up for a trial of this new project HERE It can really help explain why you've had certain limitations throughout your life that are hard to understand.

This show is a wonderful opportunity to climb deeper into the themes of your life as now there's even a "challenge" card to understand yourself and your life issues. These are persistent patterns that have limited you and it's best to learn about them to make the most of your life.

 

We'll discuss every card in the deck and what its challenge is. You won't want to miss it.

You can also sign up for a new, daily card email as it's smart to know what card is active each day so you can make the most of it. Here's a LINK to it.

Energy Stew - There's so much about Zen that's misunderstood

Brad Warner is a known Zen master who doesn't want to be known as a master. He doesn't believe there's anything to master. He's clear it's not a religion and there's no dogma to represent. So what is it? He has taught at hundreds of locations around the world to explain it to people and he's written many books about it. It's just a practice of sitting with what is. It's not about getting "chill" and creating peace. It's not about creating anything. There are no goals except to just sit for different lengths of time. It's not about creating comfort. It's really just about being present with whatever issues come to you. Of course there are monasteries that have very strict rules and strong punishments. That's not Zen to Brad. It's just a culture some groups have formed around it.

Brad Warner, the author of "Letters to a Dead Friend about Zen", has a lot to tell us about what it is and what it isn't. He has a lot to say about the misconceptions people have that have turned the word into many different kinds of products and services that have to do with peacefulness.

 

It's not really what Zen teaches. It only promotes a practice that expects people to sit in a particular posture for sometimes very long periods of time. Zen temples are not supposed to be friendly places. They're very serious about getting the job done and that's it. Sometimes, it's even too serious. Not all of us are designed to handle the rigors of it.

 

It's really great to hear from a long time practitioner who has traveled the world and visited temples and monasteries in remote places. He's given talks in many countries and has written many books. Don't miss this opportunity to hear from him.

Energy Stew - How much do elephants know?

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 elephants. Every species, including elephants, has its awakened representatives who are capable of conversing with her. Just like humans who aren't all wise, the animals have similar percentages. These particular elephants knew that Sandra was available and contacted her from South Africa. She really knows how to zero in on the most valuable insights they have.

Sandra Mendelson, a renowned animal communicator, has been hearing from dozens of species about their lives and also how they relate to us. For this show, we've zeroed in on elephants and It's surprising how deeply they understand life. There's so much we haven't learned about them because we haven't asked. Fortunately, Sandra has and it's amazing how profound the answers have been.

Energy Stew - The Human Design System Has Important Details About 2019

Every year, Human Design produces a chart describing the traits of the year. It's from a map that uses the hexagrams of the Chinese I'Ching and chakras that are described by the planetary positions above us.

 

On the show we will look at the amazingly insightful descriptions of the traits that are brought into play this year.

 

There's always quite a story to tell and this year, as always, it's very incredible what the story is about.

 

Again, I'll be speaking with Nattalee Lillico, another Human Design analyst as I am. We'll be deciphering this year's chart for you.

 

I can tell you it's going to be a hot show as there's so much the chart has to say about what's happening. It all makes sense about what we think is at play for the year, so let's find out how Human Design describes it.

Energy Stew - Forecasting 2020 - What are its energies?

This new year will have its own personality and we'll be immersed in it. Maybe it's a good idea to uncover some of the energy patterns at play for it. Alexander Dunlop and I will examine the major themes of 2020 and you'll be amazed at how understandable and predictive they are. We'll look at the Source Card that shows the chief energy of the year and how that plays with the numeralogical pattern of the year. I was very surprised to see the juxtaposition of what showed up and how clear these patterns expressed themselves.

Alexander will talk about the numerological energies at play and show how they manifested last year and are now morphing into the current year. It'll really help you better understand the changes we are expecting. I'll be working with the Chinese I'Ching as a divining tool and see what hexagrams are showing up for the year. it's really no surprise how accurate they always are. Tune into the show and see the patterns of the New Year. You'll really appreciate the messages. Next week we'll be looking at the detailed information the Human Design System provides for the year. I can tell you it has amazing information to offer.

Energy Stew - What is the real value of exploring consciousness for our evolution?

We're talking again with Shelli Joye who can help us understand how our lives function amidst the consciousness of our reality. We'll talk about the writings of different reality experts and how they challenge us to think differently about our lives and our purposes. We'll talk about how information is stored in a vast implicate universe that we draw from as we pursue our lives in the explicate universe. Our consciousness operates on many different levels and our conscious minds are only normally aware of a small number of them. The opportunity is to expand our comprehension of ourselves and the greater Universe and know ourselves as more profoundly entwined in a multi-dimensional reality. Shelli Renee Joye, is the author of "Developing Supersensible Perception" and takes both a philosophical and scientific approach to help us find our way. It's wonderful to speak with someone who has such profound understandings of non-dual awareness.

Here is another opportunity to hear from one of the most profound guests we've had on Energy Stew. Shelli has a scientific understanding of the different realms of consciousness both in the explicate and implicate worlds. It's fascinating to hear her talk about the great thinkers and scientists who have been the pioneers of deeper thought. Shelii can straddle all worlds as a spiritual scientist with a great grasp of eastern and western forays into the mysteries of life. She has been a dedicated student of the work of Rudolf Steiner, Patanjali, John Lilly and many others. Be sure to tune into this interview with Shelli Joye to learn more about the consciousness process. We'll talk about getting the most out of the reality we live in but haven't been entirely aware of.
