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. In this show, he'll talk about the mechanics of the corona virus, its vulnerability and how it can be attacked. He'll also speak of the different ways you can shore up your immune system to become less of a target. I'm sure you want to be as informed as possible about being as safe as you can including the ways we're being informed traditionally. Dr. Robins has been strengthening the defenses of many thousands of his patients using mostly non-traditional methods. He's also taken years of research to develop the most potent probiotic on the market. The previous show with him, on February 28th, had the details about it but now he's offering it at a large discount that you can read about below.

Thousands of years ago, women were highly celebrated and they had a higher authority who understood their needs. Her name was Ashera and women had a direct connection with her. Over time, men felt the need to dominate and attempted to destroy the support that women had. They were mostly successful at that and God's wife disappeared for a long time. The underlying need for her never ended and she's continued to reappear in different forms. The fight to repress her never ended either and most societies still restrict feminine power and sacredness. So many of us know that women carry the wisdom that can change our future and create more peaceful times. The Sacred Feminine is returning in strength but we must remember its history to help empower its rise. Lynn Picknett & Clive Prince are well studied historians and have written this wonderful book, "When God Had a Wife". They have so much to say.

There was a time, thousands of years ago, when the sacred feminine was powerful and vibrant. Women had a goddess to worship who understood them and their special needs. This inspired them to believe in their right place in society and to help manage progress. It didn't last and men chose to destroy signs of this sacredness and dominate society to the detriment of everyone. Even though women are finding their way back, there are still strong echoes of this patriarchal repression and society is resisting giving women their full power back. Lynn Picknett & Clive Prince's book, "When God Had a Wife", is important in its treatise of this long history of feminine strife and the efforts through time to maintain the sacred feminine. This is an important interview with the authors to hear their insights and become more knowledgeable about the unfolding of new feminine power that's so needed for our future.

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.

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.

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.

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.
