These days, pet insurance is receiving a good deal of attention, both in the marketplace and in the media. There is a terrific reason for this. People seem to love their mammals more than ever and having health insurance pet plan is a reasonably affordable way for people to assure that their pets will be able to receive the animal welfare care that they need.

The term “probiotics” is heard all over in the media these days. But why? Let’s take some time to explain exactly why you might be interested in giving probiotic supplements to your pet or horse.

Probiotics and Your Pets
This weekend I recorded three interviews with Denise Kinch, Pachamama Healing Center, practitioner and teacher of the Andean Healing Traditions.
Denise has been initiated with the highest rites of passage from Peruvian elder Don Manuel Quispe and Don Martin Pinedo, and in the interviews Denise publicly sets the record straight, uncovering the truths and misconceptions about the tradition, the karpays, Rites of Passage, and about the Q’ero themselves.
I have known Denise for as long as I have been a part of the Q’ero shamanic tradition, since 1998. Over the years we have stayed in touch, and she would always make time to offer insight and support when I would hit a bump in the road along my shamanic journey.
Through our conversations I became aware that she continued to sit with Don Manuel Quispe, learning from him all that she could. Don Manuel was held in high respect as an altomesayoq, a shaman or paq’o that speaks with the apus, the mountain spirits. Indeed, he may well have been one of the last of the Q’ero lineage. I knew him as a humble, but strong teacher dedicated to sharing and planting seeds of transformation among his students; a teacher that profoundly affected me personally and professionally. One such pivotal experience is portrayed in my article A Shaman’s Legacy.
Denise was present with Don Manuel in his home in Chuachua at the time of his death. At that time he gave her his final, personal and highest rites and his personal Q’ero ceremonial poncho to carry on his traditions. Read about Denise and Don Manuel Quispe here.
Now Denise is preparing to release her book “Walk Between the Worlds, Truth is Beauty, The Q’ero” a book taking nearly 18 years to write and containing 200 full-color professional photographs documenting her time with the Q’ero, and with Don Manuel Quispe. A book written to honor his dying request — sharing the truth of the Q’ero, their history and their traditions.
The first interview with Denise was to acquaint listeners with the foundation work in this shamanic tradition, called Inca Medicine Wheel by Denise, and Spirited Living by me. And for those who are already part of the tradition the interview was also intended to help clear up some misconceptions. Listen to the Inca Medicine Wheel interview.
The second interview concerns the advanced shamanic training, Inca Initiation, which is taught by Denise on the East coast, in Canada, and in late September she will be teaching Inca Initiation in the Seattle area as well. In this interview Denise shares some stories and again helps clear up common misconceptions about the tradition. Listen to the Inca Initiation Interview.
After recording our third interview concerning Denise’s upcoming book, I was moved to tears, for Don Manuel’s spirit and presence shone forth as strongly as if he stood before me once again in physical form. I can’t wait to read “Walk Between the Worlds, Truth is Beauty, The Q’ero,” I’ve a feeling that Don Manuel Quispe, through the dedicated efforts of Denise Kinch, may yet have much to teach every student of shamanism. Listen to book interview.
If you would like to be notified when Denise’s book comes out you can either sign up for my newsletter, or contact Denise Kinch to be placed on her mailing list.

Truth is Beauty: Peruvian Shamanism, Don Manuel Quispe, and Denise Kinch
This Wednesday, June 3, 2009, my interview with the Sisters of Sizzle, Elise Kloter and Jill Pagano on A Life on Fire, airs on ContactTalk Radio at 3pm PST.
Elise and Jill’s mission is to search out people who are living their passion and and get them to share it with others. Their excitement is contagious, this was the most fun I have had so far doing an interview. You won’t want to miss our purring contest, or our standup comedy routine on cat calling. And yes, we do cover serious issues such as my dream of bringing the benefits of energy healing and animal communication to zoo animals.
You can listen online around the World and in Seattle on 106.9 HD Channel 3 this Wednesday at 3PM Pacific Time, and if you can’t listen at that time the show will be archived for your convenience!

Purrs and Catcalls in Interview with Rose De Dan on A Life on Fire
This past weekend I taught the final of four classes on “Spirited Living: A Shamanic Journey into Self-Healing.” It was a very powerful weekend for all participants, myself included.
The focus of this class was on how the students could weave the shamanic support and techniques they had learned into their lives after class. As mesa carriers and pampamesayoq’s (Earth Stewards), I hope that each student will continue to do their own personal healing as well as make themselves available in their communities.
One of the topics raised was the issue of global warming and its effects on all the inhabitants of this planet. I told the class that the spirit world and the animals had asked me to make this a special focus for everyone. We discussed the idea that doing our personal clearing work helps to heal the planet as well as ourselves since we are all connected, but the question was raised as to what more could be done.
In response I have now created a new page on my website under Resources, Inspiring People and Animal Videos, some of which are simply humorous (laughter is very healing), but other videos fulfill the criteria of being geared toward inspiring personal, community, or global change. They may not seem overtly shamanic in nature, but each of the videos I have selected deals with aspects that shamans concerns themselves with: understanding and communication with All Our Relations, the animals that we share this world with; visions of sustainability, green perspective, and harmony with the natural world; and issues of life and death, all of which lies within the purview of shamans of any culture. Shamanism is a living tradition, adapting over time, maintaining a liaison with spirit and community in the language of both. Nowadays our popular culture is contained on YouTube, and within TV, movies, music, and books, etc., and I am very comfortable using all of them as a means of education and communication.
In addition to the new webpage in future blogs I will be featuring some action steps that can be taken by anyone. It is estimated that we have 10 years in which to turn global warming around, to change the climate crisis that we have created and save our planet, the animals and ourselves from certain destruction. The actions of each person is crucial at this time in our history, one person can make a difference!
For my first step I offer the opportunity for you to determine which of three videos you think should win the video contest created by U.S. PIRG, the federation of state Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs), to promote the creation of more and better transportation options. There are three videos that you can vote for: “I Love Traffic,” a tongue-in-cheek (at least I hope so!) look at the beauty of traffic jams and rising gas prices; “Carrick Video: Transportation of the Future” which stars nine-year-old Carrick who pulls out all the stops with his charming and humorous on-stage personality as he takes us on a fun tour of the world of the future (can you tell this was my favorite?); and “Dear Diary,” a look at the struggles of one young man who tries a few alternative transportation methods of getting to work.
Take a moment to watch all three videos at U.S. PIRG Help Us Pick A Winner! and place your vote! I believe that popularizing videos like these can inspire people to take the steps needed to vanquish the spectre of global warming.
P.S. Young Carrick Gareth has other sustainable videos at YouTube. He is one prolific nine year-old!
P.P.S. In case you did not know, U.S. PIRG takes on powerful interests on behalf of the American public, working to win concrete results for our health and our well-being. With a strong network of researchers, advocates, organizers and students in state capitols across the country, they stand up to powerful special interests on issues where powerful special interests stand in the way of reform, like product safety, identity theft, political corruption, prescription drugs, and voting rights.
