Measuring Mobile Phone Radiation… with Your Phone

May 15, 2012 in Lifestyle

In mobile phone IT, they say “there is an app for everything”. And they are right. Recently I came across a review for a mobile phone app that measures the phones radiation levels and provides warnings when the phone you are carrying goes beyond safe limits. An interesting concept which could be quite useful for the health conscious. If it works, that is. Read the rest of this entry →

Myth: You Should Only Use Flower Remedies from Your Own Country!

May 6, 2012 in Flower Essence Therapy

There is a myth in the field of kinesiology. It’s a myth I have long sought to find an answer for.

The Myth is this… “You should only use flower essences from your own country!”

Like the abominable snowman of Tibet, I have heard numerous reports of this myth but have yet to see any real evidence of it. In fact, in my 15 years of flower essence research and close work with plants and flowers, I have yet to see any shred of evidence to support it. I have even spoken to other flower essence manufacturers, experts and researchers over the years about it too and they are mystified as to it’s origins. Either they have heard of heard it and are mystified like I am… or they have never come across it at all. All dead ends as to where and why the myth began.

Despite no evidence, the myth still exists among practitioners. In *Australia at least. ( *Strangely, I have never come across anyone from overseas swearing by their native flowers! )

The other day, I heard a customer talking about it again. And to be honest, whenever I hear someone mention it, it’s like a red rag to a bull. I charge ( nicely ) and ask ( interrogate ) the person why they believe it to be true. No one has been able to tell me why it’s true nor the real principle behind it. Many believers simply come up blank. They ‘just believe it’. It was what they were told by their teachers. Read the rest of this entry →

Amazing Software for Educators

May 1, 2012 in Business Tips, Featured

In the middle of 2011, I stopped teaching my weekly flower essences classes after 8 years. Why?

For a long time I have wanted to open up my teaching program to people beyond my local environment. Don’t get me wrong. The weekly classes were great ( I miss them ) and the ‘fans’ I had were loyal and came every week without fail ( for years ) but I felt there was something missing. What I wanted to do was ‘go beyond the classroom’. I wanted to run an online, ongoing teaching program so that people who didn’t live near me… or couldn’t make the class, could attend. Or tune in when they wanted. This way I could reach a global audience, all via the internet. Thus offering online training to go along with my classes and workshops.

‘Constant training’ is the aim ( because I am addicted to teaching, lol. ) The Skyflowers are more than ‘a set of flower essence remedies’ and in fact, the remedies themselves are just a small part of the actual ‘product’. The Skyflowers are a way of life, a spiritual development set of teachings and something far larger than a single workshop. So to capture the essence of the teachings…

I wanted to open up an ongoing training… a ‘constant classroom’ that ran in the times between my physical workshops.

As the internet is really one giant classroom and companies like Apple are creating great software for teachers like me to communicate with, then why wouldn’t I take a brief pause from my teaching schedule and set up a global classroom? ( Thus allowing me to sit at my computer in my pyjamas and still deliver amazing wisdom and insight! Lol )

Just yesterday, I chanced upon an awesome website that allows you to ‘teach via the web’. After further research, I found that that this service was indeed one of the best around. There were more that I found, but it seems my ‘first find’ was indeed the best one for what I want to achieve.

This post is my short list of the best teaching tools for educators. Read the rest of this entry →
