About the Editor and Publishing about Organic Baby and Family Products with Free Audio Relaxation and Meditation mp3 Recordings

The editor and owner of the site, Julian Pollock, has written the following about his life, his ideals, as well as his hopes and wishes for this site, its visitors and the world communities as a whole:

"I have felt a resonance with developing an altruistic lifestyle from my mid 20s. At that time I resigned my executive accountant’s job and relocated to India where I studied and practiced spiritual philosophies and meditation, interspersed with voluntary work, including teaching English, and working for community centers in remote rural areas. I met my partner Bodh-gaya and we later had a daughter, who was born in Sikkim. Our daughter's occasional health problems precipitated a more in-depth investigation and a fairly natural integration into a more organic family lifestyle...

"I have had a lifelong interest in practical psychology, philosophy and meditation (and particularly with respect to Buddhist traditions). I also had an early introduction to self hypnosis followed later in life by an in-depth study and obtaining qualifications in hypnotherapy. These increased my appreciation for a need for balance in life whilst engendering a feeling of personal responsibility and involvement in ensuring the well-being of one’s family, friends, communities and planet as a whole. I feel that whatever small steps are taken in this direction will only prove worthwhile for one's own well-being and happiness as well as for those around us...

"Taking heed of the advice of various spiritual mentors, and particularly Gyalwa Karmapa (Rangjung Rigpai Dorje), I have studied and practiced mindfulness meditation for over 30 years, and Qigong with Tai Chi for more than 25 years. I have found both these practices particularly useful and it is for that reason that I have included them under the Wellness section of the site, together a few other related topics (such as the Sedona Method) that I feel are of real value to myself and others...

"I would like to offer thanks to my partner Katja for her patience and creative advice as well as to our daughter Sophie for her header and other graphic design work she does so imaginatively and quickly. This has made the site a real family publication."

With the sincere intention of wishing to share various aspects of his life that Julian has found of great value, this site provides various wellness and meditation audio products to visitors, free of charge. This site is built also with an intention of generating a degree of income for the editor and his family. To that end, a variety of organic and other wellness products are offered and recommended to visitors. Income will be derived should you follow the links and purchase anything from those sites. A percentage of all income will in turn be donated to charities.

The style of writing incorporated by some of the professional writers for this site includes a more personalised method of referring to specific families to help visitors in relating to the differing uses and values of the products. References to specific named families are not to be interpreted as actual.

The editor welcomes all forms of communication, be it information considered of value to other visitors, constructive evaluation, criticism and suggestions, as well as feedback on what is written and more importantly on any products purchased directly as a consequence of interacting with the site.
