But it was his life in the Royal Navy that was the subject of our talk last night on Voices from the North. His first ten years in the navy were spent onboard surface ships and included involvement with the Bay of Pigs. He was in the right place at the right time to see an island being formed off the coast of Iceland. This was later reported in National Geographic Magazine. With the onset of the Cold War, Britain began to build up subsurface mobilization. Graham was drafted to serve on nuclear submarines.

Dr. Cornelius Van Dorp worked seven years for Green Peace as a ship’s doctor and was fortunate to be involved with the establishment of an Antarctic Base that was closed in 1992 when the nations of the world voted to turn the Antarctic into a world park. A twelve month period in the Antarctic, especially during the five months of darkness, helped Corn to gain perspective on his life. The isolation gave him time to look at his life to that time and he realized he needed to make the best of his available time, to put focus on his family, to stop ‘hurrying and scurrying’, to look after the earth. This little part of our talk is well worth listening to. This is a five minute excerpt from a January, 2009 Voices from the North Interview.

Ray also received recognition of his services to entertainment by way of a Queen’s service medal in the New Year of 2008. The music we spotlight during our Voices from the North interview represents a return for Ray to the Frank Sinatra-type American standards that he grew up with. Frankly, I think he sounds a lot like Sammy Davis Junior. Most of the songs are backed up by the very talented Rodger Fox Big Band, a group of young performers, mostly from Auckland. tag:odeo.com,2008-11-26,23674994 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:58:30 -0800 no Voices From the North radio, new, john, american, davis, ray, junior, woolf, standards, zealand, haines, Sammy search new the From of in north inspirational voices interviews, zealand, Gaia, Simplicity, http://www.odeo.com/episodes/23611429-Deirdre-Kent-and-the-Financial-Crisis Deirdre Kent is the author of Healthy Money, Healthy Planet: Developing Sustainability through New Money Systems.

Terri describes the shift she made ten years ago from psychiatric nursing to the completion of four years of training to become a registered acupuncturist. She has a saying, ‘Listen to the whispers or get hit by a brick,’ because her life is guided by meaningful coincidences. She describes the Chinese medical model which is based on prevention and puts the onus on the individual to take responsibility for their own health.

This is interesting, because the Alexander Technique has also been found to assist with fertility. Terri is much more than an acupuncturist. She is an intuitive and a guide. She gives the example of a man who, through a couple of sessions, decided to completely revamp his life and work. Terri has found that people want to be given permission from someone else like herself to make changes in their lives. And she tends to be the visit of last resort, ‘the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.’ An inspiring example Terri gives is of a lady in her 80s with a motor neuron disease who has lost 21 pounds in weight in 5 weeks of treatment and who now has ‘Betty Grable’ ankles. The acupuncture has helped her to release excess fluids from this woman’s legs. Terri describes moxibustion and cupping and gives an example of cupping drawing out accumulated toxins, the residue of old injuries. True healing occurs when symptoms move from inside the body outwards. Terri Stout provides her services on a donation basis or koha. Payment is sometimes given in fish, shellfish, furniture or ketes (Maori flax-woven baskets). Acupuncture works on all levels—physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. New Zealand national health insurance (ACC) covers acupuncture visits. Terri presents an inspiring viewpoint of the role acupuncture can play in the establishment and maintenance of health and wellbeing.
