Sounds Make Sounds DVD
The goal of phonics is to enable those starting on their journey into reading to be able to alliterate, to hear the individual sounds in the words, especially the beginning one, before blending them into the various words.
This method for teaching reading and writing has been widely used since the turn of the 20th century in primary education and in teaching literacy throughout the UK! However many parents with children now were never taught this method and it is a rather alien concept. We have so many parents desperate to help their children without the knowledge that they require.
We have produced a DVD to aid adults gain the confidence to use phonics, so that they can in turn assist their children’s learning journey.
The DVD is well set out, with the individual sounds, how they are written and how they blend together, clearly and concisely explained, with activities for promoting learning in a fun way at home. All laid out in an accessible, enjoyable and easy format for parents to incorporate into their everyday lives.
Please call 01376 56200 if you would be interested in purchasing a DVD – £12.00.

This bibliography has been prepared by the Energy Medicine Research Network (EMRN) and is hosted by the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare (NIIH). A literature search was undertaken by Sandra Shipp, EEM-AP and Anne Rosebrook, MLP, and lists studies that have met the following criteria:
The Energy Medicine Research Network describes the search criteria as follows:
In order to complete the literature search, Ovid/Medline and PubMed medical databases were searched using the following keywords: acupressure, “Barbara Brennan”, biofield, cranio-sacral therapy, “body talk,” “energy medicine,” “energy healing,” “healing touch,” johrei, “polarity therapy,” “pranic healing,” “quantum touch,” reflexology, reiki, shiatsu, “touch for health,” “touch therapy,” and the MESH controlled vocabulary term “therapeutic touch.” Search results were limited to English language and human subject research. The results were visually scanned to eliminate general overviews of a modality, letters to the Editor, interviews, or other non-research publications. A broad range of reports was still included, ranging from more case studies to sophisticated clinical trials to systematic reviews of previously published studies.
This articles selected according to the criteria outlined above are presented as an APA-formatted reference list. They have not been reviewed to assess a positive, negative, or neutral outcome of the research, research methodology, or quality of research. It is merely a list of articles meeting the stated criteria.
The literature search identified 600+ studies encompassing the following Energy Medicine modalities:
Acupuncture, Distant Healing, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Energy Psychology, Massage, Prayer and Yoga are not included in this bibliography. The rationale for this exclusion can be found in an Appendix below the list of studies. Below are links to bibliographies for these modalities where available. The explanation of the process used to conduct the literature search, and full inclusion and exclusion criteria, is available in a PDF of the original list.
The original search was undertaken in May 2014 and the list is updated by EMRN volunteers periodically. If you’re aware of a study you feel should be included in the list, please read the full article first, and if you still feel the article should be included, please email us and it will be considered for inclusion during the next update.
Additional reference lists on other subsets of Energy Medicine are available at the links below:
Many of the above bibliographies are not current; we would also appreciate links to up-to-date sources if you’re aware of them. Thanks for your support of energy medicine!

The following information is a brief rationale on the reasons for the exclusion of these modalities from our literature search. Keep in mind, we are comparing the core aspects of the practices of each modality. Our comparison is admittedly imperfect, and not intended to be a source of debate.
EFT – The core of EFT and its variants are a type of Energy Psychology, which is significantly different than EM and EEM. The primary mechanism for EFT is the use of tapping meridian points. There are no exercises to activate and balance subtle energy systems, or work with other subtle energy systems. There is no practitioner based hands on healing involved. In addition, an up-to-date research bibliography can be found at EFTuniverse.com/research-studies.
Acupuncture – this modality works with the Meridians, a subtle energy system, and in some instances may utilize other energy systems that are engaged with Eden Energy Medicine (EEM; Radiant Circuits or the 5 Rhythms.) Yet the primary mechanism for stimulating these energies is the use of acupuncture needles. Typically these are placed in specified locations on the body, and then the practitioner leaves the client alone to let the needles stimulate their energies. This is a fundamentally different than the methodologies used in an EEM session, or when EEM is used for self-care, therefore we did not consider it significantly close in nature to EEM.
Traditional Massage – this modality uses techniques that are also found in EEM, although the emphasis in massage is to work with soft tissues, whereas in EEM it is to work with energy systems. Less frequently, or absent altogether, are there exercises or techniques used to directly stimulate subtle energies. More importantly, the typical rationale for the benefits of massage are explained via muscular skeletal alignment, or soft tissue release, and are not explained via the balancing of subtle energies.
Yoga – yoga is an ancient practice which has many different branches and expressions. In the US, emphasis is on the postural and breathing practices, which fall into the branch referred to as Hatha Yoga. There is some similarity between yoga postures and EEM Daily Energy Exercises or other EEM exercises. In fact some are very similar. However the execution of those practices are quite different than the use of EEM exercises of a private EEM session. Hatha Yoga is primarily a group based, teacher led experience, and there are not typically hands on based healing techniques as a core component of the major branches of Hatha yoga.


SENSORY: Life On The Spectrum is a 180+ page anthology about autism that I organised single-handedly for Autism Acceptance Month in 2021. i also made several comics that appear in the anthology. After a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over £45,000, the anthology has since been traditionally published with Andrews McMeel and distributed around the world.

Hi there from Robert!
I am just getting started on making this ILEX Tools project open source. Previously the code was on my computer integrated into a C++ program
but now I am trying to separate out the data itself into one project called ILEX, the library and some other tools into this project, and the final program into another project.
Now I'm just learning about SourceForge.net and how to use the facilities, so please be patient with me (or else offer to help me). I don't actually know how to make a library yet so I have to learn that as well.
I am looking to make the library that uses multilingual dictionary more comprehensive, more general and more universal and to get others involved in helping add to this code.
Main Features of the ILEX Tools
- LIBRARY (Read-only): Ability to easily access (read) the ILEX Database from C or C++ and other high-level languages.
- LIBRARY (Read-write): Ability to easily edit and expand the ILEX Database from C or C++ and other high-level languages.
- SPELL CHECKER: A spell checking program able to handle multiple languages within a document. This program can also be a way to expand the ILEX Database.
- DICTIONARY EXPANDER (DEX): A program to expand the ILEX Database, e.g., if the entry for English hot contains the opposite cold, then the entry for cold should contain the opposite hot.
- OPEN SOURCE: Will be released under GPL v3 for everyone to use freely.
- MULTILINGUAL: The largest word base is English but there are a reasonable number of words from about a dozen languages. It is hoped to greatly expand the number of languages by harvesting online dictionaries.
- INTERNATIONALIZED: Everything is in UTF8 and would like to be able to handle as many of the worlds languages as possible (not just the major ones). Also handles dialects, e.g., British English and American English.
- TAGGED: Words are not only tagged with a part of speech, but also with semantic components, e.g., yellow is a colour/color, oak is a type of tree, piston is part of an engine.
