Introducing Ravi Walsh
…at the last possible moment! I was very, very lucky that Ravi Walsh agreed to step in at the last minute after one of the Festival of Change speakers had to drop out. He’s a spiritual life coach who works with a method of his own creation – or maybe it would be better to call it a method of his own discovery, as it sounds as though it rather created itself – called Symbolic Tracking. You can read about that here – and you’ll see why he’s a good fit for a Festival celebrating living in the flow of change, and all our ways of connecting with it.
Every time I mentioned some new aspect of the Festival of Change to a certain friend and mentoring client, she’d tell me I really needed to talk to James about that. Looking at his various websites , I could see what she meant – lots of breadth there, signs of a wholesome, down-to-earth attitude and a willingness to call things ‘utter twaddle’ – and went to talk with Yi. (I did this for all the people I considered asking as speakers, probably more asking about other people than I’ve ever done before.
I only got to know Tori because a friend recommended her as a speaker for the Festival of Change. I started reading her blog, was smitten, and then downloaded her audio about full spectrum listening . Normally this is only available when you sign up on her site , but she’s given us this excerpt you can download for a flavour of it with no sign-up required.
Another example reading for you, this one for Jennifer Louden, whom I just introduced . I’m reading for as many of the Festival of Change speakers before the event as would like to be read for – obviously, not everyone has something share-able going on that calls for a reading. But Jen does… she’s moved by a strong sense that change wants to happen, that her work wants to move or evolve and something different wants to emerge, but she’s not clear or confident about its shape
The company behind the magicJack, the Internet mobile phone gadget heavily promoted on television, has announced totally free phone telephone calls from computer systems, via phones and iPads. The cost of cell phone calls routed more than the World wide web has been on a long slide. There are by now a multitude of programs that enable totally free calling involving computer systems, and some that permit totally free, but brief, cell phone calls to regular cell phone amounts
Jennifer Louden ’s an opening speaker – and a speaker about ‘opening’ – for the Festival of Change . I asked her to participate after I discovered her ‘ listening to the question ’ audio. As you might imagine, the title caught my attention – I spend a whole lot of time listening to questions, other people’s as well as my own.
I’ve been talking with each speaker for the Festival of Change , bouncing ideas around, discussing what we’ll cover in their call, and getting to the point where – never mind the whole running-an-event, selling-tickets thing – I’m really looking forward to this just for what I can learn from these people. Anyway… I’ve tried to give the Festival the shape of a reading, or of any experience of connection (as the event isn’t just for people familiar with an oracle), such as perceiving synchronicity or interpreting a dream. The idea is that as we travel through this structure, it opens up a space where each participant can have that experience of connection, rather than just listening to a bunch of theory about it.
I saw your posting: “How can this service be absolutely free to my company if we use it, or am I reading this wrong?” You are correct, Rondee does not charge for basic service. The way our basic service works is that we give you a California dial-in number which is area code 619 or 916. Calls to these area codes are treated by your phone company just like any other calls to these California area codes. We do charge for value-added services such as a 1-800 access number and you are welcome at any point to try using our 1-800 service or not.
I saw the posting: “Thank you for your wonderful services. I am a grade school teacher that would like to offer various classes available on conferance so as to allow parents the ability to participate. Is there a way that you can direct me to distribute a “mute” call in number, so as to eliminate “static”
Some background to this… Pamela Moss is one of the speakers for Festival of Change ; I asked her to talk about integration, carrying change through in practice, as I happen to know she’s Very Good At This, and she said ‘yes’, and I danced round the room a bit, in a reserved, English sort of way. It occurred to me that if I gave each speaker a reading, that reading might turn out to be the kind we could share, and then the recording would be a really good introduction to the speaker
Recently we released Truphone for iPhone 4.0 & iPod 4.0, which performed in background mode, allowing you to receive calls regardless of what other task you were performing at the time. We believe it’s a great feature that really expands the way you can use Truphone and make calls for free or next to nothing – but a few weeks into it, we are not happy with the way the app has been performing in background mode.
The more closely I look at the Image – the Daxiang wing, I mean – the more I think whoever wrote it was a sage. One tiny example… you know how most of the hexagrams’ Images tell you what the ‘noble one’ would do? And then there are three that tell you about the prince, and seven that tell you about the ancient kings.
With Australia, Spain and the Netherlands coming on board soon as Truphone Local Anywhere countries (on top of the UK and the USA), we have decided the time is right to make things a little easier for our Truphone Local Anywhere customers, by introducing Truphone Membership. Instead of separately selecting each Truphone country you want local rates in, Truphone Membership gives you access to local rates in ALL Truphone countries for just £10 / €10 / $15 a month, even as more countries are added. What if you’re not travelling to any of the Truphone countries and only using the service at home or away on short trips
I’ve been working hard on this behind the scenes for a while now, and it’s high time I let you know about it… When – 4th to 12th September Where – wherever you happen to be, within reach of a phone line – we’ll connect via teleseminars and a private forum. What – a Festival of Change . This is to celebrate change, and explore ways we align ourselves with its flow – through oracles of all kinds, dreams, paying attention to synchronicities… everything we use to be more in touch with the inner nature of the moment.
Truphone for Android upgraded – now works on 3 new handsets
With the release of the new Android 2.2 platform (aka 'Froyo'), we have now released an upgrade of Truphone for Android . As well as allowing the app to work on Froyo, great news is that the upgrade also means Truphone for Android now works on the following three new handsets: HTC Desire Motorola Droid/Milestone Motorola CLIQ There is also a handy new feature – the Exit button. The button allows you to close the app so that it stops running in the background.
I’ve stumbled across a question to ask Yi that’s rapidly becoming one of my favourites: ‘What’s the gift?’ It can be asked about almost anything, of course. A situation, an approach, a book… I just asked about what my new way of eating gives me, and had a very clear, very interesting reply
3G and background calling now available with Truphone v4.0
Unless you have been living in a cave over the past few months, you would have heard about iPhone 4, Apple's latest and greatest phone, which went on sale overnight . To celebrate, we are all very excited to announce that we have just upgraded our iPhone and iPod touch applications to take advantage of some of the great new features with this launch
The 2010 American Solar Challenge isn’t until next week, but records may have already been broken. In testing, the University of Michigan Solar Car Team’s Infinium clocked speeds of more than 100 mph for 30 seconds at Ford Motor Co.’s Michigan Proving Ground, achieving a top speed of 105 mph.
Next two Truphone Local Anywhere countries announced
There has been lots of requests coming in for what the next Truphone Local Anywhere country should be. And we are happy to announce today that the next two countries, after Australia (which will be launching soon), are… The Netherlands and Spain We have formed relationships with Vodafone in the Netherlands, and with Orange in Spain, and will be launching in both countries towards the end of the year
These are something I can’t write – I can’t help seeing the world through ‘hexagram glasses’ – but I love coming across them: articles about other things that just happen to be really excellent hexagram commentaries. Havi Brooks has been writing some very nice inadvertent Yijing things lately, even to the point of accidentally writing about the connections between hexagrams – and then she’s had to put up with me bouncing around in her ‘comments’ section ranting on about hexagram sequence, trigrams and nuclear hexagrams on a blog that has nothing to do with the Yi at all. (You can find all those comments via the following links to Havi’s posts.) Havi’s been writing specifically about being visible, or invisible, and that desire to hide the light under a bushel.
I’m sorry to go so quiet lately. I’ve been having wonderful experiences with Yi, and readings, and connections and shifts happening… and all to do with clients’ readings, so I can never share them here in public. (I’m very happy that I’m blessed with clients who share my joy in these things and laugh in recognition at synchronicities.) Here’s one I can share, though… This morning I picked up a book to read over breakfast before getting started on the first reading of the day, and opened it to this quotation from Rilke: “I want to beg you… to be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue
Worry about your team, not your phone bill in South Africa.
The preparation is almost complete, the hard months of training are nearly over and the big event is just one day away… Now you just need your team to win! The 2010 World Cup in South Africa is going to be an incredible event and with many fans travelling thousands of miles to watch their team, what better way to stay in touch with loved ones back home than with Truphone. With a free Truphone application, you can make low cost calls over Wi-Fi to any local or international number
Each hexagram of the Yijing contains a nuclear hexagram at its core. And since the nuclear hexagram unfolds from lines 2-5, it’s the first and last lines, the ‘entrance and exit’ or ‘roots and shoots’ of the hexagram, that vary – so that four hexagrams can be formed around each nucleus.
For a few years now, we have been producing mobile VoIP applications . At the same time, we have been keeping a close eye on the growing interest people around the world have for what we think is a pretty clever (and cost-effective) way to make calls. In the past few days, a couple of articles came out writing about the future of mobile VoIP.

2 Questions that came in this morning 1) Are recorded conference calls free? We do not charge for audio recording. conference call2) When you send out an invite, can you set up a reminder, so that when they open up Outlook, there’s already a reminder in there, so they don’t forget about the upcoming meeting (i.e., 15 min
On my ‘day off’ a couple of weeks ago, I went and wandered round the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, going whereever I felt drawn. Presently I found myself up on the second floor, in front of a huge wooden carving of a seated Guan Yin. There she is in her perspex box, faded cracking wood and bright eyes, hand raised in blessing.
