Arithmetic Lessons-online programme

My new project is "Arithmetic lessons" for Class 1 to 3 pupils.
Learning arithmetic is not just for your head.
It is really important to learn number theories and rules through your body.

This "Arithmetic Lessons" leads you and your children to practical and rhythmical exercises.

Children will learn numbers, four processes, and the beauty of numbers as they enjoy!

Arithmetic newsletter

I started publishing another e-mail newsletter "Arithmetic newsletter."

Topics based on Waldorf Steiner education are very useful.

Updates

After long absence, I want to update my activities.

After publishing two books which are Steiner-Waldorf educational books for home-edu families, I prepared for my new project.

The project is called "e-waldorf inspiration on-line workshop."

As you can guess what it is, this is workshops you can learn by yourself via internet. You sign up for the membership, which is fairly reasonable, and can take workshops wherever you are. Just the site is currently limited for Japanese speakers. We are planning to publish these programs for English speakers eventually...


I want anybody to enjoy the activities on the programme, since only experience of using your hands can give you real understanding of this learning. But it is not easy to do this kind of activities by yourself without good instruction.

This program provides good text articles, pictures, and video clips. So members can easily follow the instruction.


We have members' forum too. Members can talk about their experiences through the workshops, discuss topics, exchange informations, and find frineds! It is fun to have friends to learn with.


Just come and join us.
You will find something outstanding which you have never seen in Steiner educational materials.

horoscope reading

I just want to copy the horoscope reading here.
Because it was encouraging, and it brought some bright hope to my near future.

This year, we are planning to move on to new path of our lives.

We are almost sure that the change would bring us more happiness, though it is nice to hear some hopeful fortunes like this.

So I copy it here as a record for me, and also to cheer us up.
Hope it can also cheer you up.

------- the reading result -------


The influence of your Day of Birth;

You were born on the 8th of the month, which makes your birth number 8.

Whenever anyone looks up "motivation" in the dictionary, they find YOUR picture right next to the definition! You're extremely goal-driven and will go through anything -- EVEN brick walls, if need be -- to reach your objectives.

Your hard work reaps its rewards. If you're career oriented, no doubt you have some kind of supervisory role. And you're very good at it, too! You thrive on power, respect and authority. You're the author of the "master plan" for your company -- a plan that will bring prestige and hopefully, money!

Your Destiny number;

A refined intellectual, a woman who's studious, analytical and very research oriented . . .

If you've heard yourself described in these terms by friends from time to time, there's a reason. You're under the influence of a 7 Destiny. The 7 focuses on education, research, learning and mysteries. Women with this Destiny (like yourself!) are constantly working to uncover, to solve and to find answers to life's questions.

If you prefer the company of a book to the company of friends on some evenings, you are indeed, feeling the power of a 7 Destiny!

In order to fulfill your destiny, it's important to accept that there are certain things you must be, do, and accomplish in your life. As someone with a 7 Destiny, your mission is to discover and educate the world.

Your Life Path's influence;

Ambitious, authoritative and able . . .

My friend, your qualities are genuine "Triple A"-cutting edge! In addition to the above traits, feel free to add self-confident, energetic and efficient.

The source of all these marvelous traits is the 8 Lifepath you're on. Women on this materialistically-oriented Lifepath tend to be dependable hard workers who are determined to get to the top in their own particular field or industry and who have the emotional and physical "stuff" it takes to make it into the big time.

Your Intuitive Plane;

You are very attuned to supernatural phenomena, and have keen insight into forces which others are not even aware of.

You should learn how to tap into your excellent PSYCHIC abilities and find answers to life's mysteries.

Some people could talk until they're blue in the face and not be able to convince anyone of anything. You, on the other hand, have but to lift an eyebrow or smile ever so slightly to WIN people over. And when you actually make a formal argument for or against something, your persuasive powers are at their peak.

"Well, things could always be worse." That's a typical reaction for you to a predicament that might leave someone else in a funk for days. Being OPTIMISTIC just comes naturally to you, and you have a knack for finding the humor in almost every situation. The only thing that brings you "down" is being considered superficial or fake.

Your Personality number - how others see you;

My friend, when people talk of refinement, distinction and quality, your name tends to pop into their minds. Your distinguished characteristics, combined with a tendency to be alone, can turn you into an interesting-and yes, even somewhat romantic-figure.

The reason for the outward appearance you convey to others is that you're under the influence of a 7 Outer Personality. Women with this Personality can be the shy, studious quiet types. But even though you aren't flamboyant or loud, people DO remember you after you've come and gone!

You always give the appearance of being expert in your fields of endeavor. This is because you most likely take the time to study or bone up on that topic.

Your Soul Urge influence - what truly makes you happy;

Spiritual, generous warm . . . someone who is giving to others and beloved of all. . .

If this sounds like someone you know - namely YOU - there's a good reason: you're under the influence of a 9 Soul Urge.

The driving forces within you are compassion and a love of harmony and beauty in the world. Your whole makeup is oriented toward helping others in need, and on a very large scale.

You're the eternal optimist, a woman who regards the glass as half-full rather than half-empty, and who always looks for the good in other people. You possess that enviable ability to forgive and forget.

Along with the capacity to perceive beauty amidst ugliness, you're extremely intuitive. You ALWAYS know what to say to whom...and when to say it!

Life Changing

Kayo, the above was just a small taste of what I can tell you. But at a time like this, you also want answers about your future. It's depressing to spend so much time not knowing if what you want to happen will happen. Worse yet, not doing what you could to make it happen.

You are a person who has many great things yet to come into their life. What I have to tell you will turn your life into the life you want - bringing you the things you deserve. What I tell you will be the most important information you will ever receive.

Keep in mind that the path to happiness is more than just monetary riches. Think about a life in which you awaken each morning to greet the day with a smile because you KNOW good things will happen to you! Picture yourself experiencing such a day in which all your spiritual and emotional traffic lights are green, allowing you to sail through the day with no roadblocks!

Imagine yourself walking into a room and automatically being the focal point of attention because your serenity has become so attractive to others. Furthermore, picture yourself being able to WEATHER DIFFICULT TIMES WITH EASE because you know that better days are just around the corner!

Vosscination

Now we are almost ready to publish our website containing my parents-in-law's art works. The web site name, also the business name, is called VOSScination.

The word Vosscination is made from their family name "VOSS" and a word "fascination".

We are introducing Voss' art works: jewellery, sculpture and accessory, and of course are selling them!

They are actually fascinating!!



The site is not completed yet, but I think the structure is ok enough to publish.
And also the collected works are not enough, but more and more are coming.
As we receive the works and data, I will update our "gallery."

I hope you will enjoy it!

long absence again

Sorry my dear readers.
(I don't think there are so many...though. hahaha)

Recent world around me was like swift stream. Everything happened quickly, and moved fast.

One of the things we, my husband and myself, have just started last week was starting new business.


My husband's parents are both artists, creating sculptures, jewelleries and some other accessories. Since they live in Germany and they mainly sell their art works through exhibitions or crafts fairs, only local people can see their wonderful works.

You know, artists are people who are good at creating beautiful stuff, but generally not the people who are good at selling the items.

So I just thought that I would sell their works through our website!

I am not a professional merchant yet, but I have prepared to start e-commerce business to sell our stuff since Spring.
So... why not selling his parents' works ?

The idea came up suddenly last week, and one week has passed.
Now we are almost ready to publish our new website!!

Can you imagine how busy we have been??


My husband is also a semi-professional photographer, so he has been taking my mum-in-law's jewelleries.
I have been building the website...

The website is not completed, but the structure is done.



So... I will let you know the web site information soon!!
I hope you will like it!

long time no see...

yeah.... How long have I been absent from this blog1?

My husband pointed that I have not updated this site for a long long long time.




ummm.


I have been writing a book about Geometry activities from Waldorf school lessons.
Lots of crafty activities and Geometric drawings you can actually do with your children.
I hope that parents and their children would enjoy these activities together.


The book is almost done.


Exciting!

blue solar water

I don't know if you have ever heard of the "blue solar water."
If you don't know and want to know about it, please search it on the web. You will find loads of web pages about "blue solar water" and "ho'oponopono."

This week I bought two bottles of mineral water "TY NANT."

The bottle is beautiful dark blue glass and the shape is simple and beautiful.
The water is collected in Wales.

I searched same item in Japan, and I learned that the same products are sold in Japan as well. Of course the price is surprisingly high. I also learned that TY NANT is sold in the supermarket "JUSCO" in Japan.

Anyway, I bought two bottles at the local supermarket, and made the special "blue solar water."

The method is quite simple and sounds nothing special.

Just fill some tap water in the blue bottle, then put a non-metal lid on.
Leave the bottle under sunshine for 15 min to 1 hour. (it is ok when it's cloudy or rainy.)

Drink the water 2 litres a day.
The water can be used for cooking, cleaning, watering plants, skin care....etc.


The water left in the sun tasted surprisingly mild.
The tap water in this region is hard though the "blue solar water" was soft and mild.
Actually it tasted like mineral water.

After one day trial, I realized that my skin got more moisture than before.
My muscles are softer although my muscles are usually as tough as rocks.

The rice cooked in the blue solar water tasted better.
Of course it is no wonder it tasted better, since the water itself tasted much better.


The difference of my skin and muscle might have been caused by drinking a lot of water... not because of the specific water called "blue solar water", because drinking a lot of water is good for your health.

But there is one mysterious phenomenon I experienced.

That was... the water always made me sleepy instantly.
I felt the water is actually working on where something's wrong... such as my back or shoulders.

So..... obviously it is not just tap water any more.

It has gotten some vibration energy from the sun and gained the power from the blue colour.
I don't know HOW that works scientifically. But I am feeling it works through my physical experiment.



My husband doesn't believe the power of the water, but now he likes drinking the water.
The water is tasty. Your sense of taste can prove it.








It is simple, isn't it?

blooming!

England is a country of roses... Although the climate in England is not really suitable for growing roses, people love the flower and make so much effort to have the gorgeous success on their rose bushes. The fact that there are so many beautiful rose gardens in this country shows the British people's love for roses.

The rose in my little garden bloomed today.
As the bud grow bigger, it spread the strong scent.
Today the rose flower opened like this. See the photo below.




Isn't it gorgeous???
