Incense Man Newsletter Friday 27 August 2010 - what's new, what's back in stock, this fortnight's special offers, the Top Five bestsellers and your free bonus giveaway!
Hi there...
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, about the devastation caused by the flooding in Pakistan... and I was shocked at how little he knew about the scale of the problems there. So I thought it might be a good idea to try to put the situation into perspective.
Many people don't realize how large Pakistan is, nor how inaccessible many parts of the county are. Well, Pakistan is four times the size of the United Kingdom, and at the peak of the floods one fifth of the country was underwater - that's an area equivalent to THE WHOLE OF ENGLAND AND WALES being submerged. And at the moment, there are still almost ONE MILLION people who are cut off by the flood-waters, and can only be reached by helicopter.
Even worse, FIVE MILLION people are homeless... and a total of EIGHT MILLION are in immediate need of emergency aid - that's the same number of people as EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD living in the Greater London area.
The GOOD news is that the DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) appeal has now raised over £40 million in aid... but the BAD news is that with an estimated total of over 20 million people affected by the disaster, much more is needed.
SO PLEASE - if you haven't already done so (or maybe even if you have!) donate whatever you can afford to help with the relief work... NO MATTER HOW LITTLE, IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. (I'm really sorry to bang on about this, but so many people are suffering, and we can do so much to help...)
Now, on an entirely different, and MUCH more cheerful subject - if you fancy a bit of self-help, why not try Chris Elam's excellent meditation CD, "Yoga Nidra Through The Chakras"? (Yoga Nidra has been proven to be an effective aid in alleviating mental and emotional problems. This hour-long CD consists of 6 x 10 minute guided meditations, designed to awaken sensitivity to the main energy-centres. Each track has a corresponding visualisation and affirmation, accompanied by emotive background music.)
OK - now here's your usual look at the highlights of what's happening around the world during the coming fortnight...
OK, that's more than enough to be going on with - so here's your update on what's been happening on the Incense Man website since the last newsletter, two weeks ago:-
We've had a few deliveries arriving, including a consignment of new layered shell pendants... take a look, I think you'll like them!

complete without a free incense giveaway - and as usual this one lasts for
a whole TWO weeks, until the next edition of the newsletter. You'll find the details a
little further down the page...
