As I approach the deadline for publishing my conference paper in the New Zealand and also the Australian kinesiology journals, it has become apparent that it needs to be published in long form and put on public sale.
Right now, I am still wrestling with the text ahead of the deadline for both journals. Which is August 1st. While the New Zealand presentation takes place at the end of August, the Australian lecture doesn’t happen until late October. Despite the gap between the two conferences, the deadline is the same for each. August 1st.
The structure for the paper has been mind-mapped and I am currently about half way through fleshing out the text. The tricky part is adding in the latest techniques and research I have been doing. Some of which hasn’t been released before and is being polished up specially for these journals. Unreleased material can tend to blow your word count out. So its taking me twice as long to write the paper and “integrate” the new material.
The eBook Version
In that light, “Integrating Kinesiology & Flower Therapy” will be released in 3 versions.
- Conference paper ( short version. )
- Hard copy / eBook called “Clinical Flower Therapy”. I.e the paper will be fleshed out with more content and become the main text for CFT.
- Hard copy / eBook called “Clinical Flower Therapy for Kinesiology”. This version is an addendum to the main CFT manual and will detail the protocol for kinesiology. As well as some tips and tricks for kinesiologists.
The hard copy versions won’t be ready before the New Zealand conference as I don’t want to rush the releases. While the conference version does a pretty good job of covering everything in a ‘dot-point’ format, there were some things that didn’t fit the flow of the narrative. Or the word count. So they will be left out and published in the hard copy version.
As I have a 2 month gap between the New Zealand and the Australian conferences, I aim to finish the full version of the eBook and release it at the Australian conference in October as part of the 2018 Skyflowers Catalogue.
The Two Texts
While the forthcoming book “Clinical Flower Therapy” will have a chapter on the integration of flower therapy into other natural health modalities in it, it won’t be as detailed as the conference paper, let alone the eBook version of “Clinical Flower Therapy for Kinesiology“. The full version of “Clinical Flower Therapy” will focus squarely on the principles of plant medicine and will be about ‘pure’ flower therapy. The chapter about other systems and modalities will only briefly cover kinesiology in broad strokes detail. So if you are a kinesiologist, you are better to pick up a copy of “Clinical Flower Therapy for Kinesiology” and read that before the main text book, Clinical Flower Therapy. The chart showing the flower therapy protocol / safety procedures will be worth your while, let alone the hundreds of tips it offers.
“Clinical Flower Therapy for Kinesiology” will contain extra material like kinesiology charts of the procedure ( which kinesiologists can use in clinic ) and other diagrams to illustrate some of the finer points of technique. These additional graphics won’t be published in the conference journal. This version will be a stand alone text but it is is designed as a ‘prequel’ to the main CFT text book and training workshop. A bridge, so to speak for kinesiology practitioners to cross over.
But more on this later.
For now I had better get off my blog and back to my word processor. The first draft of my conference paper isn’t finished yet and I have just 3 days to finish the final version. Including the graphics. So I best get cracking. I will post updates on the hard copy version later and will be announce it on the blog and Www.Skyflowers.Tv when it is released.
