Newsletter No2
When the power of love overcomes the love of power there will be peace in the world.

Hello again from Metta

I hope this newsletter finds you in good health and you are enjoying the wonderful summer whether.  Here at Metta, we've been busy developing and improving the site.

Each week changes have been made to both the content and appearance of Mettá.  Some changes are major but most are quite subtle. All have been made to improve the quality and presentation of the information available. So, if you have not visited for a while - come and have another look around!

The listings at Mettá have grown considerably over the past few months, but our objective of providing something for everyone within a 10 mile radius of there home still has quite some way to go.

Many elements at Mettá have moved on substantially since the launch back in April, including the introduction of a new Astrology Section with weekly astrological  forecasts and general star sign information being provided by Ellen Emeney. Ellen can also provide personal charts and forecasts, her specialities include rectification, which is establishing a most probable time of birth, if it is "unknown". So, if you don't know your birth time Ellen can work with you to establish it and thus your Ascendant.

There are improved Rune Stone readings and an expanded Fun Stuff Section. The Fun Stuff section now includes an interesting personal quiz/test, which you might like to try, as well as a few other oddities to play with.

As resources and information are added, Mettá continues to grow and we hope to continue to make Mettá a useful resource as well as a fun place for people to visit.  Mettá will continue to expand coverage of a wide range of alternative and holistic issues and provide a single information point for all things "holistic" in the UK. All listings will remain available free to individuals and charitable organisations with a voluntary contribution still being requested to help maintain Mettá. As Mettá grows we hope to remove the need for this request.

Much work still remains to be done.  As many of you may know, the original programme was seriously cut back, but Mettá will continue to grow as a service for people in the UK.  We are still looking for help with contributions from those of you with an understanding of specific therapies and treatments.

If you have a web site or home page we would very much appreciate a link to Metta. Various methods are available including a search box which can be placed on your site. Details of the various methods are available at Link to Metta We would also welcome the opportunity to send out some leaflets to you. If you are able to make these available to your visitors please get in touch.

The Therapies section has been expanded a little over the last few months but urgently needs editorial input from those that are familiar with currently listed, and other therapies. We are looking for brief summaries describing in lay terms how specific therapies work and what they can offer.

Below are a few links to various elements of Mettá which may have gone unnoticed or are new.

If you think this email would be is of interest to your friends and colleagues please forward it to them.
