The GreenplanetFM Podcast with Tim Lynch

Gary Cook is a leading writer on the special nature of the mystic realms that are to be found in New Zealand.An explorer of ancient sacred places and energy sites in the unique New Zealand landscape, Gary has devoted many years of searching and writing of the wonders to be found within the islands of New Zealand and the South Pacific.His extensive journeys and experiences allow him to share much of the deeper nature of the forests, the waters and the mountains that allows us all to connect with the natural order in a deeper and more meaningful way.The interview ranges over what evidence is available of earlier Portuguese and Spanish visits off the Northland coast, back to the Egyptians of Rata and Maui as well as early Chinese indications in the South Island. To Auckland's energy nodal power point or  'acupuncture meridian' beneath One Tree Hill, Maungakiekie and dowsing to recognizing the sacred of mother earth in having reverence for nature, plus communion with the biota of the natural world, to what is the

Is there another crunch coming ... as early as late this year?  This is what is being perceived that maybe by 2012 at the latest.Why is the Govt not looking at conservation measures or fuel efficiency?The NZ National Government and the Labour Party refuse to acknowledge that global oil production has hit a plateau and that estimates of oil deposits are shrinking and that oil companies have even declined to prospect in NZ waters due to increasing costs.NZ will be hit harder than the USA when it comes to dependence on oil, due to our intensive use of fuels in agriculture, forestry and tourism. 85 to 89 million barrels production per day is a gigantic number that has been basically pumped at the same level for the last 4 years.We have used up this endowment of cheap easy oil and the bubble is about to burst.It takes a 10 to 15 year run up time before production of oil or coal can be deployed, with no huge breakthroughs in finding new oil fields, plus the problem of releasing more pollution into the atmosphere an

We the human race are grounded in the possibility of potential, and that within the subatomic realms - that we are composed of and totally surrounded by ... everything in reality is actually consciousness.We are an energy field inside a universal energy field - many will say a 'divine' energy field.So what does this make us?Join the revolution of the self as we journey deeper into a more expansive level of science and of being, as we realise the possibilities of our inner potential and the transformation of ourselves and ... the human race? We are now at a crossroads on our planet to take a conscious leap with this new knowing ... what are our possibilities?www.amitgoswami.org Edited today 31 January 2014 - Green Fire Horse of the Chinese Calendar Amit has been to NZ a number of times, and the imperative is that we realise that as 'energy bundles of exponential potential' the only thing that is truly stopping us - is ourselves and our own process! We will find that there is as much to know on the inner as the

A conversation around key strategies and healthy choices to take care of ones being, during stressful times.How do we relate to the present and deepening our understanding of our place in the ecology, that surrounds us?A wide ranging discussion from organic food, to Koanga Gardens now Kaiwaka Organics, to broths, and seeds - about Chinese and Indian foods, many greens eaten in China and many seeds in curries in India.No frying of foods is encouraged - due to the fact that the heat and the oils/fats produce free radicals, that are detrimental to bodily health.What can we grow at our own back door? Can we and should we catch rainwater off our roof, once the first 10 minutes of rain flushes the roof and guttering, to then put through a filter for house use?What quality of water are we pumping into our city from the Waikato River and drinking?Dr Masaru Emoto, the Japanese researcher of thought and intention using frozen water crystals programed with Love and Gratitude that show an exquisitely, elegant and refined

We as a human, still struggle with understanding existence and Tom as a researcher of natural phenomena has focussed on the arcane, or what we call esoteric science and knowledge, that has led him to experience existence from another quadrant of being.In many ways he says we are enlightened, yet we have been programed by genetic and our localised environment to not realize this.Subjects covered:From New Zealander Trevor Constable, author of The Cosmic Pulse of Life and his cloud busting /weather making - to sylphs - and Wilhelm Reich's experiments on orgone energy and psychological insights around character armoring, to Rudolph Steiners, philosophical understandings, bio-dynamic farming and our connection to existence. Ranging across the colour spectra and colours of the rainbow to light and electrical phenomena, and Nikola Tesla's wireless electricity 'that could have' if his finance was not withdrawn, revolutionized electricity generation and supply - planet round.Asking the question, did Albert Einstein, d

Imagine hundreds of earth conscious communities networked across our nation by goodwill (and fiber optics) being embedded in both the rural sector and urban environments, that have their own currency, of both Green Dollars and Time Banks.These all linked by localised computer networks (but also without computers) that if you are short of NZ hard currency you can still earn, trade and be innovative business people and entrepreneurs. Where volunteers actually get paid, and there is no lack or want.Starting from a background in organic gardens, permaculture, and community projects over the past 25 years, Laurence has sought key levers for change.In the early to mid 90’s he founded the Environmental Business Network drawing more than 500 companies into its membership under his leadership, (the network later became the Sustainable Business Network). In this time he worked with people like Anita Roddick of The Body Shop and Dr Karl Hendrik Robert founder of The Natural Step. Advocating community solutions led to Tr

Rod Oram, Business Journalist covers the spectrum of business and how it relates to everything.Stating that New Zealand in many ways is only a reflection of what's happening around the world.Covering: Our current economic model that has hit the wall - environmentally, socially and economically which he says sounds pretty dire ... both Government and business get very low marks for lack of vision and innovation.Clean green image - we are pushing our luck ... We are too casual as to how we treat the environment.Organic food growing is definitely the best process as it mimics natural process but ... how easy is it for NZ to convert, and would we obtain the volume of produce required?We are the only developed country with no emmission standards for cars and trucks and having the oldest fleet in the world too. Why?Plus forestry, huge challenges - how much carbon is stored in a tree? How is this calculated? Could we plant gigantic forests that all New Zealanders have shares in, for a nationwide superannuation schem

This new magazine recently launched to fill the void left by the Healthy Options publication being forced off the market by vested interests here in NZ.The New Zealand Journal of Natural Medicine explores a wide range of topics that are relevant to maintaining or regaining good health.These include nutritional healing, herbal medicine, New Zealand native Rongoa, exercise, homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, massage and many other modalities that can contribute to improving people’s health. This in depth interview covers:•  Radiation protection as a response to the Japanese nuclear reactors leaking radiation into the Pacific ocean and atmosphere and the benefits of using tumeric as one method, which incidentally is used in curries being a very good antioxidant. Iodine is another radiation protector.•  Also discussed is, thermography, a benign non invasive test for breasts, that is far better for woman to have as apposed to having a mammogram, which is essentially an X-ray of the breast, where women are e

There are many methods to treat cancer today that cover the full spectrum, from surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and drugs, to a vast array of holistic modalities and natural therapies, to visualisation and spiritual healing.By bridging all medical methods, Grace collaborates with oncologists in an endeavour to find the best outcomes for patients.With a marked increase in cancer across the human race, we inherently know that the pollution of both mind, body and planet, is totally related. However, we also know that cancer can attack anyone at any age, for no known reason and with no warning.Listen to an exceptionally dedicated and connected healer who has worked with over 13,000 patients sharing her gifts and goodwill to empower them and their loved ones on this journey to deliver and cure us from this debilitating syndrome. Covering the need for love, supportive family, de-stressing, clearing toxic relationships, to practical steps such as diet, exercise, meditation, prayer, yoga, and positive thinking.Also

Is famine coming our way, as food prices continue climbing at the same time as fuel prices? Are we entering a increasingly insecure world? Realising that a billion people, a very large part of the global family here on earth are going to bed hungry, Oxfam in around 40 countries, has initiated a giant global campaign called GROW which is an intelligent response to the hunger that people are suffering from at this very moment.Where recently hunger has been declining, it has since 2008 risen dramatically, where in 23 countries there have been food riots and major protests in 61.This is coming at a time of Peak oil, but Peak Agricultural Land Use was reached in around 1999 to 2001 and has been in actual decline ever since.This is a critical issue that deserves serious attention, attention in the world already in the grip of multiple, economic, environmental and societal challenges. Note that the average NZ family spends 16% of its income on food, whilst in the developing world 50% of a families income is spent on

Listen to a very lucid and eye opening critique on the state of Auckland, our new SupercityMels Barton is the editor of the Glen Eden Guardian, Secretary of the Titirangi Ratepayers Assoc, Trustee of the Ecomatters Environment Trust, and the Weed Free Trust, the Secretary of the Friends of Regional Parks, the National Coordinator of Sea Week, plus President of GAG (the Grassroots Action Group), Mels has her finger on many pulses.Find out how the elected council representatives are being totally overloaded with information and data, then expected to vote on issues that they do not have the necessary time to research. For example, having to attend a council meeting in two days time, but given a 500 page dossier to read and fully understand.Note, that where once our democratic process was to vote in a full council who managed the ongoing affairs of the city, today Auckland appears to have a two tier system that operates with a corporate model embedded in all aspects of council, and that elected council members a

One of the greater challenges for both the individual and groups of human beings today, is to find a way to organize ourselves to plan and build a successful business, or community initiative and (if viable) actually make it happen - every time, with easy to use templates.Dana Darwin, originally from Canada, now domiciled in NZ is a Founder of Platform One Foundation Charitable Trust, which is the umbrella organisation that supports the platform network of villages. He is also a Core member of a NZ based global Person-to-Person network actively developing and implementing a bottom up system model of organisation for businesses and communities. Bottom up, means from the grass roots up.Dana is actively engaged with many organisations including Solar Industries Association, Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority, Auckland City Council, and closely aligned and working with a large NZ based group of companies and business professionals delivering positive results in the sustainability arena. With a very broa

The Good, the bad and the ugly, in reverse order.Why is it that the NZ Govt and a number of Departments plus some businesses here have no interest at all in GE Free NZ, Nuclear Free NZ and Clean Green NZ?Why do they seem to want the swamp of sameness for our unique situation, by not positioning us to possibly be the only organic country on earth with a massive marketing (and moral) advantage?  An Ark no less.And why is it that the NATIONAL government has done away and cancelled the - 100% Pure NZ - campaign and white washed it to now be - The New Zealand 100% Pure You - campaign, which does away with our country and landscape being 100% PURE and is just a play on words. Meanwhile, the 100% pure visitor, can unknowingly breathe in more uncontrolled exhaust fumes, drink more chemically treated and sanitised water and presumedly consume in the fast coming future, locally grown non organic GE food! Becoming instead a 100% laboratory experimental tourist. Why are we selling our pristine landscape out, our principl

This weeks interview is very disturbing and it will alarm you. Little do we know the extent of what is happening as rapacious big business, with industry insiders, compliant and or silent media and gagged politicians see off New Zealands assets and sovereignty in what is a shocking expose of corporate takeover in this country.   It’s unprecedented!Huge areas of land are being sold off to overseas interests, businesses too, and the NZ public is completely unaware.Representatives of Government are secretly negotiating agreements and treaties, that do not have to be ratified by Parliament, (unlike America, where they have to go before Congress) that when signed, locks NZ into contracts that will be impossible to withdraw from.As for our military relationship with the USA, listen for some very secretive info that we know nothing about. And what wiki links says about insiders in NZ, who are working against our sovereignty and security and not in the interests of our people as a whole.Why the secrecy? Listen to Mur

Listen to a heart felt story of connection with water and its sacredness.Hear his greetings of goodwill and tears, how indigenous peoples respond to water that nourishes  – our living planet PapaTuanuku our sustainer.Though the Earth is in trouble, it is we humans who need healing. Our planet, though continually abused, sings us awake every morning by birdsong, and flowers opening.We are the water carriers, water vessels shaped as clay, and as man and woman, we need to come back together to coalesce in aroha.Mike has a local river called Tara ariki, passing by his house, this is his connection. Where once gold and silver miners polluted these arteries, Mike has been the river's advocate -- one man's journey to stand for the creeks, rivers and streams for 25 years, to clean up what are sacred waters. As an avid clay worker, he uses this medium to express his connection with Mother Earth and the beings that share this world.A passionate man calls to reconnect with the water and the song in our being -- and the

What makes a young New Zealander want to have his own radio show that after less than a year is on 24 radio stations, 23 of them outside of New Zealand?How is it that other non mainstream media is making inroads towards the populace who are fed up with mainstream media, because of the lack of real news, depth and background information and that there are fewer and fewer NZ journalists and actual news services in this country?To have a revolution in ‘consciousness’ within society, you first have to have a revolution in media to facilitate the revolution in the mind that translates to the revolution on the street – that is the goal of Vinny Eastwood of the Vinny Eastwood show.com - NZ’s leader at the forefront of Guerilla media – leading people with insightful news and comedy at the cutting edge of what’s happening here in NZ and exploring the underbelly of NZ politics, media, justice, corporate fraud and take over and anything else that links into the shadow and helps us to see the lighter side of genocide!Why

Imagine New Zealanders being able to have easy access to a huge nationwide network of every health and healing modality available.From Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Osteopathy, and Naturopathy, plus Massage, Aromatherapy, Iridology and Chiropractic. Today we have Alexander Technique, Bowen Therapy, Hellerwork and Rolfing plus Feldenkrais as well as the tried and true herbal elixirs, potions and tonics and many methods to detox us and eliminate poisons from our body.Going further, we also have vibrational healing, like Bach flowers, and plant and crystal essences, and even colour therapy, plus medical intuitives and many variations of hands-on spiritual healing.Why have so many methods of healing? Because the current allopathic medical model is failing us due to it’s near total emphasis on selling us drugs and pharmaceuticals and treating our body as a machine with no soul. With 9,000 certified holistic health practitioners and healers in NZ, listen to how they are organising themselves into a vast community networ

Do you receive signals from the Earth to be aware of future events?Is the food you eat abundantly nutritious?Our planetary biosphere is in greater peril than ever. While climate change is the greatest challenge of our time, it also presents the greatest possibility - an unprecedented opportunity to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy economy, now and for the future.The desire to generate a balance of living has motivated Tim to change his life and speak out about the lack of balance on Earth today. Covering the Earth's cycles, natural farming to restoring the acoustical vibration of nature. What would it take for farmers to be in communion with the rhythms of the earth and nature?From 3am to 3pm the earth is exhaling (outward energy).  This energy has an effect on every thing on this planet.  From 3pm to 3am the earth is inhaling (inward energy).For example; have you ever noticed a stream or a creek running in the morning when it is pouring down rain, will run extra fast and higher and it can still be p

This morning we continue last weeks forthright discussion with Dr Bruce Lipton, Norma Tarango and myself weaving a raft of subject matter that looks at emergent humanity within the cultural creative movement - that includes the holistic, green, social justice, metaphysical, potentials, spirituality, peace movement and more.Covering Gaia, sacred connection, planetary restoration, indigenous understanding, humanity, quantum consciousness, conscious parenting, personal responsibility and community empowerment.The urgency being - we need to do this daily by thinking it, talking to our family, engaging our neighbours and connecting with our community. The new evolution is that each human being, individually is an entity unto themselves – and  now science is recognizing some thing called a super organism - where each human is a cell in the body of a much larger organism called Humanity – and now humanity is set to evolve to a different level and this is in regard to relationship and family and each other - to unity

This delightful conversational riff spontaneously occurred between Bruce Lipton, Norma Tarango and myself as part of Green Planet FM’s ongoing relationship with what concerns our planet.We found ourselves impassioned about systems of governance and the corporate take over model, and how it impedes the development of community and its needs for energy, health and food independence.Food, money, wellbeing, and indigenous values are also reflected in this interview as part of how we can live on Gaia - in greater harmony.What is poignantly addressed by these two Americans is how and why New Zealand should resist corporate power and control and avoid emulating the collapsing systems of the United States. Dr. Lipton describes this dominance as a serious ailment that is leading us into  systemic patterns of total breakdown. Both Norma and Bruce speak to what comprises  a healthy, cohesive and sane society as grassroots community endeavors  - beating as one heart.  Being thoughtful witnesses to what is happening in Am
