Vibration Magazine is dedicated to the exchange of information about vibrational
remedies of all kinds on a non-partisan basis, favoring no particular company or maker of
essences. We welcome queries from makers, practitioners, educators, and consumers of
essences for articles about their experience. Here are some guidelines.
For the Internet, the style is rather different than for technical writing. To hold
the attention of the reader, language should be clear, simple, vivid, and strong: personal
and personable, rather than academic or technical. Articles need to be brief, specific rather
than general, and with examples readers can use and apply to their own situation and
needs.
We will have a varied audience, all the way from advanced practitioners and
makers to the just introduced and total newbies. The language of most articles would need to
suit that range, though we will use more narrowly focused articles as well. We will edit for
clarity and conciseness, returning the article back to you for approval.

Types of Articles We'd Like to See |
IN-DEPTH PORTRAITS OF SINGLE ESSENCES: Your searching thoughts and
observations about single essences, going past the maker's written descriptions into
specific experience of the essence. We like to include botanical information on the plant,
illustrations or photographs, and even flower lore. If you have such illustrations, let us
know. PHOTOGRAPHERS AND ARTISTS, WE NEED YOU, TOO!
CASE EXAMPLES: Not just the maker's descriptions, but what the issue was
beforehand, what remedies were used and why, and what the results were. Ethical practice
requires that you carefully disguise identities in such a public forum and, in most cases,
seek the permission of the client.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS OF THE ESSENCES: We welcome information on all kinds
of applications of the remedies, such as healing of emotional issues and past traumas, to
animals, children, body work, astrology, wellness, and groups. Again, the more specific
essences and uses you mention, the more helpful it will be to the reader.
BOOK EXCERPTS AND REVIEWS: Brief excerpts from books in print or in process
are welcome, with the approval of the publisher; reprints from other print media like
journals or web pages are also possible, with permission. If you would like a review a
book you've liked and feel the essence community should know about, contact us. In
either case -- excerpt or review -- we can provide a link so the reader can order the book
right then and there, on-line at a discount, from Amazon.com.
PANEL DISCUSSIONS: We expect to print discussions between experts on certain
topics, such as essences for body work, differing views on a single essence, and so on. If
you have ideas about or wish to participate in such discussions, let us know.
ESSENCE/DEVA STORIES: We have heard--and experienced--some delightful
tales about what happens when you tune into the devas and make an essence.
(Or, in many cases, what happens when the devas show up and say, "YOU are
selected to make this essence.) Sharpen your inner story-teller and share,
as vividly as you can, what happened when YOU were called and how you
learned what the essence was about.
DON'T STOP AT FLOWERS: While most essences are made from flowers, we would love to help readers expand their awareness and use of essences made from other sources, such as gems, environments, animals, light, etc.
BEYOND THAT, SURPRISE US! The essences are such a rich and varied support for all
of us and practitioners themselves are so creative and inventive in their usage, that we
couldn't begin to predict what will come our way. We don't really, however, need terribly
general articles on what the flower remedies are, since
we already have topics like these in our FAQ section.
We reserve the right to edit articles
for length, clarity, and relevance to a particular theme.
Before you write a whole new article, why not contact
us to see if we foresee needing something on that topic? We will need the final result in a
text file on diskette or by e-mail. It would be helpful to see drawings or photos as files on
a high-quality scanner first in .gif or .jpg format.
Please submit text in digital form only. This means please do not send us manuscripts on paper. If you are working on Windows, please email attached documents to Donna Cunningham. If you're on a Macintosh, send text in the body of an email message (preferably) or an attached document (second best) to Deborah Bier. Or snailmail a 3.5" floppy via snailmail to the address below.
Articles should be no more than 500 words. Should the piece be substantially longer, there is an option to run it in installments.
