Kit's Question: Ack! Fun-jEE or Fun-jEYE ?!?!?!?! Thank you Machaelle + crew!!!!! Have a great holiday...

Machaelle's Answer: Okay! That's Fun-jEYE!.
A great holiday back atcha and to everyone who participated in today's forum!     Machaelle

Martin's Question: Hello Machaelle, You did recently make some suggestions somewhere regarding this, but how can we be as effective as possible in all those not so obvious environments we are part off? E.g., what happens politically in our Town, economically in our country, in our world... get the drift??? Thank you so much!

Machaelle's Answer: Usually when someone asks me these kinds of questions, they actually mean, \"How can I sit on my sofa and project good thoughts that will bring perfection without having to lift a finger or get involved?\" And usually what I say is, \"Get your keister up off the sofa and get involved. In your town, and in your country, and in your world. Pick something and do it. And while You're at it, try to be co-creative. Get the drift?

Antje's Question: Hi, Have you got any suggestions on how to address a soil-less garden where the problems seem to be going round in circles (recurring) even though I do troubleshooting, etc. Thanks a lot!!!

Machaelle's Answer: This requires a conversation. I encourage you to call the Question Hot Line.

Cinda's Question: The impact of your research and essences on my life has been so significant the it almost seems insufficient to say that I am grateful. I am sooooooooo grateful. AND Having had the joy and rewards of working with Nature, I have wanted the benefits of that in all areas of my life. Though I recall that you suggested that we start with one small SLG project, I have wanted to have one going in so many areas of my life. However, this is overwhelming and I have not been so  disciplined in follow up with the SLGs that I have started. Any suggestions about beginning again and prioritizing? Is this a MAP with calibration issue?

Machaelle's Answer: You don't have to go to MAP with this. I already told you — stop overwhelming yourself. Make a list of all the different areas you want to address, pick the first one that you feel is the most important and make that your current SLG. Then either wait until this SLG is completed, or once it has been operating for a while and is running smoothly and you feel comfortable, open a second SLG. If You're doing more than three SLGs at one time, you need your head examined. If you are doing more than three SLGs simultaneously, You're probably half-assing each of them because of the work required for each of them.

Lee's Question: It seems as tho whenever I open an SLG coning prior to a meeting, hoping for support / inspiration / input of any sort - it always seems as tho I get no input. I guess I'm hoping for some sort of intuitive hit so as to avoid the \"Have you ever noticed Lee's strange hand twitches whenever we're in a meeting? - Yep, I've guessed it some sort of neurological problem\" kinds of observations. Any suggestions or should I just claim tourette's syndrome?

Machaelle's Answer: Generally, you don't get intuition before you start a meeting, you usually get it as the meeting is in progress, right in the moment. So my first suggestion to you is to relax and trust that this is going to happen. You're probably blocking yourself. I don't see any problem with claiming Tourette's Syndrome to help your coworkers get over it. Or, you could do what this woman who had a bunch of nosy neighbors did. She built a cave out of straw bales and whenever she had to do any testing for her garden, she went in there for privacy. And if they still look at you funny, just say You're from California. they'll just assume You're crazy and thatll be the end of it.

53.
Anneli's Question: One more question, as you are making yourself available these hours in such an appreciated way :o) : I received an email about the big Climate Conference in Denmark (our neighbors in Scandinavia). It was a call to engage on a \"higher level\" to support all the members of this conference emotionally/telepathically in our own ways. I did get those goose bumps that usually mean I sit in front of a truth of some kind, but I can't help but think about the time you describe people who tried to looove some health back into a plant. Would this kind of \"positive, mental/emotional/telepathical supportive focus\" be a waste of time, or will it actually do something that is good for the outcome of this climate conference, perhaps because we are addressing the humans and not nature specifically? We are asked to let this be for the higher good of all parties, so it will probably not hurt anyone or anything, at least :ob Please give your point of view, it is much appreciated!

Machaelle's Answer: Doing this kind of thing is very tricky. You cannot control or guarantee the quality of positive thinking from individuals. So it is erroneous to think that kind of activity will not manipulate or negatively impact the participants in the conference. On the one hand, there may be an inflow of positive, supportive energy and at the same time there may be an inflow of wonky, weird, skewed and stupid energy that will cause these people to have to work harder to achieve the goals of the climate conference. People think that if they say \"for the higher good\" that they are covering their asses and making everything perfect. This is nothing more than a band-aid to make people feel good about what they're asking. It has nothing to do with the actual input of energy. If You're not going to the conference as a participant, I think it's inappropriate to interject yourself even on an energetic level. Let the participants do their job and then work to support the outcome in practical and effective ways.

Anne's Question: Re: MBPs and middle of the night — in this case, pain pills. Sometimes I need to take a pain pill between night and morning dosages of MBPs and with less than 5 hrs between, sometimes just with water, sometimes with a bit of food. Does this nullify/severely weaken benefit of the MBP dosages?

Machaelle's Answer: If you can take your MBPs a little earlier in the evening to give you more time before you might have to take your pain pill, that would be good. Other than this, you really don't have a choice, so definitely do not back off the MBP dosages and know that you may not be getting 100% benefit, but you should be getting a considerable percentage of benefit. In this case, something is better than nothing. Hopefully in time, you won't have to take the pain medication.

Veronica's Question: Hi Machaelle. Would appreciate some direction with this ... I am a garden designer and have recently started to incorporate some of the co-creative energy and gardening processes in my work for clients. I submitted a planting plan which was designed with Nature, to a client, who has since returned with requests for changes to the plan, i.e., removing certain plants, adding others. Obviously this is going to effect the balance of the original plan. Do I go back to Nature and start the whole process again given the new information - and does this have to keep happening every time the client decides they want something different? Many thanks from sunny! New Zealand.

Machaelle's Answer: You probably do need to go back and adjust the original plan to re-establish balance in light of the changes. So that you don't lose your sanity, I would suggest talking to your clients who might be open to this co-creative process. Explain what you would be doing and what it would mean in terms of layout/design/plants and get their permission for you to do this. Emphasize the value of balance for them. And explain that this would be a little bit of an adventure because the final product may be different than their vision. Then get a list of the plants that they absolutely want and any design elements that they absolutely want. Present those to nature and then you work with nature to balance all of that in. In essence, You're offering a special service to them. Wow, sunny New Zealand! Hope You're having a great summer!

Marian's Question: If it is ok with you to submit a second question, here it is: What can I do about chronic sleep disturbances (this insomnia includes difficulty in going to sleep, waking say after two hours for another two hours, and then waking early)?

Machaelle's Answer: This is where \"everybody's different\" especially comes into play. Try taking an ETS Plus for Humans bath one night, and a couple of nights later, take an EoP bath and see which one gives you the best results. See if this helps!

49.
Lee's Question: For a dog diagnosed with deteriorating covering on the nerves ( this is not a trauma per se but a continuing/developing condition ) is ETS+ for Animals the place to start? For whatever might be suggested, is there a time frame within which one should be able to observe improvement?

Machaelle's Answer: ETS Plus for Animals is a good place to start, but what you really need to work with is the Nature Healing Coning for Animals. I do look for signs of improvement and report those improvements back to the Nature Healing Coning, and I also report distress and deterioration to the coning. But I stay away from time frames. There are too many variables to take into consideration for every second of the day for this to be reasonable. Hope this helps.

Peggy's Question: Hi Machaelle I appreciate You're offering another open house and offering this question forum. My question relates to mountain top removal of coal. I feel deep grief when I pass by MT removal sites and do my best to send healing energy to the land. Are there Perelandra processes that I can do (even though the removal sites do not \"belong\" to me)? There is a lot of logging going on in my area and I have similar feelings when I am behind a logging truck.

Machaelle's Answer: In this situation, when you are unable to have a direct effect on situations like mountain top removal and logging, the most effective thing you can do is refocus on your feelings and how You're responding. Concentrate on balancing yourself in these situations, remaining calm and clear. This alone will release healing energy. You don't have to do anything special. And you can stop being a victim to those things that are going on around you over which you have no control. This is the kind of situation you would take to MAP.

Susan's Question: Hi Machaelle, we're been dealing with my husband's unemployment for a year and a half. There are many issues to address in addition to the obvious. I could write a book. we've used the entire gamut of Perelandra products and processes. I've asked the teams to know what to do, to see what is needed, and have been given clarity at the most stressful of times. you've said to use a daily dose of ETS+ for the economic crisis. we've done that and expanded on the concept by taking daily doses of ETS+ or EoP or FE for several specific issues each, e.g., overwhelm, depression, career, ADD symptoms, all tested for priority with our MAP and SLG teams. This has us addressing a lot of issues daily and reduces the overall workload. Thanks so much for this marvelous tool kit. P.S. it's sunny and clear and fresh in Southern Ontario.

Machaelle's Answer: I really congratulate you on your fine use of the tools to help you get through this. And it will be interesting to see what job your husband finally gets to take on. I have a feeling after this process, his job is going to be a surprise to the two of you.
P.S. For once we're getting the rocky weather, and You're getting the clear and fresh weather — that's great!

Esther's Question: Dr. Bach was adamant that practitioners using his system not use muscle testing when choosing remedies. His theory was that if you get to the core issue too quickly you may throw the whole system into a state of shock. Rather, he suggested that it is better to \"peel the onion,\" — treat the surface layer, let it resolve and then treat the layer that shows up after the initial resolution and so on. In this way, you get a very gentle healing process without the risk of worsening symptoms. I'm studying with the International Bach Foundation at the moment and one of the requirements of registration with the foundation is an agreement to refrain from muscle testing. I'm curious about your response to Bach's theory. Cheers and thanks.

Machaelle's Answer: What's interesting in this is that if you read the very early works by Dr. Bach, when he describes using essences, he would get a tingle in the back of his neck for a positive essence and that's a form of muscle testing. I agree with the foundation that the \"onion process\" is a good approach and we have our own peeling process that we encourage people to use. However, it is not always needed. All electrical issues are not caused always by onions. I am assuming that if you must refrain from muscle testing you are diagnosing according to definition and although I am a strong supporter of Dr. Bach and his work, regarding the testing is where I separate myself from the foundation. I believe muscle testing is superior to definitions because definitions require that the person doing the testing understand the definitions fully and completely, and the person that is being tested know how to describe their issues fully and completely. This lends itself to too many holes and human error. I don't wish to come between you and the Bach Foundation, but you've asked for my response and I've given it to you.

Divana's Question: thanx for another great virtual open house. I have been using MAP since Feb 09 and the Rose Essences since July. I am on the blood type-O diet since summer I have severe joint-knee/hip pain, difficulty walking and as I call it -an electrical grid of piercing pain running from my knee into my ankle and foot on one side: 2 years with it along with sciatica. I use the microbial solutions-lymphatic and immune-would another MPB solution be helpful with this condition-or any other suggestions?

Machaelle's Answer: Yes, another four would be helpful — muscular, nervous, skeletal and endocrine. All taken twice daily. And if anyone ever sounded like they could use frequent and regular ETS Plus baths, I think it's you. On the blood-type diet (hey, nice to meet a fellow type O!), you need to concentrate on highly beneficial foods. Because you have such a serious situation going, you may consider expanding to include the other four essence sets if you can.

44.
Linda's Question: Thank you truly. My question is about the seedling 'tubs seen in the greenhouse on your website. Would like to know where to purchase them and how are the seedlings then transplanted into the garden.

Machaelle's Answer: Linda, I'm sending this question on to Jeannette. She's the one who runs the greenhouse. You'll be getting an email in the next few days. . . . We hope. That is, unless she's restoring an old farmhouse in the south of France.

Helen's Question: In the book The Explorer Race by Zoosh through Robert Shapiro, it says that much of the White Brotherhood's knowledge is rooted within a core of a prediction for the future based on an evolution of this planet and its culture that was aligned and associated with a past probability. That is, it is not aligned with the future that you have begun to develop as a collective soul unconscious, which will take you to that fourth-dimensional aspect of self. If this is true then when working with the White Brotherhood on our 3rd dimensional reality, who will we work with when we have all made our transition onto the 4th?

Machaelles Answer: Oh, this is easy . . . Henry IV! Seriously, dear Helen, I havent a clue what You're talking about. But more importantly, I actually don't have an interest in this kind of information. So I'm afraid You're going to have to go elsewhere with this question. Actually, I don't even understand what You're asking. But I'm thinking Henry IV might be the one you need to go to! But if that doesn't work, he's got a brother, Gregory IV. And if that doesn't work, try Alf VI!

42.
Douglas S.'s Question: A guy question. I never seem to hear much about Clarence. Wonder if he's ever thought about writing a book about what it's like to live with a hyper expanded scientist and thinking back about his seminary days if religious interests have resurfaced with becoming chronologically gifted/challenged?

Machaelle's Answer: Oh good, I was wondering if there was a guy out there. it's hard to get Clarence to write a postcard, so the chances of him writing a book are going to be really slim. And what the hell do you mean living with a \"hyper-expanded scientist\"?! it's wonderful!! :) I think I can honestly say for him that with age, the old seminary / Catholic religious interests have not resurfaced. I'll let him know you asked about him.

41.
Helen's Question: I am new to all this and have been just ingesting information you have put out as if there was no tomorrow. For health issues and concerns, do we need to do MAP and/or MBP? Why can't we just hold and test for the essences we need and just drop them on our tongue?

Machaelle's Answer: Glad to hear that Perelandra is helpful for you. One warning I give to new people is don't over-do it. You'll overwhelm yourself. For health issues and concerns, it's not a matter of what you NEED to do, but rather what piques your interest. That generally gives you your best starting point. As for that last question, I don't understand what You're asking. So I am suggesting to you (as I have been with so many today) that you call the Question Line and ask them this question. It looks like it needs more of a conversation than I can give in this forum.

40.
Karen's Question: Do you have anyone that does consultations? I need to discuss the baltic ivy situation in my yard (my mistake to have planted). My yard is a wildlife sanctuary and God willing I would like it not to destroy all the other vegetation incl. trees.

Machaelle's Answer: Yes. This one's easy. Just call the Question Hot Line any Wednesday!

39.
Deborah's Question: I am an enthused newbie, and loving your stuff, and recommending it to friends. Can I use the coning process to resolve family conflict and do I call in the higher self of other family parties or just my higher self? Thanks, Deborah

Machaelle's Answer: Ooh, You're stepping in some deep doo-doo here Deborah. When it comes to family conflict, just focus on how you play into it, with the goal of making any necessary changes. To include other family members is manipulation and unethical. I'm glad you asked this question before you went any further. If you need help, clarification and ideas on how to set up the focus for yourself, don't hesitate to call the Question Hot Line.

38.
Eva's Question: 1. Do I need to think about the specific body systems when I take my regular morning/evening doses of the MBP solutions? 2. In an MBP chart when doing an NS application for the microbes that needs to be done over a period of time, do I need to open the entire coning each time or is it sufficient to state, _x001C_I wish to open an NS application_x001D_ and then focus on the issue and the microbes? I have tested that the latter is sufficient although I have done both versions. Thank you for the clarifications.

Machaelle's Answer: 1. No. 2. For your stronger, best results, open the full coning. But it sounds like You're doing really well with the Microbial Balancing Program!

37.
Shirley's Question: I go regularly to a nutritionist who kinesiology tests for food allergies, supplements, dosage, and any question at all. I had my essences and MBP Solutions with me and he asked to test them. Several tested negative. MAP says I am to respect the test results and that it is temporary. Is MAP my final authority on this?

Machaelle's Answer: Your final authority is whosever you wish it to be. :) In your situation, I would accept MAP as my final authority.

36.
Gerriiana K.'s Question: Dear Machaelle, Thanks so much for this great open house. On September 1st, I had a complete hip replacement. It has been a long and difficult recovery. I was in the hospital and the rehab hospital for 15 days and now have home nursing and PT. I have been using the ETS Plus from the beginning but could not use the MBPs until I came home. I finally had presence of mind enough to realize I also needed to get back on the essences including the EOP. It seems like my recovery is better since I got on the essences but I am wondering if you may have other suggestions that may be helpful? Thanks, Gerriiana Koeniger

Machaelle's Answer: So far, You're doing good thinking as far as the Perelandra material and how it can help. I would say, take this to the next step and add flower essence telegraph testing with the focus on your back surgery area. Take 2 or 3 doses of ETS Plus after each PT session. And regular, frequent ETS Plus baths might be helpful. If you need some further help or clarification on this, don't hesitate to call the Question Hot Line.
Glad You're enjoying this Virtual Open House.

35.
Malika's Question: Hello there, that is the first time that I am using the virtual house so hope to do well! Have a question, Have been using Essence of Perelandra for a while and I would like to know what a telegraph testing within a telegraph is and how to get about doing it when I use EOP — thanks for responding to my question. Malika

Machaelle's Answer: Okay, I'm a little lost on what You're referring to, so I'm going to ask you to either call Jeannette on the Question Hot Line before 5 p.m., eastern, today (unless she's left to visit that rural farmhouse in France!) or call on any Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (eastern).

34.
Meredith S.'s Question: Machaelle, thank you for your wonderful work!! I have a challenge w/consistency. Do I need to do a MAP CALIBRATION to work w/that?

Machaelle's Answer: That would certainly help. But it's probably going to take more than a one-time shot, so good luck with that consistency thing! Call the Question Hot Line if you run into a wall or get cornered.

33.
Adriana's Question: Thank you soooooo much for the EOP and ETS. I use them often and share them with other nurses in the labor and delivery department. They are happy to use it as well.

Machaelle's Answer: Cool! You're sooooo very welcome. I'm pleased that you are sharing the information in this way.

32.
Mary S.'s Question: My Perelandra Study Group has done a few heal the ocean processes, using ocean water as our focus. Someone suggested including tap water, representing fresh water. The input from the ocean, when it was asked, is that it is mixing apples and oranges and should be done as a separate process. Do you have any input on this matter? Thank you.

Machaelle's Answer: Unless you have a well with untreated water, do not use tap water to represent fresh water. My suggestion is that your study group consider changing the focus of their work from the ocean in general to what each of them do in their lives that exacerbates the ocean problems. This group refocus would be more effective as far as the ocean is concerned. Or, as a group you could take up the cause of land-applied sewage sludge and its impact on our freshwater supply and the oceans.

31.
Anneli's Question: Hi, thank you so much for this extra open house! I am wondering whether it is considered manipulation of nature intelligence if I clearly tell them that I use affirmations solely for my own mind direction training? As in \"I receive plenty of support in appropriate ways for this project\" and similar (otherwise I almost automatically get caught in a negative expectation mood. Subtle but still there.) It is absolutely not meant as any kind of direct \"order to manifest\" anything for me, which I also tell them. (I ask nature to - if and whenever applicable in a coning - use my affirmations as guidelines to \"where I am going\" right now instead.) Will this difference be noticed by nature? I really have a big need to change my attitude towards life in general (victim and guilt oriented), and I wish to adjust it anytime during the day - if it is OK and not manipulative towards nature. I work with my MAP team in this matter, too. Thank you for being who you are!

Machaelle's Answer: Remove all of the affirmation stuff out of your coning work with nature. This will clean up your coning. Then take your desire to change your attitude toward life in general to MAP. Focus the issue with your MAP team solely.

30.
Barbara's Question: Hello! We live in rural France and are renovating an old farmhouse. We are in the beginnings of considering the whole project as a Soil-less Garden, and recently had you send us the ETS. But my concern for the next few years is the chestnut groves: they are old and beautiful, but many (all over the Cevennes region) are dying of a fungus. Where to begin? Thank you!

Machaelle's Answer: First of all, hold on a second while I back away from the computer, find Jeannette and tie her to a chair so she doesn't jump up and run over to rural France and help you renovate your old farmhouse because you've just described her dream come true!
For the chestnut groves, You're going to have to work with the Perelandra Garden Workbook and especially the troubleshooting process to get the individualized approach for your trees in your region (your property). I'm suspecting you will especially need ETS Plus for Plants and ETS Plus for Soil. But I urge you to work with the full troubleshooting chart for this kind of a problem.

Fern's Question: I have a painfully dysfunctional relationship with my father. Tried for decades to heal it, without success. I'd like cordial contact with him; failing that, to be at peace with the fact that he wishes no contact with me. He's 80, I'm 55. My mother and only sibling are both long dead. I greatly admire your strength in dealing with your paternal relationship; so far, it has turned out very differently for me and I want to change that, follow your example, gain strength from the life challenges he has provided rather than be defeated by them. Is it kosher to set up a SLG with a DDP of I want to have a cordial relationship with my father ? Or is that unethical, because it involves him changing too? Should I instead say I wish to be at peace with the fact that my father does not love meSorry to b. e so unfestive, but this is greatly on my mind at this time of year. And thank you.

Machaelle's Answer: You can open an SLG with the DDP as you first stated. I want to point out that your wanting to have a cordial relationship with your father does not necessarily involve changing him too. It involves changing you. Also, you might want to change your DDP to, \"I want to have the appropriate relationship with my father.\" Your appropriate relationship with him may be something other than cordial and You're not leaving yourself open to that possibility. For example, it may mean letting go. Also, you can get insight into your issues around this using MAP, the combined MAP/Calibration or just the Ca
