Perelandra Soil-less Garden Forum
"Well, it's a lovely Saturday here. An excellent afternoon for us to spend time together talking about soil-less gardening. By the way, if I get questions about your hydroponic tomatoes I'll know you don't understand what a soil-less garden is. So, here's the simple definition: Anything (except plant life) that is defined, initiated and tended by humans. That would include businesses, classrooms, the arts, special projects, offices, homes, highway construction . . . A co-creative soil-less garden includes working with nature intelligence in partnership. So, bring those burning soil-less garden questions on because, once again, it's time to play "Let's Try To Stump Machaelle."
— Machaelle
Machaelle's Answer: Professional MAP has anything to do with the therapy. For example, a massage therapist would include the oils that are used, the kind of table that's used, the technique of the massage as it relates to individual clients, their ability to do the massage — that's all under Professional MAP. But if it's the actual structure of the business such as the money flow, the accounting, the location of the office, advertising — it's that external structure of the business that holds up the therapy that's the soil-less garden. If you have a question that falls in a gray area such as how to arrange the office, you can open either coning (Professional MAP or soil-less garden coning) and ask which coning should be used to address the gray area.

Terry Klunk's Question: So, you've done the DDP, you're going along, getting responses to your questions, feeling like you're on the right track, and everything goes awry, or feels like you're moving through mud. Any suggestions?
Machaelle's Answer: Yeah! The Nature Cards. That's one thing. At this point what you need is a hint to get out of being stuck. In this situation, you've lost the string of questioning. The other thing you can do is open the coning and tell the coning exactly what you've written here and say, "I need a hint to get out of this." And then close the coning, get on with your day and expect the hint to come from any direction.

Deb's Question: Does the desire of the garden enter into the working partnership? or is it simply the desire of the gardener?
Machaelle's Answer: A garden doesn't have desire. That's not something nature is involved in. The gardener's desire can either work for her or against her. So be careful about the desires that you're introducing in the garden. Read Co-Creative Science.

Sheila Roddy's Question: Why do I need a soil balancing kit to work in a soil-less garden?
Machaelle's Answer: Because nature said so. It's the mystery of the dynamic of what you're balancing. Nature is the one that's defining what's required for balancing. I've never asked this question of nature because I figure they know what they're doing. I just stand back and enjoy the "craziness."
5.
Michelle Ruzzo's Question: I have had all the information from Perelandra for working with Soil-less Gardens for a long time, but cannot seem to figure out the steps to begin in the proper order. Do I use the same coning as MAP/bringing Pan to the forefront or something different? HELP!
Machaelle's Answer: Do you have the video, Working with Nature in Soil-less Gardens? I really go through the coning set-up carefully in the video. Is there something in the video you don't understand that I can clarify?
6.
Linda's Question: Thank you for holding this Q&A session. As a newbie to this whole co-creative process, I get confused on which Deva's and which WB Dept to have in the coning for soil-less gardening. Is it ok to let the team decide once I clarify what I am working on or do I need to specify?
Machaelle's Answer: State "I'd like to open a coning for the following soil-less garden." Then be sure you very clearly define your soil-less garden (state your ddp). Then you can say, "I'd like to be connected to the appropriate devas for this soil-less garden." Then connect to Pan. And then state, "I'd like to be connected to the appropriate White Brotherhood members for this soil-less garden." And finally, your higher self. You're not defining who the devas and White Brotherhood are, you're calling for the appropriate ones to connect.
7.
Sheila's Question: Hello Machaelle, I have a dear friend who can not be here in the beginning, he will join us later. But I wanted to ask if you will be submitting this forum on line to revisit later?
Machaelle's Answer: This forum will continue to be available online.

Aurora's Question: I think it will be great to have a chart for soil-less gardens that is more suitable, I know that each soil-g is different, but the thing is that is difficult to follow that chart for gardens, it is mind twisting
Machaelle's Answer: Put together your own chart based on the one that's suggested.
9.
Barbara Barenburg's Question: When I open coning for my soil-less gardens, I connect to the "appropriate members of the WBH for the success of Project NAME." If am trouble shooting a subproject I may say "success of the subproject NAME in the Project NAME. " Would I be better off just saying ""the appropriate memeber of the WBH?" It occured to me that I may be limiting those who join the coning.
Machaelle's Answer: Inserting the word "success" is not only limiting those who are a part of the coning, it's also limiting your entire soil-less garden based on your definition of the word success. And to do that is controlling the soil-less garden. You may need to consider the fear you have around just letting go and allowing nature to give you your success.
10.
Madeline T's Question: I am a new Reiki Master Teacher working with Infinite Spirit and guides and these days I am creating zero cash flow, more CC debt and abundant spiritual wealth. How could I phrase questions more clearly to the Universe to receive financial abundance as well?
Machaelle's Answer: I don't work in the way that you're working. So the only thing that I can suggest to you is that you set up a soil-less garden for your business exactly the way I have laid out in the video and books. Perhaps if you phrased questions as if you were talking to a friend sitting next to you rather than projecting them out to the universe, you'll word them more clearly. And, I find through experience, that the integrity and success of how a business operates automatically includes financial "abundance." Financial "abundance" is a byproduct of that success and not the goal of the business.
11.
Sheila's Question: In regards to Terry's question #2, could a Calibration coning take place to help her get back on track?
Machaelle's Answer: Excellent suggestion. Glad you're here. Yes.
12.
Lea's Question: I read Behaving and was enthralled so ordered just about everything. Am overwhelmed about the proper sequential learning and wondering what to focus on next?
Machaelle's Answer: Call our Question Line on Wednesday, they'll help you.

Susan Chruszcz's Question: Hi Machaelle. We live directly below the Romping Rhinos, who are noisy, and, at times scarey to be near. It sounds like violence some nights. These are inconsiderate people who were hostile to my husband when he approached them nicely. we've finally, after years of this, got superintendents and a bldg mgr who seem interested in getting rid of the tenants upstairs. So I've registered complaints to them, as they have requested, and balanced the apt. My Q: For a CCTP/Apt would I say I want to get rid ot the upstairs neighbors? At this point, they've been issued a time-limited warning, so any infraction will net an eviction. How can I inspire them to act up again in a timely fashion? I can get permission to balance further than my apt from super, if needed, but I tested to just stick to my own apt for now. Thanks
Machaelle's Answer: Sue Chruszcz I can't believe you're aiming to be this manipulative! you've already got your answer — "continue working with the balance of your own apartment" and that will encourage your neighbors to either calm down or leave. Just focus on your own space. Or move.
14.
Cynthia's Question: Basic question: How exactly are the Soil-less and Soil ETS applied during the balancing and stabilizing processes on, say, an energy cleanse? In lieu of balancers and stabilizers? If they are in addition, then are they tested before or after the balancers and stabilizers.
Separately, in soil-less garden testing when Order, Organization, LIfe Vitality have tested individually for Soil-less ETS; do we test Soil ETS for each of the three or can we have one Soil ETS for the whole lot? Thanks!
Machaelle's Answer: Question 1 – Test the ETS Plus(es) in addition to the balancers and stabilizers. After you've tested from the Balancing Kit, ask, "Is ETS Plus for Soil-less Gardens needed as a balancer?" If yes, test for number of drops. Then ask if ETS Plus for Soil is needed as a balancer, and test number of drops if needed. If an ETS Plus tests positive, it will go in a different spoon than the regular balancers, but you will shift them all at the same time (you could be holding up three spoons at once). Approach the stabilizers in the same way.
Question 2 – No. it's important to follow the instructions for ETS Plus for Soil as they are given in the Soil ETS Plus brochure. There is a fine balance and rhythm that needs to be maintained.
15.
Sheila's Question: Could I respond to #8 Aurora's question in regards to "mind twisting"? I am a major Calibration fan, like no other. I have seen magic and miracles happen in my life after applying a Calibration with Pan to help me "understand", accept, allow and become clear with. So when I hear any question regarding "Mind" or "Emotions" that's where I would take it.
Machaelle's Answer: Hey – another good suggestion. You're really into that Calibration out there! I would suggest doing the Calibration first and explain that she plans to modify the chart so that it will more clearly reflect her soil-less garden and that she wants the understanding for that. Then come out of the coning and open the soil-less garden coning to modify the chart.
16.
Sheila Roddy's Question: Nature said so is good enough for me. So, I use the soil balancing kit when working on the foundation of the soil-less garden?
Machaelle's Answer: When working on any part of the soil-less garden. Use it whenever you test that you need to use it.
17.
Rita's Question: Can we "die the body" differently through guidance received through Soil-less Garden inquiries or through MAP inquiries? (Though I could ask the Devic Level, the forum might like your reflection.)
Machaelle's Answer: I don't understand your question at all. I don't understand the term "die the body." Please re-word this and re-submit.
18.
Ruthann's Question: How can I work in all the soilless gardens in my life? Is this the overall life group focus with miniature parts like I do in my garden garden? Working within the conings for priority etc. Maybe I am making this harder then it is by doing the zoom in zoom out focus. Any suggestions?
Machaelle's Answer: Are you wondering which one to start with? Because that's just a choice on your part. Note – I am emphasizing the word one. I think you are making it harder than it is. But just one, whichever one strikes your fancy. If I didn't answer everything you need, please try again.
19.
Aurora's Question: In connection question # 2 & 8, calibration is where I get stuck, I don't get any insight, and therefore no resolution, so I never know what to do next, become frustrated and sadly abandon the soil-less project...
Machaelle's Answer: Try the Nature Cards. You're getting in your own way.
20.
Susan Chruszcz's Question: You're right, it's not in my nature to be manipulative. I've been balancing my own apt for years. However, with my health problems, and the addition of my not-so-low-maintenance hubby 4 years ago, and the influx of all our stuff since we closed our off-site storage unit, our apartment is crowded and stuffed. I'm working really hard to try to make this place a decent home, but hubby lags behind a bit, and the acute cycles of illness and other life curves make it so that we're continuously dealing with one crisis or another. I have been working with MAP and SLG conings to bring ease into our lifestyle, and I'm seeing what to move and where, but for the moment, it's quite the mess. Always some destruction before the construction project gets done. Any other clues?
Machaelle's Answer: You might want to ask your MAP team to help you understand why you like living in chaos and keep attracting that to your life.
Ann Brownrigg's Question: I have not yet used the Soil-less Garden, but an wondering if it is right and proper to work with Nature and Humanity for the letting go of old patterns of war and hatred? so they may replaced with new patterns of right-relationship and Brotherhood?
Machaelle's Answer: I wrote this book called The Mount Shasta Mission that can give you suggestions on how to turn these feelings around for yourself and participate in turning them around in the larger picture. What you're suggesting isn't a soil-less garden unless you come up with a specific project that relates to the area you're interested in.
22.
Susie Wasserman's Question: Finally, is correct order writing DDP, opening coning to establish connection to appropriate devas, WB members, and then to get calibrated to the DDP?
Machaelle's Answer: Yes, that order is fine. Don't forget Pan and your higher self in the coning.
23.
Vicki Behrends's Question: Hi again, I'm adding in the previous question (because I couldn't fit it in--I've worked with Personal MAP for over three years, Professional map for a year and a half--have had unbelievable life changes since I've started--change in profession, personal growth, leading me to completely different avenues (I did ask in my first DDP for as much evolution as possible in the life time remaining--I haven't been disappointed). Will that help in developing more than two, or even one Soiless garden ? Thanks, VB
Machaelle's Answer: I'm glad this is working so well for you! This is the first submission we've gotten from you today. We're having difficulty with your question – could you re-word and re-submit?
24.
Paula Davis's Question: Once you have tested yourself for essences, opened the coning, stablized & balanced the coning, stated your DDP, do you calibrate yourself to the project? (I am trying to create my chart to follow.) Would you insert the processes for "PF" after "General Bal"? Thank you Paula - Texas
Machaelle's Answer: Yes, that's the right order to begin. And after doing the Calibration you can use the Troubleshooting Chart to address the general balance of your project framework. (If that's not what you're asking, please try again.)
25.
Ruthann's Question: I worked with a soiless garden, my counseling practice, for a number of years. Out of that I saw the benefit of working with Nature in every garden. Sometimes, like now, I get ahead of myself by thinking about the big all life gardens instead of working with the processes to clarify and act. How do you keep track of the pieces?
Machaelle's Answer: Get a notebook and dividers, and each soil-less garden has its own section. Everything you ask, all the information that you get, all the testing that you do, is recorded and dated and in the notebook.
26.
Kate's Question: I pre-ordered the Soil-Less Gardens DVD and am waiting for it to arrive. Is there anything in your books or papers that will give me the instructions on setting up a session?
Machaelle's Answer: Right now we're working hard to get this thing transfered over to DVD. Production was a little trickier than we had originally thought. We appreciate your patience. (There might be a few half-price videos left, though!) The coning instructions are in Appendix A in the third edition of MAP. Call the Question Hot Line on Wednesday and they'll help you get started.
27.
Cynthia's Question: This is regarding energy cleansing and other processes for a business location. It is not convenient for the business to have me there to clean during business hours and not convenient for me to work outside of business hours (before 6am or after 8pm). What are the guidelines for working remotely? Can I go there, open a coning and go elsewhere to do the actual work? Thanks.
Machaelle's Answer: As long as you have permission and an accurate line drawing of what you're cleansing, you can do the Energy Cleansing from home. I would choose times when nobody is in the building because some people can feel the Energy Cleansing sheet go through them and it freaks them out (even though it's perfectly safe).
28.
Vicki Behrends's Question: OK, to save you time, I read the "ONE" in Ruthann's answer and that answers my question, though any thoughts that you have would be wonderful--can you do an overlap of a second garden as things get going? Thank you again, VB
Machaelle's Answer: Yes, you can work with more than one garden. But you need to keep your wits about you and only activate as many gardens as are comfortable and that you can maintain properly.
29.
Heidi MB's Question: When I use the ETS balancing solutions, impossible-to-schedule people appear at events when I need them. Obviously they retain their free will. Do you think the balancing impacts their free will by changing the environment so that they make a choice that is aligned with the project?
Machaelle's Answer: Interesting question! It is not impacting their free will in a manipulative way. It's changing the environment so that they feel comfortable to freely schedule themselves to get there on time. It's assisting their ability to arrive at an event and not manipulating them to arrive at the event. They're being drawn to the balance.
30.
Louisa Dyer's Question: I have a soil-less garden for my work, with DDP which includes counseling, writing, teaching, recordings and ceremonies. When I am counseling I work with a Professional MAP team coning, is it wise/appropriate to also call in the Deva of my Garden, or the deva of counseling, when counseling?
Machaelle's Answer: You work with Professional MAP when you are actually doing any health therapy, or getting information about health therapy. You work in the soil-less garden coning for your writing, teaching, recordings and ceremonies, plus when addressing the supportive structure of those activities. Just to be clear — when you are counseling, you are working with your Professional MAP team (You're working with the Deva of Healing and that covers counseling).
Louisa's Question: I don't understand how to transpose all the detailed steps in the garden info to a soil-less garden, so generally I just work with the DDP and the troubleshooting sheet-- asking lots of questions based on what's up at the moment or more generally what would be helpful overall to facilitate the DDP. Any specific suggestions for how to expand what I'm doing?
Machaelle's Answer: No, I think you're doing fine. The fact that you ask questions as they come up mean you're covering all of the areas that need to be addressed. Go for it Louisa!
32.
Vicki Behrends's Question: Last question: Can you do a Soiless Garden in tandem with another person--with their agreement and interest and DDP? (family member, client, friend, pet) Thanks very much, VB
Machaelle's Answer: Yes, but to keep the arguments down, only one person should be responsible for the testing. Two people coming up with different ideas on what to question is fine. Since a soil-less garden is defined, initiated and maintained by humans, then those working in tandem with you should be human. The nature element of the soil-less garden coning covers the information that an animal or pet can provide.
33.
Caz's Question: Hi Machaelle - I have just read Q#23 - When someone asks for as much evolution as possible - what does that mean...I can't even write a simple DDP let alone anything else! Am I missing a trick here?
Machaelle's Answer: No, you keep doing what you're doing. You're not missing a trick. Personally, I would not specifically request as much evolution as possible because I think it means a major headache.
34.
Louisa's Question: Please please please do a soil-less garden workbook, with examples for a project and a business, and whatever else most folks use this for-- it is an incredible tool and I'd like to know I'm covering all the bases.
Machaelle's Answer: Louisa, I hear your pain. I've got a Workbook on this topic in line to be done. But I don't just pull them out of my ass. They take time. There are a number of projects ahead of this. And you're just going to have to utilize the tools and the help we have now.
And just in case anybody wants to start calling us every week and asking when I'm going to do this, my policy is that for each question, I delay working on the book by one month. So I suggest all of you not annoy me if you really want this book.
35.
Susie Wasserman's Question: Bit confused - could you briefly list either resources to clarify or give feedback on when and what balancers, stabalizers, and solutions are to be used?
Machaelle's Answer: They're used with the processes in the Garden Workbooks and the MBP Manual. The ETS Pluses have brochures that explain how to use them. If this doesn't work for you, call the Question Hot Line on Wednesday.
36.
Terry Klunk's Question: What do you do when the responses you've gotten have are seemingly wrong - I mean you are told something will happen, or is happening, and it's not?
Machaelle's Answer: You're asking the wrong questions. You're trying to get a prediction. Predictions only work when 6 and a half billion people do precisely what they were doing at the time that you asked for the prediction. And obviously, in a world filled with free will, that's not going to happen. You need to concentrate your questions on what you can act on and let the results fall in place in their right timing without you trying to manipulate it. I'm suspecting there's fear around trusting the process and you may need a Calibration around this.
37.
Nancy Oden's Question: I find it challenging to create a ddp that will be in balance with the whole of life. I mean, how does one really KNOW in the beginning what the ramifications will be, of creating that ddp? What guidelines do you suggest in getting clear with nature that what you are setting up will be for the good of the whole?
Machaelle's Answer: Okay. You figured out that writing a ddp can be challenging! Here's the point of the partnership. You define, direct and give purpose to what you want to do, and nature will take that information and provide the matter, means and action in balance. Nature automatically balances it. Now, if you end up with something other that what you had wanted, you probably need to go back and rewrite your ddp. And if you forget your role in this, and also try to define the matter, means and action for achieving your ddp, you probably will experience imbalance in your project. So there are 2 things that you're looking at — One is to stay out of nature's way in the partnership. Don't do nature's job. The other is to understand that your development as a person of free will, will be constantly challenged and questioned according to whatever it is you're asking for. And you'll learn in time that sometimes what you're asking for is inappropriate. Nature is going to reflect back to you exactly what you ask for, in balance. It's your job to look at it and decide if what you ask for is a responsible thing. So when you're new to soil-less gardens, start small so that you can start your learning process without endangering the whole of your life.
38.
Gayatri's Question: Would you please give some examples of an Elemental Annex for a soil-less garden? I have used a potted plant in my office, and included the immediatly surrounding area. I wonder, however, is part of the business itself to be designated as such? Any other examples you could offer?
Machaelle's Answer: For a soil-less garden, you don't have to use a live plant for an elemental annex. An elemental annex is a gesture on your part to nature. So, it can be a picture on a wall (that doesn't doesn't need to be watered or dusted).
39.
Gayatri's Question: Regarding question #32 on doing a soiless garden in tandem with others, would you please give some info on doing conings with others? For example, when I do an energy cleanse of my soiless garden with others present, how/when do I include their higher selves when opening and closing the conings? And do I verbalize out loud what I am visualizing (ie, the sheet moving up, indicating where it is) during the process, so all can focus accordingly, or do it silently and let them just be energetic support?
Machaelle's Answer: Just open the coning and include just yourself, and go through the process out loud so everyone can focus accordingly along with you. They don't have to be in the coning.
40.
Aurora's Question: Ok, I don't know if this is right: open coning, bal & sta. test myself for ess. Enter ddp, calibrate to ddp, test if ETS for soiless and ETS for soil. Test the famous chart, #5 doesn't first 8 lines doesn't apply rigth? clean and battle, soil bala and sta, and atmosphere, do applay, test those?
Machaelle's Answer: On the Troubleshooting Chart, step 5 does apply to soil-less gardens. This is where you need to create your own list of things that apply to your specific project. For a soil-less garden, that could include cleaning, organizing, rearranging office furniture, purchasing new chairs, changing the lighting, getting the synthetic carpet out, changing your brochure, upgrading your telephone system. . . . Are you getting the idea?
41.
Peggy B's Question: RE developing and presenting workshops - is each a separate SLG even if presented at the same conference? Can I have a general SLG for "professional presntations"? Do I include the devas of the conference or just for my workshop garden - or ask to be connected with "appropriate" devas?
Machaelle's Answer: If your work is to develop and present workshops, that is the focus of your soil-less garden. Within that, you can develop and intents list with the attributes that you wish to reflect as a teacher or presenter. For each workshop, you would open the soil-less garden coning and activate that list (and you can add a couple of things to it if necessary to address the individual workshop). After activating the list, close the soil-less garden coning. The list remains activated throughout the workshop or conference, even if the workshop or conference includes more than one presentation. After the conference/workshop is concluded, you will reopen the coning and deactivate the intent list. Then close the coning again.
42.
Aurora's Question: continuation, the lines after atmospheric balancing, from flower essence foliar to insect relataing linesl, does it apply? calibration line again? geo too?, I'm sorry, but please tell me, it doesn't make sense the insect ones...
Machaelle's Answer:ALL of the energy processes apply.
43.
Gayatri's Question: I would love to see examples of other people's DDPs and charts they have come up with for their specific soiless gardens, and related descriptive information. Would it be possible to create a place on your website for these to be posted? Hearing of actual examples of how the information is translated into actual practice is very, very helpful to me.
Machaelle's Answer: See the blue text below.
Okay, this is what we'll do. (You are beating me down at the knees here!) I will post a generic soil-less garden troubleshooting chart on the web site that you can download sometime this coming week.
Also, if you would like to share examples of your ddps and how you translated the information for your specific soil-less garden, email this information to email@perelandra-ltd.com with the subject line "SLG Example." We'll post the helpful ddps on a page on our web site.
We will send out an announcement when this page and the troubleshooting chart are posted (and include a link on the home page). As we get new information from you, we'll keep updating the SLG Example page. (This is such a good idea, I realize I don't have to write the book. So, thanks!)
44.
Louisa's Question: LOL! Thanks Machaelle for having the soil-less workbook planned and I promise I won't hassle you about it - and I am THRILLED to know it is coming. Bless you again and again for all you are and all you have done! It has enhanced my life tremendously and I love sharing this body of work with others and seeing their lives improve as well.
Machaelle's Answer: Oops. You'll need to read the blue text above. But thanks for the really kind words. Brown-nosing is helpful!
45.
torourke's Question: I just recently signed on and so hoping I am not duplicating questions. This is sort of a clarification question. When doing a soil-less garden with my foundation DDP and within the foundation DDP I have several other sub-projects going on at the same time, Is it appropriate/good idea to complete DDPs for working more focused with each sub-projects?
Machaelle's Answer: It's always helpful to have that kind of clarity, even when you're working with sub-projects. You can even activate a sub-project ddp.
46.
Susie's Question: Questions must have gotten lost - 1. if partner who is part of garden is unavailable, can, with their permission, a coning meeting occur with me calling in their higher self 2. best setup for business garden with multiple divisions - will each division have own devas and WB members - and how do you open coning with wording to address divisions?
Machaelle's Answer: 1. No. It's just whoever is present at the time. 2. I can't answer this question. You have to ask the coning for your business if something special needs to be set up for different divisions. Sometimes the answer will be yes, sometimes the answer is no.
47.
Deb's Question: Thanks so much for Q&A 37! Could an example be that this forum is a Soil less garden and conings, and processes are taking place even as we view?
Machaelle's Answer: Of course this forum is a soil-less garden. Beyond that, I'm not sure what you're asking.
48.
Leslie Shankman's Question: I am working with a committee of 9 to bring a Symposium to town. Three of us understand the project as a soil-less garden and open conings--to state DDP, balance the project with ETS, report in, ask questions. Is this effective/kosher to do, with not all committe included? When the 3 not available, I open a coning to balance, etc. At this time, do I include the higher selves of the other 2 who are involved but not present?
Machaelle's Answer: In this situation, what's only appropriate to work with is your role with the committee. Each of the three of you working with nature would set up your own personal soil-less garden. The intent for each of you would be to support your individual role in the committee.
You never include the higher self of someone who is not physically present and consciously participating in the coning.
49.
Diane's Question: In the beginning of a project, I write my DDP and then with a coning, Calibrate the DDP to me. Where in the coning does the ETS plus for Soilless come in?
Machaelle's Answer: The ddp is officially activated after you've Calibrated to the ddp (Note: You are Calibrating to the ddp, rather than the other way around).
After that Calibration, you are officially open for business and then can test ETS Plus for Soil and ETS Plus for Soil-less Gardens.

Martin K.'s Question: Hello again Machaelle, When working together with a friend on a co-creative project, how do we organise the conings? We did DDP and Paper 13. I.e.: Can one of us open a coning with both our higher selves to work on an issue? (YES, before you hit me we both ARE present and agree HS to be included ). If one person needs to leave, can we just disconnect that persons HS and the other can continue to work? What if the person leaving is the person who said the open coning words at the beginning - can the other person keep the coning open to work and close the coning? Basically, what are the do's and don'ts with conings when we work on a project with another person who also is into CCS? Thank you please.
Machaelle's Answer: Here's your multiple person soil-less garden protocol — One of you takes the lead and opens the coning and includes the other person's higher self. If one of you needs to leave before you're finished, that person disconnects himself from the coning. The coning is still open with the person(s) left in the room and you can continue working. It doesn't matter which person opened the coning. As long as the coning population reflects the people who's butts are in the room at the time. The person who opens the coning is simply the spokesperson and not solely in control of the coning.

Kellan Christopher's Question: Hi Machaelle! Happy to pull you away from Solitaire! I'm wanting to understand the idea of taking FSBS and FSBS+ , at least in terms of Law of Attraction. (i.e. Anything you focus on is activated and/or expands.) I love the other MBP Solutions, and they are all intentionally about strengthening the body systems. Can you assist me to view the FSBS in a similar way that is not activating the energies of various flus?
Machaelle's Answer: When you take the Urinary Solution, it doesn't mean you're calling bladder infection to you. When you take FSBS and FSBS+, they are both strengthening Solutions and build your body should you be exposed. You are no more calling flu or a pandemic to you than you would be calling a bladder infection to you.

Helka's Question: Hi Machaelle, I'd appreciate getting your advice as to which MB solutions would be good for my sister, who has the ALS disease. She has lost most of her mobility in three years. She is open to taking MB solutions. Thank you! Thanks
Machaelle's Answer: Because of the nature of ALS, she's going to need Immune and Lymphatic, Endocrine, Muscular, Nervous, Respiratory and Urinary. Preferably twice daily.

Haumea's Question: Aloha Machaelle... When I started doing the MBP several years ago, I had a surprise new addition to my kit. I was told to relay it to you, but I never completed writing the letter to you (sorry!). There was such celebration when it came through....it was...Oxygen!!! Have you done any research including Oxygen yet? I started using the MAP process 14 years ago after a severe pesticide poisoning. I since went on to learn and use the other processes. I gotta say, your research, books, processes and products really rock! Mahalo nui!!! Thanx much!!!!
Machaelle's Answer: The MBP kit ingredients hold as they were originally developed. Apparently, your microbes needed you to breathe. Glad to hear you accommodated them. It really gets clunky when your microbes have to move around with those little oxygen tanks on their backs.
And I am glad that MAP and the other processes are serving you so well.

Tanuja's Question: Would you please let me know what of your products would be helpful for my mildly autistic son who is 11years old? Would MAP be helpful to him? Thank you for your answer.
Machaelle's Answer: Because of the nature of autism, I would recommend, on a twice daily basis, MBP Solutions for Immune and Lymphatic, Cell, Endocrine, Nervous and Respiratory. Also include a dose of ETS Plus any time he becomes especially stressed out. And definitely MAP would be helpful.

Tom's Question: In asking the pedulum, I received information that the Spanish were harsh to the Indians in this particular spot of New Mexico. Do I need to do the Geopathic Zone Balancing, which the coning called for, just to clear the energy of our apartment?

Dorrie Sanders's Question: : I have used the Post-Death Flower Essence Process now three times with family members.Each time toward the end of the 72 hour time period. The third time was very different. The opening was so immediate and powerful that I was startled.The energy was so strong that I was being lifted forward. It was such a beautiful feeling that I didn't want it to go away. Please Machaelle can you explain what was happening. Thank you for this experience with someone who was very dear to me.
Machaelle's Answer: That's the reason why it happened. It was an experience with someone who is very dear to you and you were open for this. The way the Post-Death Flower Essences Process is set up, you are always perfectly fine. You can relax with those things.

Susan Chruszcz's Question: : I triage my daily docket of Perelandra Processes, in effort to manage the complexity of my syndrome complex - CFS, FM, Asthma, Chem Sensitivity, Vertigo, Ear infection. When something acute comes up, eg an asthma attack, All bets are off in pursuit of a breath of air, and the regular scheduled work gets left. Then, I cycle through a round of each syndrom flaring up, severely. Any suggestions on how to better manage this mess? I'm also trying to have a wee bit of a life in between major illness attacks. Thanks for all you've done !
Machaelle's Answer: Susan, didn't this situation crop up about 10 years ago? Think about what you did to pull out of it then. But the one thing you may not be doing when all else falls apart and you're in a mess — take an ETS Plus bath nightly (1/4 cup ETS Plus in full bath, soak for 20 minutes, do not add any other bath ingredients such as bubble baths, salts, oils, etc.). Test for how many nights you are to do this. That really might help balance you and start moving you out. But don't give up the other processes you need to help in this, too. The ETS Plus bath just may make it simpler for you.

Barbara Simpson's Question: Thank you I have been working with your processes for many years. I am rereading Co Creative Science as I feel that I need to have a deeper understanding on this foundation. It is helpful for my clearer thinking when I talk with my 'science' friends. Thank you for this book - I forgot about it
Machaelle's Answer: Hey Barbara! Thanks for the kind words about this book. Glad to hear from you.

Lee's Question: having gotten excited about the sept 15 forum, then 30 min. later realizing i'll not be in reach of a computer that day, i'm hoping there will be more. Is the MB stuff sufficient for soil-less garden work, or does one need the flower ess, etc too ? And, how important is the balancing/testing ? I've only tried this once, i knew the coning was at an end when I left them to do some work and got seranaded with a selection from a broadway musical. But I didnt go thru all the test-this / test-that steps. scowl if you like.
Machaelle's Answer: Like today's forum, the Soil-less Garden Forum will be available to review online long after the forum has ended. Once you've reviewed the information, call the Question Line if you have any other questions.
I am scowling. But it's not because of your questions. I appreciate it when people can find the CAP key on their keyboard and use it consistently. It makes understanding what people write easier.

Colin Johnson's Question: I was wondering if you could compare the way homeopathic vs flower esscence remedies work, and/or how nature see's them function. Additionally, perhaps why nature chose to do flower essences rather than the other.
Machaelle's Answer: Flower essences balance, stabilize and repair the body's electrical system. I don't know how homeopathic remedies work because I don't work with them in my research. I don't know why nature chose to do flower essences. Nature works in mysterious ways!

K's Question: Hello Machaelle - Since I have several 'systems' out of balance at the same time, can I take different of the MBP's together or would you advise taking one for awhile - say the endocrine for awhile to get the body used to it and then moving on to the next MBP. A thank you to you and all the staff that provide such loving service to our planet.
Machaelle's Answer: I only recommend that you gradually introduce the MBP Solutions when you are first beginning to use them in order to get the body use to them. That usually takes about one to two months if you're working towards taking all the Solutions. After that, just take each of the Solutions that you need each day.

Judith's Question: A big, old douglas fir in our back yard has to come down. It's dying quickly, probably from beetles. It's been a giant in our back yard. What can we do to help with the transition and to restore order and peace to that corner of the back yard? There are many plants located nearby.
Machaelle's Answer: There's a process for working with nature to remove trees in the Garden Workbook, chapter 4, pages 56-57. Just follow those steps and you and your yard will be fine.
