And in between the open passage, though marked with a “No Trespassing” sign.
We connect with the Earth and the Universe as well as with all present forms of energy and beings. Then we connect to the Älggi alp as well as to all the places that we have already visited in the context of this project. At each connection step, the energy becomes more powerful. Lastly, we draw the energy from the Älggi alp to this point, to the western border. We let the energy flow for a while and then put the two small vials with D52 or D1-51 in a hole in front of the altar. There are also five stones from St. Peter'sIsland
symbolizing the five elements. We place the
two stones of the Älggi alp on the left and on the right of the hole, leaning
against the tree stump and about half-buried in the ground. The decorated bark is left at the top of the
altar because it feels just right so.
We walk back to our cars. Due to the wet and cold weather, we change the original program and drive toLake Neuchâtel South Tyrol .
The next limit point is definitely not
as easy to reach as today's!
Geomancy Open Group L’Auberson (VD) 25.08.2018
Introduction
In our December 2017 (https://holistic-coaching-dedonato.blogspot.com/2017/12/geomancy-open-group-report-20th-21st.html) and July 2018 (https://holistic-coaching-dedonato.blogspot.com/2018/07/open-geomancy-group-morobbia-valley-ti.html)
articles we had the chance to give a look at the amazing work of a Geomantic Open
Group whose members periodically meets in Switzerland and participate in
excursions in the alpine region. Through
their rituals, they try to purify and heal the Earth from the negative or even
just stagnant energies so that Chi/Qi or Cosmic Energy may freely flow again as
it is supposed to. No need to say that
having a healthy environment rich of positive energy is greatly beneficial to
the health of all living beings along with all that is.
As we have mentioned in the past,
during the ritual some remedies/essences are used. In this article, therefore, we will start by
clarifying a few aspects and terms of the procedure not everyone might be
familiar with.
As we have probably read in our
previous reports, during each ritual, some natural, highly diluted and
potentized (“dynamized” in Homeopathy) solutions were used. These solutions are natural remedies that
both Herbalism and Homeopathy employ.
Although many people might erroneously believe that these two holistic
methods are the same, this happens not
to be the case. However, and for the
time being, rather than dwelling on the explanation about all similarities and
all differences that characterize each of them, we will be focusing only on a
few aspects, that is, on the concepts of dilution and potentization (or
dynamization) which are, in fact, common to both of them.
We want to start by saying that
as holistic methodologies, both Homeopathy and Herbalism are based on the
theory of vitalism, that is, the
understanding and belief that all living beings are animated by a vital
principle, also called Life Force, which is basically the very energy that
keeps all living beings ‘alive.’ Since
it is the quantity, the quality and the state of the Life Force present in any
living being at any given time that determines the state of health, as well as
the possibility of maintaining and/or restoring it, all herbal and homeopathic
remedies are intended to help the Life Force to stay as healthy as
possible. Since the Life Force is
energy, hence something that vibrates at a much higher frequency than
everything that is material, thus including our bodies, through the process of
dilution (or high dilution) and potentization/dynamization the remedies, from
whatever source, are highly diluted (in homeopathy, for instance, this might be
performed by using 90% alcohol and 10% water) and vigorously shaken at any step
of the dilution (in homeopathy, in case of soluble substances, this is also
known as “succussion”).
In so doing it is believed that
at each passage/dilution, followed by a consequent
dynamization/potentization/succession, each remedy gets energized due to the
fact that the medicinal properties contained in each natural substance in its
raw state become awakened and their consequent healing powers are
activated. This is also equal to say
that the more diluted, the stronger the remedy, hence the more powerful its
effect. Having said that, the dilution
D52 is much more powerful, hence effective, than D28, as well as a homeopathic
remedy labeled Ch 200 is much stronger than those labeled Ch 6, Ch 9, or even
Ch 30.
The selection of natural
resources and the consequent preparation of herbal and homeopathic remedies are
quite fascinating as well as complex and will most likely be the object of a
future article.
I hope you will enjoy the
following report and be intrigued by the wonderful connection that we all have
with Mother Nature and our breathtaking Planet.
Report
(written by Sandy
Stewart)
We meet again to work on our
project: our goal is to draw energy lines in all eight cardinal directions, starting
from the center of gravity of Switzerland Koblenz
Our meeting place is a parking
lot at the entrance of L'Auberson. The
participants are as follows: Petra Züger, Michael Walthert, Christoph
Luginbühl, Sandy Stewart, Ursula and Stephan Meyer, Andrea and Daniel Kormann,
Sonja Schreiber, Nadine Constantin and Nathalie Erard. From there we drive towards Col de L'Aiguillon
to a forest road branch, where we park. The
sky is gray, and it is raining. The
temperature drop is striking, and we are all happy about the warm jackets we
took with us. A short walk (about 300 m/984
ft) and we are already at the border between Switzerland France
Boundary wall to the south. Boundary
wall to the north.
And in between the open passage, though marked with a “No Trespassing” sign.
It is a beautiful forest with a
good energy – somewhat overgrown with many stumps, ferns and mushrooms. The trees must have been felled some time ago
because they are covered by dense moss. We
walk just a few steps along the border to the north and discover the perfect
place: about eight stumps of once mighty trees form a circle and, in the midst
of them, there is another tree stump resembling an altar. The energy here is fantastic. We can literally feel that these trees are not
dead at all, but rather linked to one another through their roots, which have
young trees in their midst and all communicate with each other. The wisdom of the age and the dynamism of the
youth it is shown here through a beautiful harmony.
It is still raining, but the
young trees form a roof with their leaves, which protects us to a large extent.
After looking at the place and feeling
[the energy], we prepare ourselves for the ritual.
Ritual
As always, valuable ideas flow in
from all participants, so that we end up with a powerful ritual. First, we set up all the utensils on the tree
stump altar: two butterfly candles, two stones from the Älggi alp and the
potentized healing water from the Älggi alp. We are already at D52 potency. Andrea Kormann has filled the D52 solution in
a small and in a large bottle. To
address multiple levels of consciousness, she has poured the unused portions of
D1-D51 into a small and a large bottle. In
addition, a piece of bark is added on
the altar, which we found on the way here and decorated with gifts of nature: a
stone, red and green leaves, a piece of wood, mushrooms and a pine cone. The whole thing is completed with lavender we
brought from home.
As a reminder to anyone who does
not remember or who is reading a report for the first time: Daniel Kormann
grinded a stone from the Älggi alp, which he had found together with Andrea
under the fir trees just below the symbolic center of gravity. Andrea added the powder to 40% alcohol and put
it in the sun. Then she energized the
first mixture. This means: 1 part of
stone mixture and 9 parts of 25% alcohol are poured into a bottle and shaken
well. The bottle is beaten 28 times on
the hand or on a cushion. That gives D1. Then 1 part of D1 and 9 parts of 25%
alcohol are mixed, shaken and beaten. That
gives D2. Andrea continued until she had
D52.
The tree stump altar and the
immediately adjacent tree form the anchor point. Today we are eleven persons, seven women and
four men. We form a circle and integrate
the tree as a twelfth living being. We
regard the tree as a female being and so there are always two women among the
four men. Christoph is once again in a
very good mood.
We connect with the Earth and the Universe as well as with all present forms of energy and beings. Then we connect to the Älggi alp as well as to all the places that we have already visited in the context of this project. At each connection step, the energy becomes more powerful. Lastly, we draw the energy from the Älggi alp to this point, to the western border. We let the energy flow for a while and then put the two small vials with D52 or D1-51 in a hole in front of the altar. There are also five stones from St. Peter's
We form a circle again. Subsequently, one person always leaves his
place, walking around the outside of the circle until she/he is standing
opposite the altar, so that she/he can walk from the front to the altar. As first step, we distribute the contents of
the large bottle with D52 at the anchorage point. In the second round, we repeat the same
procedure with the D1-D51 bottle, except that some of us leave the circle and
sprinkle the other tree stumps with the liquid. Petra and Christoph complete the ritual by
successively impregnating the anchor point with the quintessence drops Pallas
Athena (Beauty & Creativity) and Lady Nada (Love that knows no bounds). During the ritual, it stops raining, the sun
breaks through and a light breeze blows around us. Nature seems to thank us!
We say goodbye to this place and
thank all those who supported us during the ritual.
On the way back, Ursula places
two moss lichens, which she drizzled during the ritual with the potentized
healing water, to the two stone pillars of the border crossing.
Not far from the anchor point, we
come across this interesting place:
Someone has used strong branches
to extend the roots of the tree stump and, over time, moss has overgrown the
whole thing – which is something both interesting and beautiful. The mood is reminiscent of a magic forest from
one of the fairy tales.
We walk back to our cars. Due to the wet and cold weather, we change the original program and drive to
Andrea asks if we might be
interested in meeting with Thomas Rava about the energy quality of the year
2019 from the point of view of I Ching. Since
there is great interest, she will try to organize such an event in the Zoom
Room Video in January. At the beginning
of the January meeting, Andrea will show everyone interested in how the process
of potentiation proceeds.
Stephan brings the Einsiedeln Abbey
as our possible next project. We will
discuss this in more detail at our next meeting and define the 2019 annual
plan.
We had a great day – felt a lot,
but also laughed a lot.
