It is an inhabited, narrow
side valley in Ticino, which is accessible from Bellinzona. We pass Vellano and Carena and drive as far as
we as the road allows us to. Shortly
after the last houses a barrier blocks the onward journey, which means that
from now on we will need to continue our journey on foot. Through a beautiful beech
forest we climb up to the Giumello Alp. The
path is steep and because of the snowy winter we soon cross the first
snowfields. At first it's just snow, but
it does not take long that we find ourselves in the middle of a misty snowy
landscape, sinking our knees in deep snow. That's not how you imagine Switzerland,
that is "the sun terrace" of the world!

Some two hours later we reach the alp and here the snow shows us our limits: here it reaches our waist
level. From here reaching the border of Bochetta of Albano and from there the summit of Bochetta of
Albano and from there the summit of Mottone of Giumello (m.2027 above sea level) is simply
impossible. Bottom line: plan change.
We need to find a suitable place to anchor the energy center of the heart center.
A look around quickly shows that the alp is not suitable. While climbing, Christoph sees a snow-free
field with large trees just before the Alp and makes the suggestion to follow that path. But before we
leave, let's have a picnic break.
Ritual
Some 3 minutes below the Alp we find the place we have been looking for: four
trees form a unit and next to it are two more trees. We are all drawn to the four
trees where we feel we are, indeed, in the right place.
As always, valuable ideas flow in from all participants, so that at the end a
powerful ritual takes place. This time we notice a special point between the
trees, it is like the heart center of a group of trees. At this point we arrange all
utensils: three stones from the Älggi alp, incense sticks, holy wood, beautiful
moss lichen and pine cones collected along the way and of course the potentized
healing water from the Älggi alp itself. We are already at the D28 potency.
Andrea has filled a small and a large bottle with the D28 solution. To address
multiple levels of consciousness, she has poured the unused portions of D1-D27
into a small and a large bottle. The small bottles are buried and the contents of the
big bottles are distributed at the anchor point of the energy line.
As a reminder to anyone who does not know anything 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 to the powder 40% of alcohol and exposed it to the sun.
This first mixture got energized then. This means: 1 part of stone mixture and 9
parts of 25% alcohol are poured into a bottle and shaken well. Afterwards, the
bottle is hit 28 times with the hand or against a cushion. That provides D1. Then
1 part of D1 and 9 parts of 25% alcohol are mixed, shaken and hit again. That
provides D2. Andrea continued until she obtained D28 potency.
I would like to explain briefly why there are three stones this time. The stones
from the Älggi alp are in my garden, next to the Yin-Yang sign. Every time we
need to select two stones for the next geomancy meeting, I let myself guide which
stones are the right ones by using the pendulum. This time it clearly showed me two
stones as well as a heart shaped third one. There is a lot of hatred towards Europe
from the south-east, so that the heart shaped stone is still very much needed here.
The heart shaped stone is placed in the southeast direction.
Today we are nine people, five women and four men. We form a circle around the
heart center and each of us turns in one direction, alternating men and women so
that it feels right for everyone. Four women are each in the main sky, a woman is
placed in the middle.
Christoph starts with an
introduction. We connect to Älggi alp
and pull the energy
from there to here, to the border in the southeast. I stand in the middle of the circle with a southeast
view and feel how the energy flows here and really pushes me forward. The energy lines we draw for our project seem
to get stronger every time we work on it. I really have to push back so I do not tip
over. After a while I let the force lead
me to the southeast and go to Michael, who marks the direction southeast. I give him five drops of Aura-Soma "Lady
Nada = boundless love" on his palms. Moving clockwise, I then go to one person
after the other and repeat this process. Thus, the flow of energy is reinforced again
and impregnated with the information "infinite love". Nathalie ignites an incense stick first in the
center and then of all women in the main celestial directions. Soon a soft scent of sandalwood envelops us. The fog starts to dissipate little by little and
pale sunbeams hit "our" anchoring point. What a nice signal! Next, I use a sack knife to swoop sacred wood
onto the anchorage point and then, to allow the yin transformation to
strengthen the earth, I pass the sack knife and sacred wood on to all
participants.
Then we put the stones, the
moss lichen, pine cones and the two small bottles with D28 in an already
existing hole next to us and splash each one in turn the D28 at the anchor
point. All the while, Nathalie mumbles a
mantra, and Michael repeats a mantra several times.
While Stephan, Michael,
Daniel and Christoph line up in the four main celestial directions, we women
(Petra, Nathalie, Nadine, Sonja and me) take the big bottle of D1-D27 and walk
together to the four trees of the anchorage point. There we distribute the potentiated water. Lastly, we go to two trees that are slightly
out of the way, symbolizing for us the land beyond the border, and spray the
rest of the water there. Although
borders are important, we want to symbolize that our work does not end at the
border, but also radiates further. Borders
should not be understood as a separation but as a mutual respect for being
different.
Further information
Daniel shares with us the information about which chakra is assigned to which
direction:
• Root Chakra - Southeast
• Sacral Chakra - South
• Solar plexus chakra - west
• Front Heart Chakra - Northeast
• Rear Heart Chakra - Southwest
• Throat Chakra - north
• Head Chakra - East
• Crown Chakra - Northwest
Excursion to Carena to the former hammer mill
After a homy breakfast in the simple but lovingly decorated Osteria in Vellano
we drive to Carena. Andrea and Julian, who yesterday pursued their own
program, are also part of the game today.
In Carena are the ruins of a former smithy. Here in the second half of the
fifteenth century and in the period between 1700 and 1800 iron was mined
and processed. In addition to the blast furnace and the hammer mill, the plant
included lodgings, coal warehouses, forge ovens and ore processing facilities.
The hammer mill is part of the
themed route "Via del Ferro" (Iron Way), which leads to former sites of
the iron and mining industry and dominated the area of the upper Morobbia Valley. On the way there are other impressive
testimonies to discover from that time: the mysterious mines and the
Schau-Kohlenmeiler. At this historic
place, we agree to a perception. It is
always fascinating to find that the perceptions are different, and yet they fit
together perfectly and give a holistic picture.
Here are the most important findings summarized:
Stephan
Hard work was done here and inhumane conditions prevailed. The iron removal occurs to me like mosquito
bites in the earth. But these are well
scarred, because it is not a problem to exploit the earth if you do it by hand
and with the necessary respect. Therefore,
no negative or heavy energy is felt here, it is a very idyllic place. Today most people work differently, without
respect. These scars that we are now
bringing to Earth are much worse. We
should strive for one-off benefits, give and take should be in balance.
Julian
He puts a stone in our midst, which stores all the information
we now exchange with each other. He then takes this stone home.
Michael
The work to be done here could only be managed jointly. Everyone was
dependent on each other. However, even when one is dependent on each
other, it is important that personal freedom is upheld.
Sonja
I felt a light and good energy and a lot of gratitude for what we were doing.
Daniel
Here, iron was mined, which was subsequently exported, thus linking the
small valley with the world. Iron as a connection to the outside. Iron is also
ambiguous for me: on the one hand, it was used for innovations, on the other
hand for swords. We are here in the southeast, the root chakra.
Here we can dock particularly well with the energy and pass on this power
as well.
Nathalie
I feel how hard work was done here, away from everything. In this place,
I am particularly aware that we are here only thanks to our ancestors.
That we only have everything thanks to our ancestors. I feel a great
gratitude to all that has been done before us.
Nadine
A powerful, very crooked tree at the end of the site caught my attention.
It looked like a transition. I really sat down there. I felt very secure and
could still see everything.
Christoph
Although it is a ruin, the ruin still lives on. On another level, as a story,
as a reminder of our ancestors and of their achievements. Thus, the ruin
still fulfills an important function and thus continues to be allowed to do so.
Andrea
I got into the energy of rushing, exploiting, ever higher performance,
more and more production pressure. It is important that we respect all
destinies. Because it is only thanks to the achievements of all fates that
we are today where we are.
Sandy
I felt the connection of the Älggi alp in this valley and how the river
carries this energy through the Ticino. This is especially important as the
inhabitants of Ticino always feel a bit disconnected from Switzerland.
Thanks to this project, we are rooting with the earth, with Switzerland in
a very special way. The connection from the heart of Switzerland to the
national borders is getting stronger every time. If we have moved the
energy lines in all eight directions to the border, it is crucial that we go
back to the Älggi alp and perform there the final ritual of this project.
So we go back to the origin and close the energy cycle.
