Clinical Case: Abdominal Mass

A woman, age 45, very active, energetic, and still having her regular periods – though no longer “as abundant as they used to be” as she described them – had realized that something was wrong with her after having started feeling the urge to go to the restroom and urinate some 7-8 times each night, this disrupting her sleep pattern and depriving her of a good night of rest. By touching her abdomen, she had also noticed the presence of a mass, which she described as being similar to a “tennis ball”. Clinical tests, which had included several pap tests and a Magnetic Resonance (MRI) all conducted during a 12- month period prior to our first homeopathic consultancy, revealed the presence of a Uterus Myomatosus permagnus, with a Sactosalpinx on the left and ovarian cysts on the right measuring one 2.75591 inches (= 7 cm) and the other 1.9685 inches (= 5 cm).

All four gynecologists who visited her had recommended hysterectomy, with two of them stating “hopefully to remove ONLY the uterus”.  Besides the discomfort of her frequent urination interrupting her night’s sleep, and some hot flashes and heavy sweating, which also occurred only during night time, she felt great and had no major complaints except for her joint pains and conducted a pretty healthy and active life. She therefore had refused the idea of undergoing hysterectomy. Eventually, when surgery seemed to be completely out of the question, she decided to look into homeopathy and give it a try.

I identified her as an Arsenicum album constitutional type: she was slim, well groomed and stylish; appeared to be always on the move, extremely active, always anxious, with a tendency to perfectionism. She loved warm drinks and foods.

During the first contact the following further aspects also emerged:

For the first time in her life she had some high blood pressure (140/90) while in the past it had always been between low and normal. She also highlighted that while her father had to watch his blood pressure all his life due to its tendency to be high, and managed it by paying attention to his eating and drinking habits, her mother, who always had low blood pressure, saw it turning into high blood pressure as soon as she entered menopause; she also complained of having been suffering from joint pains for quite some time, especially during the night and as soon as she would lay in bed, while she admitted having no pains during the day. She also pointed out that rheumatism was something else her father dealt pretty much with all his life, especially during the winter season; she expressed some frustration for her frequent travels and several relocations which all took place in a relatively short period of time and made her feel uncomfortable and somewhat concerned about the future.

She appeared to be in pretty good health and was following a vegetarian diet, drinking an average of 8-10 glasses of water each day, was pretty fit through walking, swimming and trekking. She had also plenty of interests and a harmonious family life.

I recommended the following remedies to be taken for the first 3 months:

–                     Olivis 20 drops for her high blood pressure (140/90). Olivis has been proven to be very effective in case of hypertension;

–                     Aurum muriaticum natronatum 30 Ch (3 pellets each morning) for her myoma and cysts.  Aurum mur. nat. has a powerful impact on female organs and uterine tumors more than any other remedy and is also quite effective in cases of high blood pressure and rheumatism;

–                     Arsenicum album 30 Ch (3 pellets each afternoon) AND

–                     Medorrhinum 200 Ch (one dose, every other week, on Saturday) for her joint pains.  

Arsenicum album has profound effects on every organ, and in her case would have helped to reduce or even eliminate joint pains and a sort of restlessness/nervousness due to her frequent travels and relocations, while Medorrhinum would have given her a greater help in the attempt to control, or even eliminate, her joint pains. As a matter of fact, the latter appeared to be a chronic miasm due to inheritance and predisposition. She stated that, besides her father having dealt with rheumatism all his life, she had started to suffer with pains in her joints – especially in her knees – since the age of fourteen;

–                     Sepia officinalis 200 Ch (one dose, every other week, Saturday) for her hot flashes and heavy sweating and also because she mentioned of having the sensation of bearing down in the abdomen.

Results after the first 3 months:

1)                 Her blood pressure had dropped from 140/90 to 120/80;

2)                 Aurum muriaticum natronatum 30 Ch had proven to be quite effective, as her cysts shrank, one from 2.75591 inches (= 7 cm) to 1.9685 inches (= 5 cm) and the other from 1.9685 inches (= 5 cm) to 1.1811 (= 3 cm) according to her last medical report;

3)                 Nocturnal urination had decreased by some 50% — from 7-8 times to 3-4 per night;

4)                 Hot flashes had also decreased by some 70-80% according to her statement;

5)                 Joint pains had also decreased in frequency and reduced to no more than 2 times per week, though not in intensity. Some pains in the lumbosacral region have, to the contrary, appeared.

Remedies recommended for the following 3 months:

1)                 Olivis decreased from 20 to 15 drops per day;

2)                 Aurum muriaticum natronatum 30 C (3 pellets every morning) AND

3)                 Conium maculatum 200 Ch (one dose, every other week, on Saturday) (*) for her menopausal symptoms, myoma and cysts. Her menses had become scanty.

4)                 Dulcamara 200 Ch (every other week, on Saturday) (*) AND

5)                Arsenicum album 30 Ch (3 pellets every afternoon) for her joint pains. Dulcamara was introduced after she complained about having had pains extending to the lumbosacral region.

(*) Alternating one Saturday Conium, one Saturday Dulcamara

The remedies suggested seem to have been working pretty successfully for so far

–                     Her blood pressure has become normal and she has stopped using Olivis.

–                     Her night hot flashes and heavy sweating have completely disappeared.

–                     The pains in the lumbosacral region have completely disappeared and the ones in her joints are limited to no more than once or twice per month.

–                     She does not feel the presence of the “tennis ball” in her abdomen anymore.

–                     The urination frequency during night time has also further decreased. Now she wakes up during the night no more than 2 times against the initial 7-8 per night at the time she started her homeopathic regimen.

Caso Clinico: Massa addominale

Dr.ssa Maria Teresa De Donato

Naturopata Tradizionale, Omeopata, Life Strategist, Autrice

Caso Clinico: Massa addominale

Una donna di 45 anni, molto attiva, piena di energie, e con mestruazioni ancora regolari – benché “non più abbondanti come lo erano un tempo”, così come descritti dalla stessa – si era resa conto che qualcosa non andasse  bene dopo aver iniziato ad alzarsi ogni notte circa 7-8 volte per andare ad urinare, cosa che le interrompeva il sonno non permettendole di avere una buona nottata di riposo.  Palpandosi l’addome, aveva anche notato la presenza di una massa voluminosa dalle dimensioni simili a quelle di una “palla da tennis”.  Controlli clinici, che avevano incluso vari pap tests ed una Risonanza Magnetica (MRI) – tutti effettuati nell’arco di dodici mesi prima della consulenza omeopatica, rivelarono la presenza di un Utero Miomatoso Permagnus con Sactosalpinx all’altezza dell’ovaia sinistra e cisti ovariche a destra, delle dimensioni rispettivamente di 7 e 5 cm.

Tutti e quattro i ginecologi che l’avevano visitata, le avevano raccomandato un’isterectomia, con due di loro che avevano precisato “nella speranza di dover rimuovere solo l’utero.”  Oltre al disagio causato dalle frequenti minzioni che le interrompevano il sonno, e le vampate con intense sudorazioni che avvenivano solo durante la notte, la signora sentiva di stare piuttosto bene; non lamentava problemi particolari ad eccezione di dolori alle articolazioni e conduceva una vita sana ed attiva. Di conseguenza rifiutava l’idea di sottoporsi ad un’operazione di isterectomia. Alla fine, quando fu messa alle strette dai medici perché si sottoponesse all’operazione, lei decise di tentare con l’omeopatia.

Da un punto di vista costituzionale, l’ho identificata come Arsenicum Album: magra, ben curata e con classe; apparentemente sempre in movimento, estremamente attiva, quasi ansiosa, con una tendenza al perfezionismo.  Ama bevande e cibi caldi.

Durante la prima consultazione sono emersi i seguenti aspetti:

 

Per la prima volta nella sua vita aveva avuto la pressione alta (140/90) mentre in passato la sua pressione aveva sempre oscillato tra valori bassi e normali. Evidenziò anche il fatto che mentre suo padre aveva dovuto far attenzione tutta la vita alla sua pressione alta, che comunque aveva gestito grazie a sane abitudini alimentari e stili di vita, sua madre, che aveva avuto sempre una pressione bassa, al contrario aveva visto i valori di quest’ultima elevarsi una volta raggiunta la menopausa. La cliente si lamentò anche di aver iniziato a soffrire da un po’ di tempo di dolori alla articolazioni, specialmente durante la notte e non appena si sdraiava per andare a dormire, mentre ammetteva di non avere alcun disturbo durante le ore del giorno. Fece anche riferimento al fatto che anche suo padre aveva sofferto di reumatismi quasi tutta la sua vita, specialmente durante la stagione invernale; inoltre, si dimostrò alquanto frustrata a causa dei suoi frequenti viaggi e spostamenti tutti effettuati in un periodo di tempo relativamente breve e che l’avevano fatta preoccupare per il suo futuro.

Appariva comunque in buona salute e seguiva una dieta vegetariana, bevendo una media di 8-10 bicchieri di acqua al giorno; si manteneva in forma camminando, nuotando ed andando in montagna. Aveva anche molti interessi ed una vita familiare armoniosa.

Le ho raccomandato i seguenti rimedi da prendere durante i primi 3 mesi:

1)         20 gocce di Olivis per la sua pressione alta (140/90). Olivis ha dimostrato di essere molto efficace nei casi di ipertensione;

2)         Aurum muriaticum natronatum 30 Ch (3 granuli ogni mattina) per il mioma e le cisti. Aurum muriaticum nat. ha un impatto sugli organi genitali femminili e sui tumori uterini più potente che non altra tipologia di rimedi ed è anche piuttosto efficace nei casi di pressione alta e reumatismi;

3)         Arsenicum album 30 Ch (3 granuli ogni pomeriggio) e

4)         Medorrhinum 200 Ch (dose unica, da prendere il sabato, a settimane alterne) per i suoi dolori alle articolazioni.

Arsenicum album agisce afficacemente su tutti gli organi in generale e, nel suo caso, avrebbe aiutato a ridurre, o persino ad eliminare, i dolori ed una sorta di agitazione/nervosismo causato dai suoi frequenti viaggi e spostamenti, mentre Medorrhinum l’avrebbe aiutata ulteriormente a controllare o addirittura eliminare i suoi dolori alle articolazioni.

Questi ultimi, infatti, apparvero quale miasma cronico derivante da predisposizione dovuta a fattori ereditari.

La cliente sostenne che, non solo suo padre aveva sofferto di reumatismi tutta la sua vita, ma che lei stessa aveva iniziato ad aver dolori alle articolazioni – soprattutto alle ginocchia – sin dall’età di 14 anni.

5)         Sepia officinalis 200 Ch (dose unica, da prendere il sabato, a settimane alterne)

per le sue vampate e le intense sudorazioni notturne ed per controllare la sensazione da lei menzionata di “peso all’addome.”

Risultati dopo i primi 3 mesi:

-           la sua pressione del sangue era scesa da 140/90 a 120/80;                

-       Aurum muriaticum natronatum 30 Ch aveva dimostrato di essere piuttosto efficace riducendo le dimensioni delle sue cisti da 7 a 5 cm e da 5 a 3cm come aveva dimostrato il successivo controllo medico;

-         Le minzioni notturne erano diminuite di circa il 50% — scendendo da 7-8 a 3-4 per notte;

-         anche le vampate erano diminute riducendosi di circa il 70-80% secondo una sua valutazione;

-         I dolori alle articolazioni anche erano diminuiti in quanto a frequenza manifestandosi ora solo un paio di volte a settimana benché la loro intensità non fosse ancora cambiata. Al contrario, erano comparsi alcuni dolori nell’area lombosacrale.

Per i successivi 3 mesi le ho raccomandato i seguenti rimedi:

1)              Olivis: diminuire le dosi passando da 20 a 15 al giorno;

2)       Aurum muriaticum natronatum 30 Ch (3 granuli ogni mattina) e

3)       Conium maculatum 200 Ch (dose unica da prendere il sabato a settimane alterne)

(*) per i sintomi legati alla menopausa, mioma e cisti. Le sue mestruazioni avevano iniziato ad essere scarse.

4)       Dulcamara 200 Ch (ogni altro sabato del mese) (*) e

      5)    Arsenicum album 30 Ch (3 granuli ogni pomeriggio) per i suoi dolori alle articolazioni. 

Dulcamara l’ho introdotta dopo che la signora si lamentò che i dolori si erano estesi alla regione lombosacrale

(*) Alternando, quindi, un sabato Conium ed il sabato successivo Dulcamara.

Sino ad ora i rimedi omeopatici raccomandati sembrano aver avuto successo in quanto

-        La sua pressione si è stabilizzata su valori normali e l’uso di Olivis le è stato interrotto;

-     Le vampate notturne e le intense sudorazioni che avvenivano durante la notte sono entrambe completamente sparite;

-       I dolori nella zona lombosacrale sono completamente scomparsi e quelli alle articolazioni ridotti a non più di una o due volte al mese;

-       La sensazione della “palla di tennis nell’addome” è anch’essa scomparsa;

-      Le frequenti minzioni notturne sono anch’esse diminuite. La cliente ora si alza non più di 2 volte per notte contro le iniziali 7-8 al tempo in cui iniziò il suo regime omeopatico.

Klinischer Fall: Bauchmass

Dr. Maria Teresa De Donato

Traditionelle Heilpraktikerin, Homöopathin, Lebensstrategin, Autorin

Klinischer Fall: Bauchmass

Eine 45-jährige Frau, sehr aktiv, voller Energie und mit regelmäßiger Menstruation - obwohl "nicht mehr so ​​üppig wie früher", wie sie selbst beschrieben hat - hatte verstanden, dass etwas mit ihr nicht stimmt, weil sie jede Nacht etwa 7-8 Mal aufstehen sollte, um zu urinieren, sodass ihren Schlaf unterbrach, indem sie ihr nicht erlaubte, eine gute Nachtruhe zu haben. An die Berührung hat sie bemerkt, dass ihren Bauch eine voluminöse Masse mit 

Abmessungen ähnlich denen eines "Tennisball" hatte. Klinische Kontrollen, 

einschließlich verschiedener Pap-Tests und Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT) - alle 

innerhalb von 12 Monaten vor der homöopathischen Beratung durchgeführt, zeigten 

das Vorhandensein eines mymagorischen Permagnus Uterus mit Sactosalpinx am 

linken Ovar und Ovarialzysten rechts, jeweils 7 und 5 cm groß.

Alle vier Gynäkologen, die sie besuchte, hatten eine Hysterektomie empfohlen, zwei von ihnen gaben an, "hoffentlich NUR die Gebärmutter zu entfernen". Abgesehen von der Unbequemlichkeit ihres häufigen Urinierens, das ihren Schlaf unterbrach, und einigen Hitzewallungen und starkem Schwitzen, die auch nur in der Nacht auftraten, fühlte sie sich großartig und hatte außer ihren Gelenkschmerzen keine größeren Beschwerden und führte ein ziemlich gesundes und aktives Leben. Sie hatte daher die Idee einer Hysterektomie abgelehnt. Nach einer Operation schien es völlig ausgeschlossen zu sein, dass sie sich entschied, die Homöopathie zu untersuchen und sie zu versuchen. Ich identifizierte sie als ein Arsenicum-Album konstitutioneller Art: sie war schlank, gut gepflegt und stilvoll; schien immer in Bewegung zu sein, äußerst aktiv, immer ängstlich, mit einer Tendenz zum Perfektionismus. Sie liebte warme Getränke und Speisen. Beim ersten Kontakt ergaben sich folgende weitere Aspekte:

Zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben hatte sie Bluthochdruck (140/90), während es in der Vergangenheit immer zwischen niedrig und normal war. Sie hob auch hervor, dass, während ihr Vater seinen Blutdruck wegen seines hohen Blutdrucks sein ganzes Leben lang beobachten musste, und es durch Beachtung seiner Ess- und Trinkgewohnheiten schaffte, seine Mutter, die immer einen niedrigen Blutdruck hatte, sich drehte bei hohem Blutdruck, sobald sie in die Wechseljahre kam; Sie beklagte sich auch, seit geraumer Zeit an Gelenkschmerzen gelitten zu haben, besonders in der Nacht und sobald sie im Bett lag, während sie einräumte, während des Tages keine Schmerzen zu haben. Sie wies auch darauf hin, dass Rheumatismus etwas anderes war, mit dem ihr Vater sein ganzes Leben lang zu tun hatte, besonders während der Wintersaison; Sie äußerte sich frustriert über ihre häufigen Reisen und mehrere Umzüge, die allesamt in relativ kurzer Zeit stattfanden und sie unbehaglich und etwas besorgt über die Zukunft machten.

Sie schien in guter gesundheitlicher Verfassung zu sein und folgte einer vegetarischen Ernährung. Sie trank durchschnittlich 8-10 Gläser Wasser pro Tag und war durch Laufen, Schwimmen und Trekking ziemlich fit. Sie hatte auch viele Interessen und ein harmonisches Familienleben.

Ich empfehle die folgenden Mittel in den ersten 3 Monaten zu nehmen:

1)       20 Tropfen Olivis wegen des hohen Blutdrucks (140/90). Olivis hat sich in Fällen von Bluthochdruck als sehr wirksam erwiesen;

2)      Aurum muriaticum natronatum 30 Ch (3 Granula jeden Morgen) für Myome und Zysten. Aurum muriaticum nat. es hat einen Einfluss auf die weiblichen Genitalorgane und auf Gebärmuttertumoren, die stärker sind als andere Arten von Heilmitteln und ist auch sehr wirksam in Fällen von Bluthochdruck und Rheumatismus;

3)      Arsenicum Album 30 Ch (3 Pellets jeden Nachmittag) UND

4)      Medorrhinum 200 Ch (Einzeldosis, an Samstagen, jede zweite Woche zu nehmen) für seine Gelenkschmerzen.

Arsenicum album hat tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf jedes Organ, und in ihrem Fall hätte es geholfen, Gelenkschmerzen und eine Art von Unruhe/Nervosität aufgrund ihrer häufigen Reisen und Verlagerungen zu reduzieren oder sogar zu beseitigen, während Medorhinum ihr eine größere Hilfe bei dem Versuch gegeben hätte um ihre Gelenkschmerzen zu kontrollieren oder sogar zu beseitigen.

In der Tat schien letzteres ein chronisches Miasma zu sein, aufgrund von Vererbung und Veranlagung.

Sie erklärte, dass ihr Vater nicht nur sein ganzes Leben mit Rheumatismus zu tun gehabt hatte, sondern dass sie selbst seit ihrem 14. Lebensjahr auch mit Gelenkschmerzen - besonders in den Knien - zu leiden hatte;

-          Sepia officinalis 200 Ch (eine Dosis, jede zweite Woche, Samstag) für ihre Hitzewallungen und starkes Schwitzen und auch, weil sie erwähnte, das Gefühl zu haben, sich im Unterleib abzustützen.

Ergebnisse nach den ersten 3 Monaten:

1)      Ihr Blutdruck war von 140/90 auf 120/80 gefallen;

2) Aurum muriaticum natronatum 30 Ch erwies sich als sehr wirksam, indem es die Größe seiner Zysten von 7 auf 5 cm und von 5 auf 3 cm reduzierte, wie die anschließende medizinische Untersuchung gezeigt hatte;

3) Das nächtliche Wasserlassen war um etwa 50% zurückgegangen - von 7-8 auf 3-4 pro Nacht;

4) selbst die Spülung hatte nach seiner Einschätzung um etwa 70-80% abgenommen und abgenommen;

5) Auch die Gelenkschmerzen hatten sich infolge der Frequenz jetzt nur noch einige Male pro Woche verringert, obwohl sich ihre Intensität noch nicht verändert hatte. Im Gegenteil, gab es einige Schmerzen im lumbosakralen Bereich.

Für die folgenden 3 Monate habe ich folgende Mittel empfohlen:

1) Olivis: Verringerung der Dosen von 20 bis 15 pro Tag;

2) Aurum muriaticum natronatum 30 Ch (3 Körner jeden Morgen) e

3) Conium maculatum 200 CH (Einmalige Einnahme samstags jede zweite Woche) (*) bei Symptomen im Zusammenhang mit Menopause, Myomen und Zysten. Seine Menstruation hatte begonnen, knapp zu sein.

4) Dulcamara 200 Ch (alle 15 Tage, Samstag) (*) e

5) Arsenicum Album 30 Ch (3 Körner jeden Nachmittag) für seine Gelenkschmerzen. Dulcamara stellte sie vor, nachdem sich die Frau darüber beschwert hatte, dass sich die Schmerzen auf die lumbosakrale Region ausgebreitet hatten.

(*) Abwechselnd daher ein Samstag Conium und der darauffolgende Samstag Dulcamara.

Bis jetzt scheinen die empfohlenen homöopathischen Mittel erfolgreich gewesen zu sein

- Sein Druck hat sich auf Normalwerte stabilisiert und der Einsatz von Olivis wurde unterbrochen;

Die Nachtblitze und die intensiven Schweißausbrüche, die während der Nacht aufgetreten sind, sind beide völlig verschwunden.

Die Schmerzen im lumbosakralen Bereich sind vollständig verschwunden, und die Gelenke haben sich auf höchstens ein bis zwei Mal im Monat reduziert.

- Die Empfindung des "Tennisballs im Bauch" ist ebenfalls verschwunden.

- Häufige nächtliche Wasserhähne sind ebenfalls vermindert. Die Patientin steht jetzt nicht mehr als 2 Mal pro Nacht gegen die Initialen 7-8 zu der Zeit, als sie ihre homöopathische Behandlung begann.

Open Geomancy Group Morobbia Valley (TI) 27-28.04.2017 Report - The Adventure Goes On…

Maria Teresa De Donato. PhD

Traditional Naturopath, Homeopath, Life Strategist, Author

The Adventure Goes On…

As December 2017 article I prepared the Report of the Open Group of Geomancy and their excursion to the Binn Valley on October 20 and 21. As already mentioned on that occasion, this is a group of volunteers who meet periodically to make excursions with the sole intent of helping Mother Earth to heal herself.  The evil that the human being has perpetrated against the planet Earth especially in recent decades is indescribable and in many cases, it seems that we have reached a point of no return.

The Earth, however, if we help her, has the ability to recover. While each of us can participate in this process through personal choices related to lifestyles, products to buy and to use or not, and respect for the environment, our group of friends do it by operating on specific energy flows that each environment and every area of ​​the Earth emanate.

The discourse related to energy forces and flows is a feature that unites, in fact, albeit in a different way, all the holistic methods including Homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chakras and the Theory of Yin and Yang, the Kundalini Energy, Feng Shui, and Geomancy. And these are just some examples that can help us to have a better idea of ​​how and to which areas - environment and health in the first place - the concept of energy and energy flows can be applied.

Geomancy specifically, as understood and applied by the friends of this wonderful and very active group, aims, through periodic excursions, at ensuring that all the participants are attuned to the energies of the specific places they are visiting, and through a process of total osmosis with Nature, they absorb or at least identify the type of energies present in those areas, and, by means of rituals based on intentions and specific visualizations, purify the negative ones, also removing the stagnant ones in such a way as to allow the Cosmic Energy Chi/Qi/Prana/Cosmic Breath of the Universe to resume flowing smoothly, dynamically and positively in harmony with its very nature and purpose.

That being said, I wish you all to enjoy the reading of this wonderful adventure along with all of us.

 

Open Geomancy Group

Morobbia Valley (TI) 27-28.04.2017 Report

After the winter break, we continue with our project, energy lines from the center of gravity of Switzerland in the eight cardinal directions to the state border.  This time we will be heading to the southeast to the Morobbia Valley in (Canton) Ticino.

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:

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.
