Perelandra Question Forum
September 21, 2013

As part of our Virtual Open House, we offered an Online Question Forum with Machaelle answering your questions!

77.
Erin's Question: I have experienced irregular heart beats for several years and medical diagnoses reports that it is a benign condition. I take ETS Plus on an as needed basis and sometimes the essences. What would you recommend? Thank you.

76.
Louisa's Question: Thanks much for all these answers! I keep seeing folks talking about using EoP like I've always used the human ETS - silly question maybe but can you specify different situations, etc. when to use one over the other?

75.
Connie's Question: What can I do to reduce the inflammation and subsequent pain of spinal stenosis and spondelistthesis (grade 1) on my L4-5. Surgery has been recommended. Thank you so much In love and light

74.
Russ's Question: Hi Machaelle! Thank you for all the work you do. In the Perelandra Organizing Process, can ETS+ be used instead of testing for essences when opening and closing the coning?

73.
Catherine's Question: Hi Machaelle- Thank you for your work! I'm fully aware of what is really going on in the world and the great shift upon us. I realize there will be more disturbing events both man-made and nature-made such as shootings and floods. In the aftermath, we are blessed to have your essences. My question is: Is there a way that you get (or we can get) information from Nature about what is upcoming (at least nature-related) in our regions? Thank you.

72.
Nancy's Question: What do you suggest for strengthening resistance to community-acquired MRSA? My husband's had two bouts. Our son picked up MRSA at college 3 years years ago, likely picked up in the gym, as an athlete. Our neighbor, an ER doc, told us he just got it. Also, the same son had Lymes the summer before MRSA. He and my husband caught both infections very early on and both responded well to antibiotics, However what to do to build resistant against any lingering potential of reinfection or further complications? Thanks to you and all there for your great work.

71.
Ana's Question: Greetings Machaelle -- As I have deepened my direct experience of the Sacred Sentience of the plants, etc., I have become increasingly sensitive to the distress of the natural world in places where it is not honored/listened to in our culture. Wondering if you have any tips on handling "excursions" into these sad places/towns, etc. where nature just seems to be viewed as a backdrop for human activities. Thank you.

70.
Thomas's Question: Hello! Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the Question Line folks for all the amazing help you've provided me over the years! Also, thanks for all the awesome specials you have on your products. I'm very grateful for that as well.

69.
Louisa's Question: As usual, thanks so much for everything. I use many things Perelandra everyday & am exceedingly grateful for all of it. My questions concern the original cocreative troubleshooting sheet from Workbook 2 and the new Workbook - I can't quite figure out when/if/how to use that original TS chart. Does the new workbook replace both Garden Workbook one and two, including all the wonderful processes I've come to count on in Workbook 2? Thanks so much for clarifying....

68.
Hilary's Question: I'm trying to work out which MBS Solution(s) I should be taking for teno-synovitis. Does the synovial sheath fall under 'Integumentary'? (Sorry, I should have thought to include this question along with my last.)

67.
Catherine's Question: Hi Machaelle- Thank you so much for your amazing work. I have heavily promoted it. I've lived in N.VA for the last few years not far from you. I find the Capital energy heavy and difficult to live near. (1) What would you recommend that might help balance out the energy for me? (2) Do you feel that certain people are aligned to certain spots in nature or on the earth more than others and if so (or even if not!:-) Can you recommend a process to figure that out? (Some sort of coning I'm assuming?) Many Thanks.

66.
Katherine's Question: Just a story here. I set up a new SLG yesterday, should have done so months ago. The first Environmental adjustment needed was to clean desk, floor, table and all the stuff in my work studio. I did so, plus re-arranged things, and whoosh, such fresh energy. I was puzzled though by one instruction: "phone updates" and thought, what, a new phone already? Then I saw my husband a little later and he said, "We have to update our phones. There's a new operating system out and things won't work well until we do that." Nature, always a step ahead. Thanks for the gift of the Perelandra processes.

65.
Beatrice's Question: I have been using all your flower essences and your Workbooks since the late 80's. Thank you for this body of work which really resonates so much with me. My second question: While doing an SLG troubleshooting process and testing positive for a personal calibration or MAP coning, do I stay in the SLG coning and open the calibration or MAP coning within it? Or is this entirely separate and done outside the SLG coning?

64.
Kristina's Question: Thanks for your answers Machaelle. Another question: May I ask what you have planted in your new fall/winter section of the garden? I just looked at the week 1 photo gallery on your website. I enjoy those pictures each week, thanks for posting them.

63.
Gaea's Question: Hi Machaelle, thank you for the great work you are doing. My body is in congestive heart failure. In July my doc asked if I was drinking alcohol, because my liver is enlarged. At that point I stopped taking the essences, concerned that the brandy was a problem. My question is, if I take all the essences some 2X a day, how much brandy am I actually drinking?

62.
Laura's Question: Gracious Greetings to ALL and thank YOU Machaelle for being with us today. I was given the Garden Essences as a gift but cannot afford to buy the book that explains how to use them. Is there a summary or some guidance somewhere regarding when and how to use them? I've been using MAP for a couple of years and take the Lymphatic and Immune MBPs nightly. Thanks for any info and/or direction you can offer. Happy Autumn ALL!

61.
Elizabeth's Question: I am a long-time postmenopausal woman who is spotting again. Last year, my Dr. did a biopsy which was clear. I’d like to know what processes to do to prepare better this time for whatever procedures I have to undergo. Last year, all I had time to do was MAP, essence testing, MBPs, EOP & ETS. Even with pain meds, the exam/biopsy/PAP test extravaganza was very painful. Any way to reduce that beyond the above? Would a D&C be considered an operation, thus the surgery processes in the Essences book? I’m not concerned, and my MAP team was very clear there was no need to hurry home from vacation. Obviously, I need to address this issue more fully with my MAP team so I don’t do this anymore. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

60.
Helen's Question: I have had very bad hives since June. Started with prickly scalp and bad 'urine' smell on scalp. Then hives which have move to back and front and arms. Nothing helps. Two doctors have not helped. Drops have not helped. Kidney problem? Tests say kidney/bladder are fine. Any ideas? THANKS so much!

59.
Lindsey's Question: I have been running my business as an SLG for 5 years now, and it's been really great and I so appreciate how it works! My business is a retreat on 160 acres, the whole focus of the retreat is to be in harmony with nature. When I read about the new water and atmosphere essence I got a hit to use it, but it says only for gardens,as opposed to soil-less gardens. Since my business is pretty well based in nature, can i use it for the SLG? I will ask my team as well, but I am interested in your take!

58.
Julie's Question: I am becoming a little sensitive to EMFs. Do I use the flower essence set or do you have a solution for this?

57.
Mary Lou's Question: This past year I worked with the White Brotherhood during a couple of Soil-less Garden art projects, and they really feel like friends! Last night I started to read the MAP book. Years ago, when I was going to an energy healer, he worked with me and then during one session said, "'They' do not want to help you anymore. You have more to work on within yourself." I was devastated … and have never forgotten. I did not understand and I don't know who 'they' were. I truly felt 'less than' in my life's timing. Now, as I become more committed to Perelandra's teachings, I wonder if the White Brotherhood will stay with me for the long haul.

56.
Susan's Question: For 13 years I have been having severe muscle wasting. Drs are baffled and give no useful help. I have been using the full range of drops for decades and see no improvement for the muscle wasting. Can you help?

55.
hilary's Question: I have injured my wrist and am not supposed to use that hand for six weeks. This makes PKTT impossible. What other method could I use for essence testing etc.?

54.
Beatrice's Question: My work has been extremely stressful these last few weeks as there is a lot of it and it is dealing with public schools in NYC and placing our staff withing these schools. I have lost my fragile balance time and time again during the last 3 weeks. I am still recovering from last year's treatments for cancer. I use the MBP solutions, ETS, EoP and have started the troubleshooting MB Process in the last month as well. I also have MAP sessions as time allows. I think the answer to my question is to work less but it would cause more worries. Any suggestions?

53.
Jody's Question: Just completed a small water garden with meandering stream working in partnership with Nature Intelligence and my husband, Joel. It was completed in about two weeks! (a project that could easily have been months) It is very charming. All new/transplanted trees and plants responded well with ETS for Plants. This water garden was in response to a larger balancing of very disruptive sound frequency and noise vibration from neighbor's sick hot tub. My question is this: Would you address the element of time in the process? Even though I am told that the work we did (re: the hot tub) is complete, and that the hot tub is no longer on, this outcome does not match our current reality. Thank you. -Jody

52.
Michael's Question: Dear Machaelle, I live just outside of Boulder Colorado and I have many friends that live in Boulder and in the surrounding communities There is a lot of shock in the field here that shows up in both subtle and very palpable ways I'm wondering if there is something I can do with your remedies and other solutions that might be able to help settle and calm down the shock field

51.
Marilyn's Question: Hi Machaelle, "thank you" to you and every one at Perelandra. I just ordered my first set of nature cards! I clicked on "customer comments" for some tips but didn't find any. I know they can not be used with MAP, but can they be used with flower essences and telegraph testing?

50.
Kate's Question: As a blood type O negative, my body wants meat. Lately, however, I find myself not inclined to eat meat, and if i do, only very little, often fish. I have been following a basic eating plan that is tailored for my particular blood type, but now that I eat meat less frequently, should I be concerned by the lack of protein I'm getting? Furthermore, eating a raw food diet is more appealing than ever.

49.
Michael's Question: Dear Machaelle, What a treat to be able to ask you a direct question! Almost exactly a year ago I was in a severe mountain biking accident and broke my neck bones in many places and severely damaged my spinal cord at the level of C-5 I am paralyzed from the chest down and I have limited function in my arms and A ton of hardware in my neck For the past month I have been testing myself for the flower essences on a daily basis and feel like this is helping but I'm also wondering what else you might suggest I focus on There is the obvious physical trauma but there's also the spiritual trauma emotional trauma that also goes along with this injury and almost dying multiple times I surrendered to the medical model initially and more recently I've been taking more personal control over my path to recovery thus only using the flower essences recently Sorry I couldn't figure out how to make this question any more concise

48.
Keith's Question: When co-creating with Nature Intelligence in an SLG project which involves the creation of something new in the world, is the deva of the SLG project "a new born" deva which only received it's existence when my mental intent was sustained with enough energy to call forth from Nature this devic being...or is this not the way it is at all? You know, is there a kind of chain of command devic authority which stands in for it's protegee while the "new" SLG deva gets it's birthing aligned with the SLG practitioner's project??

47.
Kate's Question: I've been engaged in co-creative living for several years and have had incredible results. I am seeking help with sugar addiction. I am using the new EB&S and the weight balancing solutions twice daily, started using them 1X/day and then increaed to AM and PM. Do you have suggestions for what else I can do?

46.
Mariamne's Question: Hi Machaelle, Thank you for all your inspiration and splendid work which I have been incorporating into my practice since 1997. My question: My body seems to want to take the MBP Solutions in the morning, not at night (could be that p.m I am more sensitive to brandy or vinegar). I always seem to forget when I try to switch back to night . . . so mornings seem to work for me. I recall, possibly that you have suggested that evening is better?!

45.
Helka's Question: Hello Machaelle, I’m more than pleased with the results of flower essence testing in line with your book The Perelandra Essences. I didn’t know what to expect when I started testing essences last spring -- and was amazed to experience the almost immediate and very positive results! The problem was sore spots and wounds in my mouth due to a visit to a dental hygienist to have my teeth cleaned. I made a symptoms list and started testing the Perelandra flower essences as instructed in the book. In three days, my mouth was completely well again. I was amazed – and very happy. As far as I know, there is no known medical cure for such tissue wounds and sore spots in the mouth. That makes the Perelandra methods unique and worth gold! Thank you for all the great healing methods and the products you have developed in partnership with nature! I use many of them with good results. Helka from Finland

44.
Eve's Question: I recently forgot to do a follow-up for one of my SLG. When that happens, do I need to start the garden from scratch?

43.
Maria's Question: I know of an autistic child with severe allergies. I'd like to have MAP sessions for her (re: the allergies; not the autism). I think it's possible she may learn to do it for herself, which would be great. Any suggestions, cautions, etc. are most appreciated. Thanks!

42.
Nancy's Question: Why is a separate solution needed for bites and stings when ETS does such a great job with this? THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL FOR THE REALLY FINE WORK YOU DO AND PRODUCTS YOU OFFER!!

41.
Niseema's Question: Dear Machaelle, An embarrassing question . . . one I think you have answered before, but Beth and I could not find the answer. Can one kiss one's partner after taking the MBP Solutions at night and if yes, then is there a time period you need to wait to do that? Thank you and deep gratitude for all that you are doing to help humans, plants, animals and the environment.

40.
Julie's Question: I have Chronic Lyme Disease. In the past I've used MBP very successfully. All of my joint pain went away. Thank you. My main symptom now is extreme fatigue. I find it overwhelming to do the Microbial Balancing Program (MBP) or the chronic disease protocol in the essence book. Any suggestions? Also would like to know which of the new products would be good to use to avoid the possibility of future tick bites. Thank you so much for creating this work.

39.
Mark's Question: Hi Machaelle, Just a quickie can you recommend a protocol for Vertigo. Thanks Mark

38.
Elizabeth's Question: For the Equinox tomorrow, how do my husband and I incorporate all of our gardens and personal cycle? We each have our own SLGs and a joint SLG and I have a 2.0 Garden. Thanks so much to you and all your staff -- and for the new solutions, wonderful additions to your product line. Also, I need to make changes to my 2.0 Garden DDP. Should I make the change today or after tomorrow’s Equinox? Thanks.

37.
JL's Question: Does Energy Balancing & Stabilizing solution help with mentally/emotionally-based energy imbalances as well as physically-based (such as feelings of being overwhelmed or difficulty concentrating, even while physical health is good)? Will taking it help me be more receptive to changes I need to make in lifestyle to have more energy (such as eating better)?

36.
Elizabeth's Question: I am using the Microbial Balancing Program and loving it. It works. Thanks so much for your getting it out to the rest of us. I wonder if when doing the Essence Process for Microbes from the troubleshooting list and it needs to be taken orally if you need to do an NS shift or just take it. I often test for all 25 balancers can I have packets set up of all balancers and just add factor x?

35.
Kimberly's Question: Hi Machaelle - Do you have any recommendations for treating and also avoiding a poison ivy rash? I have two family members who just can't seem to stay away from it! Thanks in advance.

34.
Eve's Question: I love EoP and have used it internally whenever it tested positive, as well shifting it for issues+projects, and recently even, inspired by someone's entry in "Voices," at the beginning of a day to set the tone for what I want to accomplish. The results have been impressive: I am still the one doing the work, but I have felt immense support and grounding. And yet I find it difficult to explain this to others. Someone called it "snake oil" because it does so much, another friend told me, her manifesting powers are strong, she does not need it.

31.
Eve's Question: I have set up an SLG for my free-lance work. Every morning, when I start, I open the coning (take ETS+), during my lunch break I place the coning on "stand by," after lunch I relaunch it (take ETS+), at the end of the work day I close the coning and take one more dose ETS+. Is it necessary to open the coning during the work, or is it mostly needed for troubleshooting? Thank you.

30.
Iris's Question: Happy Equinox to all of you. Why can animals do the MBP solutions with a bit of food and humans can't? There are 4 of us who do the MBP in my household. One of these is a dog and she does her essences every night from a spoon with a smidgen of plain yogurt Each solution is done separately of course. I do the cat's in the bathroom where I can close the door. We have quite a hilarious dialogue during his forced essence time. His are done with a medicine applicator syringe. He takes his "neat" and will probably be very happy when the new preservative is being used on all the solutions. I am so very excited about the new solutions for canine & feline! Anyway, Thank you! How very blessed we all are to be a part of Perelandra!

29.
Liliya's Question: I am a nurse and I was wondering if there are hospitals or hospice agencies that actively use your essences on their patients. Thank you

28.
Elise's Question: What would you recommend for a formerly healthy person who was felled by West Nile Virus? After 7 weeks in ICU, she just got off a ventilator, remains on feeding tube, allowed limited ice chips, and is slowly regaining mobility of arms and legs. Is it possible to administer surrogate essences (assuming she assents) -- esp since she's at a distant hospital?

27.
Liliya's Question: Hi! I've been using the flower essences. I noticed that I test positive for the same essence sometimes a few days in a row. I would like to know what it means for me. You said that you used you include the explanations of the essences with them but you don't do it anymore. I wonder where I could find them? Are they available to download maybe on your website?

26.
Jyoti's Question: Hi Machaelle, your book Behaving has been an inspiration to me. No question but a story. I love sitting on a large river rock. One day my gemstone necklace broke and I watched several beads fall into the fast flowing river. I gathered up all the beads I could. About 5 minutes later I stepped into the water and deep into the river my beads were sitting on a river rock about 15 beads. I gathered up the beads and got out of the river. I looked down again and thought I saw another bead and I reached for it. It was a heart shaped river stone, a powerstone with a lot of energy. Thank you Mother Nature

25.
Lauren's Question: First - a deep thank you Machaelle, for your continued life-affirming work! My neighbor lives on and operates an organic farm just below my cabin. This year I plan to ask for permission to begin a small garden on her farm. She is in fall harvest overload so I have not approached her as yet. If I don't get permission before the Equinox, is there anything that I can do at the Equinox related to this yet-to-be-located garden to "connect it to nature’s infusion of the life vitality that initiates and triggers the new year’s cycle"? I think not...but wanted to double check. Again, I am so grateful that I have access to your work and products.

24.
Amy's Question: First a Big Thank You for all your books, solutions, essences, and assistance! My question: when it comes to the triangle of health, vs the triangle of "maintaining" a chronic illness; does the new EB&S solution work with/in/towards the triangle of health - if they are currently triangulated with an illness? Or, is there no "interplay" in or with the triangle (i.e. I'm completely off the reservation with this question)? Thank you!

23.
Susan's Question: Machaelle, I'm truly in awe with what you have done in your work with nature. I really enjoy your workshops, the way you write and tell stories, and especially you sense of humor. Your way of sharing with us always helps me feel supported and inspired. Anyway, my life is now in transition. My thoughts have been on the solstice happening tomorrow and I feel strongly about doing something to help me get clear and have more support from nature for the coming cycles. Which of your books do think will give me the best guidance for doing a personal...DDP? if that's what I need to do. Thanks

22.
Liz's Question: What would you suggest for healing lyme? What would you suggest for healing Lyme disease? If you also want to make any comments on why lyme is such an issue and how others can avoid it that would be great. Thanks, Liz

21.
Deanna's Question: I want to shift EoP to each stage of getting my newest book published. What do I do with the drops of EoP in the spoon after focusing on the book itself, and then shift EoP to each task as it arises? Swallow it or dispose of it? And, if the latter, where is the best place to put it?

20.
Rose's Question: Please, just to clarify - if part of the disease process i.e. cancer is losing weight (and the disease is also hopefully being addressed), then the Weight Bal. Sol. will help to gain weight even with the disease. Correct understanding? Thanks.

19.
Mildred's Question: What happens to your Cottage body if your Perelandra body is attacked?

18.
Greg's Question: Love your products! I have a Staph infection that won't go away. Is there something else besides Immune, Lymph, and Integumentary I could take?

17.
Mary's Question: Just some comments on your MBP Solutions: Digestive is great for stomach aches. I no longer can eat curry dishes due to my legs going into a painful spasm. When I take Muscular followed by ETS+, I am OK in minutes. Also, I had a bad rash on one of my wrists and finally got around to taking Integumentary 2X a day and it is now OK. It's all wonderful and thank you Machaelle.

16.
Rhonda's Question: Hi Machaelle! Thank you so much for all your work! Currently using EoP, I am having trouble finding a statement that works for creating more income with my pottery business. I have tried the ones you listed for businesses and 'need to pay my bills on time,' and several of my own. Any suggestions?

15.
Diane's Question: Three quick timing questions concerning taking Energy Balancing & Stabilizing & Weight Balancing solutions: 1. How long should I wait between taking each of the two solutions? 2. Should one be taken before the other? 3. How long should I wait after taking them to eat? 4. How long after eating should I wait before taking them? Thanks for formulating these two Solutions and for answering my basic questions!

14.
Vivian's Question: Do you have any suggestions of a protocol using your product for the fuzzy mind and blurred vision I get a few days before my menstrual cycle. I am 54 yrs of age.

13.
Karen's Question: Carpenter bees and ants and woodchucks are causing much physical damage to my home and under my home. I need immediate and effective help.

12.
Cynthia's Question: Hi Machaelle, when taking the MBP at night and the New solutions which I take in the morning and afternoon, can I take them back to back or do I need to wait a couple of minutes between each one.

11.
Joy's Question: I am a Special Ed teacher in a high school. I have the back corner area of a nice classroom as my space for my office/teacher needs. Can I shift EoP into that defined area where no students are allowed? I do not own this space. I have been assigned this space for the last 3 years and will continue working in this space into the future. In addition, are there any process I can use in the classroom as a whole? Thank you.

10.
M.J.'s Question: Flooding in Colorado is major. 1) Any suggestion for keeping your human body healthy during this major storm. 2) Mold may become an issue as we dry out.

9.
Kristina's Question: Hi Machaelle and all, This was my first year with the Garden Workbook in my garden. I had some great successes and some head-scratching too; like where did those tomato worms disappear too? LOL Q: For the fall equinox tomorrow I want to add my personal life cycle to the solstice/equinox rhythm (pg. 39 in the workbook) but do I make a new DDP for the new year? My first one is dated 1-9-13; or do I wait until January to make a new one? Thanks so much. Kristina

8.
Margaret's Question: My Shih Tzu who has just turned 15 yrs. is having some bladder problems having to do bathroom duties every couple hours and if I do not check him on time, does it in the house, which flower essence can I use to help him. Thanks

7.
Eric's Question: I have a Soil-less Garden going for my work and I have had mild success but was wondering if there is something more to add to the process to get better results. I have simplified and shortened my DDP and I stabilize and balance often. I have long conversations and thank my team for all the success. I have had several SG successes over the years so it's not my first rodeo. Any hints or suggestions would be great.

6.
Kathy 's Question: Hello Machaelle & Pere-team, I have a 10 year old indoor-outdoor male cat who just got diagnosed with ringworm -- poor guy is very itchy and has lots of lesions. (Somewhat surprising to me as he has always been very healthy.) He was given an anti-fungal pill for the last two weeks which helped only a little, and it's now been changed to a new anti-fungal pill. I am also giving him drops of Immune, Lymphatic, and F-1. Any other suggestions? (please?) Thank you - and love sent your way - Kathy

5.
Rose's Question: Are the weight & energy bal. solutions just for generally 'healthy' people or can they be helpful for someone underweight from being in a disease process who wants to gain weight?

4.
Karen's Question: A silly question, I'm sure, but I've often wondered when the bottle says take seven drops and you accidentally take 8 or 9 drops in the microbial balancing Solution, do the extra drops mess up the overall ability of the body to balance in that area, or is it just that I've wasted the extra drops of the essence, and needlessly use up more than i need? So how important is it to get exactly the right number of drops? Thanks, karen

3.
Lawrie's Question: Would you explain the difference between the new human energy balancing solution and EOP, I realize you can use EOP to balance different environments, but as far as balancing ourselves, what is the difference?

2.
Rose's Question: In taking the new solutions - recommended to take one dose morning, one afternoon. If I forget in the morning, would it work ok to take one early afternoon i.e. 12:30 or 1:00, and one late after-noon/evening? Maybe understanding the reasoning behind the timing would help me remember better.

1.
Michelle G.'s Question: No question but A heartfelt thank you for your work! After 20 yrs of doing the Perelandra processes I find that the more balance I hold within myself, the greater balance I can co-create with nature. I am learning the difference between working from an authentic desire to co-create balance vs. working with nature to try to control things (however subtle this might be). And through it all to be kind to myself and have a good sense of humor!
