Perelandra Question Forum
June 14, 2014

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

63.
Jerry's Question: I take Joint Health for Humans daily. Is it designed to be used with a second dose focused for specific chronic joint issue as are the original MBP solutions? Any suggestions for shoulder range of motion issues?

On that note, folks (who knew we'd end on a pelvis?!), we're closing down today's forum. I hope this has been helpful. I'll see you at the next forum! Have a good weekend everyone. — Machaelle

Harriet's Question: Hello Machaelle, Thank you for Perelandra and everything you do. I am a breast cancer survivor (about 1.5 years ago) and have been taking Immune, Lymphatic, Cell and MBP for about 16 months (twice daily). I also took the Seasonal Balancing Solution in season. I was fortunate that it was early and not that aggressive. Other than the fact I didn't get a heavy cold or flu either winter I really haven't felt any impact of the solutions. Can you suggest how I can listen to my system -- body, soul -- on how these are working for me? Thank you, Harriet

60.
Lauri's Question: Instead of testing for all the Perelandra various essences, what happens if I just take ETS? Does ETS contain all of the Perelandra essences, like Rescue Remedy contains all of the Bach Flower Essences?

59.
Nancy's Question: What are the best essences for inflammation and for fibromyalgia.

58.
Colin's Question: One thing I've always wondered - when you decide to retire or you pass away, is there anyone to take up the reigns of your research with nature? Do you have an apprentice(s) to carry on after you, to whom you've shared all your essence making secrets?

57.
Debbra's Question: One last question: Lately have been developing acid reflux and doing MAP sessions around this with progressing results. Seems though, the brandy in Solutions, ETS and Essences can be at times irritating to esophagus and stomach. Switching to vinegar wouldn't help much, since it would also irritate. Is there another way to take these, perhaps diluted, while this situation resolves? Many thanks again Machaelle!

56.
Jackie's Question: Hello Machaelle - as always, I am thankful for the empowerment the Perelandra information, and your work, brought into my life. I have assumed that my MAP team, which tends to my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance is a resource for philosophical questions just like for an stomach ache. I take everything that troubles me to them - eventually. (I hope the teams aren't comparing notes, betting on who has the wackiest "client"...) I was wondering if there is a particular groups of beings a person can work with for broader, less personal issues - like a concern for fracking as an example (the practice of drilling deeply into the earth to "dispose" of the contaminated wastewater when clearly we do not know enough about the inner workings of the earth to know what consequences of that practice.) I do my best to tend to my own property and my own responsibilities, but there are issues out there larger than any one of us. Is that something I should take to my MAP team and expect they will connect me with the right WB member(s) if that type of broader work is in my best interest and the best interest of the earth? Thank you for your work, and thank you for your advice.

55.
Ed's Question: Machaelle, I have worked with the full set of essences and the new Workbook methods and MAP on my central nervous system sleep apnea, but so far with little success for the symptom "stop breathing in the middle of the night." I use a bi - pap machine, but am stuck. Any advice on how to deal with the most intractable symptom of all?

54.
Robin's Question: Very recently I experienced a stressful and traumatic work experience with someone who was verbally abusive. I feel like it added an extra load onto my system and am curious if you recommend a specific mix of solutions to try or test. I have most of the balancing solutions and all the essences. Merci--and beautiful day to you all.

53.
Mary Lou's Question: How can I transfer solution from 8 oz. bottles to the 1/2-oz. for travel? Can I use any 1/2-oz. bottle? Does the 1/2-oz. bottle need to be sterilized? Thank you for all you do.

52.
Jean's Question: Hi Machaelle. Thanks for this. I'm 76, in good health, and very new to all this. I had total knee replacement surgery 6/3 and have been taking ETS+ about 5 times a day. What to do to heal my knee and how to get this anesthesia from my mind and body? I'm not thinking as clearly as before surgery. Thanks.

51.
Laurelin's Question: Hi Machaelle, Thank you for all of your good work! I used MAP quite a bit many years ago and then (for many silly reasons I won't go into!) got side-tracked and haven't used it for several years now. To reconnect with this process and my team, should I start over like I'm new to the process and use the schedule suggested in the MAP book for beginning, or just open a session to reconnect with my team and start from there to work with them again. Again, thank you so much for everything.

50.
April's Question: When leaving solution (or solids) bowls after land clearing or balancing processes, is it okay to place them under a porch overhang, or under a table, but still open to the air outside? I recently assisted someone in using the Perelandra processes on her land and rain was forecast, so we did this. Just wanted to ask ….

49.
Coya's Question: I'm having a multitude of abdominal issues while bolstering through years of a Lyme disease diagnosis. I am taking ETS, EOP, MBP's Lymph & Immune, Bites & Stings for Human (started this one about a month ago) & MAP 2X/wk - will work more with your Duo on the hotline. For today - please comment on the parasites, biting bugs long term disease "syndromes". Should I be taking the parasite solution [Human External Parasites Solution], as well? Brain fog is huge - so forgive if not making sense.... Thanks for your awareness.

48.
Lyn's Question: 1. A very frightened norwegian forest cat, half feral, from a shelter. What can I use from the Perelandra Essences to help balance her, help remove the fears? 2. Some kind of predator (probably other, but fully feral cats) in my yard. Anything I can do to keep them out besides staking cucumbers in their tails? (just kidding obviously) but they are by nature killers and have killed several birds, a baby rabbit. 3. Garden needs 'thirsty' plants, is the MAP process good for identifying genres that would take?

47.
Elizabeth's Question: I am using the MBP and I wonder why it is that balancing the microbes balances me?

46.
Rose's Question: Your suggestion please for someone who has already broken out with shingles? Thank you.

45.
Rebecca's Question: Hello Machaelle and Perelandra Team: I was recently diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer and underwent lumpectomy + 4 lymph nodes removal 4 weeks ago. I will start chemo next week for total of 6 cycles every 3 weeks followed by 6 weeks of daily radiation. I have EoP and will start with MAP but would like to know if you can recommend particular solutions that will help with treatment side effects but also help their effectiveness. Thank you very much for this Open House Forum! Many blessings!!

44.
Anonymous's Question: I'm swamped by details! Using the Organizing Process or TT for chronic illness I could go on for pages with detailed symptoms, but then it's too much to deal with. (I start and then don't follow through.) Any suggestions? (What I've tried so far is taking this to my MAP team, who suggested I deal simultaneously with 2 related health issues using 2 weekly MAP sessions, and that I do MBP for General Balancing using the TT chart. This has been working really well. But I'm still stymied by that detail issue.)

43.
Marie's Question: I have a question, then a comment on fungi from a previous question on this list today. 1. I had shoulder surgery 2-1/2 weeks ago for bone spurs/arthritis/some adhesions on my right side. I need to strengthen back muscles so I stand/sit straighter with correct muscles working. What suggestions for essences do you have during my rehab time. Also, I would appreciate suggestions to speed healing and to prevent bone spurs from coming back. I am 76 years old and love X-country skiing, gardening, mushroom forays, and other outdoor things. 2nd question/comment: I speak as an amateur mycologist active in both the National and Michigan Mushroom Clubs. When you speak of toadstools and mushrooms, we have about 250 fungal edibles and 3000 species here in Michigan alone, so the possibilities for essences are nearly unlimited. Some fungi are medicinal "as is". Only a few are being made into homeopathic remedies which are vibrational medicins too. Perhaps some one else will be called to experiment with fungi essences? I've wondered about the potential for 'essences' before. Fungi were the very first life forms on the planet.

42.
Catherine's Question: Barbara (Q. 13) asked about Geopathic Zones. I checked the suggested page numbers in the Garden Workbook. The 2.1 Troubleshooting chart doesn't list Geopathic Zones as an option. Should I add it to the Troubleshooting Chart? (I might not realize that for either General Balancing or a specific problem there's a Geopathic Zone issue, requiring a sequence of 3 processes to 25 feet depth instead of the usual depth.)

41.
Julianna's Question: Hi, How forgiving are our MAP teams? I find myself very inconsiderate at times getting distracted by things and forgetting that I've opened a coning. Also, am I correct in opening an all day coning for workshops that I teach when I feel I need the extra assistance? Workshops are part of my SLG. I hope you do live video-classes someday, I've been involved with MAP for over a decade and still feel overwhelmed when I try to expand my procedures to include telegraph testing etc. I tend to learn better by seeing things done rather than reading and then trying to apply. Thanks for all you do!

40.
Catherine's Question: Tele-class is a great idea. I just watched the MAP Workshop DVDs recently -- they were very helpful. It would be nice to have something that includes the many updates (e.g., new approaches to MAP/Calibration, ETS+, Body/Soul Fusion Process, EoP with MAP).

39.
Catherine's Question: Re: Question 10, I'm trying to understand your suggestion better (situation with bees in a house) -- would that be done using a single 2.1 Troubleshooting (for the House? Property?), and then add wildlife troubleshooting if it turns up as needed?

38.
Francine's Question: Hi Machaelle, I've been doing the Basic Essence Test twice daily (or more when I'm sick) for about a year. I've also been using most of the solutions as well as ETS Plus extensively as suggested by Beth who has been a huge support. I've had great results and have been able to move forward in ways I couldn't for decades (I even took a trip to Mexico thanks in large part to ETS Plus!). I am very grateful to have Perelandra in my life. I'm now getting ready to do Basic Telegraph Tests for the chronic illnesses that are much less intense but still persist. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, PTSD and Borderline Personality disorder. How do I address all the symptoms with the basic telegraph test since some overlap? I'm also feeling a little overwhelmed by trying to figure out all my symptoms. I also experience insomnia, IBS and PMS and I believe that they are largely related to the mental and emotional issues. Would it be better to address the mental and emotional issues first? Lastly, I've been thinking about the Microbial Balancing Program. Should I do that along with the BTT? Thank you!!

37.
Ann's Question: I'm thrilled to report that using the new essences for External, Internal parasites, and Bites and Stings has protected me from any tick bites so far this year. In the past I would have had a least two or three bites by now. This has enabled me to spend more time in the garden and fields and I'm loving it. My area is saturated with ticks. Should I also do a trouble shooting process for the land and the ticks? Thank you for your work! I've been using your essences and processes for over 20 years and can't imagine my life without them. They have been the most valuable part of my healing system for myself and my family.

36.
Deb's Question: One more question about Soil less Garden - How does the ETS for Soil-less Gardens preparation differ from ETS? And if I do commence with the Soil-less Garden work, would it be important to use both solutions, or would just ETS be sufficient?

35.
Boris's Question: Hi Machaelle, the Perelandra Staff and the Nature Intelligencies! I'd like to know what do you think about angels in the co-creative work. Angels and Devas are the same entities? Thanks

34.
Alice's Question: I have two questions; 1) What type of vinegar do you use in the flower essence solutions? Is it organic, is it white wine vinegar? Do you do any special process to purify it before it goes into the flower essence solutions? 2) For the MAP program when doing sessions is it ok to be silent for most of the session? I find that I am only having a few minutes worth of things to say. Thank you

33.
Debbra's Question: Hello again Machaelle. Another question: In testing for essences, is it important to test them all at one sitting, or could I do a few boxes in the morning, and a few more in the afternoon? Sometimes I just don't have the time (or energy) to go through all five boxes at one time. Thank you!

32.
Diane's Question: Cleaning and re-organizing recently, and discovered I have part of an 8 oz bottle and two 2-oz. bottles of FSBS+!! Is there likely to be any future use for that, or should I dispose of it? Thanks!!

31.
Dave's Question: Hi Machaelle, Thank you so much for the beautiful service you provide for the world. I'm very new to this but find it absolutely fascinating! I'm interested in finding some work (semi-retired) but am not presently feeling very motivated. I was wondering if the SLG can help me with this. Where would be a good place to start as far as ordering materials?

30.
Deb's Question: Hi Machaelle and all, Thanks for all you are doing to improving the world. I am new to all this - I am using MAP twice weekly and ETS often I am a Singer/Songwriter. My songs are mostly spiritual and growth based - not at all main stream music for the most part and I Am interested in possibly using the Soil less Garden work as a way to focus on my dream of bringing these songs to others in the world that might benefit from them. Is this the right use of the Soil-less Garden work? (sorry, I don't even know what to call it). I ordered the book but not any particular essences to go with it. Again, thanks for all you do.I love my MAP team!!!

29.
Tom Mc's Question: I am a bit unclear about PAN. In my visualization he appears similar to Krishna, using the subtle flute to connect it all. Could you clarify PAN's role etc? Thank you :)

28.
Cindy's Question: Body weight issues. I tried weight and energy balancing twice a day and extended the process for another round. The result was 15 additional pounds... Can't believe that this is my balanced result since I am already carrying more weight than my body needs by about 60 lbs. I'm feel that I am in good shape for the shape I'm in. Blessed with excellent health... but really want the excess weight to disappear. I once weighed over 300 pounds and I turn 70 next week. Suggestions?

27.
Tom Mc's Question: First of all, thank you for offering this to us! I have been yearning for the empowerment and deeper conscious awareness of the 'invisible beings' that surround and support us. While I have only had a few sessions, the MAP team's presence was palatable. After my first session I was aware of a continuing presence that was/is around me subtly. 1) Is this part of the White Brotherhood distinct from MAP? I have been 'around' for a while, perhaps it is simply better attunement to other entities? 2) Could you please expand upon the makeup, dynamics and purpose of the White Brotherhood? I welcome and thank them for their company. I intend to make their presence more felt in my moment to moment awareness. 3) Any suggestions to facilitate this? Thank you!

26.
Spring's Question: Hello. I started a soil-less garden a year ago, but after a month and a half of diligently working on the Starting Process step, I got discouraged and stopped. I'm ready to pick it up again. Do I need to close anything down (not sure if a SLG exists if I didn't get past the Starting Process)? Start all over from scratch? Is it weird that step one took so long?

25.
P's Question: Hi, Do I have to own all the MBP Solutions to telegraph which ones I need for particular problems? I have carpal tunnel and a bunion on one foot and would like to know it there are any that could help. Thank you!

24.
Vicki's Question: Hi Machaelle. The timing of this forum couldn't be better. 3 weeks ago, about 48 of us, who had recently begun using MAP, formed a Group on Facebook, and since then, several Perelandra customers have joined us after finding my post on your Facebook page. Most of the conversations, at this time, focus on MAP experiences, and a little on your other books, Solutions and Essences. We share some incredible experiences, and discuss what we learn in the books, and on the Hotline, and we support, uplift and encourage one another. We have members in Europe, Australia, and N. America. We are grateful for your work and its effect on our lives. Our Group welcome any and all friends of Perelandra to join us, by searching "The Essential MAP Group". As a whole, we offer to you and your co-creative partners much love and gratitude, and great blessings. Vicki Hilger

23.
Rhianna's Question: This is actually a response to Tulis, rather than a question. When I retired, I had 6 months to write a full book of instructions so someone else could do my job! I had to do my regular job at the same time. I used Essence of Perelandra during that whole 6 months, and everything fell right into place. Just a thought!

22.
Tulis's Question: FYI I thank you just about every friggin' day. I take that back. EVERY day. Will do the purchases and then start a garden to get the flow to flow. Beth and Jeanette I WILL be on the horn to you right after that. xoxo

Cathy.
21's Question: Would love to see an updated photo of you on the website and in your catalog. For those of us who don't know you personally, it would be nice to see how you've changed over the years.

20.
Karen's Question: Hi, If I could choose to keep one thing it would be all my Perelandra stuff. I love it so much! I would like to know, how often can you or should you do a Perelandra Clearing on a property? Thanks

19.
Niseema's Question: Hi Machaelle, I use pretty much all the products/processes that you have offered. I am finding that the new solutions for weight, joint and energy don't seem as quick to act as the others. Beth indicated that they seem to have a "slower roll" and would check with you about that. Any thoughts? Any way to make it "faster" My apologies to nature for any offense... Thanks.

18.
Debbra's Question: Hello Machaelle, and thank you for this forum today, and for blazing this amazing trail! Have just finished reading Behaving, Dancing, and now onto Mission. And for the past few months using the MAP program and beginning essences. My question is about candida, and the imbalances that can occur in intestinal flora. Have been told I have this, but symptoms are transient. Is there a balancing solution for this, or would that condition naturally come into balance by using essences over time? Thank you again!

17.
Lynne's Question: Thank you for all you do! I have some post-surgical foot numbness that is slowly coming back. Would the MPB Nervous System help the nerves regrow?

16.
Cathy's Question: I live in a semidetached house. When I do an Energy Cleansing Process, should I include the area that extends 5 feet into my neighbours house, or end the area at the border between the 2 houses?

15.
MJ's Question: Hi Machaelle, two questions - Recent health issues 1) for osteoporosis 2) calcification of tissue in my breast which is being monitored. Also -- I've enjoyed the Healthy Aging Essence [Natural Aging Solution]; so effective. I'm feeling better about 'things' so do you recommend taking it again when aging worries resurface? Bouquets of thanks!

14.
Toni's Question: I have been taking Immune, Lymphatic for years. Can you tell me the order and wait time to take the following: Immune, Lymphatic, Flu, Respiratory, ETS, Essence of Perelandra. Thank you.

13.
Barbara's Question: I am unable to find any reference to energy clearings for geopathic zones in the new Perelandra Garden Workbook. Am I missing that? Or does the new Energy Cleasing Process automatically take care of any geopathic zones?

12.
Katherine's Question: Also, can you recommend solution combos for someone about to undergo radiation? It is an elderly family member and I find testing for family can be tricky.

11.
Katherine's Question: I find that the name I use when working with MAP has changed several times over the years. My current one is that of a plant generally considered a weed but has a huge amount of omega 3 fatty acids plus a lot of dietary minerals. Questions: Are there particular reasons why names change? And maybe I should be sampling some of this weed? Many thanks for all your work. It keeps me healthy and busy keeping up with very productive soil-less gardens!

10.
Karen's Question: Do you have any suggestions for how I can encourage carpenter bees to not eat my small wooden house?? They are doing considerable damage.

9.
Ron's Question: My question is have you ever considered making essences out of mushrooms or toadstools? I am often struck with their unique beauty and am curious if you have investigated what they have to offer. Thank you for your consideration Ron

8.
Ralph's Question: Thank you Machaelle for offering this service to the world, God knows we need it. I just started with Perelandra after hearing about it from a friend. I bought the MAP Book and ETS +. This week I have got what I think was guidance from my team and didn't have a coning open. I feel they are with me when I am particularly present in the moment. Does this sound accurate according to your experience? Thank you again. Ralph

7.
Tulis's Question: Hello Machaelle - My pattern is to often get into overwhelm. Things get splintered and I feel as though I am always catching up. My vocations are many - actor, writer, wedding officiant, personal assistant, producer, critic - and each brings me great satisfaction. I am wondering if there is a soil-less garden approach for balance - not certain if that is the right word. I want to be joyfully active instead of shooting from the hip most of the time. Feel engaged instead of wondering if I have forgotten something. Thanks.

6.
Sylvia's Question: Hi Machaelle, Thank you for all that you do and for beautiful Perelandra, which blesses our lives through the products and energies continuously! My question is would you ever consider the possibility of offering a Tele-class?

5.
Karen's Question: No question. Just interested in what everyone has to say. Thanks.

4.
Mark's Question: Hi M my question is can you recommend anything for the occasional sinus problems I have. Also with my next order, will you be supplying crackers? ( I'll let you think about that one. ) :-)

3.
Susan's Question: Hello Perelandra People. I continue to get your email notices holding you and your establishment in my awareness… You show up for me when you show up, I am in awareness then. Thank you all for all you do … I have been on a lull for some time now with the essences using only ETS and EOP . On occasion, my “self” wants to test all the bottles and I find I seldom have a positive read. So I guess this is why I am in a lull – my “self” whom I am more guided by knows what I need and when. Machaelle a note to say thanks for the published writings of your experience, I read some time ago. At that time I “trusted” something I understood through the sharing of your experience, now over the last several years having become more embodied I find the truth of my self – I have come to find I am the truth. So far this is not a question and this is a question forum so I will pose a question … How are you all? Susan from Alberta Canada

2.
Yvonne's Question: No question today, just want to say thanks for the question forum, there is now a support group for MAP users on facebook... This thing is growing bigger and better. We heart Perelandra and Machaelle!

1.
Christine in Nelson's Question: Have you heard of the Mouth Balancing Solution assisting to grow gum tissue in the mouth? After 60 plus years of brushing my teeth, I have a fair amount of exposed root from receding gums. I just never mastered the correct way of holding an electric or manual toothbrush. Thank you,
